	The Emergence of Native Alaskan Political Capacity, 1959-1971
		In response to these crises native protest organizations were formed in the separate ethnic regions of the State, and as an expression of some degree of Pan-Native unity, the Alaska Federation of Natives was formed in 1967 to pursue the land claims question.
		Native ownership of land in Alaska was not resolved with the American purchase of Alaska in 1867 (Treaty of Cession) nor was it to be resolved for over 100 years, until the passage of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act in 1971.
		Prior to Alaskan statehood in 1959 Alaskan natives were, for the most part, left undisturbed in their subsistence relationships with the land.

	Faleomavaega Statement In Support of SB 344
		This gives me hope and confidence that Native Hawaiians may be given the same opportunity to organize themselves as a political entity and Section 6 of the proposed bill gives a step-by-step approach on how this “governing entity” is to establish itself to be duly recognized by the federal government.
		I believe it is wise and prudent that Native Hawaiian issues need not be included as a sub-division of the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) given the fact that the BIA is tremendously understaffed and overloaded with responsibility of trying to administer federal programs that provide from some 595 federally recognized American Indian nations.
		Although there are distinct historical and cultural differences existing among American Indians, Native Alaskans and Native Hawaiians, there is a commonality among all three groups and that is that they are indigenous, native inhabitants of what we now consider the United States.
