Description
Decades before the marches and victories of the 1960s, a bunch of Alaska Natives were making civil rights history. All over the early twentieth century, the Alaska Native Brotherhood fought for citizenship, voting rights, and education for all Alaska Natives, securing unheard-of victories in a contentious time. Their unified work and legal prowess propelled the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act, one of the most biggest claim settlements in United States history.
A Dangerous Idea tells an overpassed but powerful story of Alaska Natives fighting for his or her rights under American law and main points one of the most rare successes for Native American citizens of their just about two-hundred-year effort to define and give protection to their rights.
