Drilling in Alaska will not help stop the oil crisis. Many colonial Americans weren’t concerned about protecting natural resources because they thought they had a lot but they also knew that they needed to preserve the oil. Should the United States drill for oil in Alaska’s wilderness? America shouldn’t drill in Alaska because of the environment wilderness, protecting environment, and economics.

The 107th Congress is considering approving energy development in Alaska. Shortages of gasoline, natural gas and the resulting increased prices have opened this debate. The events of September 11,

By sharing such facts and numbers Carter forces the reader to think over the situation by valuing the vast difference between an insignificant financial income and enormous damage to the territory. Jimmy Carter builds a clear connection between a claim and evidence through personal observations as a visitor which could be made by any of reader and a signer of the act leading to preserve the Arctic Refuge which could be supported by the reader as well. One of the most influential ideas giving the author support of the claim is the importance of saving the “pure, untrammeled state” of the land for the future generations to show them advantages of eco-system development and

Little attention is given to some of the more remote areas of the world. Island residents are subject to experiences not shared by their main land cousins. This often leads to a sense of isolation. This dilemma could either be a good or a bad thing. The negative effects of isolation are clear, without an exchange of ideas or goods innovation can stagnate. On the other hand isolation could also be used as a defensive mechanism in that conflict may only be limited to inter-tribal disputes. Either way, the native inhabitants of the Aleutian Islands are an example of this life style. As a result of these unique conditions the native inhabitants of the islands had developed a culture centered around their unusually circumstances that stick out not only to other north American indigenous groups, but also to the mainland Alaskan natives.

A vision for unity: Proactivity in Bristol Bay Organization Summary The longstanding history of indigenous land claims disputes in the United States stimulated a series of land ownership transformations that did not, by any means, bypass Alaska. The formation of thirteen, regional, for-profit Alaska Native Corporations (ANCs) were the eventual result of those transformations. The ANCs were charged with the task of building successful businesses while assuming the role of landlord over their respective land region. The for-profit businesses, however, left much to be desired in terms of meeting the collective needs for Alaska Native peoples. Bristol Bay Native Association was incorporated as the regional non-profit corporation in 1973

When the time comes to leave one’s land, the true value of it is revealed. Grampa decides he “ain’t a goin’” because even though the Oklahoman land is “no good” it is still his land (Steinbeck 111). The connection to the land is through memories and history, not because of profit. The connection is underlying in the identity of the people who live on it. The same connection between the people and the land

This excerpt talks about the importance of glaciers in the perspective of Aboriginal Alaskans through their use of descriptive words, oral traditions, indigenous knowledge, as well as their past interactions with European settlers concerning the differences between how each side perceives nature.

The colonization of the new world and the subsequent missionary efforts to the native people in Southeast Alaska is not unlike that of the greater mainland of modern day America. Their way of life, like that of all other native peoples, forever shifted; means of income, cultural norms, sociopolitical structures, religious practices etc. However, what makes the state of Alaska unique is that it was under Russian occupancy prior to the purchase of Alaska in 1867 by the United States. In primarily focusing on the Tlingit people in the Sitka area, it will be shown that these “primitive” people were primed prior to the purchase of Alaska by the Russian occupancy. The combined factors of Russian culture and influence, as well as the efforts of Russian Orthodox missionaries, such as Saint Innocent (Father Venaminov) and St. Herman, unknowingly contributed to a level of preservation for the Tlingit people.

Alaska’s geography is difficult to explore because of the people traveling by foot, lots of snow, ice and dangerous wild animals. Would you go through all this just for a piece of gold? Many people have gone through this in the Alaskan history.

Aleutians has many active volcanos and also some in coastal regions. For example, Unimak Island, where
