University of Alberta Caribou Hunting at Ice Patches: Seasonal Mobility and Long-term Land-Use in the Southwest Yukon By Vandy E.

In memory of Tagish ABSTRACT Recently documented ice patch sites in the southwest Yukon are ideal for evaluating precontact hunter-gatherer land-use patterns in the western subarctic. Located in the alpine of the mountainous regions of the boreal forest, ice patches are associated with well preserved hunting equipment, caribou (Rangifer tarandus) dung and an abundance of faunal remains dating to over 8000 years ago. However, current models are inadequate for explaining caribou hunting at ice patches as they tend to emphasize large-scale communal hunts associated with latitudinal movements of caribou. Much less is known about the alititudinal movment of caribou and the associated hunting forays to ice patches in the alpine. -

Seventh Ave., Suite 1310, Anchorage, AK 99501-3565; [email protected] Randolph M. Tedor Office of History and Archaeology, Alaska Department of Natural Resources J. David McMahan Office of History and Archaeology, Alaska Department of Natural Resources ABSTRACT The Alaska Office of History and Archaeology conducted ice patch surveys in the Denali Highway re- gion of central Alaska for three seasons. Prehistoric organic and lithic hunting artifacts and fauna had melted from the ice patches and were subsequently recovered. These items include arrow shafts, barbed antler points, lithic projectile points, and what is likely a stick for setting ground squirrel snares. Or- ganic artifacts recovered from this survey date within the last thousand years. Lithic projectile points recovered from ice patches suggest that prehistoric hunters have been hunting caribou on ice patches in the Denali Highway region for at least the last half of the Holocene. keywords: atlatl, bow and arrow, gopher stick, mountain archaeology INTRODUCTION Ice patches with caribou (Rangifer tarandus) dung and cul- al. 2005; Hare et al. 2004a, Hare et al. 2004b).

HAINES BOROUGH ASSEMBLY, ET AL. IBLA 95-496, etc. 1/ Decided June 30, 1998 Consolidated appeals from a Decision of the Anchorage District Office, Bureau of Land Management, Alaska, approving issuance of commercial special recreation use permits AA-76601 and AA-77475. Affirmed. 1. Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976: Permits--Public Lands: Special Use Permits--Special Use Permits The Bureau of Land Management has discretion under 43 U.S.C. § 1732(b) (1994) and 43 C.F.R. Subpart 8372 to issue special recreation permits for commercial helicopter landings on public lands and to set permit conditions. There must be a compelling reason for modification or reversal of an exercise of this discretionary authority. Mere differences of opinion provide no basis for reversal, and the Board will affirm a decision exercising this authority if the decision is reasonable and supported by the record. 2. Environmental Policy Act--Environmental Quality: Environmental Statements-- National Environmental Policy Act of 1969: Environmental Statements-- National Environmental Policy Act of 1969: Finding of No Significant Impact A BLM finding of no significant impact for a proposed action (allowing landings of helicopters on glaciers on BLM lands) will be affirmed on appeal where BLM took a ____________________________________ 1/ This Decision disposes of the following appeals: Haines Borough Assembly, IBLA 95-496; Lynn Canal Conservation, Inc., IBLA 95-509; City of Skagway, IBLA 95-531; George Figdor, IBLA 95-540; Timothy R.

Steve Mccutcheon Collection, B1990.014
REFERENCE CODE: AkAMH REPOSITORY NAME: Anchorage Museum at Rasmuson Center Bob and Evangeline Atwood Alaska Resource Center 625 C Street Anchorage, AK 99501 Phone: 907-929-9235 Fax: 907-929-9233 Email: [email protected] Guide prepared by: Sara Piasecki, Archivist TITLE: Steve McCutcheon Collection COLLECTION NUMBER: B1990.014 OVERVIEW OF THE COLLECTION Dates: circa 1890-1990 Extent: approximately 180 linear feet Language and Scripts: The collection is in English. Name of creator(s): Steve McCutcheon, P.S. Hunt, Sydney Laurence, Lomen Brothers, Don C. Knudsen, Dolores Roguszka, Phyllis Mithassel, Alyeska Pipeline Services Co., Frank Flavin, Jim Cacia, Randy Smith, Don Horter Administrative/Biographical History: Stephen Douglas McCutcheon was born in the small town of Cordova, AK, in 1911, just three years after the first city lots were sold at auction. In 1915, the family relocated to Anchorage, which was then just a tent city thrown up to house workers on the Alaska Railroad. McCutcheon began taking photographs as a young boy, but it wasn’t until he found himself in the small town of Curry, AK, working as a night roundhouse foreman for the railroad that he set out to teach himself the art and science of photography. As a Deputy U.S. Marshall in Valdez in 1940-1941, McCutcheon honed his skills as an evidential photographer; as assistant commissioner in the state’s new Dept. of Labor, McCutcheon documented the cannery industry in Unalaska. From 1942 to 1944, he worked as district manager for the federal Office of Price Administration in Fairbanks, taking photographs of trading stations, communities and residents of northern Alaska; he sent an album of these photos to Washington, D.C., “to show them,” he said, “that things that applied in the South 48 didn’t necessarily apply to Alaska.” 1 1 Emanuel, Richard P.
