Alaska Film Archives - UAF | Byron Mallott on ANCSA (1985) @alaskafilmarchives | Uploaded November 2021 | Updated October 2024, 4 hours ago.
Byron Mallott, as CEO of the Sealaska Corporation, shares his thoughts about the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act in a segment from this 1985 news program. Mallott (1943 - 2020) was an Alaska Native leader of Tlingit heritage who served as lieutenant governor of Alaska from 2014 to 2018. Earlier in his career, he also served as mayor of Yakutat and Juneau, president of the Alaska Federation of Natives and executive director of the Alaska Permanent Fund.
This clip is from a 1985 Alaska Review/Focus North program titled "Bearing Witness." The full program examines the Alaska Native Review Commission, headed by Thomas Berger of Canada, which performed an independent review of the 1971 Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act on behalf of Native groups in Alaska (Color/Sound/U-Matic videotape).
Airing from 1976 to 1987, Alaska Review was the first statewide public affairs television program in Alaska. The show was designed to explore public policy issues confronting Alaska, and to assist citizens in making decisions about the future of their land. Produced by Independent Public Television, Inc., (IPTV), the series eventually consisted of 16 one-hour shows, 46 half-hour shows, and one three-hour special broadcast. Funded through the Alaska Humanities Forum and State of Alaska, the series won multiple awards for public service and educational programming. IPTV dissolved in 1988. Videotapes for all finished productions and raw footage were later moved to the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF), where they became housed with the Alaska Film Archives, a unit of the Alaska and Polar Regions Collections & Archives department in the Rasmuson Library at UAF, shortly after the unit was founded in 1993. The Alaska Film Archives is currently seeking funding to preserve and digitize all of the original full interviews gathered in the making of the Alaska Review series. Copies of finished productions are also held by Alaska State Library Historical Collections in Juneau. For more information, please contact the Alaska Film Archives at University of Alaska Fairbanks.
This sequence contains excerpts from AAF-5004 from the Alaska Review collection held by the Alaska Film Archives, a unit of the Alaska and Polar Regions Collections & Archives Department in the Elmer E. Rasmuson Library, University of Alaska Fairbanks. For more information please contact the Alaska Film Archives.
