Alaska ni boma likuru chomene ku U.S. ndipo lili na chigaŵa chikuru kuluska vigaŵa vitatu vikuruvikuru vya Texas, California, na Montana. Ndipo ni chigaŵa cha nambara 7 pa vyaru vyose pa charu chose chapasi. Ni boma lachitatu ilo lili na ŵanthu ŵachoko chomene mu U.S. State, kweni lili na ŵanthu 736,081 mu chaka cha 2020, ndipo ni boma ilo lili na ŵanthu ŵanandi chomene mu U.S. Msumba wa Juneau ndiwo msumba waciŵiri ukuru mu United States, ndipo msumba wakale wa Alaska, Sitka, ndiwo msumba ukuru comene mu United States. Pafupifupi hafu ya ŵanthu ŵa ku Alaska ŵakukhala mu tawuni ya Anchorage.

Ŵanthu ŵa ku Alaska ŵakamba kukhalako vyaka vinandi chomene, ndipo ŵanandi ŵakugomezga kuti malo agha ndigho ghakaŵa malo ghakwamba ghakuti ŵanthu ŵa ku North America ŵambe kukhalamo. Boma la Russia ndilo likaŵa lakwamba kukhazikiska maboma mu chigaŵa ichi mu vyaka vya m'ma 1700, ndipo pamasinda likakhazikiska charu cha Russia ku America, icho chikaŵa mu chigaŵa ichi. Mu 1867 caru ici cikaguliskika ku U.S. pa mtengo wa madola 7.2 miliyoni cifukwa ca ndalama zinandi ndiposo cifukwa ca masuzgo agho ghakaŵapo pakucita mulimo uwu. (equivalent to $ million in 2022). Malo agha ghakasintha kanandi waka pambere ŵandambe kughasazga kuŵa chigaŵa pa Meyi 11, 1912. Ndipo pa Janyuwale 3, 1959, yikazgoka boma la nambara 49.

Vinthu vyakuthupi vyakukwana vyawovwira Alaska kuŵa na ndalama zinandi pa munthu yumoza, ndipo bizinesi ya somba, ya gasi, na mafuta, ndivyo vikupangiska kuti Alaska yiŵe na ndalama zinandi. U.S Boma likupeleka malo ghanandi ku ŵasilikari na ku ŵakwendakwenda. Malo ghakujumpha hafu ya chigaŵa ichi ghali na nkhorongo, mapaki, na malo ghakusungira vinyama.

Ŵanthu ŵa ku Alaska ndiwo mbacoko comene mu caru cose ca U.S., ŵakujumpha 15 peresenti. Ŵanthu ŵa ku Alaska ŵakuyowoya viyowoyero vyakupambanapambana, ndipo ŵali na mazaza ghakuru pa ndyali.

Ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵa ku Alaska ŵakakhalanga kwenekuko vyaka vinandi pambere ŵanthu ŵa ku Europe ŵandafike. Kusanda viyowoyero na DNA uko kwacitikira pa malo agha, kwapeleka ukaboni wakuti ŵanthu ŵa ku North America ŵakakhala pa malo agho ghakaŵa pafupi na Bering. Ku malo ghakucemeka Upward Sun River mu Tanana Valley ku Alaska, ŵakasanga viwangwa vya bonda wa masabata ghankhondi na limoza. DNA ya mwana uyu yikalongora kuti wakaŵa wa mtundu unyake uwo ukaŵa wakupambana na mitundu yinyake iyo yikaŵako ku New World mu nyengo ya Pleistocene. Ben Potter, uyo ni nkhwantha ya vya m'mabwinja pa Yunivesite ya Alaska ku Fairbanks, ndiyo wakafukura viswaswa vya ŵanthu aŵa mu 2013 pa malo ghakuchemeka Upward Sun River.

Ŵanthu ŵa mtundu wa Tlingit ŵakamba kukhala mu malo agho mazuŵa ghano ni Southeast Alaska, British Columbia, na Yukon. Kweniso kumwera ca kumafumiro gha dazi kukaŵa ŵanthu ŵa mtundu wa Haida, awo sono ŵakamanyikwanga comene cifukwa ca maluso ghawo ghapadera. Ŵanthu ŵa mtundu wa Tsimshian ŵakiza ku Alaska kufuma ku British Columbia mu 1887, apo pulezidenti Grover Cleveland, ndipo pamasinda pulezidenti wa U.S. Ŵakazomerezgeka kukhala pa Chirwa cha Annette na kusanga tawuni ya Metlakatla. Ŵanthu ŵatatu aŵa, kweniso ŵanthu ŵanyake ŵa ku Northwest Coast, ŵakasuzgika na nthenda ya nthomba kwambira kuuyambiro wa vyaka vya m'ma 1800 m'paka m'ma 1800. Nthenda iyi yikakura comene mu vyaka vya m'ma 1830 na 1860, ndipo ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵakafwa.

