    INTERROGATING INTIMACIES: ASIAN AMERICAN AND NATIVE RELATIONS IN COLONIAL ALASKA A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY JULIANA PEGUES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY JIGNA DESAI, CO-ADVISOR ERIKA LEE, CO-ADVISOR AUGUST 2013 Copyright © 2013 by Juliana Pegues ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Portions of an earlier version of Chapter 3 were published in “Rethinking Relations: Interracial Intimacies of Asian Men and Native Women in Alaskan Canneries,” Interventions: International Journal of Postcolonial Studies, 15, no. 1 (March 2013): 55-66; copyright Taylor & Francis Group; reprinted with permission of Taylor & Francis Group. A slightly different version of Chapter 4 will be published in “’Picture Man’: Shoki Kayamori and the Photography of Colonial Encounter in Alaska, 1912-1941,” College Literature: A Journal of Critical Literary Studies. Thank you to the editors and special edition editors of these journals. Many people have guided and supported me throughout my dissertation process, and I’m delighted to have the opportunity to recognize them. I am grateful to my committee, exemplary scholars who challenge me to deeply engage and critically think through my project. My advisors Erika Lee and Jigna Desai have been everything I could ask for and more, both phenomenal academics who motivate me to be a better scholar, teacher, parent, and community member. Erika is a formidable historian who has provided me with invaluable training, always asking the important “why?” of my research and project, especially my contributions to Asian American studies. Erika encourages me to “embrace my inner historian,” and I would like to state for the record that she inspires me time and time again to research and write important, compelling, and creative historical narratives.

Theodoratus, Hoonah Tlingit Use of Glacier Bay: Annotated Bibliography. August 2015 Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve PO Box 439/Mile 106.8 Richardson Highway Copper Center AK 99573 www.nps.gov/wrst Completed under Cooperative Agreement H8W0711000, Task Agreement J8W07100006, between Portland State University and the National Park Service, Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve. Introduction The following annotated bibliography was compiled as part of a project to develop an ethnographic overview and assessment for Yakutat Tlingit and Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve, which is available as a separate document. While this annotated bibliography is meant to serve as a guide for the research for the aforementioned ethnographic overview and assessment, it also serves as a standalone product that can be used as a resource for both agency and tribal representatives, as well as other individuals interested in researching the Wrangell-St. Elias lands, Yakutat Tlingit, historical narratives related to the region and a variety of other related topics. While the sources listed and annotated in this bibliography were reviewed specifically for references to Wrangell-St. Elias and Yakutat Tlingit, they were also reviewed for the purpose of developing a more general understanding of the cultural and historical context in which Yakutat Tlingit existed and evolved from the pre-contact era into the contemporary period.
