“Like most #AlaskaNative and American Indian tribes from across the country, we have been anxiously awaiting this decision,” said Julie Kitka, president of the #Alaska Federation of Natives, in a prepared statement. “The wait is over, and the victory is ours. Our ways of life will continue through our children.”

Melting permafrost, the rising sea, and storm surges have rendered Newtok—along with dozens of other Alaska Native communities in northern and western Alaska—unlivable. Most residents have been forced to relocate.

While the #Alaska #HouseofRepresentatives remains without a majority coalition, Rep. Patkotak (I) an #Iñupiaq from #Utqiagvik is presiding over the House until a leader is elected. He has been in the Speaker Pro Tem role before when the House was in the same position in 2021.

Jackie Qatalina Schaeffer, director of Climate Initiatives for the #AlaskaNative Tribal Health Consortium moves to the podium now, talking about what the changing #Arctic means for the indigenous peoples of #Alaska. "Our homes and livelihoods are threatened by the changes outlined in the report card." People rely on the #CriticalZone and human caused climate change is altering that relationship forever.

"Amid a weak caribou harvest, one North Slope village flew literally a ton of whale meat to another for Thanksgiving."
This story is a great example of the inspiration we can all take from Inupiaq and other Alaska Native cultures.
I'll always cherish the time I spent working in Chevak, a Cup’ik village in Western Alaska. I learned a lot, and left with a better and broader perspective on life.

Holy crap!
Mary Peltola's victory is on the front page of the New York Times:
https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/23/us/politics/mary-peltola-alaska-house-race.html
Representative Peltola will be the first Alaska Native woman to serve in the US Congress. That's a historic first, and I know she's gonna do a heck of a job. (She's had a big voice in Alaskan politics for quite some time.)
It's still thirty minutes before Thanksgiving, but I'm already feeling grateful. 🙂
