The island is the second-largest in the United States, with the big island of Hawaii the only larger island. The Ko- diak National Wildlife Refuge covers 2/3 of Kodiak Island. The State of Alaska, various Alaska Native corporations, and private individuals own the remainder. The City of Kodiak is 250 air miles southwest of Anchor- age. Two airlines, Alaska Airlines (1-800-252-7522) and ERA Airlines (1-800-866-8394), have daily fl ights from Anchorage (depending on weather).

    NOTES on the BIRDS of CHIRIKOF ISLAND, ALASKA Jack J

    NOTES ON THE BIRDS OF CHIRIKOF ISLAND, ALASKA JACK J. WITHROW, University of Alaska Museum, 907 Yukon Drive, Fairbanks, Alaska 99775; [email protected] ABSTRACT: Isolated in the western Gulf of Alaska 61 km from nearest land and 74 km southwest of the Kodiak archipelago, Chirikof Island has never seen a focused investigation of its avifauna. Annotated status and abundance for 89 species recorded during eight visits 2008–2014 presented here include eastern range extensions for three Beringian subspecies of the Pacific Wren (Troglodytes pacificus semidiensis), Song Sparrow (Melospiza melodia sanaka), and Gray-crowned Rosy-Finch (Leucost- icte tephrocotis griseonucha). A paucity of breeding bird species is thought to be a result of the long history of the presence of introduced cattle and introduced foxes (Vulpes lagopus), both of which persist to this day. Unique among sizable islands in southwestern Alaska, Chirikof Island (55° 50′ N 155° 37′ W) has escaped focused investigations of its avifauna, owing to its geographic isolation, lack of an all-weather anchorage, and absence of major seabird colonies. In contrast, nearly every other sizable island or group of islands in this region has been visited by biologists, and they or their data have added to the published literature on birds: the Aleutian Is- lands (Gibson and Byrd 2007), the Kodiak archipelago (Friedmann 1935), the Shumagin Islands (Bailey 1978), the Semidi Islands (Hatch and Hatch 1983a), the Sandman Reefs (Bailey and Faust 1980), and other, smaller islands off the Alaska Peninsula (Murie 1959, Bailey and Faust 1981, 1984). With the exception of most of the Kodiak archipelago these islands form part of the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge (AMNWR), and many of these publications are focused largely on seabirds.

  • The Fur Trade

    The Fur Trade

    Meeting of Frontiers Alaska Teaching Unit: The Alaskan Fur Trade Roger Pearson Alaska Geographic Alliance Institute of the North Anchorage, AK Overview: The eastward expansion of the Russian empire into Siberia and America was integrally linked to the fur trade. By the mid-1600’s the Siberian fur trade accounted for approximately 10 percent of Russia’s total revenue. Exploitation of resources, not sustained yield, dominated resource extraction. Consequently, new areas and new resources were constantly needed. Russian America and the sea otter became the easternmost great fur resource frontier for Imperial Russia. This unit utilizes comparative tables, statistical data, maps, original documents, and images to allow students to develop their own impressions of the Russian American fur trade and its impact on the people and landscape. Standards: Geography Standards: Geography 1. Students will use maps and other geographic representations, tools, and technologies to acquire, process, and report information from a spatial perspective. Geography 17.

Alaska Native Villages by Name A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Alaska is home to 229 federally recognized Alaska Native Villages located across a wide geographic area, whose records are as diverse as the people themselves. Customs, culture, artwork, and native language often differ dramatically from one community to another. Some are nestled within large communities while others are small and remote. Some are urbanized while others practice subsistence living. Still, there are fundamental relationships that have endured for thousands of years. One approach to understanding links between Alaska Native communities is to group them by language. This helps the student or researcher to locate related communities in a way not possible by other means. It also helps to define geographic areas in the huge expanse that is Alaska.

    A Brief Look at the History and Culture of Woody Island, Alaska

    A Brief Look At The History April 25 and Culture of Woody Island, 2010 Alaska This document is intended to be a brief lesson on the prehistory and history of Woody Island and the Kodiak Archipelago. It is also intended to be used as a learning resource for fifth graders who By Gordon Pullar Jr. visit Woody Island every spring. Introduction Woody Island is a peaceful place with a lush green landscape and an abundance of wild flowers. While standing on the beach on a summer day a nice ocean breeze can be felt and the smell of salt water is in the air. The island is covered by a dense spruce forest with a forest floor covered in thick soft moss. Woody Island is place where one can escape civilization and enjoy the wilderness while being only a 15 minute boat ride from Kodiak. While experiencing Woody Island today it may be hard for one to believe that it was once a bustling community, even larger in population than the City of Kodiak. The Kodiak Archipelago is made up of 25 islands, the largest being Kodiak Island. Kodiak Island is separated from mainland Alaska by the Shelikof Strait. Kodiak Island is approximately 100 miles long and 60 miles wide and is the second largest island in the United States behind the “big” island of Hawaii. The city of Kodiak is the largest community on the island with a total population of about 6,000 (City Data 2008), and the entire Kodiak Island Borough population is about 13,500 people (Census estimate 2009).
