Alaskan native claims settlement act of 1971 allocated 962. 5 million and 44 million acres of land for distribution among 12 corporations representing the native people of. Each village gained stocks along with this act. The japanese bought salmon eggs on a contract, but the buyer ended up scamming them because he had no money. Teachers say they are teaching academics for the students to move out because there is nothing to offer in their villages. When they stay in the village and have nothing left, they turn to alcoholism. They take teens to the city to teach them urban survival skills, such as using bus schedules, getting their license, making hotel reservations, filling out job applications, opening bank accounts, and ordering in restaurants. Much of the meaning and symbolism of the stick dance has been lost.
