The Trump administration is moving to sell off the Arctic Refuge—1.56 million acres of sacred land and pristine wilderness. This is an assault on wildlife, the climate, and the indigenous tribes who call the refuge home, including the Gwich’in & Iñupiat people. We must defend it—now.

Of all the things to care about this bitch doing, I don't think we need to criticize a tax break for subsistence hunters.
These are indigenous people hunting for survival, this is not for profit. The Iñupiat people shouldn't have to pay taxes anyways.
