No, to my knowledge no Alaskan tribes support drilling in ANWR. The Alaskan Inter Tribal Council is made up of over the 200 tribes that live in Alaska, and as an organization they condemn drilling in the refuge. Many of the tribes who live there depend on the caribou as a diet staple. The drilling and pipelines would disrupt the caribou herd routes and many of the tribes would feel an immediate, horrible impact in their food source. In addition, there are always concerns about possible oil spills and the damage the actual derricks will do the tundra. Despite claims that drilling would only be in a "small part" of ANWR, the ecosystem could have terrible reprecussions.