Mu virwa vya Aleutian mukukhala ŵanthu ŵa mtundu wa Aleutian awo ŵakwenda mu nyanja, nangauli ndiwo ŵakaŵa ŵakwamba kuyuzgika na Ŵarussia. Kumanjiliro gha dazi na kumwera kwakumanjiliro gha dazi kwa Alaska ndiko kuli ŵanthu ŵa mtundu wa Yup'ik, ndipo ŵabali ŵawo ŵa mtundu wa Alutiiq ~ Sugpiaq ŵakukhala mu chigaŵa icho lero ni Southcentral Alaska. Ŵanthu ŵa mtundu wa Gwich'in awo ŵakukhala kumpoto kwa chigaŵa ichi mbanthu ŵa mtundu wa Athabaskan ndipo lero ŵakumanyikwa chomene chifukwa chakuti ŵakuthemba chomene nyama za mtundu wa caribou izo zili mu chigaŵa cha Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

Ŵanthu awo ŵakagwiranga nchito mu migodi na awo ŵakapenjanga golide ŵakakweranga mu nthowa ya Chilkoot mu 1898.

Ŵasayansi ŵanyake ŵakugomezga kuti ŵanthu ŵa ku Russia ndiwo ŵakamba kukhala ku Alaska mu vyaka vya m'ma 1600. Ŵanthu ŵanyake ŵakugomezga kuti mu 1648, ŵakwendeska sitima za Semyon Dezhnyov ŵakiza ku Alaska na kukhazikiska malo agha. Fundo iyi yikuthemba pa ukaboni wa Nikolai Daurkin, uyo wakaŵa mulembi wa vya mu caru ca Chukchi, ndipo wakaluta ku Alaska mu 1764-1765 ndipo wakayowoya za muzi unyake uwo ukaŵa mumphepete mwa Mlonga wa Kheuveren, uwo ukaŵa na "ŵanalume ŵavyoni" awo "ŵakalombanga ku vikozgo". Ŵasayansi ŵanyake ŵakuti Kheuveren ni Mlonga wa Koyuk.

Ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵakugomezga kuti sitima ya ku Europe ndiyo yikaŵa yakwamba kufika ku Alaska. Gabriel wakulongozgeka na M. S. Gvozdev na movwiri wake I. Fyodorov pa Ogasiti 21, 1732, pa ulendo wa A. F. Shestakov na Dmitry Pavlutsky (1729-1735). Ŵanthu ŵa ku Europe ŵakizaso ku Alaska mu 1741, apo Vitus Bering wakadangiliranga gulu la ŵasilikari ŵa ku Russia ilo likaluta ku Alaska pa sitima ya St. Peter. Wati wawelera ku Russia na vikumba vya viyuni ivyo ŵakaviwonanga kuti ni viwemi comene pa caru cose capasi, ŵamalonda ŵa vikumba ŵakamba kwambuka nyanja ya Siberia kuluta ku virwa vya Aleutian. Ŵanthu ŵakwambilira ŵa ku Europe ndiwo ŵakamba kukhala mu msumba uwu mu 1784.

Pakati pa 1774 na 1800, caru ca Spain cikaluta ku Alaska kanandi waka kuti cikapoke malo gha ku Pacific Northwest. Mu 1789, ŵanthu ŵa ku Spain ŵakazenga msumba wa Nootka Sound. Ŵanthu aŵa ŵakaluta ku malo ghanyake nga ni Valdez, Bucareli Sound, na Cordova. Pamanyuma, Russian-American Company yikambiska pulogiramu yikuru ya kukolonizga ŵanthu ŵa ku Russia mu vyaka vya m'ma 1800. Sitka, uyo kufuma mu 1804 mpaka 1867 wakacemekanga New Archangel, wakaŵa pa cirwa ca Baranof mu Alexander Archipelago, ico sono ni Southeast Alaska, ndipo wakaŵa msumba ukuru wa Russia America. Ndipo likaŵa likuru la caru ici nanga ni apo boma la United States likaŵapoka. Ŵarusiya ŵakakolonyapo yayi Alaska, ndipo nchito iyi yikaŵanga yakukondweska yayi. Mu vigaŵa vyose vya kumwera kwa Alaska, pali ukaboni wakuti ŵanthu ŵa ku Russia ŵakakhalanga mu malo agha.

