In memory of Tagish ABSTRACT Recently documented ice patch sites in the southwest Yukon are ideal for evaluating precontact hunter-gatherer land-use patterns in the western subarctic. Located in the alpine of the mountainous regions of the boreal forest, ice patches are associated with well preserved hunting equipment, caribou (Rangifer tarandus) dung and an abundance of faunal remains dating to over 8000 years ago. However, current models are inadequate for explaining caribou hunting at ice patches as they tend to emphasize large-scale communal hunts associated with latitudinal movements of caribou. Much less is known about the alititudinal movment of caribou and the associated hunting forays to ice patches in the alpine.

Seventh Ave., Suite 1310, Anchorage, AK 99501-3565; [email protected] Randolph M. Tedor Office of History and Archaeology, Alaska Department of Natural Resources J. David McMahan Office of History and Archaeology, Alaska Department of Natural Resources ABSTRACT The Alaska Office of History and Archaeology conducted ice patch surveys in the Denali Highway re- gion of central Alaska for three seasons. Prehistoric organic and lithic hunting artifacts and fauna had melted from the ice patches and were subsequently recovered. These items include arrow shafts, barbed antler points, lithic projectile points, and what is likely a stick for setting ground squirrel snares. Or- ganic artifacts recovered from this survey date within the last thousand years. Lithic projectile points recovered from ice patches suggest that prehistoric hunters have been hunting caribou on ice patches in the Denali Highway region for at least the last half of the Holocene. keywords: atlatl, bow and arrow, gopher stick, mountain archaeology INTRODUCTION Ice patches with caribou (Rangifer tarandus) dung and cul- al. 2005; Hare et al. 2004a, Hare et al. 2004b).

  • Routes to Riches 2015 1 Danielhenryalaska.Com
    Routes to Riches 2015 1 danielhenryalaska.com Routes to Riches Daniel Lee Henry [email protected] A ground squirrel robe nearly smothered northern Tlingits’ nascent trust in their newly-landed missionaries. Long-time trading ties with Southern Tutchone and Interior Tlingit funneled wealth to Native residents of the upper Lynn Canal. Luxurious furs from the frigid north brought prices many times that of local pelts. For example, while the coastal red fox fur was worth $1.75 in “San Francisco dollars” in 1883, a Yukon silver fox brought up to $50 (about $1200 in 2015). Several times a year, Tlingit expeditions traversed routes considered secret until local leaders revealed their existence to Russians and Americans in the mid-nineteenth century. A day’s paddle to the upper Chilkat River brought travelers to a trail leading over through barrier coastal mountains into the vast, rolling subarctic Interior. On the eastern route, packers left Dyea at the terminus of Taiya Inlet and slogged a twenty-mile trail to a keyhole pass into lake country that drains into the Yukon River headwaters. The image of prospectors struggling up the “Golden Staircase” to Chilkoot Pass engraved the Klondike gold rush of ‘98 onto the license plates of cultural memory. For centuries, Chilkats and Chilkoots sustained a trading cartel connected by their respective routes. From tide’s edge to the banks of the Yukon River four hundred miles north, Tlingits insisted on customer allegiance. They discouraged Interior trading partners from commerce with anyone but themselves and expressly prohibited economic activity without invitation. The 1852 siege of Fort Selkirk and subsequent expulsion of Hudson’s Bay Company demonstrated the market realities of the Chilkat/Chilkoot cartel.

    PUBLIC FLOOD UPDATE July 4, 2021 at 2:00 p.m. The Emergency Measures Organization and Water Resources Branch are working closely to monitor water levels across the Yukon and provide accurate information to communities. Due to high water levels, we are asking the public to The following advisories are in effect: avoid the following areas: A flood warning for the Yukon River at Carmacks A flood warning for Southern Lakes A flood warning for Lake Laberge Riverside boardwalks and River Drive in A flood watch for Kusawa Lake and Takhini River Carmacks A high water advisory for Teslin Lake Army Beach at Marsh Lake A boil water advisory for residents of Army Beach Conrad Historic Site and South McClintock with private wells A boil water advisory for residents of Carmacks who are on well systems There are active flood responses underway across Yukon: Carmacks An Incident management team is on-site and is maintaining a response to the affected areas: 15 properties on River Drive and Lower Bench are being monitored for impact. Replacement of the River Drive aquadams with super bags is underway. A boil water advisory is in place and two homes are under boil order. More testing is planned for household well water and wastewater plant effluent. Affected property owners can contact Incident Commander Lorne Burnett at 867-863-2408. Southern Lakes An incident management team is on-site, responding to the most at risk properties and monitoring all other affected areas: Property assessments are being prioritized based on high water levels exceeding those from 2007.

Valuable editorial comments were provided by Gavin Johnston. Sandy Johnston provided ourrent information on the Canada/U.S. Yukon River salmon negotiations. The report was typed by Norma Felker, Sharilyn Gattie and Kelly Wilkinson. ii SUMMARY Prior to the Klondike Gold Rush of 1898, fishing in the Yukon was primarily done by indigenous peoples for subsistenoe. For a number of Indian bands, fish, and partioularly salmon, was the primary food souroe. Contaot with White furtraders initiated a ohange in the Indian lifestyle.
