Scope and Contents
The Alaska subject files include materials about the Native Village of Barrow Iñupiat Traditional Government, the Native Village of Venetie Tribal Government, and state-tribal relationships dating from approximately 1993 to 2001. The materials include reports, informational booklets and packets, memos, newspaper articles, and pamphlets. Although there are some chronological gaps in this subseries, and the materials only cover a small number of the Native American communities in Alaska, the materials provide a snapshot of the political stance of the state of Alaska toward indigenous communities at the time.
