The people of Alaska had to suffer a lot and were forced to give up their lands and were also subjected to forced assimilation.

However, huge reservoirs of oil were found in Alaska and as the land became oil-rich, the government proposed the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act in 1971. According to this Act, people of Alaska who were natives were given lands that were rich in resources. Also, a huge sum of cash money was given to the natives to compensate for the losses earlier.
