Grade Level(s): 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12

Theme(s): ANCSA

Category: General ANCSA
One of a series of short booklets on ANCSA. Napoleon summarizes five Alaskan political interest groups and their roles in the passage of ANCSA: the State of Alaska, the federal government, the urban population, industry, and rural Alaska Natives. In his words, ANCSA "...is not the answer to problems faced by the Alaska Natives...but another political asset they have in trying to solve their problems." Napolean discusses Alaska Native political resources in terms of how these resources can contribute to self-determination for Native people. Select terms are defined and a class project is suggested. Other booklets in the series: Stock, Corporations, and the Native Land Claims Settlement; Environmental Issues in the Land Claims; New Tribes for New Times; The Politics of Passage; Village Alaska; Future Land Use Planning Alternatives for Alaska; and Planning How to Use Land in Village Alaska.
