Abstract: This "virtual classroom"
case study from Arctic Circle discusses the impact of the Alaska
Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA) on the Inupiat Eskimo people
of Alaska's North Slope and the formation of the region's ANCSA
corporation, the Arctic Slope Regional Corporation. The case
study addresses conflicts between traditional Inupiat forms of
land ownership and the corporate model of land ownership imposed
by ANSCA and invites readers to evaluate the success of Alaska
Native leaders in protecting Native land rights and to consider
what form of property ownership would have been wisest to pursue.
