Alaska: vast state with rich resources and land claims
Alaska is the largest U.S. state with about 500 000 residents. It joined the union in 1959 after a 1867 purchase from Russia. The region is rich in oil gold fish and timber and has a history of land claim disputes with native groups. In 1971 the U S government settled many claims with Inuits Aleuts and Indians.
