6:53 Aleknagik is a small community 20 miles up the road from Bristol Bay’s western hub of Dillingham. It has around 200 residents, but no local police. So, for years, when someone in Aleknagik called 911, the person on the other end of the line couldn’t offer direct help. That was dangerous, said Kay Andrews, Aleknagik’s city administrator. “Five years ago, my daughter tried to call 911, and she was told to call another number,” said Andrews. “This was an emergency. She has no means to write another number and then hang up the phone and call another number.” The problem was that 911 calls were routed to the Dillingham police, who don’t have jurisdiction in Aleknagik, because it’s outside of Dillingham’s city limits. The issue highlighted the patchwork — and often inefficient — emergency-call system in rural Alaska.

ANCHORAGE (AP) â A bill moving through the Legislature would require state recognition of Alaska's 229 federally recognized tribes. Supporters say the measure is needed to encourage better collaboration and consultation between the state and tribes; formally acknowledge Alaska tribes' sovereignty, history, culture and contributions; and potentially allow them to access additional resources, Indian Country Today reported. "By supporting this bill, you are uplifting these unique and resilient people that have been here for 10,000 years," Brooke Woods, of the Athabascan community of Rampart, told the House State Affairs Committee earlier this month. Alaska has 40 percent of the country's 574 federally recognized tribes. As of 2016, 63 tribes had state recognition in 11 states, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Having both federal and state recognition can foster government-to-government relationships and in some cases qualify tribes for federal and state support, the organization said.
