Excuse me, although it is commendable that Alaska can welcome so many different races  or religions and write about their customs and how much they contribute to the community, I would prefer to see more articles and life stories about traditional Alaskan Natives who were some of the first people  to migrate and try to settle Alaska. Too many times local early people have been ignored or discriminated against, but having also been born in Alaska and grown up with many in SE who are now revered elders, and lived in several areas I certainly would like more  recognition  of Alaskans who have tried  and succeeded in their lives and making Alaska a better home for us all.
