to buy new land and lease it. investors with no ties to the region are on a buying spree and that bothers him then they don't have a gun i guess the development began and actually wasn't with the financial crisis when investors bought land it drove the prices up in one way we're at an advantage because the value of our assets increased but of course we don't want to sell our assets we want to keep farming here i want to be on the show i thought i already have i have a few years of my shows me a list of the investors names for each operation they receive millions of euros in e.u. subsidies. among them are investment funds international furniture retailers and family holding companies no one from the list once to comment on camera but one of them has told me that he owns fifteen thousand hectors that are worth one hundred seventy million euros. for him this real estate means security in case of another financial. crisis in germany the vast tracts of land are located in the eastern part of the country but there are a

i find it private land and federal land. it seems to me that there is great cooperation with the focus being on management of the wildlife. we have taken up most of the top two predators in maryland and for example, the white tailed deer are almost to the nuisance stage. they eat my crops in my yard and my neighbors yard. i think the emphasis should be on properly managing the herds and not necessarily on the techniques involved. i found here at least in maryland, i usually the virginia but the cooperation between the state, federal and private land has been pretty good. why don't we focus the discussion on economic relationship between that? >> guest: a great point. one of the elements at play in the debate over the alaska hunting regulation is whether they amount, whether the allowing of certain techniques amounted to a way to manage the predator prey population. as i understand the argument, it's that by allowing more liberal use of tactics and killing predators such as bears, that is a way of boosting the prey population

they were buying of federal land federal land from the federal government. they were not purchasing it from white people. this is where some of these laws come into place. free from slavery in the new world. and i it will have equal voting rights. it is equal learning rights. it does not use the word white once. i teach this sometimes. this is not just an absence. it is a deliberate inclusion of people. the branding of the north carolina. by 1792. george washington runs for president a second time. the vast majority of american states in the northwest territory have equal rights. so something happen. as soon as the first estate was created. they managed to outgrow the african-americans were already there. but the fact was. starting in 1790. the pioneers in the ohio territory and they were coming after. this is something that commentators in the area are noticing. they're probably coming in to find african-americans. already established. already successful. i'm originally from central illinois. how exactly did you go about fighting these specific towns. how d

it was the best land. already it was highly prized for it was rich river bottom land that almost anything would grow on. it was close to the rivers, because they could easily find transportation for themselves or anything else they might want to sell. but it was also high enough to avoid the yearly flooding that struck so many years nearby. it was almost perfect. and it had to be. the greers knew that their lives depended on this land for this soil was to grow their food and support them, and more of a side, of course they wanted a family, but they had hoped for more than mere survival. ed a charles already told her that he wanted to be able to grow not only their family's but their farm? she wanted to leave behind a legacy, not just investment in his new nation to pass along to their children. not just freedom. but a future full of success. but that was the future. that was their dream. first came the plowing. the oxen were fresh but they knew that their team was tender and the land hard. for they were no

because they never defined what lands were native lands, yet the congress gave the authority to the new state to select that land, and when i realized that, that the secretary of interior, by the issuance of this interim conveyance, we never get it back. never get it back. and so i was this kind of nerdy, quiet, guy in the library, all of a sudden i was like a whirling dervish, like a bat out of hell because i could see the consequences or not doing anything. >>> but in those days, no nonnative politician would even remotely suggest that native people had any right to the land. they fought for civil rights, you know, they got rid of the no dog order native signs but when it came to land, uh-oh, that was like hot button. so i described, gonzales senator greening. clark -- i don't notify your there, but -- you know, i had this confrontation, i wrote a chapter called "the senator and the student," i was baby-sit baby-sitting for do and i was in the process of writing my paper and then i saw this little blush in the fairbanks news and said, what we need to do is pay off these natives and ge

the issue of the struggle in south africa was about land and we don't have that land now and. the other issues you must address this government is you must get our people title deeds so that our people have ownership . but it's argued mostly by one people simply giving back the land will not solve the country's problems. in the past the land was expressed created by white people from black people now the land just being expropriated from white people by black people he's going to protect you the person who's got the land the next time. this . fund of old supports the public hearings. that it but i'm here and i see what's happening it would seem bad but it didn't bode i have my own concerns but i believe entrust the best will happen in states that he based the self could be anything but her future and the future of her land has never been more uncertain. well finally now to a natural spectacle reminiscent of an impressionist painting an area in central italy wildflowers have burst into bloom turning the fields into vibrant works of art the mixture of poppies corn flowers and da

the only way to get here by land would have been across the land bridge, connecting asia to north america when sea levels were down and it wasn't a bridge, it wasn't a narrow causeway, it was a subcontinent. if you were in the middle of elaborate you would have been 500 miles from the nearest shorelinewhere now of the land bridge , st. lawrence island, this being shaped island between alaska and siberia. that was the way to get across my foot except on the other side that we think you walked across the land bridge and boom, you are in north america but no, there's an ice sitting on half of north america and the shortest way across is 1800 miles of just straight ice. before you would ramp down into the dakotas or the eastern oregon. and washington. so it's not an easy place to get to. because just the land bridge is way out in the middle of nowhere and i'm thinking this is i'm working on this camel going you don't know us yet. you've never encountered our kind. this is a moments before it happens. lunch everyone else left the cave and step down generator up top so they could eat in peace.

