Comment from Sharon Hildebrand, Chief/Chairman - Tanana Chiefs Conference

Summary: The Tanana Chiefs Conference, an Alaska Native non-profit tribal consortium, supports the current structure of the Federal Subsistence Management Program (FSMP). They argue for maintaining the five public seats on the Federal Subsistence Board, preserving the Regional Advisory Councils, rejecting state deference, retaining special action authority, and keeping the Office of Subsistence Management in its current position to protect rural subsistence rights and food security.
