you are way off fishing and tourism are the perhaps the most sustainable sectors of the economy, but it is only one piece of the economy, for all your rhetoric about not consulting local people you are also way off base.  being from rural Alaska and born and raised here we are flooded with requests for comment and collaboration on everything from the economy to education to sewer and water, when the agencies don't get it right we let them know.  urban and rural ties, manufacturing and industry, small business they all exist here in Alaska and yes the feds contribute their share, Obama did listen to tribes with the E.O. and with his recent actions.  he was the only president to visit an Arctic Community and shame on you I know some baristas who are brilliant lights in this economy and society.
