    Tanner Skenderian | Museum Assignment 2 Anthro 1218 Harvard’s Own St. Lawrence Island Umiak The Umiak model at the Harvard Museum of Natural History Model best resembles that of St. Lawrence Island The umiak was a symbol of community and a staple for survival for many native populations of circumpolar North America. Dating back as far as 2,000 years, the umiak has varied slightly in coordination with the needs and customs of different populations. The model of an umiak at the Harvard Museum of Natural History was catalogued with very little information about the specific boat it represents. Through closer analysis of its construction and a few minor exceptions, this model arguably is the closest in resemblance to the umiak of St. Lawrence Island. The structure and construction of the St. Lawrence Island umiak is one of the more well- documented despite the fact that traditional boat construction is passed down generation to generation (Fair, 2005: 235). St. Lawrence Island is located in Nome, Alaska, in the southern inlet of the Bering Strait. Umiaks are distinct from kayaks, structures sometimes referred to as “Eskimo Hunting Boats,” for their wider shape and lack of a super-structure (United States National Museum, 1964: 190). The claims that support that this is an umiak of St. Lawrence Island, despite the fact that it is catalogued as an “Oomiak” of Northern Labrador and not Alaska, will hopefully be dispelled in the pages that follow. Walrus hide typically bounds the umiak, commonly known as a skin boat. The St. Lawrence Island umiak was typically bound in the hide of a female walrus.

    TRADITIONAL TRANSPORTATION: ANYAQ GR: 3-5 LESSON 9 Elder Quote/Belief: “For the anyaq it was used in times of war and times of trade, or moving villages from summer to winter camps. Also, those boats were used to flip upside down and used as shelters” -John Johnson (During the Cultural Heritage Quarterly Meeting, September 13, 2017) ) Grade Level: 3-5 Overview: The large open skin boat (anyaq) was used throughout the Chugach Region to transport groups of people. Anyaqs were made from female sea lion skins, and sewn with sinew around wood frames. It was important to note that the anyaq was sometimes used for shelter on land while traveling long distances by turning it upside down.

  • Reconstructing the St . Lawrence Island Kayak
    RECONSTRUCTING THE ST. LAWRENCE ISLAND KAYAK: FROM FORGOTTEN WATERCRAFT TO A BERING SEA MARITIME NETWORK Evguenia Anichtchenko Center for Maritime Archaeology, University of Southampton, 7009 Madelynne Way, Anchorage, AK 99504; [email protected] ABSTRACT St. Lawrence Island kayaks are absent in both museum collections and written historical sources. At the same time, the pictorial record, indigenous oral lore, and archaeological data point to uninter- rupted use of kayaks well into the beginning of the twentieth century. Drawing on the analysis of kayak data from four archaeological sites, this article reconstructs structural details and discusses the history of the St. Lawrence kayak over the last millennium; it also analyzes the values of these data for understanding prehistoric maritime networks of the Bering Sea.
