Comentary:
Please don’t put blame on the average Alaskan Native.
The Indigenous Alaskan Corporations have worked very hard to make sure that Native Alaskans don’t know what is happening in the corporations. They use LLC vehicles, shell companies, and subsidiaries to hide all of this from the general public. It is disturbingly ironic, as you said, but your everyday Native Alaskan has no idea what their corporations are doing.”
This disconnect between corporate leadership and shareholders is well documented across ANCSA history. Layering dozens of LLC subsidiaries beneath a central holding company insulates executive decisions from shareholder proxy votes and financial reporting, keeping the everyday Alutiiq shareholder completely in the dark about how these federal contracts operate on the ground.
Episode Overview
In this episode, we break down the operational structure of the newly uncovered 63 million dollar ICE coordination hub. We trace the federal contracting loopholes that allow Alaska Native Corporations to bypass public scrutiny and fuel the 287(g) local deportation dragnet.
