Abstract
Since arriving at the University of Alaska, Anchorage in 1973, I have been involved in projects related to various facets of Alaskan public policy. I have engaged in policy-related research and applied work in Alaska ill the following sequence; in 1975, on contract to the United States Department of the Interior to prepare the draft Environmental Impact Statement on human and cultural resources for an oil lease sale in the Gulf of Alaska; in 1976, as a consultant to the Alaska State Commission for Human Rights; in 1979, as faculty advisor and project designer of a National Science Foundation funded research project which attempted to analyze the adaptations of elderly Native Alaskans to the urban Alaskan environment; in 1980, as an expert witness on behalf of an Alaskan Eskimo village corporation in a legal suit concerning water rights. None of these endeavors involved working through so many different layers and kinds of public and private agencies as has the study of "displaced" Alaskan youth discussed in this article.
