Book Synopsis Alaska Native Cultures and Issues by : Libby Roderick
Download or read book Alaska Native Cultures and Issues written by Libby Roderick and published by University of Alaska Press. This book was released on 2010-07-15 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Making up more than ten percent of Alaska's population, Native Alaskans are the state's largest minority group. Yet most non-Native Alaskans know surprisingly little about the histories and cultures of their indigenous neighbors, or about the important issues they face. This concise book compiles frequently asked questions and provides informative and accessible responses that shed light on some common misconceptions. With responses composed by scholars within the represented communities and reviewed by a panel of experts, this easy-to-read compendium aims to facilitate a deeper exploration and richer discussion of the complex and compelling issues that are part of Alaska Native life today.

Download or read book Changing Numbers, Changing Needs written by Committee on Population and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1996-09-25 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The reported population of American Indians and Alaska Natives has grown rapidly over the past 20 years. These changes raise questions for the Indian Health Service and other agencies responsible for serving the American Indian population. How big is the population? What are its health care and insurance needs? This volume presents an up-to-date summary of what is known about the demography of American Indian and Alaska Native population--their age and geographic distributions, household structure, employment, and disability and disease patterns. This information is critical for health care planners who must determine the eligible population for Indian health services and the costs of providing them. The volume will also be of interest to researchers and policymakers concerned about the future characteristics and needs of the American Indian population.

Book Synopsis Regional Alaska Native Corporations by : U.s. Government Accountability Office
Download or read book Regional Alaska Native Corporations written by U.s. Government Accountability Office and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-08-03 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " In 1971, the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act was enacted to resolve long-standing aboriginal land claims and to foster economic development for Alaska Natives. This federal law directed that corporations be created under Alaska state law, which were to be the vehicles for distributing the settlement. As directed by the act, 12 for-profit regional corporations were established, representing geographical regions in the state. Later, a 13th regional corporation was formed to represent Alaska Natives residing outside of Alaska. Eligible Alaska Native applicants who were alive on December 18, 1971, became shareholders in the corporations. The Settlement Act, as amended, authorizes the corporations to provide benefits to shareholders and to other Alaska Natives. GAO was asked to review these corporations. This report examines (1) governance practices of the regional Alaska Native corporations, (2) requirements for and oversight of the corporations' financial reporting practices, (3) benefits provided by the corporations to their shareholders and other Alaska Natives, and (4) questions to consider for the future. GAO reviewed relevant federal and state laws and regulations, as well as the corporations' annual reports, proxy materials, and other documents. GAO interviewed representatives from each of the 13 regional corporations and visited seven of the Alaskan regions. GAO is making no recommendations"

Book Synopsis Alaska Native Policy in the Twentieth Century by : Ramona Ellen Skinner
Download or read book Alaska Native Policy in the Twentieth Century written by Ramona Ellen Skinner and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-01-22 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the application of federal Indian policy to Alaska Natives in the 20th century, a process driven by the federal government's desire to acquire Indian land. Twentieth century Indian policy, as applied in Alaska, has oscillated between encouraging the privatization of land and assimilation of Native Alaskans into the dominant society, and allowing for Native autonomy and self-government. The Alaska Reorganization Act of 1936, better known as the Alaska Native New Deal, promoted Native self-government through constitutions and native self-sufficiency through corporations within geographic limits of designated reservations. In Alaska, the federal government's termination policy extended state jurisdiction over Native peoples after World War Two. A new policy of self-determination was initiated by the passage of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act of 1971. With this act, 40 million acres were conveyed to newly created Native corporations. Alaska Natives would achieve self-determination by participation in corporate decisions. This history of the legislation and implementation of federal Indian policy in Alaska explores the tensions and reversals expressed through successive legislative acts, and focuses upon the implications of this policy for Native Alaskans.

