I'm not sure I can help much with this one. I tend to "e". Raiding other, unrelated, people for livestock and other valuables is/was common everywhere, not just in Alaska. It may, however, have been more common among nomadic tribes than more settled, agriculture-based economies. I'm no more certain than you as to what the "correct" answer will be when you turn it in. Sorry.
Anthropologists have studied anarchy and anarchy in groups for sometime now, I am uncertain any of them would draw a broad conclusion as to which any of the "answers" would university fit as a "clear" conclusion.
I think bobpursley is correct.
