William Hensley:The Treaty of Cession

I totally agree with him on this subject "why had not the 7 1/2 million been paid to the Alaskan Natives, and Eskimos?Instead it was paid to the fellow Russians for no reason, because they claimed the land? Alaska, and Russia should start a media war, to see who gets the land, and if Alaska wins ,then Russia can refund all the money that they got for free? Oh well i'm pretty sure that this will never happen in American, Russian, and Alaskan history.

    William Hensley gave us a voice. And that were to happen in history we would win because natives has been here for many many years. We have been using the land for substiances, traditions, and our culture. So I think that if that were ever happen we would win.

    You have a really good point there and I totally agree with both of you, Alaska would win and they should see who really deserved that money. I also agree that it isn't going to happen. I just find it interesting that that's the case though because ANSCA was fighting for Alaskan Natives and Eskimo rights, and the Russians got all the money, I don't see how that makes sense, but an interesting thing to compare and contrast.

    Media war? Like "Hey, that 7.5 million dollars is ours! You did this to us and you did that, so in return we want money?" If that were to happen, I'm sure most people would definitely side with us, because of the things the Russians have done and brought upon Alaska Natives as a whole, wasn't very beneficial.
