A great project and it really fills the need. Some of those villages aren't even dirt poor, they're worse off.

Lt Col Charlie Brown Not all Native Alaskan villages are poor. One side trip of an Alaskan cruise was to visit Alaska’s State house in Juneau. As we rode the elevator to see the governor’s office we happened to engage a Alaskan State Representative who had flown his village’s airplane to Juneau that morning for a ‘meeting’. He told us of the various commercial enterprises his native village was engaged in. I want to recall they even had a factory in Puerto Rico in addition to several in the US.

Some of them have a very active Tourist trade also. I was privileged to be stationed at King Salmon when they still had an active Air Detachment and people fly in from many parts of the world to fish in that area during the Salmon runs. Back in 86 when I was there for 9 months out of the year the population is about 300, the other 3 it was over a thousand.
