Boylan, Ph.D., Co-Director Arctic and Northern Studies Program Mary F. Ehrlander, Ph.D., Co-Director Arctic and Northern Studies Program Todd Sherman, M.F.A., Dean College of Liberal Arts Michael Castellini, Ph.D., Dean of the Graduate School Abstract The Glacial Lake Atna area, a valley between the southern Alaska and Wrangell mountain ranges in Southcentral Alaska, despite its appearance today as remote, thickly forested, and seemingly “wild” in character, has a 10,000-year history of human habitation. The first peoples in Alaska made encampments and harvested subsistence resources on the shores of the glacial lake and its margins, while today residents and visitors to the region continue to inhabit, hunt, fish, gather berries, cut firewood, and generally subsist from the land in ways remarkably similar to their prehistoric forebears. Humans and nature have a long, shared history in the thirteen million-acre Glacial Lake Atna region, and yet, since the mid-1980s, amid the modern- day conservation movement to protect so-called wild places, the region has been bordered and patrolled in ways that separate humans from nature. Wilderness policies under the National Park Service and Bureau of Land Management suggest that wilderness areas are inherently pristine, devoid of human inhabitation, and without the imprint of human work. Alaska lands acts, most specifically the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1980, while allowing for subsistence, did not adequately address work and inhabitation. This thesis questions such policies and, through archaeological, historical, and policy analyses of humans and nature in the region, argues wilderness has never been truly uninhabited and free from work. The idea of “wilderness” lacks introspection as these areas contain quite a lot of human history, and indeed wilderness is a construct of romanticism and post-frontier ideologies. i ii Table of Contents Abstract ............................................................................................................................................ i Table of Contents .......................................................................................................................... iii List of Figures ................................................................................................................................. v Acknowledgements.......................................................................................................................vii Introduction..................................................................................................................................... 1 Research Questions .................................................................................................................... 6 Literature Review....................................................................................................................... 7 Methodology ............................................................................................................................ 16 1.

My many thanks to Dr. Mary Ehrlander, who offered her enthusiastic support from my first conversation with her expressing my interest in auditing a class at UAF in 2016 and who's guidance has since has not wavered. Thank you, Dr. Chanda Meek, for all your time, considerable effort, and dynamic conservation regarding environmental policy and subsistence measures in Alaska. I would also like to thank the experts who willingly gave comments on my literature review processes and education including Dr. Mark Feige, Wallace Stegner Chair in Western American Studies at Montana State University. Many thanks to my supervisor, mentor, and friend at the Bureau of Land Management in Glennallen, Archaeologist John Jangala who provided both professional and academic guidance. Thank you for your considerable help with my research regarding Glacial Lake Atna. Finally, many thanks to Archaeologist Caroline Ketron without who this thesis would never have been completed. In the middle of south-central Alaska in the middle of winter, her little cabin wifi connection was always open. vii viii Introduction This paper explores the history of one wilderness, legally designated, but also straightforwardly so: thickly forested, vast, and inhospitable, of topographic prominence and of geographic isolation. The central character in the following chapters is not a single person, nor peoples, nor is it a government, an idea, or a political process (although these things contribute to the history). Instead, this paper focuses on the Glacial Lake Atna valley, a wilderness of the northern boreal forest which is situated in between Alaska's interior Wrangell Mountains and the high mountain passes near Landmark Gap in the Alaska Range. Here, a proglacial lake formed over fifty-eight thousand years ago and while the lake has long since drained, it defined the hydrology and geomorphology of the valley for millennia. It is an area the size of Lake Ontario, perhaps larger during glacial maxima. Today, the area maps as a wide, beautiful, yet little-heard

  • Refashioning Production in Bristol Bay, Alaska by Karen E. Hébert A
    Wild Dreams: Refashioning Production in Bristol Bay, Alaska by Karen E. Hébert A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Anthropology) in the University of Michigan 2008 Doctoral Committee: Professor Fernando Coronil, Chair Associate Professor Arun Agrawal Associate Professor Stuart A. Kirsch Associate Professor Barbra A. Meek © Karen E. Hébert 2008 Acknowledgments At a cocktail party after an academic conference not long ago, I found myself in conversation with another anthropologist who had attended my paper presentation earlier that day. He told me that he had been fascinated to learn that something as “mundane” as salmon could be linked to so many important sociocultural processes. Mundane? My head spun with confusion as I tried to reciprocate chatty pleasantries. How could anyone conceive of salmon as “mundane”? I was so confused by the mere suggestion that any chance of probing his comment further passed me by. As I drifted away from the conversation, it occurred to me that a great many people probably deem salmon as mundane as any other food product, even if they may consider Alaskan salmon fishing a bit more exotic. At that moment, I realized that I was the one who carried with me a particularly pronounced sense of salmon’s significance—one that I shared with, and no doubt learned from, the people with whom I conducted research. The cocktail-party exchange made clear to me how much I had thoroughly adopted some of the very assumptions I had set out simply to study. It also made me smile, because it revealed how successful those I got to know during my fieldwork had been in transforming me from an observer into something more of a participant.

Report #4 Compiled by George Pappas - (907) 786-3822, [email protected] Office of Subsistence Management, USFWS. The purpose of the weekly fisheries update is to provide the reader with an overall summary of the status of subsistence related fisheries throughout the state of Alaska. The target audience is the Federal Subsistence Board and its Staff Committee. The report was compiled with the assistance of the Federal in-season managers and OSM staff that provided weekly updated information by the close of business on Friday of the reporting week. My goal is to have the report sent by the close of business the following Monday. Web links have been included to provide additional information. You may obtain additional information on a fishery of particular interest by contacting the in-season manager, provided contacts, follow the provided web links, or contact me.
