You may follow along with the order of service using the Book of Common Prayer, beginning on Page 115, or by visiting the link to the Book of Common Prayer online at bcponline.org, listed above this video. Let us begin our time together in silence. Silence may be kept. Alleluia! Christ is risen. The Lord is risen indeed. Alleluia! Thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. ​1 Corinthians 15:57 Confession of Sin The Officiant says to the people Let us confess our sins against God and our neighbor. Silence may be kept. Officiant and People together, all kneeling Most merciful God, ​we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done, and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us; that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your Name. Amen. Almighty God have mercy on us, forgive us all our sins through our Lord Jesus Christ, strengthen us in all goodness, and by the power of the Holy Spirit keep us in eternal life. Amen. The Invitatory and Psalter All stand Officiant O God, make speed to save us. People O Lord, make haste to help us. Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen. ​Alleluia. O Gracious Light BCP 118 / HYMNAL 25 Phos hilaron O gracious light, pure brightness of the everliving Father in heaven, O Jesus Christ, holy and blessed! Now as we come to the setting of the sun, and our eyes behold the vesper light, we sing your praises, O God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. You are worthy at all times to be praised by happy voices, O Son of God, O Giver of Life, and to be glorified through all the worlds. Psalm 104:17–25 BCP 736 Benedic, anima mea The trees of the Lord are full of sap, the cedars of Lebanon which he planted, In which the birds build their nests, and in whose tops the stork makes his dwelling. The high hills are a refuge for the mountain goats, and the stony cliffs for the rock badgers. You appointed the moon to mark the seasons, and the sun knows the time of its setting. You make darkness that it may be night, in which all the beasts of the forest prowl. The lions roar after their prey and seek their food from God. The sun rises, and they slip away and lay themselves down in their dens. Man goes forth to his work and to his labor until the evening. O Lord, how manifold are your works! in wisdom you have made them all; the earth is full of your creatures. Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen. The First Lesson A Reading from Prayer of Azariah and The Song of the Three Jews (52–59) Let the earth bless the Lord; let it sing praise to him and highly exalt him for ever. Bless the Lord, mountains and hills; sing praise to him and highly exalt him for ever. Bless the Lord, all that grows in the ground; sing praise to him and highly exalt him for ever. Bless the Lord, seas and rivers; sing praise to him and highly exalt him for ever. Bless the Lord, you springs; sing praise to him and highly exalt him for ever. Bless the Lord, you whales and all that swim in the waters; sing praise to him and highly exalt him for ever. Bless the Lord, all birds of the air; sing praise to him and highly exalt him for ever. Bless the Lord, all wild animals and cattle; sing praise to him and highly exalt him for ever. Reader The Word of the Lord. People Thanks be to God. The Song of Mary BCP 119 Magnificat Luke 1:46-55 My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord, my spirit rejoices in God my Savior; for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant. From this day all generations will call me blessed: the Almighty has done great things for me, and holy is his Name. He has mercy on those who fear him in every generation. He has shown the strength of his arm, he has scattered the proud in their conceit. He has cast down the mighty from their thrones, and has lifted up the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty. He has come to the help of his servant Israel, for he has remembered his promise of mercy, the promise he made to our fathers, to Abraham and his children for ever. Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen. The Second Lesson A Reading from Revelation 22:1–5 Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb through the middle of the street of the city. On either side of the river is the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, producing its fruit each month; and the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. Nothing accursed will be found there any more. But the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants will worship him; they will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. And there will be no more night; they need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they will reign for ever and ever. Reader The Word of the Lord. People Thanks be to God. The Song of Simeon BCP 120 Nunc Dimittis Luke 2:29-32 Lord, you now have set your servant free to go in peace as you have promised; For these eyes of mine have seen the Savior, whom you have prepared for all the world to see: A Light to enlighten the nations, and the glory of your people Israel. Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen. The Third Lesson A Reading from Luke 8:22–25 One day Jesus got into a boat with his disciples, and he said to them, “Let us go across to the other side of the lake.” So they put out, and while they were sailing he fell asleep. A windstorm swept down on the lake, and the boat was filling with water, and they were in danger. They went to him and woke him up, shouting, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” And he woke up and rebuked the wind and the raging waves; they ceased, and there was a calm. He said to them, “Where is your faith?” They were afraid and amazed, and said to one another, “Who then is this, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him?” Reader The Word of the Lord. People Thanks be to God. John Muir, ​Naturalist and Writer, 1914, and H​ udson Stuck, ​Priest and Environmentalist, 1920 Born in Scotland in 1838, John Muir immigrated to the United States in 1849, settling in Wisconsin. Muir sought the spiritual freedom of the natural world. As a college student, Muir studied botany, of which he later said, “This fine lesson charmed me and sent me flying to the woods and meadows with wild enthusiasm.” In 1868, Muir arrived in Yosemite Valley, California, which he called “the grandest of all the special temples of nature.” During a hiking trip through the Sierras, Muir developed theories about the development and ecosystem of the areas. Some years later, Muir took up the cause of preservation, eventually co-founding the Sierra Club, an association of environmental preservationists. Muir, an ardent believer in the national parks as “places of rest, inspiration, and prayers,” adamantly opposed the free exploitation of natural resources for commercial use. This position put him at odds with conservationists who saw natural forests as sources of timber and who wanted to conserve them for that reason. Muir was influential in convincing President Theodore Roosevelt that federal management and control were necessary to insure the preservation of the national forests. Today, he is revered as an inspiration for preservationists and his life’s work stands as a powerful testament to the majesty and beauty of God’s creation. Hudson Stuck was an Episcopal priest and explorer. Born in England in 1863, he came to the United States in 1885. He graduated from The University of the South in 1892. From 1894 to 1904, Stuck was Dean of the Episcopal Cathedral in Dallas, Texas. In 1905 he moved to Fort Yukon, Alaska, where he spent the rest of his life, serving as archdeacon of the Diocese of Alaska. With a group of fellow explorers, Stuck was the first to completely ascend Denali (Mt.

