Also for the first time in 1972, the Park Service required that visitors have advance reservations for campsites in the five campgrounds located well inside the Park.To help evaluate the impact of these new regulations, the Par…
Notes on Alaskan Native electoral politics
Electoral politics is to politics as university education is to education; a highly visible, formal, and ritualistic process, the function of which is as much symbolic as it is substantial. In Alaska as elsewhere, and for Natives as for other groups, electoral politics is only one dimension of an elaborate wideranging political process. The matter of aboriginal land claims, for example, dominated Alaskan Native politics through the 1960's, but th…

These villagers, who are fully conversant in the English language and who have had, relative to other village members, broad acculturation experience…
Native Voting in Village Alaska

Election results from every precinct corresponding to a community identified by the Federal Field Committee for Development Planning in Alaska as "predominantly Native" were recorded on IBM cards. ... It should be noted that the resultant data pertain only to rural Native electoral behaviour. .... The Federal Field Co…
The Hanseatic League in Historical Interpretation

Rural Alaska's development problem
Economic development programmes in rural Alaska face barriers created by ethnic and cultural variations from the standards of urban, industrialized Western society and by the virtual absence among the native population of the local capital and technical capabilities that are needed to achieve economic self-sufficiency. In addition, public and private agencies inevitably assume a dominant role, with respect to the local population, when they inves…
