Been to Alaska a few times but never at street level, I was always hunting or fishing. Our Inuit guides would tell me about the alcohol problems within the towns and the family members lost. Most of the villages have banned all alcohol but it still gets bootlegged in. They fear for their children when they leave the village and move to town where it’s a war zone of alcohol. I’ve seen the same thing on reservations in Mew Mexico, Oklahoma and Arizona. My sister in-law is 100% Choctaw out of Oklahoma and her stories of alcoholism on the reservation is down right scary. She left as soon as she could, joined the Navy and later became an RN.

Had a buddy tell me about a hunting trip on a Jicallaro (I spelled that wrong) reservation in New Mexico. It was put together well with a guide and housing and extras. One of the other parties had smuggled in alcohol after being told it was not allowed. They were escorted off the res and banned for life.
