Under rule 4(g) of the Committee rules, any oral opening statements are limited to the Chairman and Ranking Mi- nority Member, and other statements of Members can be included in the record under unanimous consent. H.R. 2547 fulfills the purpose, promise and intent of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act for a group of Alaska Natives in the Chugach region. They are represented by the Chugach Alaska Cor- poration, the vehicle that manages the lands transferred to native ownership under the settlement Act. I always feel a little awkward saying these lands were trans- ferred to the Natives when, in fact, the lands were theirs to begin with. The legislation is divided into three titles. Title I fully and finally eliminates the terms of a 1982 agreement between the United States and the Chugach Native people which the government promised, but has failed to grant, an easement providing access to property they own called the Carbon Mountain tract. This agree- ment in turn was supposed to implement the 1971 Native Claims Act. Title II fulfills the intent of the Congress that Chugach receive possession of historical sites and cemeteries within its Native re- gion. These sites have been the target of a zealous Trustee Council on a land-buying spree. And title III requires the government to coordinate the forest land management plan with Native corporations whose lands are intermingled with national forest lands. Twenty-eight years ago Congress extinguished the land claims of Alaska Natives. This cleared title to millions of acres of public land in Alaska and enabled the government to effect the d(2) with- drawals, which then led to all the future parks, wildlife refuges and wilderness areas. But the purpose of the Native Claims Act was not to turn Alaska into a national park, it was meant to return a fraction of the lands the Federal Government took from our first Americans. However, in the Chugach region, the Native people have not ob- tained what was promised. They were promised access to their Car- bon Mountain lands, fee ownership of historic cemetery sites, and maximum participation in the management of public land that af- fects them, but these promises were either broken or left to wither.

That’s something my mom neve r taught me, was the Eyak language. It is altogether different than the Aleut. There are so few of us left that they have to do a book about the Eyak Tribe. There are so many things that my mother taught me, like smoking fish, putting up berries, and how to keep our wild meat. I have to show you; I can’t tell you how it is done, but anything you want to know I’ll tell you about the Eyak tribe.” - Rosie Lankard, 1980i Grade Level: 9-12 Overview: Heritage preservation requires both active participation and awareness of cultural origins. The assaults upon Eyak culture and loss of fluent Native speakers in the recent past have made the preservation of Eyak heritage even more challenging. Here students actively investigate and discuss Eyak history and culture to inspire their production of culturally insightful podcasts.

  • Alaska OCS Socioeconomic Studies Program
    Technical Report Number 36 Alaska OCS Socioeconomic Studies Program Sponsor: Bureau of Land Management Alaska Outer Northern Gulf of Alaska Petroleum Development Scenarios Sociocultural Impacts The United States Department of the Interior was designated by the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Lands Act of 1953 to carry out the majority of the Act’s provisions for administering the mineral leasing and develop- ment of offshore areas of the United States under federal jurisdiction. Within the Department, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has the responsibility to meet requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) as well as other legislation and regulations dealing with the effects of offshore development. In Alaska, unique cultural differences and climatic conditions create a need for developing addi- tional socioeconomic and environmental information to improve OCS deci- sion making at all governmental levels. In fulfillment of its federal responsibilities and with an awareness of these additional information needs, the BLM has initiated several investigative programs, one of which is the Alaska OCS Socioeconomic Studies Program (SESP). The Alaska OCS Socioeconomic Studies Program is a multi-year research effort which attempts to predict and evaluate the effects of Alaska OCS Petroleum Development upon the physical, social, and economic environ- ments within the state. The overall methodology is divided into three broad research components. The first component identifies an alterna- tive set of assumptions regarding the location, the nature, and the timing of future petroleum events and related activities. In this component, the program takes into account the particular needs of the petroleum industry and projects the human, technological, economic, and environmental offshore and onshore development requirements of the regional petroleum industry.

  • Eyak Hellos Gr: Prek-2 (Lesson 1)
    HONORING EYAK: EYAK HELLOS GR: PREK-2 (LESSON 1) Elder Quote: “The Eyak came from far upriver, in boats made of something like cottonwood. They came down the Copper River...When they felt like it they would go to the mouth of the river, to the breakers, to get seals. Over where they had come down the river there are no seals. Nor are there many salmon that swim up that far. When they came down they found out about all these things. They saw seals, ripe salmon, cockles, eggs, birds, geese, mallards.” - Anna Nelson Harryi Grade Level: PreK-2 Overview: Approximately 3,000 years ago, the ancestors of the Eyak people separated from the early Athabaskan people. They traveled south to the Copper River Delta from Alaska’s interior and discovered the rich marine resources of the delta land with salmon and seals in great abundance. Isolated by numerous glaciers and the rugged Chugach Mountains, the Eyak people developed a distinctive culture and unique language.

  • Alaska Native
    To conduct a simple search of the many GENERAL records of Alaska’ Native People in the National Archives Online Catalog use the search term Alaska Native. To search specific areas or villages see indexes and information below. Alaska Native Villages by Name A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Alaska is home to 229 federally recognized Alaska Native Villages located across a wide geographic area, whose records are as diverse as the people themselves. Customs, culture, artwork, and native language often differ dramatically from one community to another. Some are nestled within large communities while others are small and remote. Some are urbanized while others practice subsistence living. Still, there are fundamental relationships that have endured for thousands of years. One approach to understanding links between Alaska Native communities is to group them by language. This helps the student or researcher to locate related communities in a way not possible by other means. It also helps to define geographic areas in the huge expanse that is Alaska.
