ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The Northern Justice SocietyBoard of Directors would like to recognize and express its gratitude to the many individuals and organizations that contributed ideas and resources to the Fifth Northern Conference held in Sitka, Alaska in April 1991. In the workshops, short courses, and special presentations held throughout the week, participants from Canada, Alaska, and Greenland shared their experiences, expertise, and creativity and provided the materials ,hat have been included in this edited volume. The success of the program was due in large measure to the ongoing support of the Department of Justice, Canada, specifically that of Mr Dan Prefontaine, Assistant Deputy Minister, Policy and Planning. Special thanks goes also to the Ministry of Solicitor General, Canada, for its ongoing involvement and counsel through Daryl Webber, Senior Policy Analyst. In addition, the strong participation by individuals from First Nations and provincial, federal, and territorial agencies and communities has ensured that the very best in new research and initiatives in northern justice programming are presented at the Northern Conference and presented inits publication. Finally, a debt of gratitude is owed to the School of Criminology and to Continuing Studies at Simon Fraser University for continuing to provide an educational base for The Northern Justice SocietyTm . The Board of Directors of The Northern Justice SocietyTM has designed this publication to be of use to all those involved in the development and delivery of justice services in northern and rural areas of Canada, Alaska, and Greenland and it is to their tireless efforts that this volume is dedicated. Margit Nance Director, Public Policy Programs Continuing Studies Simon Fraser University and Executive Director The Northern Justice SocietyTM PREFACE As indigenous peoples in the northern and rural areas of Canada and the circumpolar north move ever closer to self-government and sovereignty, self- sufficiency in the realm of criminal justice assumes paramount importance. This resource publication is based on the materials presented in workshops and short courses during the fifth meeting of The Northern Justice Society"' held in Sitka, Alaska, April 1991. The meetings, the first ever of The Northern Justice Society to be held in the state of Alaska, brought together a wide range of participants from Canada, Greenland, and Alaska to consider initiatives designed to improve the delivery of justice services to aboriginal peoples. The underlying theme of the discussions was the potential of self- sufficiency in the justice area and the strategies which both personnel working in the criminal justice system and indigenous communities, organizations, and individuals can use to facilitate this process. While space limitations have necessitated the editing of large amounts of materials and ideas presented in Sitka, it is hoped that both the spirit and the substance of the discussions which took place have been retained in this volume. Following some of the sections, there is a listing of selected resource readings related to the topics discussed. All of these materials are available from The Northern Justice SocietyResource Centre, located in the School of Criminology at Simon Fraser University. Readers of this volume are urged to make use of the extensive collection of published and limited-distribution materials relating to northern and indigenous justice issues which are housed in the Resource Centre and which are also accessible to northern communities and agencies by computer link. Please note that the opinions and ideas expressed by the participants who appear in this resource publication are their own and do not necessarily represent the policies and position of The Northern Justice SocietyThi, its Board of Directors, or the agencies and organizations with which the individuals on the Board of Directors are affiliated. Curt Taylor Griffiths, PhD Professor and Director The Northern Justice SocietyTh Resource Centre Simon Fraser University V 6 ABOUT THE NORTHERN JUSTICE SOCIETYTm The Northern Justice SocietyTM (previously The Northern ConferenceTm), is an education and information network for individuals and organizations involved in the delivery of justice services across the north. The Society was established on one key premise: that those directly affected by the administration of justice in the north must be directly involved in practicable policies that can bring about effective solutions to the particular justice and social problems in their communities. In the broadest terms, the society serves northerners, and Native northerners in particular, in Canada, Alaska, and Greenland. More specifically, the society seeks to foster communication and understanding amongst professionals, paraprofessionals, community groups, and community representatives who share a concern for developing and enhancing community-based justice services and for increasing the responsiveness and relevance of existing services.

(http://hdl.handle.net/11122/9751). Summary This paper traces the history of the bush justice system in rural Alaska, describes the relationship between traditional Alaska Native dispute resolution mechanisms and the state criminal justice system, and analyzes bush justice research between 1970 and 1981 and its effects on state agency policies and changes in the rural justice system. Innovations by researchers were well-received by villagers and field-level professionals, but not by agency policymakers. Hence, most reforms made in the 1970s had vanished by the early 1980s.

It comprises annotated references on Eskimos in Alaska. A forthcoming bibliography in this series will collect and evaluate the existing literature on Southeast Alaska Tlingit and Haida groups. ISER bibliographies are compiled and written by institute members who specialize in ethnographic and social research. They are designed both to support current work at the institute and to provide research tools for others interested in Alaska ethnography. Although not exhaustive, these bibliographies indicate the best references on Alaska Native groups and describe the general nature of the works. Lee Gorsuch Director, ISER December 1977 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS A number of people are always involved in such an undertaking as this. Particularly, we wish to thank Carol Berg, Librarian at the Elmer E. Rasmussen Library, University of Alaska, whose assistance was invaluable in obtaining through interlibrary loans, many of the articles and books annotated in this bibliography. Peggy Raybeck and Ronald Crowe had general responsibility for editing and preparing the manuscript for publication, with editorial and production assistance provided by Susan Woods and Kandy Crowe.