William H. Mu 1867, Seward, uyo wakaŵa nduna ya boma la United States, wakadumbiskana na boma la Russia pa nkhani ya kugura Alaska (panji kuti Seward's Folly) pa mtengo wa $7.2 miliyoni. Themba la Russia Alexander II, Themba la Poland na Grand Duke wa Finland, nalo likakhumbanga kuguliska nyumba iyi, ndipo likaguliska pa March 30, 1867. Pakati pajumpha myezi yinkhondi na umoza, ŵabali ŵakafika ku Sitka ndipo ŵakanozga vyakuti ŵakamupeleke ku ŵasilikari. Ŵasilikari 250 ŵa ku United States ŵakaluta ku nyumba ya kazembe ku "Castle Hill", uko ŵasilikari ŵa ku Russia ŵakakhizga ndembera ya ku Russia na kukwezga ya ku United States. Pa Okutobala 18, zuŵa ili likukondwelera kuti ni Zuŵa la Alaska.

Pakwamba boma la Alaska likaŵa la ŵasilikari pera, ndipo likamba kuwusa nga ni chigaŵa mu 1884, ndipo kazembe wakimikikanga na pulezidenti wa United States. Mu Sitka mukaŵa khoti likuru la boma. Mu vyaka vinandi ivyo Alaska wakaŵa pasi pa ndembera ya United States, Sitka ndiwo ukaŵa msumba umo mukakhalanga ŵanthu ŵa ku America. Ŵakakhazikiska "boma la kanyengo kachoko", ilo likaŵa boma lakwamba ku Alaska, kweni likaŵa lakwamba yayi. Dango ilo likazomerezganga ŵanthu ŵa ku Alaska kuti ŵaŵe na mazaza gha msumba likapelekeka mu 1900, ndipo boma likaŵa na mazaza ghacoko waka mu misumba iyi, ndipo likaŵavya m'paka mu 1959.

Kufumira mu vyaka vya m'ma 1890 m'paka mu 1910, ŵanthu ŵakamba kupenja golide ku Alaska na ku Yukon. Mu 1912, boma la Alaska likazomerezgeka kuŵa chigaŵa. Msumba wa Alaska uwo ukaŵa ku Sitka m'paka mu 1906, ukasamukira kumpoto ku Juneau. Kuzenga nyumba ya kazembe wa Alaska kukayamba mu cilimika ici. Ŵanthu ŵa ku Europe awo ŵakafuma ku Norway na Sweden nawo ŵakamba kukhala ku Alaska, ndipo ŵakamba kugwira nchito ya ulovi na kudumura makuni.

Ŵasilikari ŵa ku U.S. ŵakwenda pa maji gha chiwuvi na chiwuvi pa nkhondo ya ku Attu mu Meyi 1943

Mu nyengo ya Nkhondo Yachiŵiri ya pa Charu Chose, nkhondo ya pa virwa vya Aleutian yikakhwaska virwa vya Attu, Agattu, na Kiska, ivyo vyose vikaŵa mu mawoko gha ŵasilikari ŵa Japan. Pa nyengo iyo caru cikaŵa mu mawoko gha ŵasilikari ŵa Japan, muzungu yumoza wa ku America na ŵaŵiri ŵa ku United States Navy ŵakakomeka pa Attu na Kiska, ndipo ŵanthu pafupifupi 50 ŵa mtundu wa Aleut na ŵasilikari ŵankhondi na ŵatatu ŵakakomeka ku Japan. Pafupifupi cigaŵa cimoza pa vigaŵa viŵiri vya Aleut vikafwa mu nyengo iyo ŵakasungikanga. Unalaska/Dutch Harbor na Adak ghakazgoka malo ghakuru gha ŵasilikari ŵa United States Army, United States Army Air Forces na United States Navy. Pulogiramu ya Lend-Lease ya ku United States yikacitiska kuti ndege za nkhondo za ku America zilute ku Fairbanks na ku Nome. Ŵapayiniya ŵa boma la Soviet ŵakatora ndege izi na kuluta nazo ku Germany kuti zikarwe nkhondo na Ŵasovieti. Kuzengeka kwa misasa ya ŵasilikari kukawovwira kuti ŵanthu ŵaŵe ŵanandi mu misumba yinyake ya ku Alaska.

