Alaskans, we stick together. If you come into our beautiful state and trash it, we will want you out ASAP. Same goes for dissing our culture, disturbing our wildlife or downplaying the significance of our traditions and livelihood. On that same note, if you respect this great land we will welcome you with open arms and treat you like family.

1. Ask us if we live in an igloo.

Go home, you're drunk.
2. Or if we have pet polar bears.

Where do people even come up with this stuff? Nuts!
3. Make a reference about how hunting is mean and cruel.

Because buying meat in the grocery store from 'who knows where' is better? Heck no! Responsible hunting is a remarkable privilege and we rely on it to survive and to feed our families.
4. Say that you think dog mushing is not humane.

Dumbest comment ever considering handlers lives generally revolve around catering to the health and wellness of their dogs. Plus, I mean, do you see how happy those dogs look? Must be the warm booties and cute jackets keeping them nice and cozy!
5. Diss the SeaWolves.

Oh no you didn't!
6. Drive way under the speed limit.
Flickr - Travis
We get it, the scenery is distracting. But pull over or speed up, two options and you MUST choose one or the other.
7. Complain about the price of living in your neck of the woods.
Flickr - Travis
I mean, $15 for a gallon of orange juice and you're complaining about WHAT? Shush!
8. Say snowmobile instead of snowmachine.
Flickr - Geoff Stevens
Slednecks unite, brah!
9. Feed us farmed salmon.
Flickr - Ann Barker
Consider yourself removed from the friend zone!
10. Recommend that we drive a Prius to reduce our carbon footprint.
Flickr - Jason Ahrns
I mean, have you even been to Alaska? We'd rather brave the storm than hide from it...