it's not just alaska, the federal government owns land across the country. guest: one of the arguments made by the congressional delegation, who are among the big opponents of the obama era rule, is that this goes beyond alaska. if you allow the federal government based in washington, -- staterestrict they authority in alaska, neck they will be coming for california, next they will be coming for california or nevada. once youent goes that allow the federal government to restrict hunting, they will be more restrictive on mining, grazing, or public use. and generalpecific fight, the specific fight is over hunting regulations and the general fight is over who controls public land. host: we have a call from wyoming, let's go to tracy. i will begin with you this usning, good morning, tell your thoughts as we discuss hunting restrictions in alaska. i think this is a states rights issue, all states are supposed to be equal, they entered into the union with the same rights. the states maintain the rights of their pop -- wildlife population and water, and the reason

it recognized native ownership of millions of acres of land in alaska. it was at the time, the largest nativeent with the groups in north america. the alaskan native brotherhood and sisterhood were one of their initial efforts was to gain citizenship for alaska natives. when the united states first alaska,ossession of alaska natives were not even citizens of the land that they pioneered 10,000 years previous. scrim nation and racism still exists in alaska and that is one of the reasons we decided to have this exhibit because after talking to alaska natives across the entire state, they felt it was time to start talking about these things. this museum is a collection of artifacts we have relating to the fight for native rights and resilience in general. this was the place to start doing it. announcer: our cities tour staff recently checked -- travel to alaska to learn about its rich history. learn more about alaska and other stops on our tour at c-span.org/citiestour. you're watching american history tv. all weekend, every weekend, on c-span3. each week,

a piece of waste land near pretoria egged on by the f.s.a. . not is good news. but the next day the police moved in to clear the area pulling down the makeshift high. it's that had already been set up. we decided to visit a nearby township here we should find plenty of people who support the ideas of the economic freedom fighters but in fact we find the political rhetoric doesn't necessarily reflect the reality on the ground we spent two hours talking to people here and found no support for expropriating white farmers land. in the government it was those had just to be owned by more people then there must be some form of compensation you know that is why i'm not to want to break you know it's a matter of do what is like is not a big issue because if they do that. if you are just words this isn't. the issue of land has dog south africa since the end of apartheid the government's reform programme has focused on persuading white farmers to sell their land voluntarily some property has been expelled pre-dated but always with compensation . but for

selectively picked land. the state is not one body of land. it would have 6 million acres here, 50 million acres here, 10 million acres here. we picked acres, quite frankly, by its value. betweenays picked land b.nd c and so we lost a lot of our state rights? we have accessible rights. we have a right to utilize our what notout being told to do. very few alaskans use the parks. they are not really allowed to. they are used for tourists. i think it is incorrect. i think it should be parks and partners. heart her the people of alaska in the parks. -- partner with the people of alaska in the parks. they had 23,000 people visit last year. monumenthe washington in one week. the only people who really use the federal land are federal employees. i think that is unfortunate and has caused a lot of hostility. i think his inky is doing a good -- i think ryan zinke he is doing a good job. itself, people and agencies are living with thinness bubble and they do not know what you need to do it and what harm we do not do. mind forever.een they are trying to

the story of this new state is a , a richy of a big land land that is being developed by hard-workingettlers who are working a new region out of our last frontier. let's get better acquainted with alaska so we can understand why it is so important to us. one reason for alaska's importance is its geographical position, the air routes. the airplane is making alaska the center of a new communication route for the air age. another important feature is alaska's size. let's compare it with the rest of the united states. we can see it is about 1/5 the size of our whole country. alaska's vast undeveloped regions are a storehouse of natural wealth. there are magnificent mountain ranges bearing precious ores of gold, silver and copper. there are 20 million acres of forest. the lumber and wood for future american markets. there are rivers teeming with fish, and along the coastline, there are untapped deposits of oil. because alaska extends 1200 miles from north to south, it has a variety of climate. example, north of the arctic circle we see alaska as most of windswept, a barren, region. here th

