Senate President Peter Micciche, R-Kenai, left, smiles as Barbara Blake, Liz Medicine Crow and Richard Petersen give a group hug in the Senate chamber after the passage of HB123 to recognize state tribes at the Capitol in Juneau on Friday, May 13, 2022. The three co-sponsored a citizen initiative on the subject.
If the bill is enacted, its passage would likely bump from this year’s ballot a similar tribal recognition initiative, according to a memo from a legislative attorney. Initiatives that qualify for the ballot can be preempted if the Legislature passes substantially similar legislation first. If the bill were to stall, however, and not pass — the regular session is set to end on Wednesday — the initiative still would be on the ballot.
“Without a strong foundation between governments it’s like building on sand — trust is temporary, relationships erode quickly, and efficiencies that are collaboratively achieved are unsustainable,” according to the ballot group.Rep. Tiffany Zulkosky, a Bethel Democrat, sponsored the bill, HB123. There are more than 220 federally recognized tribes in Alaska.