Kuŵa boma la Alaska kukaŵa cinthu cakuzirwa comene kwa James Wickersham mu nyengo iyo wakaŵa mulara wa wupu wa malango. Pakati pajumpha vilimika vinandi, gulu la ŵanthu awo ŵakakhumbanga kuti boma liŵe lawo likamba kulimbikira comene, pamanyuma pa kudumbiskana za umo boma likwenera kuŵira mu 1946. Nyengo yikati yajumphapo, pakaŵaso wupu wa ku Alaska uwo ukazomerezga kuti charu ichi chiŵe na boma ndipo pamasinda pakaŵaso wupu unyake uwo ukazomerezga kuti boma ili liŵe na dango. Awo ŵakakolerananga na fundo yakuti boma limoza liŵe na mazaza pa charu chose, ŵakamba kulimbana na ŵandyali, comenecomene ku U.S. Ŵakaŵaso ku Alaska. Boma la U.S. likazomerezga kuti ŵaŵe na boma. Pa Julayi 7, 1958, wupu wa United States ukazomerezga kuti Alaska yiŵe boma.

Chindindindi cha pa Cinkhondi Cacitatu

Nkhani ikulu: 1964 Alaska earthquake

Pa Malichi 27, 1964, chindindindi chikuru chikakoma ŵanthu 133 ndipo chikaparanya mizi yinandi na vigaŵa vinyake vya mumphepete mwa nyanja. Cindindindi ici cikaŵa ca nambara 4 pa vindindindi vyakofya comene mu mdauko wose, ndipo apo cikacitikanga cikaŵa cikuru kufika pa 9.2 (nkhongono yake yikaŵa yikuru comene kuluska ya cindindindi ico cikacitika mu 1989 ku San Francisco). Nyengo ya zuŵa (5:36 pm), nyengo ya cilimika (masika) na malo agho kukacitikira cindindindi vyose vikazunulika kuti vikaponoska ŵanthu ŵanandi, comene-comene mu msumba wa Anchorage.

Chindindindi ichi chikaŵa chankhongono chomene ndipo chikachitika kwa maminiti ghanayi na masekondi 38, ndipo chikalutilira kuŵa chankhongono m'paka sono. Chiduli icho chikaŵa pa mtunda wa makilomita 970 chikaphulika nyengo yeneyiyo ndipo chikafika pa mtunda wa mamita 18, ndipo chikafumiska nkhongono izo zikaŵa kuti zakhalako kwa vyaka 500. Vinthu vinyake ivyo vikanangika pa malo agha, nga ni dongo, vikapangiska kuti vinthu vinyake viwoneke makora yayi. Ku Anchorage, nyumba zinandi zikaparanyika, ndipo nyumba zinyake zikaŵa na visulo (misewu, misewu ya m'mphepete mwa msewu, magesi, na vinthu vinyake ivyo ŵanthu ŵakapanga), chomenechomene mu malo agho kukaŵa mathipa. Malo ghanyake agho ghakaŵa pafupi na Kodiak, agho ghakaŵa pa mtunda wa makilomita 320 kumwera, ghakaŵa pachanya pa mtunda wa mamita 9. Kumwera chakumafumiro gha dazi kwa Anchorage, vigaŵa vya Turnagain Arm pafupi na Girdwood na Portage vikakhira mamita 2.4, ivyo vikakhumbikwiranga kuzengekaso na kuzura kuti nthowa ya Seward Highway yiŵe pachanya pa maji ghakututuka.

Ku Prince William Sound, ku Port Valdez kukawa chimphepo chikuru, ndipo ŵanthu 32 ŵakafwa. Pafupi na malo agha, tsunami uyo ukaŵa pachanya mamita 8.2 wakaparanya muzi wa Chenega, ndipo wakakoma ŵanthu 23 pa ŵanthu 68 awo ŵakakhalanga mu muzi uwu. Cigumula ico cikaŵako pamanyuma pa cindindindi cikakhwaska comene ŵanthu ŵa mu mizi ya Whittier, Seward, Kodiak, na mizi yinyake ya ku Alaska, kweniso ŵanthu na katundu wawo ku British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, na California. Tsunami yikanangaso vinthu ku Hawaii na ku Japan. Ŵakaphara kuti ku Florida na Texas kukaŵa mafunde agho ghakapangiska kuti kuŵe chindindindi.

