I think the kids should be interviewed. Teachers should be interviewed.  The article makes it sound like they are happy in Texas and involved in activities. . I think the law should not show predjudice because they are native saying they have to be raised in Alaska. I think the families should work together and be civil to each other to decide what is best for the kids. There is no reason they can't live in Texas in the winter and spend the summers in Alaska. One Aunt doesn't have anymore rights than the other aunt. I'm sure the kids will have an opinion soon enough if not already.  But we all know the glass slipper doesn't fit.
