Native Alaskan Corporations and tribal councils should pay for teachers to teach in rural Alaska

Since we have a problem keeping teachers to teach in rural Alaska.  Why not the Alaskan Native Corporation and village tribal councils pay upcoming teachers during college in a form of a scholarship.  Applicants must maintain a B average and they must agree to teach in an Alaskan village for five years after graduation.  This also makes it so that Alaskan native village like Akhiok make an investment in the community.  Another idea is to allow the Alaska Board of Education not to require a teacher certificate to teach in a rural Alaska school allow elders to teach the kids this will allow the Alaska natives to pass down their traditions to the Alaska native youth.
