"Village Journey" by Thomas R. Berger, published by Hill and Wang in New York, 1986, is a significant work detailing the findings of the Alaska Native Review Commission. This second printing edition provides an in-depth analysis of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act and its implications for Native land rights. Berger, a prominent advocate for Native rights, examines the legal and cultural ramifications of the Act, offering a critical perspective on indigenous claims and land tenure in Alaska. This edition is particularly valuable for those studying Native American law and history. The book is ex-library, indicating prior use in a library setting, which may appeal to collectors of institutional copies. The absence of a dust jacket and some library markings do not detract from the book's scholarly importance and its role in documenting a pivotal moment in Native American legal history.
