Some villages are "wet", with high rates of alcoholism, family dysfunction, fetal alcohol syndrome, and suicide. In some the kids are into "huffing", i.e. inhaling solvents such as gasoline and paint thinner. Furthermore, many of these villages are suffering severely from skyrocketing fuel prices, loss of state benefits, and rapidly eroding coastlines.

Like us Irish, Russians, and a lot of other Northerners, Indians have a genetic disfunction with alcohol. I don't know if we handled the Alaskan tribes the same way we did the mainland ones, but keeping them penned up on reservations instead mainstreaming them was a big mistake.
