There exists a moral conflict between the worldview of Alaska Natives and mainstream U.S. culture, in general. This moral conflict was expressed during the 1970’s by ‘Naugga Ciunerput’, a fictional character co-created by Inupiat educator, Fred Bigjim of Nome, Alaska, who wrote three letters to ‘Howard’ at the Tundra Times (Nabokov 393-396). Those letters gave voice to issues of importance to Alaskan ‘Eskimos’ (people of the arctic region) in relation to the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA), the largest land settlement claim in American history. ANCSA was designed to benefit Alaska Natives by indirectly conveying title to forty million acres of federal public land; and to benefit the United States, in general, by removing all other native claims to land, water, hunting, and fishing rights in Alaska,

Instead of the United States drilling for oil in Alaska, we should focus more on ways to reduce oil consumption, such as researching renewable energy sources. Let’s face it the air as we know it isn’t getting any cleaner.

The regional corporations’ failure to provide dividends that were adequate enough to allow people to remain comfortably in their local villages, coupled with the influx of Western Capitalistic Culture brought by the new corporations, led an increasing number of Native Alaskans to begin moving from their traditional subsistence lifestyles in rural villages to the comparatively urban cities of Alaska.

It holds many truths that are relevant to young adults, but to extract those lessons, one must first view the plot and characters through a lens of psychoanalytical theory.

The universe let Miles meet Alaska through a "great perhaps". I don't know why the universe let me meet her, but she really impacted me as a person.
