It is interesting to read the race based comments, when race wasn't even brought up.  This article is addressing the relationship Alaskan Natives hold with the Federal Government.  Any, "White guilt," is on yourself.  As a group of people made up of many different tribes, cultures and values, it is in our best interest to hold the Federal Government accountable.  With their past history, we have every right to be cautious.  As for some elders being, "Good, very bad, and selfish," I would like to say that is a brilliant observation of humanity.
