According to the ?? Judge Pallenberg provided a couple choices for the father and son. They can go to a halfway house or be equipped with an electronic monitoring device. The final decision of which method they will have to do will be decided by the Alaska’s Department of Corrections. Although the other members of the Brown family were also charged with stealing and falsifying Alaskan residency documents, the charges against them were dropped in the plea deal. If they had gone ahead and charged the entire family, Billy’s wife Amora and four of their seven kids were facing 60 counts of first-degree unsworn falsification and first- and second-degree theft. However, they still have to pay back the money they received from the state of
Transcendent means beyond or above the range of normal or merely physical human experience. I think people would go to the Alaskan wilderness to find a deeper meaning in their life because they want to transcend into another stage in their life. The wilderness can be a great place to do that because it is isolated from society. Also you are one on one with nature and the wild is your playground. Noone is there to stop you or hold you back. All your thoughts are able to manifest freely. To reach that transcendent state requires sacrifices. Such as moving from society or your family. These things are needed because you are trying to dig deep inside yourself and while you do that you can’t be worried about the things around you. All distractions

Dustin Turner is innocent. He did not murder Jennifer Evans; however he is still serving an eighty-two year sentence in prison. Ten years more than what Billy Brown got sentenced. Turner has been locked away for half of his life. He deserves to be released. Although he waited 8 nerve-wrecking days to go to the police, he’s served his time to the system and the society to be released. Billy Brown should be the one to be sitting on death row waiting to get the chair for what he has done to Jennifer, her family, Dustin, his family, and even to his own family. Everyone is suffering from his drunken rage actions.

The crime seeks to punish all legal principals to a crime equally regardless of the role each plays in the violation of the law. For instance, a person who acts as a "lookout" during the commission of robbery or burglary is as guilty as his/her counterpart who completes the crime (Hunt and Rutledge 64). In Santa Ana, California, a man was found guilty of planting methamphetamine and weapons inside the bed of a woman's car and making false reports to the police regarding the victim’s involvement in a crime. Kevin Brown committed the crime with the help of Jenifer Beale. Each of the two accomplices was sentenced to one year and six months in county

There exists a moral conflict between the worldview of Alaska Natives and mainstream U.S. culture, in general. This moral conflict was expressed during the 1970’s by ‘Naugga Ciunerput’, a fictional character co-created by Inupiat educator, Fred Bigjim of Nome, Alaska, who wrote three letters to ‘Howard’ at the Tundra Times (Nabokov 393-396). Those letters gave voice to issues of importance to Alaskan ‘Eskimos’ (people of the arctic region) in relation to the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA), the largest land settlement claim in American history. ANCSA was designed to benefit Alaska Natives by indirectly conveying title to forty million acres of federal public land; and to benefit the United States, in general, by removing all other native claims to land, water, hunting, and fishing rights in Alaska,

American Indians and Alaskan Natives have a relationship with the federal government that is unique due to the “trust relationship” between the US and American Indians/Alaskan Natives (AI/ANs) who are entitled to health care services provided by the US government by virtue of their membership in sovereign Indian nations. In order to contextualize the complex nature of Indian health programs it is necessary to become versed in the political and legal status of Indian tribes. Through numerous constitutional, legislative, judicial, executive rulings, and orders that were largely associated with the succession of land and subsequent treaty rights; the health care of AI/ANs has been one of many responsibilities guaranteed by the federal government. The foundations of which can be traced back to the year 1787. The ceded land has been interpreted in courts to mean that healthcare and services were in a sense prepaid by AI/AN tribes and 400 million acres of land. The misconception of “free healthcare” and a conservative political disdain from so called entitlement programs have also led to misconceptions regarding the federal government’s responsibility to provide health care and services to AI/ANs. Rhoades (2000) has argued that tribal sovereignty is the overarching principle guiding Indian health care on a daily basis.1 This paper will examine the history surrounding federally mandated healthcare to AI/ANs, pertinent issues of sovereignty, as well as case studies in tribal
Most believe that Native American live deep within temperate forests, but one tribe lives within a much colder and frigid climate. This tribe is known as the Inuits. Inuit means “The Real People” (Santella 5). A group of Inuits traveled to the Americas from Asia, and they went towards the north pole. They eventually settled in the Arctic regions and began to thrive (7). They are widely dispersed throughout the Siberian, Alaskan, Canadian, and Greenland regions (6). The Inuits have an interesting history, lifestyle, and religion.