Book Synopsis Alaska Native Women by : Michelle Demmert
Download or read book Alaska Native Women written by Michelle Demmert and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-06-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The AKNWRC resource book is the first written text written from the perspective of Alaska Natives to explain the violence against our women due to the legal vulnerabilities forced upon Alaska Indigenous Nations. The book provides an Alaska Native view of domestic violence beyond individual acts of violence. It provides the context of why individual violence occurs at the disproportionate rates committed against Alaska Native women and continues generation after generation since contact. The book provides a path forward to support and heal from the violence by understanding how the current crisis of violence grew over time due to systemic barriers and lack of protection of Native women from domestic and other forms of violence. A story is shaped and presented by the storyteller. In this way, the story of violence against Alaska Native women remains untold because the storytellers told the view of colonization. The new AKNWRC book brings a new voice providing an Indigenous understanding of violence against Alaska Native women. After decades of advocating for survivors, the board and staff members of the Alaska Native Women's Resource Center understand domestic violence and the sacred status of Alaska Native women to our Indigenous Nations. We link the ongoing crisis of violence to its origins within our Nations-colonization of the Indigenous peoples of Alaska. This story is generally missing in the Western literature and perspective of violence against women but is increasingly presented by Indigenous women and peoples around the world and at the United Nations. Violence is not traditional, and women were respected in their nations. The safety and well-being of women were safeguarded by their status and today our culture continues, despite colonization, to be protective factors. The title of AKNWRC's new book is a political statement and provides direction to our movement in making the legal and policy reforms needed. We see ending the violence against Alaska Native Women organically linked to restoring the sacred status of women held within sovereign Indigenous nations. The new AKNWRC resource book is written to support tribal leaders, advocates, and survivors in understanding the path forward to create the changes needed to end domestic and sexual violence. "Our movement is like a seed that has grown. I know if we organize ourselves as Alaska Natives, we can end the violence in our villages."-Joann Horn, Director, Emmonak Women's Shelter "Our villages can and have for centuries taken responsibility and now is the time to let us do so again. The federal and state governments need to recognize their old laws of the past need to be changed so villages can do so again."-Dr. Michael Williams Sr., long-time Tribal Leader, and Advocate, Akiak Native Community Development of the Book: The AKNWRC launched the book project in 2018 with the goal of telling the story of violence against women from the view of Alaska Native women, advocates, tribal leaders, and our communities. The outline and various chapters were provided as supportive resource materials during numerous AKNWRC hosted roundtable discussions, tribal court symposiums, village engagement sessions, and tribal coalition meetings. The pages carry the voices of these partners and community members. AKNWRC's national partners-the National Indigenous Women's Resource Center and Indian Law Resource Center-were involved in its development. The principal authors of the book are AKNWRC staff members Michelle Demmert, Debra O'Gara, Tami Truett Jerue, and Jacqueline Agtuca.

Book Synopsis Changes in Traditional Gender Roles for Alaska Natives by : Eleanor Kyle Wirts
Download or read book Changes in Traditional Gender Roles for Alaska Natives written by Eleanor Kyle Wirts and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the past century, especially since the 1960s, Alaska Natives have faced rapid cultural and socio-economic change as Western influences have increasingly infiltrated the Native life-ways; since the 1960s social problems, including alcohol abuse, violence, and suicide have plagued Native individuals, families and communities. Arguably, a source of these social problems is the striking shift from clearly defined gender roles for Native adults that guided youth to adulthood in the past to opaque and ambiguous roles for adults that draw on both traditional and Western cultures. Historically, clearly defined gender roles provided youth with the role models necessary for maturing into healthy, productive adults and thereby offered youth a sense of purpose, direction and identity. Today's youth must look for cues in both traditional and Western culture to envision their futures, and with often conflicting value systems and too few strong adult role models to follow, many youth, especially males, are floundering. Healthy adult and elder role models are essential to the well-being of Native youth as they mature into adulthood. The revitalization of mentors, role models and close relationships between adults and youth are critical to future health and well-being of Alaska Native individuals, families and communities"--Leaf iii.
