Justifying Public Decisions in Arctic Oil and Gas Development
Government resource decisions in the Arctic typically involve complex issues; multiple criteria are used to choose among alternatives. This complexity is even greater with petroleum development because of concerns about national energy security, environmental impacts, and economic development. Two decision-aiding techniques may help decision makers clarify their decisions to themselves, the stakeholders, and the general public. The Russian qualit…

Complexity and uncertainty in arctic resource decisions
This paper describes how a qualitative form of analysis, developed by Russian decision scientists, was used to assist Russian governmental organizations in deciding whether to route a gas pipeline over land or under sea on the Yamal Peninsula in Siberia. Complexity was reduced, and uncertainty translated into cost, through the development of superior alternative options. The analysis suggests, more generally, that Arctic resource decisions can be…
The Alaska Native Corporation as Conglomerate
In the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA) of 1971, Congress used corporations as the institutional vehicle. These corporations have had persistent problems in generating profits. These problems may result in Native Alaskans losing control of both the corporations and the land that they received in the settlement. The profitability problems stem in part from the conglomerate-style business strategy that the corporations pursued. Conglomer…

The original Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act, passed in 1971, gave Alaska Native corporations fee simple title to 18 million hectares of Alaskan land. Within a few years of its passage, however, Alaska Natives grew concerned that this land would be lost through mismanagement of the corporations or forced into development by property taxation. Because large numbers of Alaska Natives depend upon subsistence hunting and fishing, the loss of the …

Tuberculosis in Western Alaska, 1900–1950
Tuberculosis was the major cause of death among Alaska Native peoples during the first half of the twentieth century, with a crude death rate estimated at 810 per 100,000. Apart from a few medical articles, not much is known of the impact of the disease on the people. This paper reviews published articles, unpublished reports by government teachers, hospital records and other materials for several Native villages in western Alaska from the period…
