          Times or browse through it with the click of your mouse. The scrapbook 
          is setup in chronological order as to follow the development and role 
          of the ANCSA during the late 1960's and into the early 1970's. The articles 
          and editorials included are meant to relay the need and importance of 
          the Alaska Native Land Claims Act and to follow its progress over the 
          years. Key political figures such as Ted Stevens, William Hensley and 
          Emil Notti provide content for many of these archived relics from the 
          Times.  As well as news articles there are many old pictures, 
          advertisements and notices which also give an interesting glimpse of 
          the past.
