ANCSA: Caught in the Middle

Alaska Native Elder and author Robert Rude reviews the history of Alaska Natives from the time they encountered Russian traders in 1792 to the present time. History brings out that Alaska Natives are "Caught in the Middle" of two cultures and passage of the Alaska Native Land Claims Act (ANCSA) and amendments to the Act have put Alaska Natives into a position where they do not have same rights given to Indian tribes nor do they have the same rights as stockholders in an American corporation.
