Abstract: A comprehensive overview of local
dispute organizations in rural Alaska, many of which are tribal
courts or village councils, including a directory of organizations,
a discussion of their interactions with state and local governments,
and recommendations. Also included is a summary of the history
and legal systems of the major Alaska Native groups -- Inupiaq,
Yup'ik, Alutiiq, Athabascan, and Southeast Indians (Tlingit/Haida)
-- before European contact and their evolution since.