  • Iditarod National Historic Trail I Historic Overview — Robert King
    Iditarod National Historic Trail i Historic Overview — Robert King Introduction: Today’s Iditarod Trail, a symbol of frontier travel and once an important artery of Alaska’s winter commerce, served a string of mining camps, trading posts, and other settlements founded between 1880 and 1920, during Alaska’s Gold Rush Era. Alaska’s gold rushes were an extension of the American mining frontier that dates from colonial America and moved west to California with the gold discovery there in 1848. In each new territory, gold strikes had caused a surge in population, the establishment of a territorial government, and the development of a transportation system linking the goldfields with the rest of the nation. Alaska, too, followed through these same general stages. With the increase in gold production particularly in the later 1890s and early 1900s, the non-Native population boomed from 430 people in 1880 to some 36,400 in 1910. In 1912, President Taft signed the act creating the Territory of Alaska. At that time, the region’s 1 Iditarod National Historic Trail: Historic Overview transportation systems included a mixture of steamship and steamboat lines, railroads, wagon roads, and various cross-country trail including ones designed principally for winter time dogsled travel. Of the latter, the longest ran from Seward to Nome, and came to be called the Iditarod Trail. The Iditarod Trail today: The Iditarod trail, first commonly referred to as the Seward to Nome trail, was developed starting in 1908 in response to gold rush era needs. While marked off by an official government survey, in many places it followed preexisting Native trails of the Tanaina and Ingalik Indians in the Interior of Alaska.

  • Highlights for Fiscal Year 2013: Denali National Park
    Highlights for FY 2013 Denali National Park and Preserve (* indicates action items for A Call to Action or the park’s strategic plan) This year was one of changes and challenges, including from the weather. The changes started at the top, with the arrival of new Superintendent Don Striker in January 2013. He drove across the country to Alaska from New River Gorge National River in West Virginia, where he had been the superintendent for five years. He also served as superintendent of Mount Rushmore National Memorial (South Dakota) and Fort Clatsop National Memorial (Oregon) and as special assistant to the Comptroller of the National Park Service. Some of the challenges that will be on his plate – implementing the Vehicle Management Plan, re-bidding the main concession contract, and continuing to work on a variety of wildlife issues with the State of Alaska. Don meets Skeeter, one of the park’s sled dogs The park and its partners celebrated a significant milestone, the centennial of the first summit of Mt. McKinley, with several activities and events. On June 7, 1913, four men stood on the top of Mt. McKinley, or Denali as it was called by the native Koyukon Athabaskans, for the first time. By achieving the summit of the highest peak in North America, Walter Harper, Harry Karstens, Hudson Stuck, and Robert Tatum made history. Karstens would continue to have an association with the mountain and the land around it by becoming the first Superintendent of the fledgling Mt. McKinley National Park in 1921. *A speaker series featuring presentations by five Alaskan mountaineers and historians on significant Denali mountaineering expeditions, premiered on June 7thwith an illustrated talk on the 1913 Ascent of Mt.

  • Annual Mountaineering Summary: 2013
    Annual Mountaineering Summary: 2013 Celebrating a Century of Mountaineering on Denali Greetings from the recently re-named Walter Harper Talkeetna Ranger Station. With the September 2013 passage of the "Denali National Park Improvement Act", S. 157, a multi-faceted piece of legislation sponsored by Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski, Denali's mountaineering contact station is now designated the Walter Harper Talkeetna Ranger Station, honoring the achievements of Athabaskan native who was the first to set foot on the summit of Denali on June 7, 1913. Harper, a 20-year-old guide, dog musher, trapper/hunter raised in the Koyukuk region of Alaska, was an instrumen-tal member of the first ascent team which also included Hudson Stuck, Harry Karstens, and Robert Tatum. Tragically, Harper died in 1918 along with his bride during a honeymoon voyage to Seattle; their steamer SS Princess Sophia struck a reef and sank off the coast of Juneau in dangerous seas, killing all 343 passengers and crew. A century after his history-making achievement, Harper is immortalized in Denali National Park by the Harper Glacier that bears his name, and now at the park building that all mountaineers must visit before embarking on their Denali expeditions. The ranger station's new sign was installed in December 2013, and a small celebration is planned for spring 2014 to recognize the new designation. Stay tuned ... - South District Ranger John Leonard 2013 Quick Facts Denali recorded its most individual summits (783) in any one season. The summit success rate of 68% is the highest percentage since 1977. • US residents accounted for 60% of climbers (693).

