" Alaska is extremely financially and educationally generous to the Native population."  Really?  I mean really?  Explain to the rest of us uninformed readers why a handful of rural Native villages sued the Alaska Legislature for discriminating against them over underfunding their education formula funding which is protected under the state's constitution.  The villages that sued the Legislature won their lawsuit.  And let's not forget that even though rural Alaska is essentially responsible for providing the rest of the state with oil/PFDs, rural Alaska is still way behind in connecting to basic Internet services and computers.  Now tell us again, Tesa Ann, how generous Alaska is when it comes to equally funding rural Alaska schools, or providing sewer and water systems that urban Alaska appears to enjoy.
