I am currently teaching a course at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks called, The History of Substance Abuse in Alaska. There is much available but it takes a good bit of digging to get it from old manuscripts etc. If you are interested in words and their history read Stuart Flexner, I Hear America Talking and other writings. If you want a wonderful theory on the etiology of CD in the Native Alaskan read Harold Napoleon's Yu'Ya"Raq: The Way of the Human Being. Guy Patterson, in frozen Fairbanks
