It’s December 16th. This day in 1971, Richard Nixon signed the Alaska Natives Settlement Act, which established a new set of treaties and financial structures for Alaskan tribes — unlike any other arrangement in the so-called “lower 48.”

Jody, NIki, and Kellie discuss how the structure of the act meant that tribes would now be embracing, and contending with, American-style capitalism.
