LOCAL NO. 7 Accession No. 3927-001 GUIDE HISTORY The Cannery Workers' and Farm Laborers' Union was organized June 19, 1933 in Seattle to represent the primarily Filipino-American laborers who worked in the Alaska salmon canneries. Filipino Alaskeros first appeared in the canneries around 1911. In the 1920s as exclusionary immigration laws went into effect, they replaced the Japanese, who had replaced the Chinese in the canneries. Workers were recruited through labor contractors who were paid to provide a work crew for the summer canning season. The contractor paid workers wages and other expenses. This system led to many abuses and harsh working conditions from which grew the movement toward unionization. The CWFLU, under the leadership of its first President, Virgil Duyungan, was chartered as Local 19257 by the American Federation of Labor in 1933. On December 1, 1936 an agent of a labor contractor murdered Duyungan and Secretary Aurelio Simon.

  • Exploratory Models of Intersite Variability in Mid to Late Holocene Central Alaska B.A
    ARCTIC VOL. 61, NO. 4 (DECEMBER 2008) P. 407– 425 Exploratory Models of Intersite Variability in Mid to Late Holocene Central Alaska B.A. POTTER1 (Received 27 November 2007; accepted in revised form 10 March 2008) ABSTRACT. Interrelated aspects of technology, site structure, and subsistence patterns in central Alaska are synthesized using a comprehensive database of radiocarbon-dated components. Microblade technology is examined with respect to broad patterns of technology, settlement, and subsistence. Striking changes in the archaeological record during the Late Holocene (~1000 cal BP), including the loss of microblades, are explored through three general models: technological and economic change within existing populations, population replacement or assimilation, and taphonomic bias. The evidence most strongly supports the first: a shift from multiseasonal large mammal hunting strategies with associated high residential mobility to exploitation of seasonally overabundant resources (caribou, fish) and increased logistical mobility and reliance on storage. Key words: Alaska, intersite variability, microblade technology, bison extirpation, Subarctic prehistory, subsistence economy, land-use strategies, Holocene RÉSUMÉ. Les aspects interdépendants de la technologie, de la structure des sites et des modèles de subsistance dans le centre de l’Alaska sont synthétisés en s’appuyant sur une banque de données exhaustives de composantes datées au radiocarbone. La technologie des microlames est examinée par rapport aux modèles élargis en matière de technologie, d’établissement et de subsistance. Des changements marquants sur le plan de l’enregistrement archéologique du Holocène supérieur (~1000 cal. BP), dont la perte des microlames, sont explorés à la lumière de trois modèles généraux : le changement technologique et économique au sein des populations existantes, l’assimilation ou le remplacement de la population, et l’écart taphonomique.

  • Early Maritime Russia and the North Pacific Arc Dianne Meredith Russia Has Always Held an Ambiguous Position in World Geography
    Early Maritime Russia and the North Pacific Arc Dianne Meredith Russia has always held an ambiguous position in world geography. Like most other great powers, Russia spread out from a small, original core area of identity. The Russian-Kievan core was located west of the Ural Mountains. Russia’s earlier history (1240-1480) was deeply colored by a Mongol-Tatar invasion in the thirteenth century. By the time Russia cast off Mongol rule, its worldview had developed to reflect two and one-half centuries of Asiatic rather than European dominance, hence the old cliché, scratch a Russian and you find a Tatar. This was the beginning of Russia’s long search of identity as neither European nor Asian, but Eurasian. Russia has a longer Pacific coastline than any other Asian country, yet a Pacific identity has been difficult to assume, in spite of over four hundred years of exploration (Map 1). Map 1. Geographic atlas of the Russian Empire (1745), digital copy by the Russian State Library. Early Pacific Connections Ancient peoples from what is now present-day Russia had circum-Pacific connections via the North Pacific arc between North America and Asia. Today this arc is separated by a mere fifty-six miles at the Bering Strait, but centuries earlier it was part of a broad subcontinent more than one-thousand miles long. Beringia, as it is now termed, was not fully glaciated during the Pleistocene Ice Age; in fact, there was not any area of land within one hundred miles of the Bering Strait itself that was completely glaciated within the last million years, while for much of that time a broad band of ice to the east covered much of present-day Alaska.

A slightly different version of Chapter 4 will be published in “’Picture Man’: Shoki Kayamori and the Photography of Colonial Encounter in Alaska, 1912-1941,” College Literature: A Journal of Critical Literary Studies. Thank you to the editors and special edition editors of these journals. Many people have guided and supported me throughout my dissertation process, and I’m delighted to have the opportunity to recognize them. I am grateful to my committee, exemplary scholars who challenge me to deeply engage and critically think through my project. My advisors Erika Lee and Jigna Desai have been everything I could ask for and more, both phenomenal academics who motivate me to be a better scholar, teacher, parent, and community member.

