This research effort centered on the identification and documentation of natural and cultural resources associated with traditional uses of Aniakchak National Monument and Preserve (hereafter “Aniakchak”) by Alaska Native communities in the region. Specifically, this research sought to illuminate three broad themes: 1) Historic uses of park land and resources by Alaska Native groups within and around the modern-day boundaries of Aniakchak, 2) Present-day use of park land and resources by Alaska Native groups within the boundaries of ANIA, and 3) Uses of land and resources near or related to Aniakchak that may affect, or be affected by, NPS management actions. To conduct this research, the National Park Service (NPS) entered into a cooperative task agreement with the Pacific Northwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). Housed within the College of Forest Resources at the University of Washington, the PNW CESU is itself the home of the Protected Area Social Research Unit, which took principal responsibility for the current project. Ms. Michele Morseth was hired by the PNW CESU to direct this project, and Morseth served as Project Manager during the interview and archival phases of the research. Although the major emphasis of this research has been on Aniakchak, it was necessary to collect data covering areas outside the park unit in order to provide a meaningful cultural context for analysis. Moreover, general data collection focusing on the historic and contemporary lifeways of Aniakchak-area Native peoples was deemed necessary to document the use and importance of culturally significant resources occurring within Aniakchak. The study identified specific uses of park resources by Native Alaskan communities, while also attempting to identify some of the effects of such use on natural resources, as well as any effects of NPS operations at Aniakchak on Native Alaskan uses of lands and resources. An important component of the study was to identify traditional access methods and routes, as changing transportation routes and technologies appeared to have facilitated changing patterns of resource use within ANIA, and motorized access to Aniakchak continues to be a point of debate today. Aniakchak TUUGS, Draft Report 1 As a National Park Service “Traditional Use Study,” this study has emphasized the collection of original ethnographic data, rather than prioritizing the gathering and synthesis of published materials.1 An earlier Ethnographic Overview and Assessment involved literature review; this literature review also informed and guided the current project (Morseth 2003). While the current research did not seek to identify “ethnographic resources,” it did aim to identify culturally significant resources, including those designated by other terms and cross-listed in other NPS inventories.2 Sites categorized as archeological for preservation purposes, for example, are associated with ethnographic information if Native peoples consider them to be appropriate places for historical memorialization, the teaching of young people, or ceremonial activities. Members of traditionally associated groups may also ascribe meaning to objects in park collections perceived as sacred or as items associated with Native Alaskan cultural identity and heritage. They may also assign meanings to localities and landscapes, where reference points are based on collective notions of past or present use. The current research effort was conducted to achieve multiple complimentary goals. The ethnographic information resulting from this research effort shall augments a database of cultural resource data that is used by NPS staff to better understand and consider impacts to culturally significant resources which result from proposed actions and to identify traditionally associated Native groups for purposes of consultation under the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), and other cultural resource laws. Ethnographic information collected during this study can also assist NPS natural resource management, cultural resource management (especially the management of archeological sites), and interpretation. Among other applications, the information shall help managers evaluate requests for access to resources, as well as identify park resources that may require special treatment or protection. Aniakchak TUUGS, Draft Report 2 METHODS In consultation with the National Park Service (NPS), the Protected Area Social Research Unit in the College of Forest Resources at the University of Washington employed Michele Morseth, an applied cultural anthropologist, as Project Manager, to plan and execute this research. Working directly with NPS staff and the NPS CESU Coordinator, the project manager prepared a research plan to guide all project phases; this plan included an overview of the types of interview questions to be asked of knowledgeable individuals (see Appendix A). Concurrently, NPS staff assisted the project manager in communicating with village representatives

    A Watershed Database for National Parks in Southwestern Alaska and a System for Further Watershed-based Analysis David M. Mixon 2005 Introduction This document describes a project designed to delineate and quantitatively describe watersheds located within or flowing into or out of national park lands in the National Inventory and Monitoring program’s Southwest Alaskan Network (SWAN) of parks. The parks included in this study are Aniakchak National Monument & Preserve, Katmai National Park & Preserve, Lake Clark National Park & Preserve, and Kenai Fjords National Park. This effort was undertaken to support decision-making processes related to the Inventory and Monitoring program’s goals. A variety of environmental and physical attributes were collected for each watershed using remotely sensed data in the form of a geographic information system (GIS). The GIS data used is from a variety of sources with variable quality. The nature of GIS analysis is such that many times a newer, higher-resolution dataset may become available during the course of any given study. For this reason, a set of scripts and methods are provided, making the incorporation of newer datasets as easy as possible. The goal is to provide an initial analysis of park hydrology as well as a means for updating the database with a minimal amount of effort. It was necessary to choose a watershed size (stream order) that would provide sufficient detail for each park and allow useful comparison of basins within the parks while minimizing the complexity of the study. Review of standards for hydrologic unit delineation being used for the National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) (FGDC, 2002), suggested that the officially designated level 5 watersheds would provide the level of detail desired while minimizing redundancy.

