King cove is almost 50% ethnically native, not to mention the rest of whom have have that as their home regardless of the home of their ancestors. Considering that and their historical ties to the land, I'd say they have a little more say than the average lower 48er.

This reads like imperialism. Do you think Alaskans should be able to have a say in whether land is developed or improved adjacent to where you live, say, in Alabama? Wouldn't make much sense to me..

The Alaskan wilderness first and foremost belongs to the people who have been living as part of it for generations. They are in a much better position to balance wilderness preservation v. the needs of human habitation than you or I. We are welcome to visit, but they are the ones calling it home - and have far more of a vested interest in preserving and stewarding it than we do.
