Rarely cited, if at all, was what her tenure has meant for issues of concern for Alaska Natives who comprise nearly one-fifth of the state\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s population. Despite the echoes of \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Drill, Baby Drill,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d on the floor of the Republican National Convention, a majority of tribes in Alaska have continued to oppose Palin\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s platform for drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. As Governor, Palin has also opposed Alaska Native Subsistence rights to hunting, harvesting and fishing by filing an appeal seeking to invalidate such protections granted by the Federal Government. While the Republican Vice Presidential candidate speaks of her campaign\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s energy policies for the nation\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s future, indigenous communities in Alaska continue to suffer a crisis of rising heating oil and gasoline prices. A Senate Committee hearing on Indian Affairs that took place earlier this month in Bethel, Alaska highlighted the energy crisis faced by rural communities. Nearing ten dollars in some villages, high costs for fuels have increased already existing economic hardships. <\/p>\n<p><em>GUEST: Steve Osborne, Executive Director of the Alaska Inter-Tribal Council<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Related Links<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.aitc.org\">The Alaska Inter-Tribal Council<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/wp-dyn\/content\/article\/2008\/09\/29\/AR2008092900336.html\">Alaska Natives question Palin&#8217;s support<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.talkleft.com\/story\/2008\/9\/9\/193512\/8898\">Palin&#8217;s Poor Record on Alaskan Native Issues<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/ap.google.com\/article\/ALeqM5jjtSZGziV-5C7BVO5oteUzZEBtdAD93GG4S00\">Alaska Natives question Palin&#8217;s support<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>| the entire program When Alaska Governor Sarah Palin was announced as John McCain\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Vice Presidential running mate, the campaign was quick to present her political record in the state as one of reform against corruption.
