| Shrnutí: | Thesis examines the impact of western civilization on the indigenous people of the western Alaskan region. Within the overview of historical development of indigenous whaling in Alaska (that serves as a basis for further reasoning), the period of commercial whaling is focused on to underline the radical cultural changes in the thousand-year history of indigenous people of Alaska.