    Fishery Management Plan ALASKA PENINSULA BECHAROF NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGES July 1994 Region 7 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service • Department of the Interior FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN ALASKA PENINSULA AND BECHAROF NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGES Fiscal Years 1994 - 1998 Prepared By: King Salmon Fishery Resource Office U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service P.O. Box 277 King Salmon, Alaska 99613 May 1994 SUMMARY STATEMENT The Alaska Peninsula and Becharof National Wildlife Refuges Fishery Management Plan (Plan) provides the management direction necessary to ensure conservation of fishery resources and habitat. In addition, the Plan provides for continued use of fishery resources by subsistence, commercial, and recreational users consistent with the purposes for which the Alaska Peninsula and Becharof refuges (Complex) were established and are managed. The Complex's biological and physical environment is described and fishery resources, human use, management history, and major issues and concerns are discussed. This information was obtained from the Refuge Comprehensive Conservation Plans, a literature search, and discussions with Alaska Department of Fish and Game personnel. Objectives and tasks are developed to address the issues and concerns. Federal tasks are assigned priorities and costs for each year of continuation. The Plan encompasses a five year period, at which time it will be revised. Major issues and concerns identified include the following: competition between user groups; incomplete salmon escapement data bases to refine management of the Complex fish populations; and inadequate fishery law enforcement. In some cases, concerns were identified because of the perception that they would develop into serious problems if current levels of use or consumption were allowed to continue or expand.

  • Ugashik Lakes
    Chapter 3 - Region 13: Ugashik Lakes Region 13: Ugashik Lakes Summary of Resources and Uses in the Region Region Boundary Region 13 includes the uplands on a portion of the Alaska Peninsula that includes the Ugashik Lakes and the area eastwards to the boundary of the Lake and Peninsula Borough (Map 3-13). The Region is bounded on the west and north by Region 12, on the east by the Kodiak Island Borough. The southern boundary is generally along the Dog Salmon River corridor. There are no communities in the Region. Except for navigable waterbodies and three sections, there are no other state-owned or selected uplands in Region 13. State Lands: Ownership and Acreage State-owned navigable waterbodies, notably Upper and Lower Ugashik Lakes, dominate the western one-quarter of the Region. Much of the remainder is in Federal ownership and within the Alaska Peninsula National Wildlife Refuge. Native ownership of land is concentrated southwest of Lower Ugashik Lake between the Ugashik River and the Dog Salmon River. The plan applies to 1,541 acres of state-owned uplands. The plan also applies to state-owned shorelands (acreages of shorelands have not been calculated). Physical Geography Region 13 is within the Alaska Peninsula ecological province and encompasses some well dissected but rugged terrain. Drainage is predominantly westward towards Bristol Bay. The principal drainages are the Ugashik Lakes and tributaries including Ugashik, Crooked, Moore, Deer, and Black Creeks. The western portion of the Region rises to the spine of the Alaska Peninsula; thus the highest elevations are attained along the eastern boundary of the Region in the vicinity of Deer Mountain (elev.

  • Navigable Rivers and Lakes
    Chapter 3 – Navigable Rivers and Lakes Navigable Rivers and Lakes Management Intent of Navigable Waterbodies Background The intent of the plan is to designate and provide management intent for the shorelands under all navigable waterbodies. There are so many navigable rivers and lakes in the planning area that it is not practical to state the management intent for each individual waterbody. Therefore the plan identifies general management intent and designations for most of the waterbodies within the planning area. In some cases, however, specific designations are identified for a particular waterbody because of the size, uniqueness, or particular values and functions of a river or lake. The term "shorelands" is defined as land belonging to the state, which is covered by non-tidal water that is navigable under the laws of the United States up to the ordinary high water mark as modified by accretion, erosion, or reliction (AS 38.05.965). See Figure 1.1 at the beginning of Chapter 1 for a diagram that illustrates the differences between shorelands, submerged lands, and uplands. Shorelands are not identified on the preceding plan designation maps within this Chapter. Identification of all such waterbodies is impractical on maps of the scale used in this plan. The DNR records on navigability and hydrology must be consulted in order to determine whether a specific stream or lake is likely to be navigable. These records are available in the Public Access Assertion & Defense Unit, Division of Mining, Land, and Water in Anchorage. For further information on the state’s navigability policy, go to http://www.dnr.state.ak.us/mlw/nav/nav_policy.htm Public Trust Doctrine The Public Trust Doctrine provides that public trust lands, waters and living natural resources in a state are held by the state in trust for the benefit of all the people, and establishes the right of the public to fully utilize the public trust lands, waters, and resources for a wide variety of public uses.
