Land use pattern in Alaska before the Alaska Native Claims Act?
Wiki User
∙ 14y ago
Alaska has had had a long and abusive relationship regarding land ownership with the Federal government controlling almost two thirds of the property, 12% reserved as Native American Lands, 1.0% in private ownership and the rest held by the state. Land ownership in any quantity by a single individual is rare. Land dealsas patronage has been historical and rarely has land use been beneficial to the public at large. Because the state is so large and spent much of its infancy as unwanted Federal Lands, the homestead acts became irrelevant.
