Geography

My family is from Huslia, Alask. Back in the day before i was born and even thought of, the native people lived of off the land. made clothes with what they had and never wasted anything, Also money wasn't a concern like it is now.

The natives in my hometown share a lot. It is like whenever someone gets a moose they either share it during potlaches or any different events. They also share hunting places. Even welcome strangers to their houses to eat or maybe even share their vehicles. My hometown is all about sharing (pretty much).

Since my hometown is Huslia my corporation is Doyon. As a shareholder i get checks every November or so. When i get my dividends from Doyon they are about ninety to one hundred dollars.

Fighting for Rights

The hunting rights issue had its beginnings in 1960 when state Representative John Nusunginya was arrested for shooting ducks outside of a hunting season established by an international migratory birds treaty. Two days after he was arrested, 138 other men shot ducks and presented themselves to federal games wardens for arrest. By 1961 the charges against all of them had been dropped, but all Natives were warned that future violations would result in arrest in prosecution. This was a very inspirational quote that i think was a very smart and strong. Back then I guess it was hard going for their own rights. In my village of Shungnak Alaska by Kotzebue my family and many other people up north went geese hunting. So this event in the past really helped hunting rights today.

William Hensley:The Treaty of Cession

I totally agree with him on this subject "why had not the 7 1/2 million been paid to the Alaskan Natives, and Eskimos?Instead it was paid to the fellow Russians for no reason, because they claimed the land? Alaska, and Russia should start a media war, to see who gets the land, and if Alaska wins ,then Russia can refund all the money that they got for free? Oh well i'm pretty sure that this will never happen in American, Russian, and Alaskan history.
