    How ANCSA reinforces, and clashes, with subsistence traditions
    Feb 28 2022
    With guests Pete Schaeffer of the Native Village of Kotzebue and Mike Miller of the Sitka Tribe of Alaska, we examine ANCSA's intersection with Indigenous subsistence traditions. With guest host Aaron Leggett, we explore how the natural resource development encouraged by ANCSA can sometimes conflict with subsistence harvests and land stewardship, and other times enhance them.

    The generations ANCSA left out
    Feb 28 2022
    With guest Andrea Gusty of The Kuskokwim Corp., we investigate a polarizing element of the original settlement: how Indigenous Alaskans born after ANCSA's effective date in the 1970s were left out of the governance, and profits, of the Native corporations created by the settlement. With guest host Meghan Sullivan of Indian Country Today.

    What about the tribes?
    Feb 28 2022
    With guest Natasha Singh, an attorney and tribal advocate, we explore the void that ANCSA left when it comes to the role of tribal governments in Alaska. We talk about how Native corporations can sometimes conflict with tribes that represent the same Native people, and the potential for those groups to collaborate more closely in the future.
