Tribal Sovereignty in Alaska How It Happened,
What It Means
Tribal Sovereignty in Alaska is the first
comprehensive history of the Alaska Native tribal
sovereignty movement. In 1932, Secretary of the
Interior Ray Lyman Wilbur explained that the
United States has had no treaty relations with
any of the aborigines of Alaska nor have they
been recognized as the independent tribes with a
government of their own. The individual native
has always and everywhere in Alaska been subject
to the white man's law, both Federal and
territorial, civil and criminal.As a continuation
of that policy, in 1971 when Congress settled
Alaska Native land claims by enacting the Alaska
Native Claims Settlement Act, at the request of
Native leaders, it required Alaska Natives
to incorporate business corporations under the
laws of the State of Alaska that then were
conveyed land in fee title. But today the
Secretary of the Interior and those same Native
leaders are adamant that there are more than two
hundred federally-recognized tribes in Alaska
whose Alaska Native members are sovereign and
whose governing bodies possess inherent
governmental authority. Tribal Sovereignty in
Alaska tells the story of that dramatic reversal
of federal Indian policy in exhaustively
researched detail.
