"THE SEMINAL WORK for every informed person who needs answers and understanding about the legal issues most important to Alaska Natives." (Professor David Getches, University of Colorado Law School)

Readers will find Alaska Natives and American Laws an outstanding compilation of factual data combined with brilliant story-telling narrative that leads the reader from one step to the next [and] unfailing in its quest to educate, to enlighten and to bring the past into a modern day perspective." (Alberta Native News)
"A seminal and valued contribution to Native American Studies reference collections." (Midwest Book Review)
Once again, Case and Voluck have provided the most rigorous and comprehensive presentation of the important laws and concepts in Alaska Native law and policy to date. Thirty years after the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act became law, Alaska Natives are more than ever subject to a dizzying array of laws, statutes, and regulations. This Second Edition provides expanded and up-to-date analyses of ANCSA, the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act, and four fields of Alaska Native law and policy: land, human services, subsistence, and self-government. The authors also trace the development of the Alaska Native organizations working to influence and change these policies. Like the first edition, the expanded Alaska Natives and American Laws is the essential reference for anyone working in Native law, policy, or social services, and for scholars and students in law, public policy, environmental studies, and Native American studies.
[Alaska Natives and American Laws] will be the seminal work for every informed person who needs answers and understanding about the legal issues most important to Alaska Natives. �Like the first edition, it will be the standard in the field.-- Dr. David Getches, R. J. Moses Professor of Natural Resources Law, University of Colorado Law School
The second edition of Alaska Natives and American Laws does a magnificent job of tracing the history of federal and state treatment of Alaska's indigenous people. Authors David Case and David Voluck have performed a valuable service to Alaska Natives, the legal community, and the general public by detailing the complex law that defines the legal status of Alaska Natives, their governments, and other institutions�. Anyone interested in individual rights to Native allotments, Native townsite lands, or health and social services will find a detailed legal history and current exposition of statutes and case law. Federal laws regarding public lands, Native education statutes, the Marine Mammal Protection Act, the Endangered Species Act, and international treaties are among the many other topics covered in this truly comprehensive treatise. A fascinating chapter details the development of modern Alaska Native non-profit organizations and advocacy groups. Alaska Natives are likely subject to more federal statues, regulations, administrative rulings and court decisions than any other indigenous group in the United States. Case and Voluck have provided a wonderful resource for all Alaskans and a treatise that should be on the shelf of every lawyer who practices in Alaska."-- Robert T. Anderson, Assistant Professor and Director, Native American Law Center, University of Washington School of Law, in Alaska Law Review
"My students will applaud this second edition! Alaska Natives and American Laws has generated lively discussions and rigorous research in classes as diverse as philosophy, public policy, and Native American studies. Case and Voluck have produced what is by far the most impressive and respected scholarship in their field. It should be required reading for students of Native American studies nationwide, and is a brilliant exemplar for anyone studying land claims, law, and social services in other cultural contexts.-- Dr. Michael L. Jennings Department of Philosophy, University of Alaska Fairbanks
