  • CHAPTER 18: the RETURN 257 with the Body of Martha Newell Was Lifted Aboard for Its Journey Home
    Chapter 18 The Return he most dramatic account of the voyage back to the islands appears in a letter Marion V. Benedict wrote.1 She was a “special assistant” assigned to T Akutan; that is, she was the village school-teacher. Just as the Branch was about to sail on April 15, George Dushkin approached her and her husband and requested a telegram be sent to the administrator of the church in Sitka, Archimandrite John Zlobin, to pray for them while they traveled.2 Benedict was impressed by this request. “Did I ever tell you,” she wrote, “these are the nicest people we have ever worked with? They had burned their altar from the church at Ward Lake and were taking the ashes with them to be buried under the church in their own village.” As a matter of fact, Zlobin had written to Anfesia Shapsnikoff at Burnett Inlet on April 9. “Also I calling on you and your children,” he wrote in halting English, “Bless of God befor you move from Burnett Inlet and during you move from Burnett all way till you come to Unalaska, let God and Mother of God help you and save you....”3 In a postscript he sent a blessing to the church committee and to the entire congregation. Despite the illness of Chief Mark Petikoff, joy pervaded the ship as it pulled away from Ketchikan. Children flooded the decks and explored every cabin and corner, to the alarm of the captain who soon arranged to have certain areas made off limits. Unanga{ assisted preparing and serving meals and helping with other chores.

  • Moose Hunters in - Southwest Alaska a Better Opportunity to Evaluate Antlers
    280 AN EVALUATION OF TROPHY MOOSE MANAGEMENT ON THE ALASKA PENINSULA Christian A. Smith, Alaska Dept. of Fish and Game, King Salmon, Alaska James B. Faro, Alaska Dept. of Fish and Game, Anchorage, Alaska Nicholas C. Steen, Alaska Dept. of Fish and Game, King Salmon, Alaska '" Abstract: an experimental trophy management program was initiated on the Alaska Peninsula in 1976 with the imple­ mentation of a regulation requiring that all harvested bull moose (AZaes aZaes gigas) have antlers with at least a 50 inch spread. The regulation was designed to protect bulls under 5 years of age, to test the capability of hunters to comply with minimum size requirements, and to determine the potential for maintaining trophy class bulls in the population through this approach. The first two objectives have been accomplished. Nearly 70 - percent of the harvested bulls have been 5 or more years old and only 4 percent of the bulls taken were illegal. Adequate survey data are not available to determine current proportions of trophy bulls in the herd. In view of the declining nature of the population and increasing frequency - of 5 year olds in the kill, however, it seems likely that current harvests may be curtailing recruitment beyond age 5. Although this may not further affect average trophy size, availability of trophy class animals could eventually be - limited to the size of the 5 year old cohort. The moose population of the central Alaska Peninsula, Game Management - Unit 9E, appears to have established via i11111igration southwest from the Naknek River drainage in the early 1930's (Faro 1969).

Bland ii As the nation’s principal conservation agency, the Department of the Interior has re- sponsibility for most of our nationally owned public lands and natural and cultural resources. This includes fostering the wisest use of our land and water resources, protecting our fish and wildlife, preserving the environmental and cultural values of our national parks and historical places, and providing for enjoyment of life through outdoor recreation. The Shared Beringian Heritage Program at the National Park Service is an international program that rec- ognizes and celebrates the natural resources and cultural heritage shared by the United States and Russia on both sides of the Bering Strait. The program seeks local, national, and international participation in the preservation and understanding of natural resources and protected lands and works to sustain and protect the cultural traditions and subsistence lifestyle of the Native peoples of the Beringia region.

  • 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. Students will apply geography to interpret the past. Geographic Skills: • Asking geographic Questions • Acquiring geographic information • Organizing geographic information • Analyzing geographic information • Answering geographic questions Historical Thinking Standards: 2.
