"Take My Land, Take My Life concludes the story of the 134-year history of the U.S. government's relations with Alaska's Indian, Eskimo, and Aleut peoples that Don Mitchell's first book, Sold American: The Story of Alaska Natives and Their Land began. The culmination of that story occurred in 1971 when Congress enacted the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act, the most generous settlement of aboriginal land claims in the nation's history.
Don Mitchell's work also tells the story of the political history of the Last Frontier during the first decade of Alaska statehood. Take My Land, Take My Life also is an adventure story that reaffirms the age-old truths that history is made by the men and women who live it, that the law of unintended consequences produces outcomes that do not necessarily match intentions, and that, if they care enough, individuals can make a difference."--BOOK JACKET.
