Will the new AK subsistence board changes impact sheep hunting?

[CJ19]

i see a new rule has come down that will increase size of AK subsistence boards by 3 members. If i understand this rule correctly this is a move to ensure more equity for AK natives and requires the 3 new board members are tribal members or tribally recommended.

Can some folks with more AK knowledge weigh in if this is likely to take more sheep hunting opportunity on public lands off the table for non subsistence users?

Based on the amount of tribal land that is off limits to even non tribal members, unfortunately your assumptions about its implications are probably correct.
