Certainly, Alaska is not any different in terms of the conflict that might be in place in a region, to the extent that President Trump is trying to remove the moratorium that President Obama put in place. Both had different levels of input from peoples in the region and conflicting input from peoples in the region.
I was going to suggest this earlier, in relation to the ways to increase indigenous corporation participation in projects, that one of the conversations about offshore development in Alaska....The indigenous peoples have village corporations and a regional corporation that engage in economic development activities. They became carried partners in offshore development or the potential there. That's one way, maybe, to approach that question: carried partners. There are no capital requirements up front, but they are able to be included in the process and can build capacity. Maybe there's some consideration for scaling that percentage of carried partnership down over time, as additional projects come forward.
I was going to throw that out as one answer to that question, but again, when it comes to limiting development in a region, I think we're talking, at least in Alaska's Arctic, about a region the size of a few, three or four, of the larger U.S. states. A moratorium or a removal of a moratorium for a region that extensive doesn't always make sense. What we've heard from many people in the past is that looking at a region at a more micro level might be more significant.
