These areas are eligible: Alaska, the Russian provinces of Magadan and Yamal; the Sami people of Sweden, Norway and Finland; and the Canadian provinces of Northern Alberta, Nunavut, Nunavik-Quebec, Northwest Territories and the Yukon. I know you don't have many NWTers (I think I am the only one) but awhile back there was a few Alaskans. Sher My website