Ku Alaska kukaŵavya soka likuru nga ni ili ilo likachitikapo mu chigaŵa icho mukaŵa ŵanthu ŵanandi, ndipo ŵakaŵavya vinthu vyakukwana kuti ŵamarane nalo. Mu msumba wa Anchorage, pa pempho la Lidia Selkregg, uyo wakumanya vya caru, boma la Anchorage na wupu wa Alaska State Housing Authority, likimika gulu la ŵasayansi 40, kusazgapo ŵasayansi ŵa vya caru, ŵasayansi ŵa vya dongo, na mainjiniya, kuti ŵawone umo caru cikanangikira mu msumba uwu. Gulu ili likalongozgekanga na Dr. Ruth A. M. Schmidt, ni pulofesa wa vya mlengalenga pa Yunivesite ya Alaska ku Anchorage. Ŵasayansi aŵa ŵakasangana na ŵanthu ŵanyake awo ŵakakhumbanga kuzenga Nyumba za Ufumu, ndipo ŵakakhumbanga kumanya ivyo vingaŵako munthazi kuti vinthu vileke kunangika. Pa Meyi 8, 1964, mwezi umoza kufuma apo cindindindi ici cikacitikira, gulu ili likalemba lipoti.

Ŵasilikari ŵa ku United States, awo ŵali na ŵasilikari ŵanandi ku Alaska, nawo ŵakanjilirapo kuti ŵawovwire ŵasilikari aŵa. Ku U.S. Ŵasilikari ŵakambaso kukumana na ŵanthu ŵa mu vigaŵa vinyake 48 vya mu United States, ndipo ŵakatuma ŵasilikari kuti ŵawovwire ŵanthu ŵa mu Anchorage. Ŵakatumizga ŵasilikari ku Valdez. Pakupulikira ulongozgi wa ŵasilikari na ŵalongozgi ŵa boma, Pulezidenti Lyndon B. Zuŵa lakulondezgapo pamanyuma pa cindindindi ici, Johnson wakayowoya kuti Alaska yose ni malo ghakofya comene. Ku U.S. Ŵasilikari ŵa ku United States Ŵasilikari ŵa ku Coast Guard ŵakatumizga sitima ku mizi yakutali kuti ziŵawovwire mwaluŵiro. Nyengo yiheni na kuwona makora yayi vyatimbanizga mulimo wa kuponoska na kuwona ivyo vikacitika zuŵa lakulondezgapo, kweni pa Sabata, pa zuŵa la 29, vinthu vikaŵa makora, ndipo ŵapolisi ŵakagwiliskira nchito ndege za helikoputa na za kupenja ivyo vikacitika. Mwaluŵiro, gulu la ŵasilikari likayamba kutumizga katundu ku Alaska, ndipo paumaliro likayegha makilogiramu 1,170,000 gha vyakurya na vinthu vinyake. Mulembi munyake wa nyuzipepara, zina lake Genie Chance, wakawovwirapo pa mulimo wa kovwira ŵanthu, ndipo wakakhala pa wayilesi ya KENI mu Anchorage kwa maora 24 kuti wapharazge uthenga wa bata kufuma pa malo ghake gha kanyengo kachoko mu Anchorage Public Safety Building. Mulara wa ŵapolisi mu msumba uwu ndiyo wakamuŵika kuŵa mulaŵiliri wa civikiliro ca ŵantu. Chance wakapeleka nkhani zakukhwaskana na masoka agho ghakacitika pamanyuma pa cindindindi ca nkhongono 9.2, ndipo wakaŵa mulomo wa ofesi ya civikiliro ca ŵantu, wakakolerananga na ivyo vikacitikanga, wakasazgirangako vinthu ivyo vikakhumbikwanga mu cikaya, wakasazgirangako uthenga wakukhwaskana na malo ghakubisamamo na cakurya cakunozgekera, wakaphalirangako ŵabwezi ŵake uthenga wakovwira, ndiposo wakawovwiranga kuti mbumba ziŵeso pamoza.

Nyengo yikati yajumphapo, U.S. Gulu la ŵasilikari la Army Corps of Engineers likamba mulimo wa kunozga misewu, kuwuskamo viswaswa, na kuzenga matawuni ghanyake agho ghakaŵa kuti ghabwangandulika, ndipo ndalama izo ŵakamalira pa mulimo uwu zikaŵa madola 110 miliyoni. Gulu la Western Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center likapangika kuti limazgore mwaluŵiro na soka ili. Boma la United States likagwiliskira nchito ndalama izo zikaŵa mu vyaru ivyo vikaŵa mu suzgo kuti liwezge nyumba izo zikabwangandulika. Ndalama izi zikawovwira kuti Alaska yiŵe na ndalama zakukwana kuti yikhalenge makora m'paka apo ŵakasanga mafuta ghanandi ku Prudhoe Bay. Boma la U.S. ndilo likalangura. Dipatimenti Yakuvikilira Boma la Alaska, na ŵasilikari ŵa boma la Alaska, ŵali kukhazikiska wupu wakuwona vya masoka ghacilengiwa kuti wovwire para kwacitika masoka ghacilengiwa.

