NORTH PACIFIC COAST ALASKA: A POLITICAL ISLAND (CHAPTER 16: PART 2)

NORTH PACIFIC COAST

INTRODUCTION  Based on rugged topography and the lack of overland connections, coastal southern Alaska remains relatively isolated from the rest of the region.  Alaska is as close to Japan as it is to CONUS  Anchorage is home to 1 in 3 Alaskans.  The economy is not based totally on the "primary activities" of lumbering, fishing, and mining.  DOD is easily the dominant employer in the state.  Alaska boasts a tremendous variety of natural resources.  Hosts a large number of national parks and preserves, and is also recognized as being America's “last frontier.”

RELATIVE LOCATION

RELATIVE LOCATION

THE STRUGGLE FOR ALASKA'S LAND  Continuous controversy over the issues of...  developing natural resources  safeguarding the last frontier  protecting and preserving the traditional way of life of the state's native population  the State's rights to pursue economic development through exploitation of its natural resources

KEY PLAYERS  Federal Government  State Government  Environmentalists  Native Alaskans  Developers  Homesteaders

KEY EVENTS (Chronology)  1867: The U.S. acquires Alaska from Russia.  1884: Alaska Organic Act - Declared that Indians and Eskimos in the territory shall not be disturbed in possession of lands actually in their use or occupation or now claimed by them.  1958: Year of statehood.  1958: Alaska Statehood Act - Granted the state the right to select 104 million acres by 1983 for state use, ignoring Indian and Eskimo claims.  1968: Petroleum discovered at Prudhoe Bay on the North Slope.

KEY EVENTS (Chronology)  1971: Congress passed the Alaskan Native Land Claims Settlement Act, which provided one billion dollars and 44 million acres.  1980: Congress passed the Conservation Act (a major compromise between interest groups) which provided for 104 million acres of parks and refuges and 57 million acres specified as wilderness.

RESOURCE MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES  Preservation - The practice of removing from use, those resources which need full protection. The limited or non-use of a resource for the purpose of saving it for the future.  Conservation - The wise use or careful management of resources so as to balance use with protection.  Exploitation - The practice which advocates full or unlimited use of a resource.

KEY CONCEPTS  Multiple Use  The use of lands for as many different purposes as possible to gain maximum benefit from them.  Wilderness  Lands that have not been affected by human activity and are protected from future use.  Boom and Bust Economy  The cycles of rapid growth and catastrophic decline often associated with mineral extraction industries.  The effects of the cyclical nature of their economy are a major concern to native Alaskans.
