  Here are some comments
  from other Doyon shareholders:

 "I am a Doyon Shareholder and I support Alternative 1 because there are potential economic and environmental benefits to this trade."

 "As an Alaska resident I support the Proposed Action because this trade could lead to jobs and a better economy in our state and increases the amount of federal land ownership in the refuge. It also protects critical duck habitat and increases the potential for resource development in the flats."

 "As an Alaska Native I support Alternative 1 or the proposed Action. This is about job training and economic development potential that also allows for significant habitat protection. An agreement like this does not come along every day. This is a win / win for everybody."

 "I am a Doyon shareholder and I support this agreement because it will be good for Doyon and all Alaska Native Corporations. There are environmental benefits to this trade, there are few downsides."
