teachers, perhaps without earning college degrees.... [read

Maniilaq
Maniilaq is written in Inupiaq and English.
|
Maniilaq is the name of a man that is held
in very high regard by the older Iñupiat
Eskimos of the Northwest Arctic. He was more commonly known as
Maniilauraq, and to some of the elders in the area, he
was an Eskimo prophet. They speak of him with reverence and admiration.
Many believe him and in the fulfillment of his prophecies in this
day and age.
This book presents the information which the
Center has on Maniilaq transcribed and translated exactly
as the elders have given it. There has been no attempt made to
edit any of the discussions as many of the contributors have passed
away. The materials are presented here for you, the reader, to
read and reach your own conclusions about Maniilaq. You
will find the accounts to be repetitious, but as you read each
variant of Maniilaq's activities and teachings, you will
acquire new information which will add to your knowledge of the
whole subject.

Alaska Natives were legally prevented from establishing mining claims
under the terms of the mining act. As this photograph indicates, there were
other barriers preventing or discouraging Alaska Natives from participating
in the establishment of the social and economic structures of modern Alaska.
