You share to survive. You care for the community as a whole. Every hunter's prize is a gift, not just to that hunter, but also to his family and village. This same sense of shared responsibility must be kept alive as we recognize the needs of our environment. Pollution knows no borders.
All rivers eventually run into a common sea.
All living things breathe the common air. Yes, it is a collective world, but one in which we live so privately. Without concern for other people, for their needs and wants, activities for strictly private gain become destructive, not only to others but eventually to oneself. That may seem strange to those of you from the South 49, as most of the US is privately owned. Both state and federal set-asides in Alaska have preserved the beauty of our state.
