Worst part about the entire section 8 / slash Alaskan Native Corporations process is that they literally have a monopoly on many Federal government  contracts. 
For example, if the Coast Guard needs a Navigation  pile replaced in let's say Wrangell Narrows it can only negotiate  the contract with "approved" contractors, read Alaska Native Corp.  Who ends up actually doing the job?  A local pile driver working as a sub-contractor who would have bid the contract on his own if the rules allowed.The "approved" contractor steps on the aforementioned  local subs price let's say 30%. Sham or scam?
