Well the natives are still getting their biannual royalty checks aren’t they?
Last I heard it was about $1,400?
The Alaska Natives get $30,000 a year. That was ANCSA. The PFD dividend would be about $1100 this year for those who apply, which I don’t. In about four years Alaska will be in a financial bind and the status of the PFD might be in doubt and there could be an income tax instead.
