“…It was not until 1976 (much later than in the Lower 48) that a lawsuit brought by a Yup'ik student (Hootch v. Alaska State-Operated School System, 1975; commonly known as the Molly Hootch decree) forced the state to support the rights of students to be educated in their home villages. The enormous oil revenues in the 1970s subsequently allowed the state to build secondary schools in any village with 15 or more high school age children (Haycox, 2002). (It is important to note that the boarding schools have had some positive aspects, including the opportunity for Alaska Natives to develop relationships and political connections with Alaska Native people from around the state; a few boarding schools continue to operate today [Haycox, 2002].)…”

“…The discovery of oil has had an enormous impact on the Inupiat, in both positive ways (e.g., increased resources to fund education, social services, health care, and political activism) and negative ways (easier access to alcohol and drugs, disruption of the subsistence way of life). (See Haycox, 2002, for more on the impact of oil on Alaska Natives.) Hunting, particularly whale hunting, continues to be an important part of community life among the Inupiat (North Slope Borough, n.d., in McClanahan & Bissett, 2002, p. 27).…”

“…The Tlingit and Haida cultures are known worldwide for their artwork, which includes the carving of totem poles. The Tlingit and Haida are among the more acculturated to European American culture and have the highest number of high school and college graduates of any Alaska Native group (Haycox, 2002).…”

and Alaska Natives make up approximately 1% of the total U.S. population. However, in Alaska, where the state population is only 626,000, Alaska Natives comprise approximately 19% (119,241) of the state's people (Alaska Division of Planning, Evaluation and Health Statistics, 2002). Thus, therapists living in Alaska are very likely to work with Alaska Native clients. Therapists living Outside (the Alaskan term for places beyond state borders) may also encounter Alaska Native clients, particularly in the area of the Pacific Northwest.Psychological research regarding the mental health needs and treatment of Alaska Native people is extremely limited. Existing research focuses primarily on American Indians in the Lower 48 (states) and generalizes this information to Alaska Natives. Although there are some similarities, there are also significant geographical, cultural, political, and historical differences between these populations.A search of the American Psychological Association (APA) journals and books database yielded no empirical studies of counseling or psycho-I would like to thank Karen Ferguson, Barbara Fleek, Randall Madigan, and Alan Boraas for their feedback regarding this chapter.

“…Ricardo (1817) disagreed with Smith (1776) on the welfare implications of pursuing foreign territories and trading with them, and Marx (1867, 1885, 1894) and Hobson (1902) discussed extensively how territorial expansions benefit and harm capitalist economies. It was scholars in other social sciences who followed this line of exploration, such as the relation between fur trade and the Alaska Purchase (Haycox, 2002), and the role of Hong Kong as an entrepôt in its handover from the United Kingdom to China (Cheung, 1998). We are revisiting an area explored by early economists, which is now a topic of interest within the social sciences.…”

Throughout history, goods have flowed across countries to balance supply and demand. Territories have likewise flowed. Unlike goods, territories flow only in terms of sovereignty, but like goods, their flows are driven by the decisions of rational actors. In peaceful times, countries redraw borders in exchange for economic and political benefits. In times of war, countries fight each other for territories they covet. In interim periods, following war and before peace is established, countries negotiate treaties to convert territories they occupied in the war into equivalent interests. This paper aims to rationalize the bilateral territory flows across countries. We find that the gravity model, originally built for modeling the goods flows across countries, also explains territory flows. As a namesake of Newton's third law, the gravity model predicts that the volumes of goods flows are

Wildlife play prominent roles in popular images of America's outdoor landscapes, yet our understanding of their contribution to place meanings is not fully developed. Although environmental management agencies have a long history of stewarding wildlife for hunting and shing, they have been less inclined to prioritize non-consumptive uses such as the contribution of wildlife to sense of place. Given that agencies are increasingly challenged to implement policies that align with citizen priorities, connecting wildlife to sense of place could lead to more effective decisions. Our research explored the plurality of connections that residents made with wildlife in multiple protected areas across the USA region of Interior Alaska. Residents of nine communities were engaged over a ve-year period, followed by a thematic analysis of interview data, which resulted in the identi cation of seven place meaning themes. These themes re ected qualities of the local environment that were appreciated by residents, including: 1) desirable travel destination, 2) distinct sense of community, 3) landscape of subsistence and tradition, 4) landscape of wildlife habitat, 5) natural resources in need of harvesting, 6) rural Alaskan lifestyle, and 7) wildland areas tied to recreation. Native wildlife species -from traditionally charismatic species like moose (Alces alces) to less iconic species such as snowshoe hare (Lepus americanus) -were discussed in the context of all seven place meaning themes. Wildlife provided a basis for study participants to interpret landscapes and ascribe meanings to places, thus supporting our argument that shared in uences of wildlife and place meanings should be prioritized in environmental planning and management.
