Despite the show's positive depiction of frontier life, the Brown family has faced controversy. In October 2016, several family members were charged with multiple counts of Permanent Fund Dividend fraud and felony theft related to claims made from 2009 to 2012, during times they allegedly were not residents of Alaska. Some charges were later resolved with plea deals, and not all members of the family were equally implicated. Snowbird herself was not individually charged in connection with the case.
Known for her authenticity and unique charm, Snowbird has cultivated a loyal fan base. As of December 2018, she had more than eleven thousand followers on Facebook, reflecting her growing popularity among viewers. Her continued presence on Alaskan Bush People has made her a recognizable figure in the realm of reality television, especially among audiences who appreciate outdoor living and off-the-grid lifestyles.
