Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Although the information presented in this learning block is not included in the question, it is reasonable to conclude that ANCSA led to economic benefits for white Alaskans as well as for Natives. ANCSA refers to the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act. This was one of the largest land claim settlements in United States history, and it was designed to deal with Native claims in Alaska.
