  • = FAST FACTS = Alaska Native Perspectives on the Civil Rights Struggle
    = FAST FACTS = Alaska Native Perspectives on the Civil Rights Struggle As we engage in our research and policy work, the Alaska Native Policy Center at First Alaskans Institute sometimes collects quick information from readily available sources that others may also find useful. Although we cannot do it all the time, when we do we will share it via our website and social networks for others to access. We make no guarantees about the accuracy or currency of the information, but will make sure to include citation and important dates for others to pursue if they are interested. Framing the Topic Civil Rights are an ever advancing state of governmental understanding and practice to build equity into the systems that operate all around us and create the web of ‘civilization’ our society is supposedly built around here in the US Civil Rights on one side has to do with how the government behaves, while racial equity is about what society allows and how we behave with one another. Civil Rights then become the enforcement measure to ensure protected populations are indeed ‘protected’. o For Alaska Natives, Civil Rights have been an ever advancing work in progress and are critically linked to racial equity. While there have been advances, moving us away from very overt actions against Alaska Natives (e.g., the “No Dogs or Natives Allowed” signs, or being barred from ‘Pioneer Homes’, etc.), there have also been set-backs that continue to highlight the extreme difference in the results of government, as seen by its impacts on the various people supposedly ‘protected’ by Civil Rights and racial equality.

Download date 02/10/2021 20:55:59 Link to Item http://hdl.handle.net/11122/5825 Swensen The Relationship between Indigenous Rights, Citizenship, and Land GROWING OUR OWN: INDIGENOUS RESEARCH, SCHOLARS, AND EDUCATION Proceedings from the Alaska Native Studies Conference (2015) The Relationship between Indigenous Rights, Citizenship, and Land in Territorial Alaska: How the Past Opened the Door to the Future Thomas Michael Swensen1 1Ethnic Studies Department, Colorado State University, CO. On 4 March 1944 the Alaskan newspaper the Nome Nugget published an editorial written by sixteen-year-old local Inupiat Alberta Schenck. In her letter she publically voiced how many Alaska Natives felt in their homelands amid the employment of racial prejudice against them. “To whom it may concern: this is a long story but will have to make it as brief as possible,” she began, addressing the tensions “between natives, breeds, and whites.” In the editorial forum of the Nome Nugget the young Schenck implemented a discussion concerning discrimination toward Indigenous people, as made apparent in her use of racist language in distinguishing herself and members of her fellow Indigenous community as “natives” and “breeds.”1 An unexpected activist, Schenck worked as an usher at the Alaska Dream Theater in Nome where she took tickets and assisted patrons in locating their seats. At her job she was also responsible for maintaining the lines of segregation between seating for White patrons on the main floor and Native patrons in the balcony.
