Starving Freezing and JUDGED

There was a crisis in Alaska this week. People in rural villages were having to choose between heat or food after their King Salmon catch was limited, an early freeze and home heating oil costs rising to nearly $11 a gallon. The Alaskan government wasn’t stepping up to the plate so the bloggers kicked into action and helped out, people from all over America sent cash.
A Native Alaskan woman blogger, Writing Raven, posted yesterday, grateful for the help that came and addressing the blame the victim, native bashing that has come with it.