Kuphulika kwa mafuta ku Alaska

Mu 1968, mafuta ghakasangika ku Prudhoe Bay, ndipo mu 1977, ŵakamalizga kuzenga Trans-Alaska Pipeline System. Kufuma mu 1980 kuya munthazi, ndalama izo maboma ghakusanga cifukwa ca kuguliska mafuta zikovwira ndalama zinandi za boma.

Mafuta ghakaŵa pa malibwe agho ghakaŵa mumphepete mwa nyanja ya Prince William Sound.

Kweni mafuta ghekha ndigho ghakaŵa ghakukhumbikwa yayi ku Alaska. Mu vyaka vya m'ma 1900, ŵanthu ŵa ku Alaska ŵakamba kusanga ndalama zinandi chomene pa nkhani ya vyamwendekero. Ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵakamba kuluta kukawona malo agha pamanyuma pa Nkhondo Yachiŵiri ya Caru Cose, apo ŵasilikari awo ŵakakhalanga ku malo agha ŵakawelera kukwawo na kuyowoya kuti malo agha ngakutowa comene. Msewu wa Alcan, uwo ukazengeka mu nyengo ya nkhondo, na Alaska Marine Highway System, ivyo vikamara mu 1963, vikawovwira kuti ŵanthu ŵa mu boma ili ŵafike makora ku malo agha.

Kumwera kwakumanjiliro gha dazi kwa Alaska kuli ŵanthu ŵachoko waka, ndipo kuli mtunda wa makilomita 800 kufuma ku Nyanja ya Bering. Ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵakukhala mumphepete mwa nyanja. Chirwa cha Kodiak nacho chili kumwera ca kumanjiliro gha dazi. Mlonga ukuru wa Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, uwo ngumoza mwa milonga yikuru chomene pa charu chose chapasi, uli mu chigaŵa ichi. Vigaŵa vinyake vya Alaska vikupanga chigaŵa cha Southwest, ndipo Aleutian Islands nayo yikupanga chigaŵa ichi.

Aleutian Islands

Nkhani ikulu: Aleutian Islands

Nangauli virwa vya Aleutian vili kumafumiro gha dazi kwa International Date Line (nthowa iyi yikapelekeka ku United States apo yikagura Alaska), kweni vigaŵa ivi vikudumura mzere wa 180 wa meridian, ndipo vili na malo gha kumanjiliro gha dazi (Amatignak) na kumafumiro gha dazi (Semisopochnoi.) ku United States.

Nangauli virwa vya Aleutian ni vigaŵa vya ku Southwest Alaska, kweni nyengo zinyake vikupambanako na virwa vinyake chifukwa vikupambana na vyaru vinyake. Mu virwa ivi muli virwa vyakujumpha 300 ivyo vikupangika na mapiri ndipo vikunjilira mu Nyanja ya Pacific, mtunda wa makilomita ghakujumpha 1,900. Virwa vinyake vikuŵa ku chigaŵa cha kumafumiro gha dazi kwa charu, kweni mzere wa deti uwu ŵakadeka kumanjiliro gha dazi kwa 180° kuti charu chose cha North America chiŵe pa zuŵa limoza. Pa virwa ivi, viŵiri, Attu na Kiska, vikapokeka na ŵasilikari ŵa caru ca Japan mu Nkhondo Yaciŵiri ya Caru Cose.

Land ownership

Kuyana na lipoti la mu Okutobala 1998 la United States Bureau of Land Management, pafupifupi 65% ya Alaska ni ya boma la U.S. ndipo yikupwelelereka na boma nga ni malo gha ŵanthu wose, kusazgapo nkhorongo zinandi, malo ghakusungirako vyakumera na vinyama. Pa vigaŵa ivi, vyaru ivyo vikwendeskeka na wupu wa Bureau of Land Management ni vyakukwana mahekitala 35 miliyoni, panji kuti 23.8 peresenti ya charu chose cha United States. Malo ghakusungirako vinyama ku Arctic ghakupwelelereka na United States Fish and Wildlife Service. Malo agha ghakukwana mahekitala 6.5 miliyoni ndipo ni malo ghakuru chomene pa charu chose.

