United Caribou Association of the Nunamiut (UCAN) hopes to emulate the Alaska Eskimo Whaling Commission in a way that secures a first right of refusal over sport hunters and others. What UCAN proposes by its presence are negotiated restrictions to ensure subsistence taking of caribou by residents of Anaktuvuk Pass. Because the caribou of three Arctic herds are unrestrained and transient, and a shared resource of the State of Alaska, the State Board of Game views the caribou as a shared resource to be used by all citizens of the State of Alaska. The framers of UCAN want to ensure that the State Board of Game, sport hunters, and others know that the people of Anaktuvuk Pass are concerned about their food security.

  • Environmental and Cultural Overview of the Yukon Flats Region Prepared By: Kevin Bailey, USFWS Archaeologist Date: 2/12/2015 In
    Environmental and Cultural Overview of the Yukon Flats Region Prepared by: Kevin Bailey, USFWS Archaeologist Date: 2/12/2015 Introduction With a substantial population of Native people residing in their traditional homeland and living a modern traditional lifestyle, the Yukon Flats Refuge and all of the Alaskan Interior is a dynamic and living cultural landscape. The land, people, and wildlife form a tight, interrelated web of relationships extending thousands of years into the past. Natural features and human created “sites” form a landscape of meaning to the modern residents. The places and their meanings are highly relevant to modern residents, not just for people and culture but for the land. To many Gwich’in people culture is not distinct from their homeland. Although only minimally discussed in this overview, this dynamic living cultural landscape should be considered and discussed when writing about this area. Environmental Setting Containing the largest interior basin in Alaska, the Yukon Flats Refuge encompasses over 11 million acres of land in east central Alaska. Extending roughly 220 miles east-west along the Arctic Circle, the refuge lies between the Brooks Range to the north, and the White-Crazy Mountains to the south. The pipeline corridor runs along the refuge’s western boundary while the eastern boundary extends within 30 miles of the Canadian border. The Yukon River bisects the refuge, creating the dominant terrain. As many as 40,000 lakes, ponds, and streams may occur on the refuge, most concentrated in the flood plain along the Yukon and other rivers. Upland terrain, where lakes are less abundant, is the source of important drainage systems.

Dedicated professional staff located in Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Kenai Fish and Wildlife Offices and the Anchorage Conservation Genetics Laboratory serve as the core of the Program’s fisheries management study efforts. Administrative and technical support is provided by staff in the Anchorage Regional Office. Our program works closely with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game and other partners to conserve and restore Alaska’s fish populations and aquatic habitats. Our fisheries studies occur throughout the 16 National Wildlife Refuges in Alaska as well as off- Refuges to address issues of interjurisdictional fisheries and aquatic habitat conservation. Additional information about the Fisheries Program and work conducted by our field offices can be obtained at: http://alaska.fws.gov/fisheries/index.htm The Alaska Region Fisheries Program reports its study findings through the Alaska Fisheries Data Series (AFDS) or in recognized peer-reviewed journals. The AFDS was established to provide timely dissemination of data to fishery managers and other technically oriented professionals, for inclusion in agency databases, and to archive detailed study designs and results for the benefit of future investigations. Publication in the AFDS does not preclude further reporting of study results through recognized peer-reviewed journals.

  • Gates of the Arctic Wilderness: 30 Year Perspective
    Gates of the Arctic Wilderness: 30 Year Perspective Suzanne Stutzman – Final Report - November 2014 Project Overview Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve was created in 1980, and the first general management plan began in 1984. This year, 2014, is the 50th anniversary of The Wilderness Act. Now is a good time to take a broad look through time and ask: Has wilderness character has changed significantly in the last 30 years? What does the future hold for one of the wildest places on earth? Did the first general management provide useful guidance for managers or not? I am a wilderness professional and advocate with over 35 years of experience with the National Park Service who volunteered for this special project for the 50th anniversary of the Wilderness Act. I was the team captain for the first general management plan for Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve from 1984 – 1986, and later in my career became entirely focused on wilderness stewardship and I was recognized as a regional and national leader in wilderness stewardship. My experience gives me a unique perspective to compare the Gates of the Arctic Wilderness from 30 years ago to the wilderness of today. I proposed this project to the Superintendent of Gates of the Arctic for the summer of 2014 and received enthusiastic support from Superintendent Dudgeon and his staff. The main components of the project were assembling my photos and notes from 1984, interviewing staff by phone and in the field, field visits to some of the areas I visited in 1984, and writing up my findings on the plan, on wilderness character, and the future.
