What a bunch of propaganda.  I have been up there.  For one Bettles is basically an airport. Some white people there have a flying service.  The Natives live in HUD housing in Evansville.  At least one household there is a white man married to a Native women sucking it up.  The 2000 population of Evansville was 28!  The payments on the three bedroom HUD homes is about $150 a month.  The whole village of 28 people is a welfare paradise.  The Natives already have their private hunting ground, the Kanuti Wildlife Refuge, accessible by the Koyukuk River.
