“We applaud the court’s decision, which upholds both the 2017 Tax Cuts and Job Act, and overwhelming support from our community for development opportunities on the Coastal Plain,” said Kaktovik Iñupiat Corporation President Charles Lampe. “As the only community within AN- WR’s 19-million-acre boundaries, we have fought for years for our right to self-determination and local economic development in our Indigenous home- lands. The decision suggests our commu- nity’s voice is finally being heard.” “Voice of the Arctic Iñupiat (VOICE) membership, which includes the elect- ed leadership of Kaktovik and Atqasuk, which is located within the NPR-A, were unified in opposition to the Biden Ad- ministration’s decisions to take action on our homelands without meaningful en- gagement and consultation.” The court’s decision expands oppor- tunities for development on the North Slope in support of unleashing Iñupiaq self-determination, he said.
