Hunting is an important way to pass on family traditions and fill our freezers with healthy wild game meat. As we begin the 40-Mile Caribou winter hunt, we want to make sure you are ready to get out and be successful in your harvest. On top of everything that you may have on your […]
This November 3rd, we urge rural Alaskans to vote YES on Ballot Measure 2. Our current election system of closed primaries and uncompetitive general elections does a disservice to rural Alaskans. Ballot Measure 2 offers a better path forward. First, we’ve seen increased polarization and gridlock in Juneau in recent years, driven in part […]
Dear Friends and Alaska Neighbors: We don’t have to accept Governor Dunleavy’s decision to oppose needed revenue to run our state. He has been clear that he wants to keep cutting schools and the things that matter to our future. We can take that decision away from him on the November ballot. Here’s […]

Fortunately for me I do neither of these things. What forensic scientists do is take evidence from a crime scene and use science to answer […]
Those looking for a silver lining in the “summer of COVID” might find one in a variation on the old “good news/bad news” story. The bad news is, the tourist industry shutdown has kept most visitors away during our peak outdoor recreation season. The good news is that Alaskans have had the whole place […]
Senator Sullivan has had 6 years to come out against the pebble mine—and saying the bare minimum against it now after the National Republican Party gave him permission only proves he’s just another lapdog for the Feds. If he really wants to prove himself to our people and our state, he needs to return […]
