The @NYTimes is at it again, purposefully canceling the voices of the Alaska Native people in their latest biased reporting on the Willow Project. Shameful.
@nytimes@Rep_Peltola@VOICE_Arctic@NativeFed Alaska Native Village Corporation Association (ANVCA), representing congressionally-mandated Alaska Native village corps statewide—strongly supports Willow, not quoted by @NYtimes.
@nytimes@Rep_Peltola@VOICE_Arctic@NativeFed ANCSA Regional Association, representing 12 congressionally-mandated land-based regional corps owned by 140,000 Alaska Native shareholders—strongly supports Willow, not quoted by @NYTimes.
@nytimes@Rep_Peltola@VOICE_Arctic@NativeFed Arctic Slope Regional Corporation (ASRC_AK), congressionally-mandated Alaska Native corp. representing 13,000 Iñupiat shareholders and the 8 villages of the region—strongly supports Willow, not quoted by @NYTimes.
Asisaun Toovak & Chester Ekak, Iñupiat mayors of Utqiagvik and Wainwright—strongly support Willow, not quoted by @NYTimes. adn.com/opinions/2023/…
@nytimes Doreen Fogg-Leavitt, director of natural resources for the Iñupiat Community of the Arctic Slope (ICAS)—strongly supports Willow, not quoted by @NYTimes.
@nytimes Kuukpik, congressionally-mandated Native Village Corp for community of Nuiqsut and representing 600 Alaska Native shareholders—strongly supports Willow, not quoted by @NYTimes.
Alaska Natives have consistently raised their voices in support of the Willow Project.
But @NYTimes & the mainstream media have consistently canceled them—eco-colonialism at its worst.

Like all Alaskans, I appreciate and am proud of the professional work of our Alaska-based military. Today’s shoot-down of another unidentified object over Alaska takes skill, precision, discipline and proficiency. (1/8)
These exceptional Americans have been working overtime on this challenge, including not just tracking and intercepting this latest incursion, but the Chinese spy balloon from last week, and several other unidentified flying objects over Alaska in the past few weeks. (2/8)
I appreciated the senior Defense Department officials who briefed me this morning on the sighting of this latest object. (3/8)
