Alaska Native Self-Government and Service Delivery: What Works?
(Separate Website)
The Native peoples of Alaska have governed themselves for far longer than either the State of Alaska or the United States. Indeed, their rights of self-government are properly defended as basic human rights that are not unilaterally extinguishable by these other governments. Yet, today an assortment of questions are being raised about key aspects of Alaska Native self-governance. Among these are questions such as: What form should Native self-government take? What powers should it include? In which
communities or groups should those powers be vested? Additional questions are being raised about how the delivery of social services to Alaska Natives is organized. Who should be responsible for service delivery, and what form should service delivery take?

Historical Accounting for Individual Indian Monies
(Separate Website)
For several years, the Department of the Interior has been involved in an accounting project of
unprecedented proportions. Among other things, Interior has been ordered by the district court
in Cobell v. Norton to document every dollar it has received and disbursed on behalf of
individual Indians since 1887—a task that encompasses billions of dollars, hundreds of
thousands of accounts, and tens of millions of account transactions. Under the district court’s
order, Interior must verify the accuracy of every transaction in its individual Indian account
ledgers by reference to the supporting documents. No other federal financial system—not the
tax collection system, the Social Security system, or the Medicare system—has ever been tasked
with an undertaking of this type and scope.
