Consider using search terms like Alaska Native Corporations, Alaska, land claims, Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act, etc. as you explore the library's subscription databases and the selected outside websites with quality digitized primary source collections. If you can identify any key figures from the time period, you can use their names as keywords as well. Keep in mind that many databases and websites will also have a date filter that you can use to ensure that you are looking at the right time period in history.
