Alaska in the Balance, another look at “30-40-30”
Whether by design or a lack of vision, Alaska was destined from the beginning to be dependent on government for its economic survival. At statehood we placed 99.75% of our land in the pockets of either the federal government or the state government. Later, as a result of ANILCA, another approximately 44 million acres was transferred to the native corporations. To date, neither the federal government, the state government, nor the native corporations have released any significant portion of the land base into the hands of the private citizens of the State of Alaska.[More]