  • Alaska Community Profiles 2000-2010
    NOAA-TM-AFSC-259 – Volume 8 Community Profiles for North Pacific Fisheries – Alaska: Pilot Point Pilot Point People and Place Location 1 Pilot Point is located on the northern coast of the Alaska Peninsula, on the east shore of Ugashik Bay. The community lies 84 air miles south of King Salmon and 368 air miles southwest of Anchorage. Pilot Point is in the Lake and Peninsula Borough Census Area and the Kvichak Recording District. The City encompasses 25.4 square miles of land and 115.1 square miles of water. Demographic Profile 2 In 2010, there were 68 inhabitants in Pilot Point, making it the 283rd largest of 352 total Alaskan communities with recorded populations that year. Pilot Point first appeared in U.S. Decennial Census records in 1970. The population of Pilot Point almost doubled between 1990 and 2000, then declined by 32% between 2000 and 2010. According to Alaska Department of Labor estimates, between 2000 and 2009, the population of permanent residents decreased by 34%, with an average annual growth rate of -1.55%. The change in population from 1990 to 2010 is provided in Table 1. In a survey conducted by NOAA’s Alaska Fisheries Science Center (AFSC) in 2011, community leaders reported that, in addition to year-round residents, approximately 1,825 seasonal workers or transients are present in Pilot Point each year between May and August. They reported that the annual population peak takes place in June and July, and population fluctuations are entirely driven by employment in commercial fishing. It is also important to note that some people from the nearby village of Ugashik live part of the year in Pilot Point as well.3 In 2010, a majority of Pilot Point residents identified themselves as American Indian and Alaska Native (66.2%), 16.2% identified themselves as White, and 17.2% identified with two or more races.

Dr. William Workman's suggestions, directions to publications, and knowledge of Arctic archaeology provided indispensable insight to this research. Dr. Owen Mason also provided me with hard-to-find publications, and the understanding that geology, ecology, and site formation processes are fundamental when discussing archaeology. I must also thank Robert Gal with the Western Arctic National Parklands for providing his expertise on Paleoindian archaeology, lithic technology, and analysis, as well as laboratory and field methods. His project, the spatial and lithic analysis of the Last Day site, provided me with essential introductions to the software and techniques used in archaeological analysis. Dr. Becky Saleeby's efforts, from the beginning, have been most supportive. She provided me with the support and motivation to study Early Alaskans without restriction.

  • Alaska Fisheries: a Guide to History Resources
    November 30, 2015 Alaska Fisheries: A Guide to History Resources Prepared by the Alaska Historical Society’s Alaska Historic Canneries Initiative Compiled by Robert W. King, September 2015 Dedication This guide to the history resources of Alaska fisheries is dedicated to Wrangell historian Patricia “Pat” Ann Roppel (1938‐2015). Pat moved to Alaska in 1959 and wrote thirteen books and hundreds of articles, many about the history of Alaska fisheries, including Alaska Salmon Hatcheries and Salmon from Kodiak. Twice honored as Alaska Historian of the Year, Pat Roppel is remembered for the joy she took in research and writing, her support of fellow historians and local museums, and her enthusiasm and good humor. Alaska Historic Canneries Initiative The Alaska Historic Canneries Initiative was created in 2014 to document, preserve, and celebrate the history of Alaska's commercial fish processing plants, and better understand the role the seafood industry played in the growth and development of our state. Alaska boasts some of largest and best‐managed fisheries in the world. The state currently produces over 5 billion pounds of seafood products annually worth over $5 billion to its fishermen and even more on the wholesale and retail markets. Fisheries are closely regulated by state and federal authorities, and while fish populations naturally fluctuate, no commercially harvested species are being overfished. Canneries are central to the development of Alaska, but an overlooked and neglected part of our historic landscape. Only two Alaska canneries are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, although few historic resources have impacted Alaska’s economy and history as greatly.

  • Donlin Gold Project, Final Environmental Impact Statement
    Donlin Gold Project Chapter 3: Environmental Analysis Final Environmental Impact Statement 3.20 Cultural Resources 3.20 CULTURAL RESOURCES SYNOPSIS Effects on cultural resources are defined as impacts to all buildings, sites, structures, objects, and districts, that are considered to have historical or cultural value, including those sites recommended eligible for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) such as archaeological resources. Field surveys conducted between 2006 and 2016 have revealed three segments of the Iditarod National Historic Trail (INHT) and 72 archaeological sites and architectural resources. The three segments of the INHT and 49 of the archaeological sites and architectural resources are located within the area of potential effects (APE) identified for the Donlin Gold Project. Complete survey of the APE, however, has not yet been conducted. Consequently, additional resources may be identified during additional surveys prior to ground disturbing activity. The effects analysis completed for the EIS is based on formal determinations of eligibility (Bittner 2016; Darden 2016; Gordon and Newman 2016) that have been submitted from the Corps to the Alaska State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) as of October 2016. EXISTING CONDITION SUMMARY The INHT, inclusive of the three trail segments identified during the field investigations, is considered eligible for listing on the NRHP, and 15 archaeological sites and architectural resources within the APE for the Donlin Gold Project have been determined eligible for inclusion in the NRHP. Four sites in the APE remain unevaluated; these sites will be treated as eligible for the purposes of analysis. Three sites were determined to not be of human origin, and the remaining 27 sites were determined not eligible due to lack of association with persons or events important in history and the inability to contribute information important to history or prehistory beyond that captured during initial documentation and testing.

INTRODUCTION: THE ALEUTIAN ENVIRONMENT I There are many problems inherent in attempting to fully assess the I cultural resources of an area such as that encompassed in the boundaries of the Aleut Corporation. While there are many things which bind the I area together into a unified whole, there are also many differences which must be taken into consideration. Yet both the differences and I the unifying aspects are, in large part, caused by the geographic location I and environmental effects of the region upon its inhabitants. The Aleut Corporation consists of the Aleutian Islands themselves--a I chain of volcanic mountaintops reaching out over 1,100 miles across the northern Pacific; a 200-mile portion of the lower Alaska Peninsula and the island groups (Shumagin, Popov, and Sanak) off the Peninsula's I southern coast; and the Pribilof Islands, located in the Bering Sea 300 miles west of the Alaskan mainland and 200 miles north of the Aleutians.
