The Alaska State Commission for Human Rights will hear a complaint regarding Juneau's Fred Meyer, which posted a sign in 2020 stating that tribal IDs would not be accepted for tobacco sales.
Another sign allegedly posted around the same time said customers would be required to show “valid identification when purchasing alcohol or tobacco.”
“He was really shook up and said that it reminded him of those days when signs were posted,” Hasselquist said. City and Borough of Juneau Assemby member ‘Wáahlaal Gíidaak Barbara Blake said that tribal IDs should be valid for any purpose that any other government-issued identification can be used for.
But Hasselquist said the store’s action caused harm to the community, so she submitted a complaint to the Alaska State Commission for Human Rights. She says she wants to make sure that Fred Meyer will offer education and training to make sure this won’t happen again.
