Book excerpt: Alaska Native corporations (ANC) were created to settle land claims with Alaska Natives and foster economic development.

This report identifies (1) trends in the government's 8(a) contracting with ANC firms, (2) the reasons agencies have awarded 8(a) sole-source contracts to ANC firms and the facts and circumstances behind some of these contracts, and (3) how ANCs are using the 8(a) program.