Pa malo ghakukhalako, boma la Alaska lili na malo ghakukwana mahekitala 41 miliyoni. Chigaŵa chinyake cha malo agha chikupelekeka ku vigaŵa ivyo vyazunulika pachanya apa, kuyana na malango agho ghakupika ku vigaŵa ivyo vyazunulika pachanya apa.

Nyengo ya ku Anchorage na kumwera kwa Alaska ni yiwemi chomene chifukwa malo agha ghali pafupi na nyanja. Nangauli vula yikuwa viŵi yayi ku malo agha kuluska kumwera ca kumafumiro gha dazi kwa Alaska, kweni kukuwa chiwuvi chinandi, ndipo nyengo zinyake kukuŵavya vula. Pa avareji, Anchorage yikupokera 16 in (41 cm) ya vula pa chaka, na kuzingilira 75 in (190 cm) ya chiwuvi, nangauli kuli vigaŵa vinyake kumwera kwa pakati uko kukuŵa chiwuvi chinandi. M'nyengo ya chihanya, malo agha ghakaŵanga ghakuthukira chomene.

Nyengo ya kumanjiliro gha dazi kwa Alaska yikuthemba comene na Nyanja ya Bering na Gulf of Alaska. Ku chigaŵa cha kumwera kwakumanjiliro gha dazi kwa charu ichi kuli nyengo yakuzizima chomene, ndipo kumpoto kwake kuli nyengo yakuzizima chomene. Ku malo agha kukazizimanga comene yayi cifukwa kukaŵa kutali. Mu cigaŵa ici muli vula zakupambanapambana. Chigaŵa icho chili kumpoto kwa Seward Peninsula kufika ku chigodobu cha Mlonga wa Kobuk (i.e., chigaŵa icho chili kuzingilizga Kotzebue Sound) ni mapopa, ndipo vigaŵa vinyake vikuŵa na chivula chambura kujumpha 25 cm pa chaka. Kweni ku vigaŵa vinyake vya pakati pa Dillingham na Bethel, vula yikuwa pafupifupi masentimita 250.

Nyengo ya ku Alaska njakukhoma comene. Nyengo zinyake ku Alaska kukuzizima chomene kweniso kukuzizima chomene mu chigaŵa cha Fairbanks. Mu nyengo ya chihanya, nyengo yikutentha kufika pa 90 °F (pakati pa 30 °C), apo mu nyengo ya chiwuvi, nyengo yikutentha kufika pa -60 °F (-51 °C).

The Trans-Alaska Pipeline transports oil, Alaska's most financially important export, from the North Slope to Valdez. The heat pipes in the column mounts are pertinent, since they disperse heat upwards and prevent melting of permafrost.

Alaska proven oil reserves peaked in 1973 and have declined more than 60% since then.

Alaskan oil production peaked in 1988 and has declined more than 75% since then.

Alaska wali na magesi ghanandi, nangauli mafuta ghali kumara. Mafuta na gasi vikasangika ku Alaska North Slope (ANS) na Cook Inlet basins, kweni kuyana na Energy Information Administration, mu Febuluwale 2014 Alaska yikakhala pa malo ghachinayi pa charu chose pa nkhani ya mafuta, pamanyuma pa Texas, North Dakota, na California. Munda wa Prudhoe Bay ku North Slope wa ku Alaska ndiwo uli na mafuta ghanandi chomene ku United States, ndipo ukupangiska mafuta ghakukwana 400,000 m3 pa zuŵa, nangauli kuuyambiro wa chaka cha 2014, malo gha Bakken ku North Dakota ghakafumiskanga mafuta ghakukwana 140,000 m3 pa zuŵa. Mu 2014, mafuta ghakukwana mamita 240,000 pa zuŵa ghakafumanga mu malo ghakupambanapambana gha mafuta agho ghakaŵa kuti ghasungika kwa vyaka vinandi.

Msewu wa Trans-Alaska Pipeline unganyamura mafuta ghakukwana mamita 330,000 pa zuŵa, uwo ni ukuru chomene ku United States. Kweniso ku Alaska kuli malibwe ghanandi gha malasha agho ghali mu malo agho ŵanthu ŵakugwiliskira ntchito mafuta ghakununkhira. Wupu wa United States Geological Survey ukati ku Alaska kuli gasi la makubikiti pafupifupi 2 420 pa malo ghanyake agho ghakusangika yayi. Kweniso ku Alaska kuli maji ghanandi agho ghakwenda mu milonga. Malo ghanandi gha mumphepete mwa nyanja ku Alaska ghangaŵa na magesi ghakufuma ku mphepo na magesi ghanyake.

