This article points out factually, that there are no Native Judges in AK and implies that this is wrong.  Unfortunately, the author provides no supporting evidence of this.  When I attended law school we were visited by a female Justice with the USSC.  During her visit, ​someone pointed out in a property law class that 60% of all lawyers were men and 40% were women, but 70% of all Judges were male in the state and only 30% were female.  The Justice asked if this was fair and almost every hand went up expressing outrage.  Finally, the Justice asked if anyone disagreed with this?  Only one hand was raised and that person asked, “How many of those lawyers met the qualifications to be Judges.”  The justice smiled and said, “80% of all male lawyers and only 20% of females lawyers met them. The Justice  said, "I want to re-ask this question of how many of you are now outraged over the comparative numbers of male Judges to female Judges?"  No one raised their hand!  You need ALL the data!
