Alaskan Bush People is an American reality television series. The series premiered on the Discovery Channel on May 6, 2014. Filmed on location near Hoonah, Alaska and Chichagof Island, it follows the extended Brown family's life in the Alaskan wilderness.
The Brown family is introduced shortly after their home was burned down by the Alaskan authorities for being on public land. The earliest episodes show the family travelling to different areas of Alaska to build temporary shelters and establish a new homestead. Later, they establish a new community on Chichagof Island and barter their labor, wood and transportation services to achieve independent living without reliance on generator fuel for their electrical needs.
On October 3, 2014, following an investigation by the Alaska Department of Revenue, a Juneau grand jury indicted the Browns with 60 counts of first-degree unsworn falsification regarding Permanent Fund Dividend forms for their residency and first- and second-degree theft that took place between 2009 and 2012. Billy was charged with 24 of those counts, which occurred from 2010 to 2013 as well as for the theft of more than $13,000 in dividend money for himself and others. The charges meant that the state believed the family spent more than 180 days a year living outside of Alaska and lied about it on their applications. On November 18, 2015, Billy and Joshua pleaded guilty to lying on PFD forms.
