Breaking the ice : from land claims to tribal sovereignty in the arctic / Barry Scott Zellen.

Summary:

Breaking the Ice is a comparative study of the movement for native land claims and Aboriginal rights in Alaska and the Western Arctic, and the resulting political transformation as the indigenous peoples of the North gained an increasingly prominent role in the governance of their homeland and their land claims agreements paved the way toward self-government. The book is based on field research conducted by the author during his nine-year residency in the Western Arctic.
