Sitka Prince of Wales Island lies off of the Petersburg mainland coast, across from Ketchikan and Wrangell Wrangell—it is the third largest island in the U.S. A waterway known as the Inside Passage separates it from the mainland. The Prince of Ketchikan Wales Island area includes a number of smaller islands clustered along its west coast. Together, they form a protective barrier from the open sea. The landscape is rugged and mountainous, with rocky coastlines and heavily forested slopes rising to 4,000 feet. Sitka spruce, Western hemlock, and red and yellow cedar dominate the forest.

  • Wolf-Sightings on the Canadian Arctic Islands FRANK L
    ARCTIC VOL. 48, NO.4 (DECEMBER 1995) P. 313–323 Wolf-Sightings on the Canadian Arctic Islands FRANK L. MILLER1 and FRANCES D. REINTJES1 (Received 6 April 1994; accepted in revised form 13 March 1995) ABSTRACT. A wolf-sighting questionnaire was sent to 201 arctic field researchers from many disciplines to solicit information on observations of wolves (Canis lupus spp.) made by field parties on Canadian Arctic Islands. Useable responses were obtained for 24 of the 25 years between 1967 and 1991. Respondents reported 373 observations, involving 1203 wolf-sightings. Of these, 688 wolves in 234 observations were judged to be different individuals; the remaining 515 wolf-sightings in 139 observations were believed to be repeated observations of 167 of those 688 wolves. The reported wolf-sightings were obtained from 1953 field-weeks spent on 18 of 36 Arctic Islands reported on: no wolves were seen on the other 18 islands during an additional 186 field-weeks. Airborne observers made 24% of all wolf-sightings, 266 wolves in 48 packs and 28 single wolves. Respondents reported seeing 572 different wolves in 118 separate packs and 116 single wolves. Pack sizes averaged 4.8 ± 0.28 SE and ranged from 2 to 15 wolves. Sixty-three wolf pups were seen in 16 packs, with a mean of 3.9 ± 2.24 SD and a range of 1–10 pups per pack. Most (81%) of the different wolves were seen on the Queen Elizabeth Islands. Respondents annually averaged 10.9 observations of wolves ·100 field-weeks-1 and saw on average 32.2 wolves·100 field-weeks-1· yr -1 between 1967 and 1991.

  • THE SEARCH for the NORTH MAGNETIC POLEX by R
    THE SEARCH FOR THE NORTH MAGNETIC POLEX By R. GLENNMADILL Abstract The Dominion Observatory has extended its network of magnetic stations in the Arctic to such a stage as to indicate the presence of the north magnetic pole in northern Prince of Wales Island. A brief historical sum- mary of magnetic observations in the north is given followed by an account of the observations made in the summer of 1947. Preliminary values of 1947 results fromArctic magnetic stations and a chart of magnetic meridians constructed from recent declination observations are included. N JUNE 2, I 83 I, Ross fixed the British flag to a spot on Cape Adelaide 0 Regina, Boothia Peninsula, and took possession of the north magnetic pole in thename of Great Britain and King William the Fourth.The spot was a fixed geographical point-70" 5' N. Lat., 96" 46' W. Long.-about which themagnetic pole was perpetually moving. During Ross' observations, extending over a 24-hour period, the pole was moving within an area whose diameter was of the order of 16 miles. Ross arrived at the north magnetic pole on foot having walked from his base at Victory Harbour about IOO miles away. On May 3, 1904, Amundsenreached a point on BoothiaPeninsula apparentlyabout 20 miles fromthe magnetic pole. He hadtravelled by sledge from Gjoahavn, King William Island,some 150 miles distant. The pole at that time was computed to be in 70" 30' N. Lat. and 95' 30' W. Long., about 40 miles northeast of Ross' position. Amundsen established at Gjoahavn a temporary magnetic observatory which operated from Novem- ber 1903 to May 1905 and furnished control to field observations made during a magnetic survey of parts of King William Island and Boothia Peninsula.

  • Precontact Dogs from the Prince of Wales Archipelago , Alaska Susan J. Crockford Madonna L. Moss James F. Baichtal
    PRECONTACT DOGS FROM THE PRINCE OF WALES ARCHIPELAGO, ALASKA Susan J. Crockford Pacific Identifications Inc., 6011 Oldfield Rd, Victoria, BC, Canada V9E 2J4, [email protected] Madonna L. Moss Department of Anthropology, University of Oregon, Eugene, OR, 97403-1218 James F. Baichtal U.S. Forest Service, P.O. Box 19001, Thorne Bay, AK 99919 ABSTRACT For the first time, precontact domestic dog Canis( familiaris Linnaeus, 1758) remains are described in detail from five locations in the Prince of Wales Archipelago, Southeast Alaska. Four of these derive from northern Prince of Wales Island itself: Coffman Cove (49-PET-556 and 49-PET-067), Lost Dog Cave (49-CRG-585), and Kushtaka Cave (49-PET-410). The fifth site is Cape Addington Rockshelter (49-CRG-188), located on Noyes Island, west of Prince of Wales Island. The sites span a time period of 5500 to 700 cal bp, with dog remains associated with dates between 3800 and 1000 cal bp. Although dog bones and teeth are not numerous from any site, this set of remains suggests that the Prince of Wales Archipelago dogs ranged in size as much as dogs from similar-aged coastal sites in southern British Columbia and Washington State. These Prince of Wales dogs fall within the size range previ- ously identified by Crockford (1997, 2009) as “village dogs” and “wool dogs.” We presently lack any evidence that these Alaskan dogs were bred or maintained for wool production, as small dogs were by the Coast Salish and Makah who reside(d) on the southern Northwest Coast. keywords: village dog; wool dog; late Holocene; canid; wolf; Canis familiaris; Southeast Alaska; domestic; North America; New World INTRODUCTION Of the more than 2800 archaeological sites on record in in published literature from Alaska may be because North Southeast Alaska, approximately 180 sites have undergone American archaeologists and zooarchaeologists alike have, some subsurface testing (Moss et al.

Recent trends in abundance of Peary Caribou (Rangifer tarandus pearyi) and Muskoxen (Ovibos moschatus) in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, Nunavut. Department of Environment, Government of Nunavut, Wildlife Report No. 1, Pond Inlet, Nunavut. 184 pp. RECOMMENDATIONS TO GOVERNMENT i ABSTRACT Updated information on the distribution and abundance for Peary caribou on Nunavut’s High Arctic Islands estimates an across-island total of about 4,000 (aged 10 months or older) with variable trends in abundance between islands. The total abundance of muskoxen is estimated at 17,500 (aged one year or older). The estimates are from a multi-year survey program designed to address information gaps as previous information was up to 50 years old. Information from this study supports the development of Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit (IQ)- and scientifically-based management and monitoring plans. It also contributes to recovery planning as required under the 2011 addition of Peary caribou to Schedule 1 of the federal Species At Risk Act based on the 2004 national assessment as Endangered.