Vinthu vinandi mu Alaska vikuthemba pa mafuta gha dizilo agho ghakutora ndalama zinandi chomene, ndipo ghakovwira kuti nyumba ziŵe na malo ghakupumulirapo, magalimoto, magesi, na ungweru. Nangauli magesi ghakufuma ku mphepo na maji ghakuthandazgika viŵi yayi, kweni ivyo ŵakayowoya vyakukhwaskana na magesi mu vigaŵa vyose (nga ni magesi agho ghali na mtengo upusu) vikawoneka kuti ni vyamahara yayi (pa nyengo iyo lipoti ili likalembekeranga, mu 2001) chifukwa chakuti mafuta ghakuthandazgika pachoko (kujumpha 50¢ pa galoni), mtunda ni utali, ndipo ŵanthu mbacoko. Mtengo wa mafuta ghakukwana magaloni ghaŵiri mu matawuni gha mu Alaska mazuŵa ghano ngwakujumpha pa avareji ya mu charu ichi na masenti 30 panji 60; ndipo mu mizi na mizi mitengo ya mafuta yikukwera chomene, kweni yikupambana chomene chifukwa cha ndalama zakwendeskera magalimoto, nyengo iyo mafuta ghakugwiliskirika ntchito, malo ghakupangira mafuta, na vinthu vinyake.

Permanent Fund

Alaska Permanent Fund ni ndalama izo boma likupeleka ku ŵanthu awo ŵakukhumba kugura mafuta, ndipo likakhazikiskika mu 1976 na ŵanthu awo ŵakakhumbanga kuti boma liŵe na ndalama zinandi zakugulira mafuta gha petulo. Nduna Keith Miller ndiyo yikanozga fundo iyi pambere ŵandagule nyumba ya Prudhoe Bay mu 1969, chifukwa wakawopanga kuti wupu wa malango uzamugwiliskira nchito ndalama zose izo zikusangika pa malonda agha (zakujumpha $900 miliyoni) nyengo yimoza. Pamanyuma, Kazembe Jay Hammond na Hugh Malone, awo ŵakimiranga chigaŵa cha Kenai, ŵakakhozgera fundo iyi. Kwamba nyengo iyo, ndalama izi zikovwira kuti vinthu vyendenge makora pa ndyali, chifukwa zikovwira kuti ndalama izo zikaŵanga mu thumba la ndalama izi zileke kunjira mu thumba linyake.

Dango la boma la Alaska likalembeka kuti ŵanthu ŵaleke kugwiliskira nchito ndalama za boma pa vinthu vinyake. Ndalama izi zikaŵanga zakupambana na zinyake, comenecomene cifukwa ca kuleka kugomezgana kwa ndyali uko kukaŵako pa nyengo iyo yikapangikanga. Kufuma pa ndalama zakukwana $734,000 izo zikaŵa mu thumba, thumba ili lakura kufika pa $50 biliyoni cifukwa ca ndalama za mafuta ndiposo ndondomeko za ndalama izo zikuŵikika mu thumba. Ndalama zinandi, usange ni zose yayi, zikugwiliskirika nchito mu vyaru vinyake. Ivi vyapangiska kuti ŵandyali ŵa ku Alaska ŵayowoye kanandi waka kuti wupu uwu ucitenge ndalama ku Alaska, kweni ivi vikacitikapo viŵi yayi.

Kwamba mu 1982, ndalama izo zikafumanga ku ndalama izo zikaŵanga zikusazgikira chaka chilichose, zikaŵanga za ŵanthu ŵa ku Alaska awo ŵakaŵa na mwaŵi wa kusanga ndalama iyi. Mu 1982, ndalama izi zikaŵanga $1,000 (pakuti zikaŵa zakukwana vyaka vitatu, chifukwa cha mulandu uwo ŵakadumura pa nkhani ya ndalama izo zikaŵanga zikusazgikira). Cilimika cilicose, wupu wa boma ukupatura 8% ku ndalama izo munthu wakusanga, ndipo 3% yikuŵikaso mu ndalama izo munthu wakusanga, ndipo 5% iyo yakhalako yikugaŵikira ŵanthu wose ŵa ku Alaska. Kuti munthu waŵe na mwaŵi wa kupokera ndalama za ndalama izo boma likupeleka, wakwenera kuŵa kuti wakhala mu boma kwa myezi 12, wakhalenge mu boma nyengo zose, kweniso waleke kuŵa na mulandu wa ku khoti panji wa ku khoti la milandu iyo yikupangiska kuti munthu waleke kupokera ndalama.
