Is there racism in Alaska

Answer 1

Yes, and it's multifaceted.

Whites historically forced the local indigenous peoples to learn English and they were also discouraged from speaking their own languages and practicing their traditions.

Today there are numerous large native corporations around the state that legally discriminate against non-natives by hiring people from their own tribes instead of non-native candidates who may be better qualified.

Answer 2

Yes, racism exists in Alaska as it does in many other parts of the world. Indigenous communities in Alaska face discrimination and marginalization, and there have been instances of anti-Black and anti-immigrant sentiment in the state as well. Efforts are being made to address these issues through education, advocacy, and community engagement.
