“The only sure bulwark of continuing liberty is a government strong enough to protect the interests of its people, and a people strong enough and well enough informed to maintain its sovereign control over its government.”— Fireside Chat April 14, 1938 Franklin Delano Roosevelt

An Informed Public The role of a university is to support education and foster contin- ued learning in as many innovative areas as possible. The University if Alaska Fairbanks has been a longtime member of the Alaska Pub- lic Radio Network, which has broadcast many programs dealing with relevant issues. “Talk of Alaska” and “Alaska News Nightly” are among the many programs from KUAC listener supported public radio. Why should Nomeites care about a Fairbanks radio station? Well, KUAC is broadcast via a repeater in Nome at 91.3 on the FM dial. The loss of these APRN informative programs is due to legislative cuts of $15 million to the Universityʼs budget. In order to compensate for this loss the University had to slice $170,000 for KUACʼs membership in the Alaska Public Radio Network. In doing so it silenced a news ex- change from 25 member stations throughout Alaska. Of course this public information could be restored if the Alaska Leg- islature would fund the $15 million to the University budget gap.

Reindeer and caribou are the same species with subtle differences. Reindeer are shorter, semi tamed animals that are private property.

Caribou are big game animals with hunting seasons established by Alaska Department of Fish and game (ADFG). The caribou hunting season & bag limits are complex, please refer to the hunting regulations or ADFG for details.

Reindeer are privately owned livestock protected by the 1937 Reindeer Act. Reindeer hunting is prohibited. If you accidentally kill a reindeer, please contact the herd owner or call Kawerak Reindeer Herders Association (RHA).

For more information regarding caribou, contact the ADFG, Nome office 907-443-2825. For more information regarding reindeer, contact the RHA office at 907-443-4378.
