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.
