The Community Development Quota Program: Inequity and Failure in Privatization Policy
I. INTRODUCTION The island of Kiska lies at the western end of the Aleutian Islands -a chain of islands lying in an almost perfect arc between the northern Pacific Ocean and the Bering Sea. Evidence of ancient communities and more recent conflict can be found here in the form of 8,000 year old stone...

Since that time, Aleuts have struggled to maintain their communities though faced with continued exploitation of marine resources and intrusion by Russian and United States governments. In the face of adversity, Aleutian villages have been able to maintain their cultures and communities through, among other things, the practice of subsistence.
