"This is a brief but thorough overview of ANCSA by the former Chief Counsel of the U.S. Senate Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs. It clearly delineates the basic provisions of the Acts, and predicts its economic, social and political efforts, and its impact on natural resources development and environmental protection. A sketch of the historical background of the Act and an explanation of each of the provisions of the Act completes this treatment."1
"The author concentrates on the struggle for control and development of all Alaska lands as a result of passage of ANCSA. Notes major historical points and dates leading up the settlement and subsequent actions by federal and state governments which will effect development in Alaska in the future."2
