The federal government is requesting feedback on subsistence policies

Togiak National Wildlife Refuge

The federal government is holding a series of listening sessions this month to receive feedback on federal subsistence policy. The listening sessions are hosted by the U.S. Department of the Interior and the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

The departments are seeking Alaska Native perspectives on how climate change has affected subsistence, and how subsistence policies could be updated to address those changes. They are also looking for ideas on how management of subsistence resources could better accommodate Alaska Native peoples’ needs.
