Eskimo family sent back to White Mountain after Cleveland relocation
William S Lincoln and his family left White Mountain Alaska to Cleveland in 1967 under the BIA relocation program. He struggled with welfare fiscal challenges and job losses, finding the American dream unattainable in a city setting. The Lincolns were returned to Alaska after local and federal officials concluded it was in the family’s best interest. Mary Lincoln opposed the move, while BIA officials noted retraining options that were not pursued.
