PUB TYPE Information Analyses (070) Reports Evaluative (142) EDRS PRICE EDRS Price MF01/PC03 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Academic Achievement; *Alaska Natives; American Indian Education; *Educational Needs; Elementary Secondary Education; *Equal Education; *Equal Opportunities (Jobs); Government Role; Indigenous Personnel; Justice; Law Enforcement; *Racial Discrimination; *Rural Urban Differences; Self Determination; Trust Responsibility (Government) IDENTIFIERS *Alaska; State Tribal Relationship; Subsistence Lifestyle ABSTRACT In response to an incident in which White teenagers shot Alaska Natives with frozen paintballs, the Alaska State Advisory Committee (SAC) to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights hosted a 2-day community forum in Anchorage. The forum solicited input about improving race relations from state, local, and federal officials, representatives of advocacy groups and community organizations, and Alaska residents, and focused on education, employment, and the administration of justice. The SAC also obtained input specifically from Alaska Natives in a day-long session at the annual Conference of the Alaska Federation of Natives. Civil rights issues unique to Alaska include an urban/rural divide, with residents of remote rural villages (predominantly Native Alaskans) often receiving inferior state and federal services, if any at all; rural subsistence lifestyles based on access to natural resources; and local control of natural resources through tribal self-governance. A chapter on educational issues covers racial disparities in achievement, lack of teacher diversity and cultural integration, and inadequate funding for rural schools.

Box 196650 Municipality Anchorage, Alaska 99519-6650 Telephone: (907) 343-4431 Fax: (907) 343-4499 of http://www.ci.anchorage.ak.us Anchorage Rick Mystrom, Mayor OFFICE OF THE MAYOR December 17, 1999 Dear Residents of Anchorage: Enclosed is the approved 2000 General Government Operating Budget I am pleased to report that the 2000 budget calls for no increase in property taxes for Municipal services on 1999 existing property if there are no further cuts in State revenues during the 2000 legislative session. Should the legislature pass on further cuts to Anchorage, this will result in increased taxes. The Municipality responded to reductions to State revenues made earlier this year by eliminating a planned reduction in 1999 property taxes, saving part of the 1999 budget, and reducing the 2000 budget including the elimination of 40 permanent positions. In the 2000 budget we have added 15 new firefighters and 15 new police officers. Voter-approved debt service has increased by $3.8 million. Even with such high priority increases, the 2000 budget is $2.8 million below the 1999 budget Crime in Anchorage has continued its dramatic decline, our citywide cleanup and beautification efforts continue, the economy is growing and becoming much more diversified, and our future is healthy. We will work to continue the safer city trend by maintaining the appropriate quality and quantity of Anchorage police officers, keeping our police department connected with the community, keeping the community involved in public safety issues, and keeping up the momentum for a cleaner city.
