An Indigenous Vision for Our Collective Future: Becoming Earth’s Stewards Again (Fall 2020)

“Alaska’s laws and state constitution do not recognize Tribal sovereignty or our customary and traditional life ways,” writes Native Peoples Action, “forcing us to fight for our rights to steward our own lands, animals, and waters. Instead, state government and educational systems recognize non-Native ‘pioneers’ and more recent newcomers as key figures in Alaska’s history, essentially leading to Indigenous erasure.” This erasure, of course, affects everyone and everything. As this article reminds us, “we are all equal in the sacred balance of life.”
