MONDAY, AUGUST 12, 2002 Alaska Native leaders are reacting with caution about a suggestion to combine as many as 10 Native villages. They say their villages have their own culture, language and subsistence lifestyle. Consolidation could upset their traditions, according to some of the leaders. Sen. Ted Stevens (R-Alaska) raised the idea because moving each village separately could cost upwards of $10 billion. He wants to provide money because the villages are threatened by erosion and homes have fallen into the Chukchi Sea. Get the Story:
