America shouldn’t drill in Alaska because it doesn’t really help our economy. In document B it states that “ If oil is discovered less than 2,000 acres of the 150 million acres of the coastal plain would be affected.” The oil from the ANWR possibly created up to 735,000 jobs because they are building a new oil refinery and they need places to get

In the mid to late 1800’s brought about the “Treaty of Cession referred to indigenous people of Alaska as "uncivilized tribes." Such designation in legislation and other agreements caused Alaska Natives to be subject to the same regulations and policies as American Indians in the United States” (Benson, 2015). This was also followed up the 1884 First Organic Act, disputing Alaskan Natives any claims for the land they occupied, and the Major Crimes Act of 1885 that would not allow natives to process any criminal acts. This prompted the start of the Alaska Native Brotherhood (ANB), this organization united all the different tribes/clans of Southeast Alaska to bond together to press the US government for equality for all Native Alaskans (Benson, 2015). For several years, the Tlingit people fought politically against the US government for control and rights to the land they inhabited for centuries. Though the Tlingits won small advantages in the battle for ownership, such as the 1935 congressional ruling that allowed both the Tlingits and the Hiada Indians the right to sue the Federal Government for a land dispute. It wasn’t until 1971, when President Nixon signed in action the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act, becoming the largest land claims settlement in United States History. According to the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act,

States with a high reliance on the energy industry, like Alaska, North Dakota, Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana, are currently facing economic challenges. In terms of Texas in general, our economy rests a lot on the oil producing industry and this has forced many companies to make tough decisions like cutting back on new hires and in some cases even laying off workers. Even though the Texas economy has a lot more going for it than just oil, especially because of the job growth in technology, health care and construction, there's still risk ahead for Texas in terms of job growth, less production, less investment, and less build-out of infrastructure. People who work in or around the oil industry don't like cheap

There are many states in North America. Formally known as the United States of America. From New York to California, you could find millions of different types of people, and cultures from around the world. But how about a state that is so isolated from them all, that many people forget it was even added as the 49th state to the country? The lone state of Alaska is to the north west of the major states and if laid on top of the other states, would cover about two-thirds of the land. And for a state that is so large, it is surely simply thought of as the coldest state. Alaska is much more then that, and has a lot of history behind just a land of snow and mountains.

Also would be hurting wildlife. Drilling in Alaska would allow many people to start their new career of working on the pipeline. I see it as being similar to the gold rush in the mid 1800’s. In the mid 1800’s many people fled out west to California on the hunt for gold. Gold was extremely rare but if one person found gold they would have money to go back home and support their families. This situation would be similar except it would oil. Drilling in Alaska would drastically change the unemployment rate. We can harness so much energy the United States has to offer and the first step is to get the oil that we already own. The unemployment rate has been declining and increasing constantly. Harvesting oil on the United States grounds would create jobs for thousands.

Drilling supporters still argue that there are benefits to drilling that may outweigh environmental harms. In addition to helping America gain energy independence, drilling has economic benefits. For Alaskans, tax money is important. Other Americans worry that gas prices are too high. According to Senator George Allen, these high prices come from a reliance on OPEC   (US Fed News Service

The political need of one state is very different from those that occur in another. A statesman from Alaska need not worry about the same problems as a senator in Tennessee. Delegates from Tennessee may also have a varying degree of problems to solve. Tennessee's senators, Lamar Alexander and Bob Corker, have similar and varying views on how the United States of America should run based on the budget, environmental issues, and foreign wars. These two senators complete outstanding services, however, between the two, respectively, Lamar Alexander is the better politician.

Both the Alaskan and Inuvialuit land claim Agreement have corporate structures to operate the agreement and the two land claim agreements established Regional Development Corporations to pertain its circumstances. The Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA) created thirteen Native Regional corporations and grouped Alaskan Native Communities into twelve regions comprising most Native Alaskans sharing common heritage and interests. The thirteenth regional corporation is a non-spatial entity while the other twelve have a spatial entity. This corporation created a source a source of financial opportunity for Native Alaskans residing outside the state. Each corporation has 1,000-16,000 members, which the members became stockholders of the corporation.

The U.S. Department of the Interior, in 1932, supported the federal government’s treatment of Alaskan Natives as American Indians. The result of American policies impacted Alaskan Native land claims and settlement. The 1885 Major Crimes Act stripped the Tlingit of their right to deal with criminal matters according to traditional customs. The U.S. purchase of Alaska consisted of a profound impact on the Tlingit politically, territorially, culturally, and

America should drill in Alaska for oil because it's good for the economy. Document C says the United States uses more oil than it could find domestically, even if we were to drill on all public lands. The United States uses 25% to 30% of the oil produced

Americans shouldn’t drill for oil in Alaska because of the economics. The oil will only reduce US oil imports 4% having no real effect on prices and supplies. It would only last six months supply for oil at our consumption rates. The research says that America solve its energy problem by reducing the oil usage.

United States Government Welfare began in the 1930’s during the Great Depression. Franklin D. Roosevelt thought of this system as an aid for low-income families whose men were off to war, or injured while at war. The welfare system proved to be beneficial early on by giving families temporary aid, just enough to help them accommodate their family’s needs. Fast forward almost 90 years, and it has become apparent that this one once helpful system, has become flawed. Welfare itself and the ideologies it stands on, contains decent fundamentals; furthermore, this system of aid needs only to be reformed to better meet the needs of today’s society.

Out of the many different studies funded by Alaska that show the economic result of the spill, if you look at solely the impact of commercialized
