  • Chapter 2 Darkness
    Chapter 2 Darkness f all the disconcerting statements in Veniaminov’s great work on the eastern Aleutians—and there are several—few are O more arresting than his assertion that elderly Unanga{ told of famous shamans who, long before the first Russians appeared, said white people would arrive from the sea and afterwards all Unanga{ would come to resemble them and would adopt their customs. These elders also reported that at the time of the Russian arrival the shamans began prophesizing that “in the east, over their islands,” they saw “a brilliant dawn or a great light” inhabited by “many people resembling the newcomers, while in the lower world, of the people whom they had seen there before, very few remained” and “impenetrable darkness set in.”1 This darkness surrounds the earliest history of Biorka, Kashega, and Makushin. Nick Galaktionoff joked that when people asked him where Aleuts came from, he would tell them, “Tomorrow I come from Makushin!” By “tomorrow” he meant “yesterday” or “that time before.” “I was right,” he laughed, “‘cause I was born there.”2 And yet Nick had an older origin story that began when Unanga{ lived on the mainland, a time when ice covered much of the coastline.3 Food became scarce and animals began preying on villages, taking food and attacking people. The chiefs spoke with their people and explained that they would have to go across the ice. They covered the bottoms of their open skin boats with seal skin that still had the fur on it, and this smooth surface allowed the heavily laden boats to be towed.

    i Aleuts: An Outline of the Ethnic History Roza G. Lyapunova Translated by Richard L. Bland ii As the nation’s principal conservation agency, the Department of the Interior has re- sponsibility for most of our nationally owned public lands and natural and cultural resources. This includes fostering the wisest use of our land and water resources, protecting our fish and wildlife, preserving the environmental and cultural values of our national parks and historical places, and providing for enjoyment of life through outdoor recreation. The Shared Beringian Heritage Program at the National Park Service is an international program that rec- ognizes and celebrates the natural resources and cultural heritage shared by the United States and Russia on both sides of the Bering Strait. The program seeks local, national, and international participation in the preservation and understanding of natural resources and protected lands and works to sustain and protect the cultural traditions and subsistence lifestyle of the Native peoples of the Beringia region.

In the former island group, wheneverwe approachedthe precipitouscliffs dosely enough to see distinctly,we found every available shelf and nook crowdedwith tourres.

  • Noaa Coastal Mapping Program Project Completion Report
    NOAA COASTAL MAPPING PROGRAM PROJECT COMPLETION REPORT PROJECT AK0308 SHUMAGIN ISLANDS, ALASKA Introduction Coastal Mapping Program (CMP) Project AK0308 provides coastal zone mapping data of Shumagin Islands, Alaska, from Nagai Island to Unga Island, including Popof Island, Korovin Island, and Andronica Island. The digital cartographic feature file (DCFF) may be used in support of the NOAA Nautical Charting Program (NCP) and coastal zone management activities. Project Design This project was designed per a request from the NOAA Hydrographic Surveys Division (HSD) for cartographic data in support of HSD operations. Based on an analysis of project requirements and results of a source data search, it was determined that CMP procedures for multiple source projects would apply for this project. Available source data deemed adequate for successful completion of this project included sources acquired in October and November 1999, May 2000, and June 2001. Field Operations Routine CMP field operations did not apply for this project based on the origin of the project source data. Aerotriangulation The aerotriangulation task was accomplished by a member of Applications Branch of the Remote Sensing Division (RSD) in February 2004. The image files were imported into SOCET SET (version 5.0), a modular photogrammetric software system on a digital photogrammetric workstation, using the DataThruWay (version 5.0) software extension. The import process converted the stored compressed files to the National Imagery Transmission Format (NITF 2.0) with headers and metadata. Aerotriangulation procedures were accomplished using the Multi-Sensor Triangulation (MST) module of SOCET SET. The interactive point measurement tool within MST was used to collect several tie points and a simultaneous solve adjustment was then performed, forecasting an average predicted horizontal circular error for all well defined points in this project area of 8 meters at the 95% confidence level.
