This Is The Story Of Alaska Natives' Fight For Their Land [Our Fight To Survive, Pt. 1] | AJ+ 

It's really sad to see people destroying nature for a short gain

This is sad. I know what the woman means, Irish people went through something similar when the British came and claimed our country as their own and forced us to speak their language and we weren't aloud to speak Irish. Eventually we got most of our land back but not all of it, they even burnt down innocent people's homes when we tried to get it back.

Thank you for covering topics very few Americans know about. Alaska's history is as big as its land...wide and vast. Uncovering its complexity and revealing dark secrets and misconceptions with beautiful culture and almost lost traditions is wonderful!

Because of colonization I don't know what tribe, language, customs, dance or anything else that is a part of who I am. I am not even sure how much Maya or Aztec I have. Fight for your heritage!!!

More indigenous videos please!!!

Thanks AJ+ fot educating us about native people

My tribe too..... I was adopted off the reservation, my grandfather was forced to go to boarding school...

They've been doing this to natives for years.

Please keep sharing. im from New Zealand. we have been treated the same way.

I wish I can move up there I am indigenous from Ontario Canada, I am so sick of it down here, one day I what to come and visit the indigenous people from their.

Thank you for the video! 😢 it's heart breaking as a person born in Alaska. I love this state and its indigenous people

Kia Ora cousins from new zealand aotearoa maori 👋🏾 don't give up the fight 💯🙏🏾

Such an insightful video. I hope it trends so others can see and understand another indigenous issue.

I am native Alaskan and the gov is not doing anything nm to help us there trying to destroy our way of life

This time, captain America will not provide arms for independence 😉

I love Alaska! lived there for two years in my teenage years. The most beautiful place in the world.

Is it possible to get Spanish subtitles? Would you consider opening it for community cooperation to translate it?

you are aboslutely right money is a short term but the land will always be here for us to provide for us..

Respect from ARIZONA I see you ALASKANS

Very informative but so sad to watch.

That narrator was fantastic!

I hope people soon open their eyes…and their hearts.

My Grandmother went to Eklutna school. She never taught her kids her native language. She was taught it was wrong. Our Alaska native group was litigated against most of my life, with a judge finally saying our BIA status should be revoked because 4 natives and 4 whites isn’t majority and you have to have native majority to qualify. 2 of those whites were our legally bound family members. Father and husband, to native group members. Why did ANCSA punish biracial families, especially after the boarding school treatment? The people who started the litigation weren’t there in 1970 which ANCSA said you had to be on. Now we are not federally recognized, but all of our natives groups around us recognize us.

I’m proud to be Russian indigenous mix! We are cousins🥺🤎

My dad and uncle are native Alaskans that work for an oil firm you cant make this shit up 💀💀💀

Love your coverage. Thank you. Please reconsider use of sustained low frequency tones in your soundtrack. Please just let people talk so we can listen. Those low tones are manipulative and have a negative effect. Please stop.

Global warming has caused oil drilling in Alaska to decrease. We do not want or need any more oil money. We need oxygen. To hell with oil.

Happened to Montagnards indigenous Central highland of Vietnam too we become minority in our own homeland Vietnamese treated us worser than your people.

Great Video! Thank You

Alaska is beautiful!

I'm not indigenous to anything but the earth. I hunt I gather I grow and I build by myself I need no one's permission to live and ask no one's permission. No one can own land but merely possess it while they are alive.

First, we need to use the right words: genocide! Please look up the definition of genocide if you are in doubt! Second, We need to explain the "ansca" was under "duress" and needs to be renegotiated now that we understand better the western war criminal system... Third: Russia never owned us so could never sell us (if it is legal I will sell you all of Europe for a measly $1,000,000! :p ) I love seeing strong Alaskan Natives who are proud to be #indigenous! Attu, Alaska tribe here! #represent :p

Hawaii ans Alaska, America wheres the title?

I'm second generation 'white-ized' Alaska Indigenous. I have been feeling it in my blood to return to the land and abandon the 'white.'

