State and Regional Economic Benefits by ANCSA Corporations

“The passage of Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA) had effects that reached far beyond Alaska Native people. By creating Alaska Native-owned, for-profit corporations, ANCSA brought additional economic diversity to the state that has benefited all Alaskans, either directly or indirectly. ANCSA brought added value to the economy of the State of Alaska, the federal government, and the private sector.” — ANCSA Regional Association
