The study focuses on three main variables, (economic activity, employment opportunity, and inflation) which may be expected to change significantly in the Norton Sound region of Alaska as a result of OCS activities. Five primary categories (demography, economics, social organization, values and attitudes, and infrastructure) were studied. Field data were collected from 82 families in the villages of Savoonga, Nome, Golovin, Unalakleet, and Emmoank. Some primary data from Alakanuk and Gambell were also used in portion of the analysis. The region lacks the geographical, infrastructural, commercial, and other economic assets to attract offshore industries and workers.
