The Village is a Daily News blog about life and politics in rural Alaska. Its main author is ADN reporter Kyle Hopkins. Come here for breaking news on village issues, plus interviews, videos and photos. But that's just part of the story. We want to feature your pictures, videos and stories, too. Think of The Village as your bulletin board. E-mail us anything you’d like to share with the rest of Alaska -- your letters to the editor, the photos of your latest hunt or video of your latest potlatch. (We love video.)

I was born in Sitka, have lived in Kake, Skagway and Fairbanks and joined the ADN in 2005 after writing for the Anchorage Press and Fairbanks Daily News-Miner. I started blogging for the paper in 2006 with The Trail, our blog about the governor's race. Then came the Alaska Politics blog. Now I'm covering government and rural affairs and live in Anchorage with my wife, Rebecca. (Update: Our daughter Alice was born May 31. Thanks everyone for the suggestions.)

'A nation-to-nation relationship'

A little follow-up today from the feds on President Obama's Nov. 5 meeting with tribal leaders ...
The Interior Department says it's working on a department-wide "tribal consultation" policy, which is something Obama called for at the meeting. All federal departments and agencies are to draw up plans for getting more input from tribes.
To that end, the department will hold a series of tribal consultation meetings around the country. The first is in Anchorage: 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. next Wednesday at the Egan Convention Center.
“President Obama respects the inherent sovereignty of Indian nations and believes that the federal government must honor its commitments to American Indian and Alaska Native communities,” Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar said in the announcement. “The President's Executive Order on consultation recognizes that the federal government has a responsibility to uphold not just a government-to-government relationship with tribes, but a nation-to-nation relationship."
