The occupying US army in Alaska was given the vote and ordered to "make Alaska a state" by the commanding officers.
56 years later the large white cities have water and toilets, the other 97% of Alaska poops in holes or buckets.
I had plumbing during the year and a half I visited the states. The convenience was not worth having to live in a hive so here I am, pooping in a hole in the ground a -20 degrees.
If the villages were full of white people this would have changed 70 or 80 years ago.
The present administration stopped pretending and openly encourages this second class citizenship.
I suppose it is good we are only tan instead of dark brown.
In the for what it's worth, at -73 (Fort Yukon, winter of '79) the stream of pee cannot be seen through the vapors, and the outhouse 'stump' reaches high enough to poke the unwary.
