Cultural Politics and the Mass Media: Alaska Native Voices (review) 21-N3647-REV 11/28/05 11:11 AM Page 713 And it is he who invites us to rethink, and remap, literally and figuratively, the boundaries and paths that can guide us to a brighter future.

Curtis, University of North Carolina at Pembroke Patrick J. Daley and Beverly A. James present a series of five case studies where Alaska Natives have used newspapers, radio, and television media of mass com- munication as a means to tell their stories. While the authors focus chronologi- cally on selected experiences of the Alaska Natives from the 1880s through 1990s, these examples illustrate the more universal difficulties Indigenous peoples face in preserving culture, place, identity, and way of life in a dominant white culture. According to the authors, Alaska has the highest percentage of Indigenous peoples in the country at 15.6 percent of the population. The ninety-eight thou- sand people make up 278 villages of traditional communities and are divided into seven major ethnic groups. Seventy percent live in rural areas and depend on the land.
