TRIBAL WARFARE: NATIVE ALASKANS SAY PALIN NEGLECTED THEM AND THEIR COMMUNITIES FROM DAY ONE OF HER GUBERNATORIAL TERM


"She's just sort of absent on issues. It's like an indifference," said Al Kookesh, the co-chairman of the Alaska Federation of Natives, which has its annual convention in Anchorage this week.

And she certainly wouldn't get complex issues in a vice-presidential role. Read on, in today's Anchorage Daily News.
