You clearly do not know the history of Alaska being "bought" and what the Alaskan natives went through when Alaska become a state. It was horrific! We (white people) told them they had to unindentifie as a "native". not live the way they've been living, speak English and accept American culture. If they didn't they were beaten, rapped and murder. Children were taken away from their families to attend a "white" school.
What happened to these troopers was horrific. God rest their souls!!!