This is a well-deserved lawsuit that Alaska Native communities could slam onto the Federal Government. Oil has provided everything for Alaska but threatens the ecosystem heavily. Climate change hits Alaska at double the rate of the lower 48, and people there rely on an ecosystem developed over millions of years. Are you an Alaska native? Find a lawyer and sue the Federal Government in a class action. You heard the lady, they taught you English after you 'agreed' to the organization-region split. Illegal, especially if the contract was written in English. This is upsetting. Thankfully Bristol Bay never went through.... Alaska, you got this.

That pipeline looks DISGUSTING

💩🙊so familiar🤣stand up people, love from Hawaii.....👍✊✊✊✊✊#A'OLE TMT

segun harari entraron hace 16000 años por el estrecho de Bering , en cambio the OTHERS" con 500 mil años en la nieve mas o menos en 1500 , go to sing to gardel ..., ya estaban avivados .....

She has melanine and lives in cold one of the strongest species on eaarth

it's a bit radical but the only solution is to give all Canada and America back to natives who where the first guardian's of the land

Christians, Why did you Spread your religion to these native Alaskans when it's a perfectly ok to let them live they where.

With Simon eggs seems like yoy build a artificial stream to a pond or hatchery for saving the species and helping with food not taking the wild out of it but using it to help kinda like the artificial reefs helping the reefs and such

I'm native American and Mexican

Read "Village Journey" by Thomas Berger based on the Commission's results- he was chosen by Natives to visit village folks off the road system- After the Fact -of Congress establishing corporations and the law of ANCSA. The quotes from early 1980s are stunning. What a forced change people had to endure.

Yeshua with you love you people of the Most High

Bravo.

Alaska must become an independent country...free from the USA!

the girl at 0.05 is hideous

That explains the beading. And yes - you are survivors. To survive that weather. I would just freeze to death.

I truly think you should look up Tyonek and how they won the right to royalties. This was before Alaska Native Claims. Tyonek also Funded and a Tyonek Member drew up the draft for the first Alaska Federation of Natives. Tyonek means Little Chief.

Yeah wish you guys would of saved this little village called Nuiqsut on the North Slope the most impacted village in the world 5 miles the closest oil rig and like 6-7 rigs close by.

Did the aztects and alaskan natives originally from siberia?

Right

Same thing we did the the American Indian

People of 'marys igloo alaska' lost portions of our lands to a church that would discipline our grandparents for speaking there own language while they where in school we hear stories of there disciplines today and that miners claim is b.s. People of marys igloo, ak where here before that church and miner but yet force us to move out our own area due to saying you either put ur kids in school or go jail all kinds made us move away from the mother lands of 'marys igloo,ak' at pilgrims hotsprings belongs to people of marys igloo

OMG, we couldn't sell that land! With us Alaska Natives could have free college, free healthcare, their languages and hunting lands, but now they suffer because of OUR stupidity and greediness. What a shame was to take that meager 7 million dollars...

I like it

I searched this because I played Never Alone (Kisima Ingitchuna) where you play as Nuna the girl and the Fox

My corporation is for drilling on ANWR. It is wrong that an Alaska native corporation is for drilling there.

Feel sad for them...same thing hppnd vs us...

I’m part of a lost tribe of Alaska

Qujanaq!! ( kalaallisut Greenlandic for thank you)!! This would happen to Greenland too ( and is already happening in one form or another at the hands of many governments and people) This is why Greenland says “ wer open for business, but not for sale!!” This quite is by a Greenlandic ( forgerien? Prime minister, I think he is retired? * I put. ? Because I’m not shur if I’m saying those statements with the ? Marks right) please correct me if I’m wrong!! Much appreciated!!

Who are the people featured in these videos?

Deu 28:49 The LORD shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand; Deu 28:33 The fruit of thy land, and all thy labours, shall a nation which thou knowest not eat up; and thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed alway:

Who is here for school academia?

The videos show how Alaska native people have been discriminated against rights to their land.

It's the same story for all my tribal people out there, alway's fine print in these so called treadies that the U.S. government passes every time they have to deal with a problem of our's

They are lucky to have what they have

Aleuts generally do not look as pure blooded as other Arctic Natives

"But not everybody has benefitted from that wealth." Interesting...how many of them are still living without electricity?

