  • 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.

  • Between Empires and Frontiers Alaska Native Sovereignty and U.S. Settler Imperialism
    Between Empires and Frontiers Alaska Native Sovereignty and U.S. Settler Imperialism A Dissertation SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Jessica Arnett IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Jean M. O’Brien, Barbara Welke March, 2018 Copyright Jessica Arnett 2018 Acknowledgements My time in academia, first as an undergraduate, then an adjunct instructor, and finally as a graduate student, has spanned nearly two decades and involved numerous cross-country relocations. I cannot begin to assess the number of debts that I have accrued during this time, as friends, family members, devoted advisors, and colleagues supported the winding trajectory of my academic life. I am grateful for my committee and the years of insight and support they have provided for me as I developed my research questions and attempted to answer them. I am deeply indebted to my advisors, Jean O’Brien and Barbara Welke, who have tirelessly dedicated themselves to my project and have supported me through my many achievements and disappointments, both academic and personal. Jeani is an amazing historian who throughout my six years in Minnesota has continuously asked critical questions about my project that have triggered new ways of understanding what I was perceiving in the documentary record and how I eventually came to understand Alaska. Her immediate support and tireless enthusiasm for my radically different framing of Alaska’s relationship to the contiguous states and what that meant for Alaska Native sovereignty struggles encouraged me to continue theorizing settler imperialism and to have confidence that my research was not only worthwhile, but path breaking and relevant.

Sherman, Dean College o f Liberal Arts Michael A. Castellini, Dean o f the Graduate School Abstract Since WWII, Alaska has witnessed dramatic influxes and reductions in military personnel and funding. This thesis explores the drivers of these events. It applies two theories to analyze the trends: realist theory from international relations and the advocacy coalition framework from public policy. The thesis uses a case study framework and process-tracing to analyze three different time periods in Alaska’s history: 1) World War II (1940-1945), 2) the early Cold War era (1950-1958), and 3) the immediate post-Cold War era (1993-1999). This thesis argues that the level of international threat accounts for the United States’ decisions to increase or decrease its military forces, while the strength of advocacy coalitions comprised of a diverse array of actors determines the amount of military personnel and funding transferred to Alaska. iii iv Table of Contents Title Page..................................................................................................................................................... i Abstract .....................................................................................................................................................

The Alaska System Support Office provides central administrative support for these parks. The diversity of areas and their resources is reflected in their designation as national parks, monuments, preserves, and historical parks. These 15 areas represent more than 50% of the total acreage the National Park Service administers. The Alaska Field Area’s Cultural Resource Division works to inventory, evaluate, and preserve the cultural resources of the park areas and to bring an understanding of these resources to both the professional and lay public. The division, in cooperation with the park staffs, conducts ongoing studies of the area’s vast array of prehistoric, historic, and ethnographic sites to further that understanding and expand our limited knowledge of the 14,000-year human story in the Alaska parklands. Each year the division adds new information to the record of the many and varied peoples, both past and present, whose cultural legacies are embodied in the cultural resources of the parks. The National Park Service disseminates the results of inventories and surveys through the Resources Report series. Cultural resources documents in this technical series are prepared primarily for professional audiences and for internal use within the National Park Service. This information is not intended for wide public distribution.

The State of Alaska was farsighted in 1984 to recognize the Wickersham House’s importance and to acquire the house and its contents. Associated with a pre-eminent historical figure who established many of the statewide systems that we take for granted today, the property includes furnishings, personal belongings, ethnographic artifacts, and invaluable archival materials collected and used by Judge James Wickersham and his immediate family. This property provides the opportunity to interpret Alaska’s history through James Wickersham, considered by many historians as the most pivotal person in the state’s early 20th-century development.
