Sorensen, Connor; And Others
The report is a finding aid to the sources which document the 1937 federal policy decision mandating that 50% of the enrollees in the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in Alaska must be Alaska Natives and provides a list of the Native CCC projects in Alaska. The finding aid section is organized according to the location of the collections and includes the name and address of the agency housing the information, file number and size, and a brief file synopsis. Below each entry are listed the names of significant people and organizations involved in the decision to expand the CCC. A summary of interviews with Judson Brown and Robert R. Martin, Sr., individuals directly involved in the effort to expand the CCC, are also included in the report. The list of 202 projects is organized alphabetically under 55 locations. The year of each project (from 1937-1940) is indicated. Projects ranged from building airfields, reindeer corrals, and reindeer herder's shelters to totem restoration, schoolhouse repair, and predator control. (NEC)
