Identity, Access, Representation
“In the March/April 2024 Edition of my Native corporation’s publication, Storyknife, there was a call to action, Fed up with salmon bycatch and reduced opportunities for subsistence fishing?
In April, governing bodies are considering two actions:
Adding subsistence user representation on the Federal Subsistence Board
Capping chum salmon bycatch by Alaska’s pollock trawling fleet
Calista strongly supports increased representation by subsistence users in federal decision making that affects our food and our way of life. We encourage Shareholders to provide their input as well.
My inner child knew we had an obligation to respond, she looked up at me and said, “Access and Representation. Submit your statement to the Federal Subsistence Board.”
