ALASKA is a land of contrast. Not only are there great variations in climate, topog¬ raphy, and ecology, but in its economy as well. While some facets of its technology and economy are highly developed, there are areas which must be considered economically underdeveloped. One of the least developed regions is the Bethel area of southwestern Alaska, where approximately 11,000 persons live in some 50 villages scattered throughout a treeless tundra of 98,116 square miles. Most inhabitants are Eskimos or Atha¬ bascan Indians, whose subsistence economy is based on hunting and fishing. Economic difficul¬ ties are chronic, and a question posed in the report of the 1890 census is pertinent today. "What can these people do to support them¬ selves in a more decent and comfortable mode of life?" (1).
