Panelists speak to audience members about the importance of food and cultural security during Alaska Day 2024, in Washington D.C., May 1, 2024. The discussion examined Title VIII of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA), the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA), and the Endangered Species Act (ESA) in the context of food sovereignty and cultural preservation. Participants shared how these laws intersect with the rights of Alaska Natives to hunt and fish and their broader implications on Alaska’s ecosystems and wildlife management. The discussion aimed to foster dialogue on balancing conservation efforts with sustaining Alaska Native cultures, addressing regulatory challenges, and enhancing community resilience and food security in the face of food shortages and environmental, legal, and political challenges.
