It has been recognized that Athabaskans have not used the areas within the park for many decades and that the ethnographic and historical records are rather sparce. This project is being coordinated with other projects now in progress for the Denali area, namely the Ethnographic Overview and Assessment, the Native Tribal Histories and Project Jukebox. In 1998 and 1999 in the course of the project we have added important details to the documentary record of an ancient rule-driven Athabaskan place name network in the Central Alaska Range. In my view no genre of linguistic or ethnographic field work is as challenging methodologically or editorially as is place names research. The most expert Athabaskan speakers, such as Shem Pete, Jake Tansy, Abbie Joseph, and Miska Deaphon, know the country in such breadth and detail that each and every demonstration ofthis knowledge has something to add to the cumulative record of the place name network. Clearly, the highest priority has been to add details and refinements to the place name network. The "crucible" in this process is the latest version ofthe place names files and maps for a given Athabaskan language area or band territory. This project has been very productive and successful. The most expert speakers in the five languages ofthe project have been highly interested participants in the work. The importance ofthe documentary effort has been acknowledged, and there have been positive comments from several communities. The support from the Denali National Park staffhas been very helpful. The air support by Ranger Hollis Twichell has facilitated the research effort and community participation. An initial problem for this project was to develop a workable and meaningful definition of the project study area. There are five Athabaskan languages that have some territory that approaches Denali National Park and Preserve: Ahtna, Dena'ina, Upper Kuskokwim, Koyukon, and Lower Tanana. It is best to treat Athabaskan band territories as whole units and with editorial consistency, because the traditional place name networks emanate from one of the home areas (e.g., the lower Susitna River for the Upper Inlet Dena'ina, from Nenana for the Lower Tanana). Based on ethnographic criteria we developed a project study area of about 50,000 square miles within a 100 to nearly 200 mile radius of the summit of Denali (with Rainy Pass and Broad Pass serving as delimiting corridors to the west and east). The index maps (Figs. 1,2 & 6) show how the Athabaskan language boundaries transect the park

ARLIS .· .· Alaska Resources Uotary & Information Services AlM INTRODUCTION At the request of the Bureau of Land Management, the Heritage Conservation and Recreation Service made an independent study of the resources of the Kisaralik River area to determine the river's suitability for designation as a component of the National Wild and Scenic River System. In the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act (PL. 90-542) Congress stated: "It is hereby declareq to be the policy of the United States that certain selected rivers of the Nation which with their immediate envi:r:onments, possess outstandingly remarkable scenic, recreational, geologic, fish and wildlife, historic, cultural, or other similar values, shall be preserved in free-flowing condition, and that they and their immediate environments shall be protected for the benefit and enjoyment of present and future generations." Ibis study was made in compliance with ~he Act. An interagency field inspection was conducted of the Kisaralik River in July 1978. Participating in the inspection were: Bureau of Land Management U.s. Fish & Wildlife Service State of AI;aska, Division Heritage Conseravtion & of Parks Recreation Service The following analysis is largel~ based on information obtained during the interagency field inspection; the Kisaralik River Report of August 7-14, 1976, by BLM staff (unpublished); the BOR aerial reconaissance in 1977; and library materials. THE RIVER AND ITS SETTING ~eral Setting The 3,000-4,000 foot high Kuskokwim Mountains run from near the central Yukon River in a southwest direction to the Bering Sea.

  • Club Activities
    Club Activities EDITEDBY FREDERICKO.JOHNSON A.A.C.. Cascade Section. The Cascade Section had an active year in 1979. Our Activities Committee organized a slide show by the well- known British climber Chris Bonington with over 700 people attending. A scheduled slide and movie presentation by Austrian Peter Habeler unfortunately was cancelled at the last minute owing to his illness. On-going activities during the spring included a continuation of the plan to replace old bolt belay and rappel anchors at Peshastin Pinnacles with new heavy-duty bolts. Peshastin Pinnacles is one of Washington’s best high-angle rock climbing areas and is used heavily in the spring and fall by climbers from the northwestern United States and Canada. Other spring activities included a pot-luck dinner and slides of the American Women’s Himalayan Expedition to Annapurna I by Joan Firey. In November Steve Swenson presented slides of his ascents of the Aiguille du Triolet, Les Droites, and the Grandes Jorasses in the Alps. At the annual banquet on December 7 special recognition was given to sec- tion members Jim Henriot, Lynn Buchanan, Ruth Mendenhall, Howard Stansbury, and Sean Rice for their contributions of time and energy to Club endeavors. The new chairman, John Mendenhall, was introduced, and a program of slides of the alpine-style ascent of Nuptse in the Nepal Himalaya was presented by Georges Bettembourg, followed by the film, Free Climb. Over 90 members and guests were in attendance. The Cascade Section Endowment Fund Committee succeeded in raising more than $5000 during 1979, to bring total donations to more than $12,000 with 42% of the members participating.

We used ground-penetrating radar (GPR), GPS and glaciochemistry to evaluate melt regimes and ice depths, important variables for mass-balance and ice-volume studies, of Upper Yentna Glacier, Upper Kahiltna Glacier and the Mount Hunter ice divide, Alaska. We show the wet, percolation and dry snow zones located below 2700 m a.s.l., at 2700 to 3900 m a.s.l. and above 3900 m a.s.l., respectively. We successfully imaged glacier ice depths upwards of 480 m using 40–100 MHz GPR frequencies. This depth is nearly double previous depth measurements reached using mid-frequency GPR systems on temperate glaciers. Few Holocene-length climate records are available in Alaska, hence we also assess stratigraphy and flow dynamics at each study site as a potential ice-core location. Ice layers in shallow firn cores and attenuated glaciochemical signals or lacking strata in GPR profiles collected on Upper Yentna Glacier suggest that regions below 2800 m a.s.l.

  • Alaska Range
    Alaska Range Introduction The heavily glacierized Alaska Range consists of a number of adjacent and discrete mountain ranges that extend in an arc more than 750 km long (figs. 1, 381). From east to west, named ranges include the Nutzotin, Mentas- ta, Amphitheater, Clearwater, Tokosha, Kichatna, Teocalli, Tordrillo, Terra Cotta, and Revelation Mountains. This arcuate mountain massif spans the area from the White River, just east of the Canadian Border, to Merrill Pass on the western side of Cook Inlet southwest of Anchorage. Many of the indi- Figure 381.—Index map of vidual ranges support glaciers.
