From the transcript
As part of AFN statewide subsistence listening sessions, we have worked to better understand the frameworks that have governed subsistence in Alaska, the challenges of our communities face, and opportunities to strengthen Alaska Native rights. These conversations brought together tribal leaders, elders, hunters, fishers, gatherers, and community members from across the state to share their experiences and perspectives for the future of subsistence. Please welcome Jaylene Kookesh, who participated in these listening sessions in helping bring this presentation to communities throughout Alaska. Her presentation, Existing Subsistence Framework, provides important context for understanding the current systems that govern subsistence and the issues we must consider as we work toward a framework that better reflects Alaska Native perspective, priorities, and rights. We also welcome AFN's own Nicki Stoops to the stage, who will provide an update on AFN's subsistence listening sessions finding report.
