Another road, another bridge, and another road is not the answer.

I would like to share what I’ve experienced in the five short decades that I’ve been in Alaska with the following two examples. First, there was an area of good moose hunting south of Fairbanks where residents would go to harvest their winter moose in the 1960s and 1970s. Through a lottery, the state sold thousands of acres of that land that became the Delta Barley Project. You can no longer hunt, or trap, or snowmachine there. Not without asking permission, as it is now all private land.
I was as upset, as were many others in the state, when Congress passed the Alaska National Interest Lands Claim Act and locked up more than 100 million acres of federal public land. A lot of it was now off limits to gold mining, hunting and other recreational activities that myself and fellow Alaskans had been enjoying for many years. Now as I look at what is being locked up in developed, private lands, my perspective on what happened in 1980 has changed.
