over 30 years of first hand observation of, and participation
in Native education and rural development in Alaska.
Maori Makes a Difference: Human Resources
for Maori Development
Barnhardt, Ray
Excerpt: "This paper was born out of six months of observation,
reading, participation, and discussion as a visiting research fellow
at the
Centre for Maori Studies and Remeatch, University of Waikato, while
on sabbatical leave from the University of Alaska, Fairbanks, during
the 1984-85 academic year. The analysis presented in the paper,
though focused on the Maori in New Zealand, is also influenced to a
certain extent by my experience with similar issues in the context of
Alaska Native development."
Alaska
Federation of Natives
Excerpt: "The Alaska Federation of Natives was formed in October 1966, when
more than 400 Alaska Natives representing 17 Native organizations gathered for
a three-day conference to address Alaska Native aboriginal land rights."

Nonformal Educational Strategiesfor Rural Development
in Native Alaska
Mike Gaffney
Excerpt: "This paper focuses on the
relationship between rural education and development. It attempts to examine
this relationship as it applies directly to the changing socio-economic conditions
of an indigenous minority group whose cultural organization and traditions
are different from the larger industrial society in which its members live."
Economic and Educational Development in Rural Alaska:
A Human Resources Approach
Mike Gaffney
Excerpt: "After years of organizing a purposeful social movement,
and after years of highly astute political maneuvering within
the foremost corridors
of American
political power, on December 18, 1971, the Aleut, Eskimo, and Indian peoples
of Alaska won what is perhaps the most comprehensive and far-reaching legal
settlement of aboriginal claims to land and its resources yet witnessed in
the comtemporary
world-the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act."
