There was a party - well that seems the best word - for the Yes on 1 Stand for Salmon folks. Some talk about the 400 pages that regulate fishing versus the relatively little that regulates those who develop around fish habitat. I know there are more regulations in other places for the developers, but really, this is about corporate interests wanting to be able to do what they want in Alaska without pesky citizens raising issues at public hearings. This is one of the world wide battles between indigenous peoples and corporations over protecting the land that allows indigenous peoples to keep their cultural heritage.
I did talk about the history of this recurring battle
in the post Vampire History of Alaska.
But tonight was great music by an Alaska band that combines Native and Western music. At Out North's newish downtown location.
And vote yes on proposition 1.
