Abstract: The Alaska Natives Commission (the Joint Federal-State Commission on Policies and Programs Affecting Alaska Natives) was created by Congress in 1990 at the urging of Alaska Native groups, and was jointly funded by the federal government and the State of Alaska.
     Volume I: Healing, Harmony, Hope contains the essence of the Alaska Native Commission's findings. It documents physical, social, and economic changes that have occurred over the past two centuries which affect Alaska Natives; provides the commission's fundamental recommendations in key issue areas; and presents key statistical facts and findings of the commission.
     Volume II includes the results of studies conducted by the commission in the areas of Alaska Native physical health; social and cultural issues and the alcohol crisis; economic issues and rural economic development; Alaska Native education; and self-governance and self-determination, including justice, law enforcement, and corrections.
     Volume III contains the full text of two separate studies conducted by the commission in the areas of Alaska Native subsistence and Alaska Native tribal government, condensed forms of which are found in Volume I.
