Book Synopsis Haa Aaní by : Walter Goldschmidt
Book excerpt: In the early 1940s, a boom in white migration to Southeast Alaska brought up questions of land and resource rights. In 1946, the Commissioner of Indian Affairs assigned a team of researchers to interview old and young villagers to discover who owned and used the lands and waters of the region and under what rules. Their report is published here for the first time in book form, along with text of interviews with 88 natives, a reminiscence by an anthropologist on the research team, and an introduction explaining the context and significance of the original report.
