She documents her experiences with lively text and wonder- ful photos. Even when the spoken languages of the participants are different, they have the language of kayaking — building and paddling — in common. Ralph Young again applies an engineer’s perspective to his study of kayak design, which he supplements with mod- el testing. His first article documents destructive testing of two kayak frames — one with a keelson, one without — conducted at the 2013 Delmarva Paddler’s Retreat. Ralph makes the case that the keelson is central to the strength of the kayak frame. His second article explores hull design, and the third follows up with testing of scale models of a variety of watercraft done at the 2014 Delmarva Paddler’s Retreat. Ralph submitted each article to a number of people with experience designing boats or extensive knowledge of Arctic watercraft and provides their feedback and his responses to it. The articles aren’t without controversy, but Ralph’s willingness to report the comments and offer his responses are a model for scientific research. If you’ve been to one of the Qajaq USA events over the last few years, chances are you’ve seen a variety of assisted rescue demonstrations, among them the Hand of Pavia rescue, a term used to refer to the variation of the “Hand-of- God” rescue that was taught by Pavia Lumholt at SSTIKS 2005. John Doornick and Henry Romer allowed us to reprint their informative article, along with instructions for making an Oscar rescue dummy to use for practice, during those times when a living victim is unavailable or unwilling. The newest Qajaq USA event, the Traditional Inuit Paddlers of the Southeast, or TIPS, was conceived by Fran Symes and Fern White as they drove to the Delmarva Paddler’s Retreat on a cold, blustery weekend in October 2013. In her article, Fran describes how the idea came to fruition the following May at Camp Bob Cooper, on the shores of Lake Marion, in Summerton, South Carolina. Adam Hansen, resident of Aasiaat, Greenland, and frequent guest at Qajaq USA events, here graciously shares pho- T h e M a s i k | Summer 2015 | www.qajaqusa.org ii tos of some of the models he has made over the winter months in Greenland. We are proud to feature one on the cover. Rounding out this issue are two indexes to every article published in The Masik, excluding this issue. The first groups articles by 13 categories, ranging from accessories to travel, chosen to reflect the content. The second lists articles by author’s last name. These indexes show the great breadth of articles published since the first issue of The Masik came out in 2003. iii T h e M a s i k | Summer 2015 | www.qajaqusa.org EDITOR’S LETTER I’ve been thinking about how the traditional paddling community has evolved during Qajaq USA’s existence — how what was once a far-flung group of paddlers linked by the Qajaq USA forum, the Delmarva Paddler’s Retreat, and the Masik has become connected through Facebook, personal and business websites, and numerous Qajaq USA events. Editor Bobby Curtis’s wonderful first issues of the Masik captured the enthusiasm of builders and rollers who wanted to share their knowledge, back when there weren’t any DVDs or YouTube videos detailing all the competition rolls and rope maneuvers. Later issues offered book reviews and interviews with people who had, and have, strong con- nections to Greenland kayaking, as well as personal reflections on individual kayaks and analyses of kayak design. The upside of this is, with so much information readily available via the World Wide Web, anyone having an Internet connection has unprecedented access to knowledge that 15 years ago required travel to get. And the Qajaq USA forum archives are a more focused resource, having over a decade’s worth of Greenland-kayak-related information available via the search function. The downside to this is that both the Masik and the forum seem less vital parts of the traditional paddling commu- nity than they once were. From my perspective as editor, content has been harder to come by. I used to solicit a few articles per issue, and several unsolicited ones would be sent to me. This issue isn’t an exception, but the difference is that what used to take a few months to gather has taken over a year. At the same time, the number of posts on the forum is down, perhaps because many building and paddling techniques have been so well described on the forum itself or elsewhere, there just isn’t as much to talk about. Or perhaps these conversations are still going on, but on Facebook and other websites. On the other hand, there are now six Qajaq USA sanctioned events: Delmarva Paddler’s Retreat, SSTIKS (South Sound Traditional Inuit Kayaking Symposium), TIPS (Traditional Inuit Paddlers of the Southeast), HRGF (Hudson River Greenland Festival), Michigan Training Camp, and Traditional Paddlers Gathering — which suggests that the tradi- tional paddling community is healthy and growing. T h e M a s i k | Summer 2015 | www.qajaqusa.org iv So how does the Masik stay relevant? I think that it needs to be published more frequently and be more connected to social media to better capture events as they happen. What it will look like will be up to the next editor, as this is my last issue. I’m proud to have been a part of the Masik these last ten years. Working on it has been more satisfying than nearly everything I’ve done professionally. I’ve especially enjoyed collaborating with the authors — it’s difficult to express how grateful I am to work with people who truly care about their subjects, except to say that their passion has been inspiring. In closing, I’d like to say thank you to Bobby Curtis and Tamara Hanks, the Masik’s first editor and art director, whose standards guided me; the art directors I’ve worked with, Thomas Duncan, Alison Sigethy, and Helen Wilson, each of whom put their own stamp on the design of the Masik; and proofreaders Bill Price, Wes Ostertag, Jane Taylor, Alison Sigethy, Len Thunberg, Bonita Martin, Helen Wilson, Ginger Travis, and Tracy Coon, all of whom improved the articles they read. My wife, Alison, our friend James Song, and I went to Greenland for the competition in 2006. Near the end of our stay, our new friend Najannguaq said, “I won’t say goodbye because maybe I’ll see you again.” To everyone who reads this, these are my thoughts as well. Qujanaq, Tom Milani May 2015 v T h e M a s i k | Summer 2015 | www.qajaqusa.org NEWSLETTER o f QAJAQ USA — t h e AMERICAN CHAPTER o f Q A A N N AT K AT T U U F I AT Greenland Kayaking, Argentina Style by Joanne Barta Background In the spring of 2011 I traveled to Argentina to participate in the first South American Traditional Qajaq Symposium. I had heard about the event, or plans for such an event, about six months before that when my friend, Don Beale, was invited to teach a paddle-carving class there. There was to be a week-long class building skin-on-frame kay- aks, led by Eiichi Ito from Japan; ropes and rolling sessions taught by Dubside; and an ACA Level 3 IDW and ICE (an instructor development workshop and instructor certification exam that is part of the American Canoe Association series of instruction; (see www.americancanoe.org for more information) led by Christian Fuchs and Fabio Raimo. Then a large celebration on Saturday and Sunday to showcase the kayaks, paddles, skills learned, and of course lots of fabulous food. T h e M a s i k | Summer 2015 | www.qajaqusa.org 1 The event was organized by Rony Maier, with support from Paul Deiner. Rony had traveled two years before to at- tend The LoCo Round Up, a week-long paddling symposium hosted by Ginni Callahan and Columbia River Kayaking in Skamokawa, Washington. He returned to Argentina inspired. Here was an incredible opportunity for me to do the two things I most like doing: traditional paddling and travel. What’s more amazing is that the symposium exactly coincided with my elementary school’s spring break! It seemed meant to be. The symposium was held at a beach along the Las Aranas river, a branch of the Parana River, in the town of Valle Ma- ria, a few hours’ drive northeast of Buenos Aries. The Parana river is wide and warm, with a very fine silt suspended in the water giving it a chocolate color. One day it would be flat, the next day white caps would provide some excite- ment for paddlers. I was met at the airport by two avid paddlers and their kayaks.

