Ancsa Native Corporations are any of the thirteen corporations that were formed by the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act. In 1971 the push for oil development, the state's desire to get the land promised to it under the Statehood Act and the Alaska Natives' efforts to save their land paid off with what would become the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act, known as ANCSA. For four years spirited debate had focused on just how much land and cash the Alaska Natives would be granted for the settlement of their claims. The final bill that emerged promised 44 million acres and $1 billion in cash.

If you are trying to get information about Native Corporations that receive oil, timber, mineral, and land rights from the Alaskan Native Corporations Settlement Act (ANCSA), then you can start your research by using the online directory to find the contact information for the Native Alaskan Corporations that you are interested in. When you call the corporations, you should know what types of questions you want to ask them so that you can get to the point and you remember to ask for all of the information that you need. Some of the information that you might be interested in includes which villages, regional western territory, and federal lands they have ownership rights to, what types of title claim shares those with native ancestry receive, and how one goes about proving their ancestry. You might also ask them if they have a web site that can give you more information about the ANCSA. They might hold regular meetings where you can also learn a lot about their compensation and settlement rights. Depending on where you live, there might be a meeting or an office located near you. While you are at the meeting, you also might be able to learn more about aboriginal civil rights. Since many aboriginal people make claims to land ownership because their ancestors occupied it before others found it, it creates some interesting legal and moral struggles when trying to determine how they should be compensated for the oil, timber, and minerals that are taken from the land.
