"Relating to Take a Young Person Hunting Week."

Hunting is part of our Alaskan lifestyle and heritage. It is important to pass this tradition on to our children. Hunting Education is essential for today's youth. They need to be knowledgeable of wildlife management, gun safety and hunting ethics.

Historically, Alaskans have lived off the land while learning to wisely manage our wildlife resources. The opportunity to influence our young people through one-on-one mentorship needs to be encouraged through resolutions such as "Take a Young Person Hunting Week."

This resolution recognizes the significance that mentorship has for young people. I believe we need to send a message that our constitutional rights are an important legacy that should be passed down to our youth.
