Sakuuktugut

This publication puts perspective on Alaska Native Corporations, unique enterprises creating their own form of capitalism as a result of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act of 1971, in the context of Alaska's history and economic and social issues. The book documents how Alaska Native people are writing an epic story in cultural and economic development, and it focuses on their intimate tie to the land. 'Sakuuktugut', pronounced suh-KOOK-to-ghut, is an Inupiaq word which means 'we are working incredibly hard.' Published and funded by The CIRI Foundation. 200 pages. Photographs included.
