Place-Based Education - Resources for Southeast Alaska Educators

I have continuously added links, pdf's, and electronic resources over the last three years."

You’re Going To Hear About This: Frank Johnson, Louis Shotridge, and Civil Rights
by Ishmael Hope
"I wanted to share this article that I wrote. It is on Frank Johnson and Louis Shotridge, and their civil rights work protesting Coliseum Theater's No Natives Allowed admission policy in 1930 and 1931. It is a very-little known part of Alaska's history, though I am proud that Elizabeth and Roy Peratrovich's work is well documented, and some other leaders as well, such as Peter Simpson and William Paul. Frank Johnson in particular, I feel, is an unsung hero. There are hundreds of others. They are my heroes."

The Sword and the Shield
Excerpt: "The successful defense of aboriginal claims by the ANB and its allies deflected, delayed, and in some cases, defeated adverse legislation, holding the line until the national political climate became more favorable to Native Americans. As a result, Congress accepted a disclaimer section to the Alaska Statehood Act of 1958 that served to maintain rather than circumscribe aboriginal claims."
