Abstract

This paper investigates the historical context of ecotourism and ethnotourism in Alaska, its roots in Sheldon Jackson, and the far-reaching effects of Jackson's involvement up to now. This will be done by explaining ecotourism and its establishment, which excluded Alaska Native populations. We then examine ethnotourism in Alaska and how it shaped and portrayed the Indigenous population. Last, we will explore the effects of these forms of eco- and ethnotourism today and how the Alaska Native community is working to change the narrative. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
