Okay, now
it's time for a change in viewpoint. The people you will represent at the
Policy Symposium are Native Elders and younger
Alaska Natives who have lived in the area all of their lives, using the land in
many different ways; and, Euro-Americans, some born in Alaska, some who have
moved there and many who have worked within Gates of the Arctic and for the
Park Service.
Some of the
people are students, teachers, park administrators, miners, hunters or guides.
All of the people have different viewpoints and understandings when they hear
the word "wilderness." You will learn about their lives in the past and in the
present. You will try to understand what the land means to them so your
recommendation in the symposium takes their ideas and needs into
consideration.
Changing
your viewpoint is as easy as
