Alaska Natives celebrated the Department of the Interior’s (DOI) decision to reinstate oil drilling in areas that the Biden administration had previously moved to shut down.

Drilling activity is again open for development on the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska ( NPR-A ) and the Arctic Wildlife National Refuge's (ANWR) Coastal Plain .

The previous administration claimed to be the “most tribally friendly administration in the history of the United States ,” though the native communities in the North Slope of Alaska “didn’t get that sentiment whatsoever”.

Alaska Rep. Nick Begich said the Department of Interior ’s decision to reinstate leases will “benefit Alaska Native communities across the state and every household and business that relies on reliable energy.” Begich: “The road to American energy dominance begins in Alaska , and I will continue working alongside the Trump Administration to ensure Alaskans are not just heard but are leading the way.