Content, chronology, authorship, design, and relevance to northern and polar history were a few of the criteria used to evaluate the collection. Twenty items of particular value to the study of Alaskan history were selected and studied in depth.

  • History Time Line for Denali National Park & Preserve
    History Time Line For Denali National Park & Preserve c.15,000 B.C. Several separate cultural groups all belonging to the rich and complex to 1900’s Athabaskan tradition develop special refinements in tools, clothing, food processing, travel and housing that reflect their special knowledge of the Denali region they call home. Those occupying this area roam the upper reaches of the various river systems and the foothills of the Alaska Range in their search for the big game on which they depend. Those living in the Minchumina area northwest of the current park are some of the last Native Alaskans to be contacted by European/Americans. By the turn of the 20th century, diseases brought by non-native visitors, traders and settlers cause significant losses in Native populations. Other changes brought by newcomers to the Denali area cause severe distortions of Indian patterns of life to which current Athabaskan people continue to adapt. 1794 The first recorded reference to Mt. McKinley appears in the journal of British explorer George Vancouver. He notes “distant stupendous mountains covered with snow and apparently detached from each other.” 1834 Russian Creole explorer Andrei Glazunov notes in his journal that he “saw a great mountain called Tenada to the northeast.” His rendering of the name, Tenada, is traced to the Ingalik Dengadh. (The Koyukon name Deenaalee is the source of the modern Denali; all Athabaskan variants north of the Alaska Range mean “The High One.”) 1839 Baron Ferdinand von Wrangell, publishes a map of Alaska approximately locating the massif with the label “Tenada.” Due to cartographic ambiguities, the mountain is dropped from later Russian maps.

  • Patterns of Fish and Wildlife Use for Subsistence in Fort Yukon, Alaska
    PATTERNS OF FISH AND WILDLIFE USE FOR SUBSISTENCE IN FORT YUKON, ALASKA Valerie A. Sumida and David B. Andersen Technical Paper No. 179 Alaska Department of Fish and Game Division of Subsistence Fairbanks, Alaska December l!WO This research was partially supported by ANILCA Federal Aid Funds, administered through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Anchorage, Alaska, SG-1-7 and SG-1-8. ABSTRACT Fort Yukon, located along the Yukon River in northeastern interior Alaska, is the largest Athabaskan community in the state with an estimated population of 584 residents comprising 212 households in 1987. This study was undertaken to gather quantitative information on subsistence harvest and use of ftih and wildlife resources by Fort Yukon residents. These data, along with updated land use maps and socioeconomic information, were intended to complement a previous description of Fort Yukon subsistence activities published by the Division of Subsistence in 1983. Data collection took place from August 1987 through October 1988 using a household survey administered to a stratified sample of 72 (34 percent) of Fort Yukon households. Serving as the hub for administration and services in the Yukon Flats region and surrounding communities, 65 percent of the wage employment opportunities in Fort Yukon were in the federal, state, and local government sector. Jobs were predominantly seasonal or part-time in nature with only about 25 percent of jobs offering permanent, full-time employment. The median annual household income from all sources in 1987 was estimated to be $17,856. Among all households, the Alaska permanent fund dividend was the largest single source of non-wage income, averaging almost $1,529 per household.

  • Alaska Native History and Cultures Timeline
    Alaska Native History and Cultures Timeline 1741 and before 1648 Russian Semeon Dezhnev sails through Bering Strait and lands in the Diomede Islands. Russians in Siberia are aware of trade between Alaska, Chukchi, and Asiatic Eskimos. 1732 Russians M.S. Gvozdev and Ivan Fedorov in the Sv. Gabriel venture north from the Kamchatka Peninsula. Expedition members go ashore on Little Diomede Island and later sight the North America mainland at Cape Prince of Wales and King Island. Contacts with Natives are recorded. 1732- Russian expedition under Mikhail Gvozdev sights or lands on Alaska 1741 to 1867 1741 Vitus Bering, captain of the Russian vessel the St. Peter, sends men ashore on Kayak Island near today’s Cordova. Naturalist Georg Steller and Lt. Khitrovo collect ethnographic items during the time they spend on the island. This is generally accepted as the European discovery of Alaska because of the records and charts kept during the voyage. A month later, Bering makes contact with Native people near the Shumagin Islands. 1741 Several days before Bering saw land, Alexei Chirikov, captain of the St. Paul that had been separated from Bering’s vessel the St. Peter in a storm, sights land in Southeast Alaska. He sends two parties ashore, neither of which return. One day Natives in a canoe come from shore toward the ship, but no contact is made. With supplies low and the season growing late, the St. Paul heads back to Kamchatka. At Adak Island in the Aleutian Islands, Chirikov trades with Aleut men. According to oral tradition, the Tlingit of Southeast Alaska accepted the men into their community.
