Organized Village of Saxman Sues Interior over Subsistence Rights
Here is the complaint in Organized Village of Saxman v. Towarak (D. Alaska):
An excerpt:
This action seeks declaratory and injunctive relief under section 807 of the Alaska National Interests Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA), 16 U.S.C. § 3117, to prevent the Secretaries of Interior and Agriculture from implementing a 2007 final rule that administratively grouped the rural community of Saxman with the nonrural cvcommunity of Ketchikan. Only residents of communities identified by the Federal Subsistence Board (FSB) as rural are eligible for ANILCA’s subsistence priority. 50 C.F.R. 100.5 § (2013). By grouping Saxman with Ketchikan, the 2007 final rule removes Saxman’s rural status and effectively eliminates Saxman’s priority for subsistence uses set forth in ANILCA section 804, 16 U.S.C. § 3114, thus denying Saxman’s members continued access to the subsistence resources they depend on as a mainstay of their livelihood in violation of section 811 of ANILCA, 16 U.S.C. § 3121, and the Administrative Procedures Act (APA), 5 U.S.C. § 553, 706(2)(a),(d).

In his letter to Alaska Attorney General Mike Geraghty, AAG Tony West notes that the State of Alaska is legally obligated under federal law to honor tribal-court protection orders, regardless of whether those orders were previously registered or filed in State court. He further offers assistance to bring the State into compliance with Federal law.

NPR Segment Profiles Ojibwe.net
NPR has “For Rare Languages, Social Media Provide New Hope” here.
An excerpt:
The creators and contributors of Ojibwe.net — a website that seeks to preserve Anishinaabemowin, an endangered Native American language from Michigan — use Facebook in a similar manner.
Ojibwe.net contributor Margaret Noodin is an assistant professor of English and American Indian Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. The language has 8,000-10,000 speakers, she says. But most of the native speakers are over 70 years old, placing the language under threat.
“That’s the most dangerous thing. There are very few young kids that are growing up in a fluent environment,” Noodin says.