shirts take a very different view they see the white minority as a problem and are calling for their land to be taken away. many of south africa's white farmers now live in fear fear of being attacked by black people. men from neighboring farms near pretoria have joined forces to patrol the area at night it's a practice now operating on farms across the country. the farmers say the change in political tone has meant they're now increasingly becoming the target of attacks. because the police anymore region i mean vehicles. suddenly there's a noise perhaps it's an intruder this time it turns out to be nothing just the wind or a small animal. ordinary farmers are now patrolling their land with bullet proof vests and guns this neighborhood project was set up by after form an association that represents the white minority. farms in south africa are often in remote locations making them easy targets for criminals so it's not clear to what extent the attacks on farmers are politically motivated. but they're making white farmers feel increasingly on edge farmers like baird is henrico and his wife

it was a five because they never definewhat lands were native lands . the congress gave the authority to the new state to select the land and when i realized that the secretary of interior by the issuance of this interim conveyance, we'd never get back. and so i was just this kind d of nerdy, quiet guy in the library. all of a sudden i was like a hwhirling dervish, like a out of hell because i could see the consequences of notdoing anything . but in those days, no non-native politicians would even remotely just that native people had any rightto the land . they fought for civil rights. they got rid of the dogs of their natives a lot of times but it came to land, oh. was like a hot button. so i did describe the greening. clark, i don't know if you're there ditto. >> i had a confrontation and i wrote a chapter called the center and the student. i was babysitting for a lady from guyana going into mining aschool and i was in the process of writing my paper and then i saw this blurred in the standardized newsletter that said what we need to do is pay off the

land? somebody else can tell you the reason why the name jenkins hill stuck. that is the connection between the capital society, the carol family and the capitol hill. it was on carroll land. our final panelist is pamela scott. a scholar who has been researching, writing, lecturing and curating, about the national , capital's architecture history for more than four decades. i have no idea what she can do in her spare time. she does not have any. the capital has been the center of a research teaching and writing articles on john trumbull. they have delved into the contributions of these key individuals. her exhibit at the library of congress resulted in her exploration of the capital's early architecture in temple of liberty. her next book will be on charles bulfinch's washington career with a focus on his work at the capital. pam's section of the book is the largest and the most detailed history of the origins and development of capitol hill and -- as a neighborhood, its infrastructure and

the shape of the land is very important. one would say that it is the .ost important characteristic it is the relationship to water, it is the elevation that the land is that. three, the extent to which the site lets you into other bodies of land. what am i rambling on about? i'm saying there are a lot of having to does that are important. enough on that for now. courts exploring this -- this was woodland area, it had to be cleared. it is a pedestal in need of a monument. donald: do we have another question? anyone? yes. >> i would ask anyone of the authors if they could briefly explain why it was called jenkins hill and not caroll hill? there was a jenkins family in the old area of the city that mostly seemed to rent land. this was not of carol's for, there was a plot in my minds eye. i think it may have been 60 acres or so, it was owned by a jenkins. this was a good half-mile away from carol hill. jenkins were around. generally agreed that the only reason we turn -- we use the term jenkins hill now is that the first few da

on this land? -- who owns this land? the answer comes back carroll. there is something like 100 acres. it is a plot right up there. it is a square plot. 25 acres by a hundred acres, something like that. set among a number of property owners that own land on a parcel of that part of the countryside. by who? owned who owns this? the answer came back jenkins. why was that? it was because, right near fact, right there, there was a 100 acre plot that was surveyed and was owned or occupied by a jenkins. whoever was asked how did you get here? i got appeared through jenkins' property. it was a name of convenience that casual comers to the land in question used in connection. sorry for the convoluted answer. sorry it took so long. sorry, but it is as it is. we have some maps that we had made. this was especially to help people with this kind of question. is this one of them? >> yes. >> we went ahead and size the value of the map. jenkins was here. it was rented over there. carroll: it is that sort of thing

on, this land on the north slope would be good to select. had they not selected it, alaska's economy would've been entirely different than it is today. but the state geologists selected that land and leased it to the oil companies. now, what that meant was, alaska retained a royalty or ownership interest in the oil on that land. so, 1/8 of the oil belongs to the state, about 1/8. state has relied on that 1/8 share, the cash value of it, to help run its government. severance tax that the state collects on rest of the oil. the severance tax and the toalty oil have amounted many tens of billions of dollars over the years, and really provided sort of the economic power to state economy. 1970's, there was great concern that all of this oil money would flow and be spent immediately. the state adopted a constitutional amendment to save a percentage of its oil what they and created called the "alaska permanent 1977.established in a it is still collecting millions of dollars each year, going into that account. in 1980, it created this very unique sys
