In addition, there are 246 federally recognized tribal governments and one federal Indian reservation. (See Alaska Native tribal governments Alaska has 16 boroughs (including unified municipalities, created when when a borough and all cities located within it unite in a single unit of government, as has happened in Anchorage, Juneau, and Sitka), which act much like counties in other states. There are two classes of boroughs, both of which have mandatory powers of education, land use planning, and tax assessment and collection. Both classes have separately elected borough assemblies and school boards. The major difference between the first and second-class boroughs is in how they may acquire other powers. Additionally, there are 11 census areas in the state which have no borough government due to sparse population. Aleutians East Borough Municipality of Anchorage . The Municipality of Anchorage is a unified home rule municipality created in 1975 through the unification of the governments of the City of Anchorage and the Greater Anchorage Area Borough, making Anchorage one of the largest municipalities in the nation, encompassing nearly 1,955 square miles from Eklutna in the north to Girdwood and Portage in the south. As a unified government, the Municipality of Anchorage is responsible for services provided in other areas by both a city and a borough (or, in other states, by a city and a county).

[T]he banking industry has destroyed the timber industry here on the lower Kenai Peninsula. They closed down the chip market for our dead trees and now we have nowhere to go. They have put many of my neighbors into bankruptcy and ignore any requests for help to get things going again. National Bank of Alaska took over an AIDEA loan for about $2.7 million and we feel they should have some responsibility to our community as a follow-up on this loan. It is way too big for us and bank personnel (Rick Owens) are grabbing everything without regard to the outcome...We do know things are not right and NBA has caused it. Most believe because of the proposed sale [of NBA to Wells Fargo. More The bark beetle has hit the Kenai Peninsula forest hard and a very large portion of our trees are dead and in such a condition that they are only marketable for chips. With this condition, [local residents] worked for and received a loan from the state for storage and loading facilities to be located on the Homer spit for the Asian market. Some time after it was in operation, NBA stepped in and took over the state loan and started working with Brown's company Circle DE Pacific.

Extractions: Anchorage Daily News Published: April 8, 2002 One talk was titled "White People Think Heritage' Is a Bunch of Old Buildings." Vast stretches of Southeast Alaska would have been dry while glaciers locked up the Interior, enabling ancient people to move south, possibly in skin boats, according to one report. Other scientists presented information about excavations at village sites throughout the region. Archaeologist E. James Dixon, of the University of Colorado Museum, conducted a survey of glaciers and snowfields in the northern Wrangell and Saint Elias mountains based on an analysis of habitat, wildlife surveys and historic trails. He found 32 sites with evidence of animal or human use at the toe of glaciers or in high-elevation snowfields. One site even produced horseshoe nails and horse hoof rinds the remnants of a midglacier shoeing operation during the Gold Rush. At the time, Maschner added later, it would have been the largest settlement in the Arctic, suggesting a sophisticated, stratified society that had worked out the logistics for food gathering, waste management and land use. Yet Adamagan gradually disappeared, with most traces consumed by the tundra more than 1,000 years ago. Why? Though no one can know for sure, Maschner's students and associates found clues in rising sea levels and changing coastal geography. For instance, a spit closed off access to the Bering Sea, creating a lake where there had once been a tidal channel.

Extractions: As you enter Glacier Bay in Southeast Alaska you will cruise along shorelines completely covered by ice just 200 years ago. Explorer Captain George Vancouver found Icy Strait choked with ice in 1794, and Glacier Bay was barely an indented glacier. That glacier was more than 4000 ft. thick, up to 20 miles or more wide, and extended more than 100 miles to the St.Elias Range of mountains. By 1879 naturist John Muir found that the ice had retreated 48 miles up the bay. By 1916 the Grand Pacific Glacier headed Tarr inlet 65 miles from Glacier Bay's mouth. SUCH RAPID RETREAT IS KNOWN NOWHERE ELSE ON EARTH. Scientists have documented it, hoping to learn how glacial activity relates to climate changes. Glacier Bay National Park includes 16 tidewater glaciers:12 actively calve icebergs into the bay. The show can be spectacular. As water undermines the ice fronts, great blocks of ice up to 200 feet high break loose and crash into the water. The Johns Hopkins Glacier calves such volumes of ice that it is seldom possible to approach its ice cliffs closer than about 2 miles.
Extractions: Saguaro National Park is located in southern Arizona, near the growing city of Tucson, the state's second largest city. More than 900,000 people live in Tucson's metropolitan area. Saguaro National Park is located in the eastern portion of the Sonoran Desert ( see map ). The Sonoran Desert is found in southern Arizona and northern Mexico, edging into southern California. The adjacent Colorado Desert (named after the river) in southern California, is considered by some experts to be a subdivision of the Sonoran Desert. The Colorado Desert also crosses over into Arizona and extends down into Baja California. The saguaro cacti is probably the most famous plant and symbol of the Sonoran Desert. It cannot be found anywhere else in the world. It occurs throughout much of the Sonoran Desert's range, but does not occur in the Colorado Desert. Saguaro National Park (named after the cactus) contains exceptional stands of saguaro cacti, and their protection is one of the main reasons for establishment of the park. The geography of Saguaro National Park is unique in that the city of Tucson effectively divides the park into two divisions, east and west (