    RECONSTRUCTING THE ST. LAWRENCE ISLAND KAYAK: FROM FORGOTTEN WATERCRAFT TO A BERING SEA MARITIME NETWORK Evguenia Anichtchenko Center for Maritime Archaeology, University of Southampton, 7009 Madelynne Way, Anchorage, AK 99504; [email protected] ABSTRACT St. Lawrence Island kayaks are absent in both museum collections and written historical sources. At the same time, the pictorial record, indigenous oral lore, and archaeological data point to uninter- rupted use of kayaks well into the beginning of the twentieth century. Drawing on the analysis of kayak data from four archaeological sites, this article reconstructs structural details and discusses the history of the St. Lawrence kayak over the last millennium; it also analyzes the values of these data for understanding prehistoric maritime networks of the Bering Sea.

  • Finding Balance at the Speed of Trust
    Finding Balance at the Speed of Trust The Story of the Sustainable Southeast Partnership BY PETER FORBES Photography: Bethany Goodrich, Ian Johnson, Lee House Cover photo: Ian Johnson Design and formatting: Aaron Ferguson Contents 3 Why this Story? 6 A Story in Brief 9 A Native Place 13 A New Vision 17 Deeper Look 23 Roots of a New Story 35 Speed of Trust 39 A Time to Naturalize 43 - Case Studies - Hoonah Native Forest Partnership, Salt & Soil Marketplace, Sockeye Salmon Restoration Why this Story? Home to old-growth forests, towering peaks, and salmon streams feeding whale-filled waterways and 32 culturally-vibrant rural communities, Southeast Alaska is unlike anywhere else. Alaska Natives indigenous to this region have histories of resilient economies stretching back millennia. However, for decades, we’ve experienced protracted conflicts around resource use that have created enmity between conservation groups and industry. Local economies have declined as milling has become less viable and as extractive activities have impacted the wildlife habitat residents rely upon for subsistence harvesting. We now import most food and energy sources, and, due to issues arising from the relatively recent colonization of Alaska, we face a lack of assets and capacity to pursue more sustainable approaches to growth not dependent on boom and bust cycles. Southeast Alaska is still home to the world’s largest remaining coastal temperate rainforest; this place and the ways of life it supports are increasingly rare global treasures. To ensure this story continues for millennia more, we YAKUTAT must find a common understanding of how economies, communities, and a healthy environment can co-exist and co-evolve.

  • Surname Distributions, Origins, and Their Association with Y-Chromosome Markers in the Aleutian Archipelago
    Surname Distributions, Origins, and their Association with Y-chromosome Markers in the Aleutian Archipelago By Copyright 2010 Orion Mark Graf Submitted to the Graduate Program in Anthropology and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master’s of Arts Dr. Michael H. Crawford (Chairperson) Dr. James H. Mielke Committee members Dr. Bartholomew C. Dean Date defended: July 12th, 2010 The Thesis Committee for Orion Mark Graf certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: Surname Distributions, Origins, and their Association with Y-chromosome Markers in the Aleutian Archipelago Committee: Dr. Michael H. Crawford (Chairperson) Dr. James H. Mielke Dr. Bartholomew C. Dean Date accepted: July 12th, 2010 ii Abstract This study is an examination of the geographic distribution and ethnic origins of surnames as well as their association with Y-chromosome haplogroups found in Native communities from the Aleutian Archipelago. The project’s underlying hypothesis is that surnames and Y-chromosome haplogroups are correlated in the Aleutian Islands because both are paternally inherited markers. Using 732 surnames, Lasker’s Coefficient of relationship through isonymy (Rib) was used to identify correlations between each community based on of surnames. A subsample of 143 surnames previously characterized using Y-chromosome markers were used to directly contrast the two markers using frequency distributions and tests. Overall, it was observed that the distribution of surnames in the Aleutian Archipelago is culturally driven, rather than one of paternal inheritance. Surnames follow a gradient from east to west, with high frequencies of Russian surnames found in western Aleut communities and high levels of non- Russian surnames found in eastern Aleut communities.

Reports from across Connecticut and Rhode Island show the number of migrating fish declining dramatically compared with recent years, leading one prominent biologist to call this year “the worst in history” in his state.
