Opinion: No Native businesses

MONDAY, JUNE 17, 2002

"With some apology to Mark Twain, it might be said that it can be shown by facts and figures that there is no distinctly Alaskan Native business.

It always confounds me, when I read news articles or see directories on businesses in Alaska, to see sections on "Alaska Native Businesses." What is that we do that is "Native?" Who hires us to be a "Native?" Are we selling our "Nativeness" or somehow different in what we do because of our unique ownership?"
