This is a good quick read about the Alaska Native Brotherhood and the decades long legal and political struggle that lead to the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act. IDK how well known the story is, but Alaska natives weren't confined to reservations like most Indigenous people in the Lower 48. However, they weren't given title to their land and resources, either. Starting in ~ the 20s the ANB was formed to press Alaska Native's legal and political rights to their land and resources. The result was teh ANCSA which granted Alaska Natives rights to large segments of their lands organized under regional corporations. It's good to know about.
