Recognizing the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act and Its History
Please join us to learn how the Alaska Historical Society has compiled the story of the 1971 Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA) as documented in primary source documents in major archives and key published sources accessible in many of our libraries. The presentation will feature key moments in the events leading up to ANCSA, the passage of the Act, and the subsequent evolution of issues emanating from the legislation, as well as samples of the types of items to be found in the guide. The Guide also features an interpretive essay on ANCSA’s history and legacy, a timeline of key events, an annotated bibliography, a listing of the key players in the ANCSA movement, and educational resources. Join us to learn more about this key part of Alaska history.
