	William L. Hensley's speech "Why the Natives of Alaska Have a Land Claim"
		Since Alaska is the homeland of 55,000 Eskimo, Indian, and Aleut people; and since the land has never been specifically taken from by act of the United States Congress, or in battle, or by abandonment; we declare, indeed, proclaim, that by reason of historic use and occupancy, this is our land.
		The first proposal, and the one to which the Alaska Federation of Natives and the Department of the Interior have proposed amendments, is based upon elements of a legislative settlement suggested by the Federal Field Committee, a small federal research organization in Alaska.
		The proposal prepared by the Alaska Federation of Natives provides for either four townships (92,160 acres) or 500 acres of land per person, whichever is greater, for each of 242 listed villages as well as four sections (640 acres each) in each township in the state to the appropriate regional Native corporation.
