Book excerpt: In Alaska few issues inspire as much heated debate as restrictions on the use of public lands. This is particularly true regarding the creation of national parks and their management by the National Park Service. Since Alaska's earliest years as an American possession, the relationship between the federal government and the residents of Alaska has been a contentious one as local people struggled to satisfy their immediate needs and aspirations while politicians and land managers based in Washington, D.C. selected Alaskan lands in the national interest. This study examines the tumultuous history of the creation of national park units in Alaska, focusing on the conflicts triggered by the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act of 1971, the use of the Antiquities Act to create national monuments in 1978, and the creation of eighty million acres of national parklands by the Alaska National Interest Lands Act in 1980. The study brings to the foreground the voices of protestors who attempted to block the creation of national parks in the state and to resist the management of parks by the National Park Service. Whereas most histories of this period focus on the political struggles between conservationists and Alaskan politicians, this study resurrects a largely undocumented chapter in the history of Alaska's land debate by examining the reactions of Alaskans living near new national parks who launched energetic and sustained protests to protect their way of life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Creation of a national park, until recently, often involved nationalization of lands belonging to indigenous peoples. The usual result is the displacement of community-based common property rights, institutions and resource management regimes by nation-state ownership and management systems. The premise of this study is that institutionalizing co-management---i.e., the sharing of decision-making by Native peoples and national government managers---offers great potential for ensuring the convergence of nature conservation, cultural preservation, and rural development in and around protected areas. The purpose of this research is to contribute to the improvement of protected area management by doing a qualitative evaluation of the extent to which co-management arrangements and institutions have evolved at four national parks in Alaska and the Yukon. Research questions include: 1) what is the history of the relationship between national parks and Native peoples?; 2) what institutional processes and organizational structures are evolving?; 3) how effective are these co-management institutions at accomplishing their objectives?; and, 4) how can the structure and function of this emerging institution be enhanced and extended? The study finds, first, that Yukon Natives and Canadian Park Service managers seem to share more park management objectives than their Alaskan colleagues. Second, the co-management structures implemented through Canadian land claim settlements are more likely to guarantee equal Native representation on Yukon national park co-management boards than their Alaskan equivalents. Third, regarding processes, Yukon national park co-management bodies, tend to have wider jurisdiction over lands and resources, possess more decision-making authority, and make greater use of cultural/ traditional knowledge. Finally, Yukon national park co-management regimes clearly create more Native employment, especially at middle management levels, as well as much greater economic development opportunities. Even though national park co-management has evolved further in the Yukon than in Alaska, this dissertation concludes that the two pioneers in the international protected area movement, Canada and the United States, are both making significant contributions towards establishing co-management of national parklands in Native homelands. Moreover, it is proposed that further adoption and evolution of protected area co-management will likely promote sustainable conservation of cultural and natural diversity into the future"--Leaves v-vi.
