In response, reflect on this revised statement. Describe the ways it shows the complexity of the event, and provide a suggestion for how they can further develop the statement or the supporting examples.

Revised Thesis: The Alaskan Native Claims Settlement Act and the Native corporation system have had a complex impact on Alaskan Natives, bringing both benefits and challenges. The ANCSA provided economic opportunities and land ownership but it also introduced challenges related to corporate governance and cultural preservation. The passage of ANCSA was influenced by several historical events. The first event was the discovery of oil in Prudhoe Bay in the late 1960s which heightened the urgency to resolve land claims. This was because the United States government and private companies were eager to develop oil fields. Secondly, the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s brought attention to the rights of indigenous people, creating a political climate more conducive to addressing Native claims. Finally, the Alaska Sisterhood Act of 1959 granted Alaska statehood and included provisions for land selection that conflicted with the Native land claims. All of these factors combined shaped the complex outcomes of ANCSA for Alaska Natives
