The purpose of this paper is to describe and examine the influences of the human-induced environmental changes on the indigenous communities. Native peoples worldwide have often accepted the status of victims, while they have strategically connected to outside societies in the global system. In Alaska, most natives are American citizens, however they resolved issues through dialogue and negotiation with the American authorities. Their social conditions have much in common with those of other indigenous peoples in the world. Therefore it is important to demonstrate that environmental issues are not only the short-term and direct damages but also the long-term and indirect tribulations for the native societies through the explication of process for their immigration under constraint.
Additionally this paper considers the possibilities and problems of the community based co-management of the maritime resources. The implementation of harmonious administration of natural resources is very difficult because of the complicated interests in the fisheries, although it is appropriate measure to consolidate the sustainable and mutually-beneficial schemes of environmental protection.
