Facilitator

To the editor:

I admire all my peoples’ knowledge. I also accrued a lot from the other cultures. I got my associate’s degree through speaking and socializing with all people.

I always remember a speech by President John F. Kennedy when he said: “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.”

I changed that and said: “Ask not what your people can do for you, ask what you can do for your people.”

My main point here is to get an advocate who can facilitate the things that goes on in our government in Juneau.

When we read the different papers or watch the television or listen to the radio, we want to ask questions at that time when we don’t fully understand the issues which are being discussed.

At this point, a facilitator would fully explain the different issues.

This will improve our understanding of our government more thoroughly.

This would also create a good job for someone.

    No matter what kind of degree you have, there will always be a time in life to become honest in your own fate. As spoken before-honesty also reflects in Juneau and in our region publicized of our-Athabascan Fiddle Festival. Can you respect to conduct an honest election for our Athasbascan elders who for many years want a new board to carry on what they wish?

    Wisechief- Please make sense, guessing at what you mean causes me to look right past you. Clear sentences, with a point that is apparent and not percieved.

    I am not sure how this "job" would be created or function. I do think that you are correct in saying the we need someone that will help the rest of the people understand government. We need people that have a genuine interest in it to close that gap. I am not that person, but I have a lot of respect for anyone willing to take on that challenge.

    JB, Mr Larry Titus has written to the editor and covered for the Athabascan Fiddle Festival board before-where his brothers and cousins are on the board. He totally ignored and blindsided the public of the corruption which is practiced in the board. This board has not had an election or financial reports to the musicians for at least 15 years. Including everytime someone calls their office for a band the board only hires themselves. We can not teach this poison to the youth! You guys are elders and suppose to correct us from these bad choices.
