Alaska Native Claims – Mining in Alaska 50 years after ANCSA

2021 marks the 50th anniversary of the passage of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act, or ANCSA, a milestone settlement that is considered both a cultural and business success for the more than 140,000 Alaska Natives and an economic boon for the state that covers the resource-rich lands these industrious and innovative peoples have called home for millennia. Alaska Native Claims is a unique magazine that investigates what ANCSA has meant for the development of Alaska's rich mineral potential over the past 50 years and into the future. On this Golden Anniversary, Alaska Native Claims delves into the first 50 years of ANCSA from a mining perspective – providing in-depth insights into each of the land-holding Regional corporations and Village corporations within them; traditions and values of the First People from each region; the mining lands that owned by ANCSA Regional and/or Village corporations; and the services Alaska Native-owned companies offer to the mining sector. Special Guest Willie L. Iggiagruk Hensley, an Inupiat from Northwest Alaska and key figure behind the Alaska Native movement that led to the passage of ANCSA, offers first-hand insight into the years leading up to and immediately following this landmark settlement of Alaska Native Claims. Alaska Native Claims offers a deeper understanding of ANCSA and serves as a guide to mining companies seeking to do business within the 12 ANCSA regions – together known as Alaska.
