  • Who Are the Alutiiq People?
    WHO A RE THE ALUT ii Q PEOPLE ? In the historic era, Russian traders called all of the Native peoples of southwestern Alaska “Aleut” – despite regional differences in language, cultural practices, and history. In the modern era, this has caused confusion. People with distinct cultures are known by the same name. Today, Kodiak’s Native people use a variety of self-designators. There is no one correct term. Many Elders prefer Aleut, a term they were taught as children. Today others choose Alutiiq or Sugpiaq. What does each of these terms mean? SUGPIAQ – This is a traditional self-designator of the Native people of Prince William Sound, the outer Kenai Peninsula, the Kodiak Archipelago, and the Alaska Peninsula. It means “real person” and it is the way Native people described themselves prior to Western contact. This term is used by some today. Sugpiaq is a popular self-designator on the Kenai Peninsula, and is gaining use on Kodiak. ALEUT – This word means “coastal dweller” and it is derived ALUTIIQ from a Siberian Native language. Russian traders introduced the OR term, using it to describe the Native people they encountered ALUTIIT? in the Aleutian Islands, the Alaska Peninsula, and the Kodiak archipelago. Aleut is still frequently used to refer to the Native ALUTIIQ (singular) • Noun: to describe one person: people of the Aleutian Islands, although the word Unangan – I am an Alutiiq. meaning “we the people” in the region’s traditional language – is • Noun: to describe the language: gaining popularity. They are speaking Alutiiq. • Adjective: as a modified: There are many Alutiiq artists.

  • Alutiiq Colors
    ALUT ii Q COLORS The world’s societies interpret colors in different ways. The Alutiiq language has just 4 basic color terms – Kawirtuq (it is red), Tan’ertuq / Tamlertuq (it is black), Qatertuq (it is white), and Cungartuq (it is blue). Each of these color terms is a verb root (i.e., kawirtuq means “it is red”) as the Alutiiq language has no adjectives. Alutiiqs recognized a broader range of colors, but their traditional language describes most hues with these four terms. For example, green is a shade of blue. Alutiiq speakers also describe colors by their similarity to common things. For example, an Alutiiq speaker might say that a yellow object is the color of oil. IT IS RED - KA WIRTUQ IT IS BLUE - CUNG A RTUQ Alutiiq people manufactures red pigments from To Alutiiqs, blue is a powerful color. minerals and plants.

  • Alutiiq Museum Collections Policy
    Alutiiq Museum Collections Policy I. INTRODUCTION The Alutiiq Heritage Foundation (AHF) Board will maintain full responsibility for the collections policy of the Alutiiq Museum and Archaeological Repository. Compliance with this policy is the profes- sional obligation of the museum’s staff. A. Mission Statement The Alutiiq Heritage Foundation, through the Alutiiq Museum & Archaeological Repository, pre- serves the traditions of the Alutiiq people and promotes a greater awareness of the rich cultural legacy of the indigenous peoples of the greater Gulf of Alaska region. Our collections are held in a repository that is accessible to the public. We encourage and support research on Alutiiq culture and history, and dissemi- nate the results of this research to the public through educational outreach, exhibits, special events, publica- tions, and scholarly presentations. B. History of the Collections The Alutiiq Museum is an outgrowth of the Kodiak Area Native Association’s (KANA) Culture and Heritage division. Founded in 1987, the division was designed to foster island-wide archaeological research, develop educational programs on Alutiiq culture, and promote workshops on Alutiiq language and arts. In 1990, the division became the Alutiiq Culture Center and moved to its own building. Large archaeological assemblages from local excavations were returned to Kodiak for curation at the center and public exhibits assembled from these materials. Additionally, the center conducted its own archaeological projects and accepted archaeological, ethnographic, archival, and photographic materials as gifts and on loan. Documentation for many of these collections was incomplete and did not follow the standards set forth in this policy. In 1993, KANA received a grant from the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Trustee Council to develop a state-of-the-art archaeological repository and regional research facility.

    TOOLS BUT NOT TOOLKITS: TRACES OF THE ARCTIC SMALL TOOL TRADITION IN THE KODIAK ARCHIPELAGO Amy F. Steffian and Patrick G. Saltonstall Alutiiq Museum & Archaeological Repository, 215 Mission Road, Suite 101, Kodiak, AK, 99615; [email protected], [email protected] Abstract: Archaeological data indicate that the prehistoric foragers of the Kodiak Archipelago had deep and enduring connections with societies of the Alaskan mainland. From trade to intermarriage, islanders maintained ties with their neighbors that reflect patterns of economic and social organization. This paper explores interregional interaction during Kodiak’s Early Kachemak phase (4000 to 2700 BP), a period that coincides with Arctic Small Tool tradition (ASTt) occupations on the adjacent Alaska and Kenai peninsulas. Although this far southern corner of the Esk–Aleut world was not colonized by bearers of the ASTt, exotic raw materials and ASTt-type tools in Kodiak’s Early Kachemak assemblages provide evidence of interaction across the Shelikof Strait. Key Words: Early Kachemak phase, economic intensification, raw material sourcing, Kodiak Archipelago, Alutiiq people INTRODUCTION The spread of foraging societies across the North Part of the difficulty in discerning the spatial extent American Arctic roughly 4200 years ago is one of the of ASTt occupations is the limited quantity of archaeo- most intriguing events in arctic prehistory.
