Urbanization imperils agriculture by converting farmland into uncultivable impervious surfaces and other uses that limit land productivity.
After the United States’ purchase of Alaska from Russia in 1867, Alaska Native lands have existed in a legal state of aboriginal title, whereby the land rights of its traditional occupants could be extinguished by Congress at any time.
