Ya know, if Murkowski hadn't promised the Indians vast amounts of funding to soon come their way if she wins;(Ak Federation of Natives conference was just a few weeks back) most of the Indians would have voted dem and Miller would have already been declared the winner.

What can you do I guess? I got a few Indians in my village to vote for Miller (I witnessed their absentee ballots), but across Alaska, many villages voted entirely for Lisa.

The Indians have become dependent on the fed spending started in the 60's. Upriver in Canada, the govt gives the Villages BLM, fed park lands for economic development. The Indians in our village have cousins in Canada who are doing so much better than in the villages here along the Yukon in Ak. It's sad because our Indians here are dying out as a people from the social condition our govt has supported; same as genocide actually.

I keep telling them how can they believe anything any White political promises them; they have 100 years of promises and it's not getting any better when they keep burying way more than being born.