So how are these people indegenous to Alaska and America at the same time? 🤔 These are no doubt the same grouos of people.

Eastern shoshone of the wind river reservation in Wyoming

where are u che guvera...rescue them

America is not given up alaska give it up already 🤣🤣🤣

Tebughna Natives from Tyonek and other villages flight off Russians and made a treaty. Leaving the west side of the Cook Inlet free of Russians.

The sale of Alaska was fictitious. Russia only occupied a small fraction of the territories.

All turtle mountains bands of chippewa are dying off not by drinking either s.o.s. chieftain of the sky. Fargo. Nd

Lands and sovereigntiessss

why do these people constantly complain? it's exhausting

I wondered would have happened if Russia had kept Alaska for themselves. Tensions during the Cold War may have escalated if Russia had a foothold in the continent. I'm not sure how the native Alaskans would have fare through.

Wow Qutar thanks for trying to influence the United States

Hello Alaska I an in surch for a 2500_ 3000 year old story person who came in the sky. Every heart beat counts so expedite your body

Indigenous of the continent.. come from Asia ..? Are the Asian descendants

I didn't serve in Iraq but I feel like I did

Free Alaska for the Eskimo and the American natives.

Colonization and assimilation can definitely be tragic... not just because of whites, but from other races as well. I don't think it's fair to just blame whites (especially ones living today) for racism that goes on today (and in the past). I believe the reason why Europeans have perhaps been the most successful among races in creating colonies and invading other indigenous people's lands was because of three major factors: their abundant natural resources, the location of their homeland, and even their climate. If people of a different region where the ones with the better advantages, then I have no doubt that they would also take advantage of their success. At first, the most successful were ones that inhabited the Middle East, Northeastern Africa, and Eastern Asia because the first known civilizations were established in these regions. I bet you anything that there were many instances of invasions and oppression from their parts, such as Egyptians forcing Israelites into slavery, or Huns invading Eastern Europe (the homeland of Slavic peoples), or Akkadians conquering the Sumerians and native people of Anatolia. Now don't get me wrong, I believe the European arrival in Alaska (as well as North America, or rather the Americas, as a whole) in many ways can be seen as immoral and oppression against the natives, but there are also benefits in their arrival (such as more effective tools, medicine, and in some cases helped them create their own writing system (using syllabics) for even better forms of communication. People should understand that this all took place in the past, and this type of colonization and racism has been very much diminished today. Prejudice against white people today (who were never personally involved with the actions that took place from the past) is going to solve nothing, if anything, it will only continue hostilities towards each other. This of course also goes for some white people, as they can also show signs of prejudice against other races...which obviously tends to be more popular (or hated), mostly thanks to mass media. Prejudice against ANY race is wrong and should be stopped, but in a more realistic approach, that will never happen. Why? Because we are all humans. We tend to be more similar than different from each other, specifically our mindsets. There will always be good and bad among the human race, and that's how it's always been for us.

Read Guns Germs and Steel very entertaining and interesting

This lady who spoke is very smart we need to take care of this land she should run for government do to what Mao has done to Chinese land owner this is almost same

Thought we multicultural

Actually, you came from the mountains in Mongolia and you are technically Asians.

Talk about the Islamic slave trade going on right now. Those videos were nuts.

Thought everyone in Alaska got a check? Oil money check

Because of PFD, literally everyone has benefited from oil wealth. If you are from a North slope corporation, you are set for life. The boarding schools were horrific. Many children we're sexually abused by missionaries and passed that down through their families. This is why there is a high sexual assault rate among Alaska natives. Now, each village has a school paid for by the state.

what diseases?

This is an a memorial lost cause. So sorry. Still here Time to get to modern times I am 87% Aleut

They are native of the Americas not just Alaska

Oil really? I thought Alaska benefited the most from its fishing industry.

If you really want to regain your culture stop using snow machines, four wheelers, motor boats and AR 15s. Oh no! You want to pick and choose what you want. Blaming others is a great way to sound like an defenseless victim. Give me a break!

The government educated everyone to speak one language because only in this way can it unite the whole country
