  • Brown Bear (Ursus Arctos) John Schoen and Scott Gende Images by John Schoen
    Brown Bear (Ursus arctos) John Schoen and Scott Gende images by John Schoen Two hundred years ago, brown (also known as grizzly) bears were abundant and widely distributed across western North America from the Mississippi River to the Pacific and from northern Mexico to the Arctic (Trevino and Jonkel 1986). Following settlement of the west, brown bear populations south of Canada declined significantly and now occupy only a fraction of their original range, where the brown bear has been listed as threatened since 1975 (Servheen 1989, 1990). Today, Alaska remains the last stronghold in North America for this adaptable, large omnivore (Miller and Schoen 1999) (Fig 1). Brown bears are indigenous to Southeastern Alaska (Southeast), and on the northern islands they occur in some of the highest-density FIG 1. Brown bears occur throughout much of southern populations on earth (Schoen and Beier 1990, Miller et coastal Alaska where they are closely associated with salmon spawning streams. Although brown bears and grizzly bears al. 1997). are the same species, northern and interior populations are The brown bear in Southeast is highly valued by commonly called grizzlies while southern coastal populations big game hunters, bear viewers, and general wildlife are referred to as brown bears. Because of the availability of abundant, high-quality food (e.g. salmon), brown bears enthusiasts. Hiking up a fish stream on the northern are generally much larger, occur at high densities, and have islands of Admiralty, Baranof, or Chichagof during late smaller home ranges than grizzly bears. summer reveals a network of deeply rutted bear trails winding through tunnels of devil’s club (Oplopanx (Klein 1965, MacDonald and Cook 1999) (Fig 2).

  • October 26, 1882- October 26, 2006
    October 26, 1882- October 26, 2006 —Wé yakyee agaal haa jineiyí geinyaax yei tuwtuwangoogu yé .“ —The Day We Paid For A Crime We Didn‘t Commit.“ A memorial party hosted by the Raven House of the Deisheetaan (Raven/Beaver Clan) is being held in Angoon on October 28th. My memories take me back to the 100 th anniversary commemoration of the bombardment of Angoon by the U.S. Navy which took place on October 26th 1882 . My great-grandfather Káa tlein (John Paul, Jr.) figured he was about 17 years of age at that time. He was in Kootznahoo Inlet when the bombardment took place and word got back to them that the village was being burned. When they got back the village was gone. My grandmother Sxaalgén (Annie Jacobs) seated on the lap of her father Káatlein (John Paul, Jr.) with her brother Saa.aat‘ (Harvey Paul) standing next to them. (personal col., ca. 1900) One canoe survived the bombardment, and I heard those stories from the time I was able to toddle off to my grandparents‘ house two houses away, to the time we found that very canoe prow in the American Museum of Natural History in NYC in January 1999. Later, John Paul would inherit that very canoe and it was while it was in his care that the prow piece disappeared. The museum returned it in September 1999 and it was welcomed back with a large ceremony the following month. If it wasn‘t for that one canoe, Angoon probably wouldn‘t exist today as it does, a stronghold of Tlingit culture, —Still practicing and living the culture from day to day, and not just every two years.“ as one of their clan leaders remarked.

  • A Preliminary History of Admiralty Island: 1794-1942
    A PRELIMINARY HISTORY OF ADMIRALTY ISLAND: 1794 - 1942 BARRY RODERICK Box #748 Douglas, Alaska PREFACE This preliminary history of Admiralty Island was assemb l ed under contract for the U.S. Forest Service between September 1981 and August 1982. It covers a restricted era and area , in fulfillment of the contract -- "to provide an overview of the historic era of human occupation on Admira lty Island National Monument ... t he historic l and and resource patterns from the earliest contact with Caucasian explorers t hroug h the CCC era. 11 Time and funding limits for t hi s project essenti al ly provided for only a document search in Juneau (see Appendix I) . Th erefore, the following paper is in no way definitive. Documentation of the use of Admiralty Island falls into three phases -- ethno-archeographic , historic and politico-economic. The U.S. Forest Service contract specified a history of Admiralty Island from 1794-1942 . Overlap of these three categories occurs even with this project's limited scope. For examp l e, when do traditional Native even ts become hi storic? Do the clan wars of the Mid-1800' s that involved the Kootznoowoo Tlingi t belong in this paper? The Shelling of Angoon in 1882 ce rtainly doe s -­ beca use of the wea 1th of documentation of the event. Undoubtedly, t he clan wars would also belong in this paper; however, the ever-present time and funding limitations prevented the amount of documentation that would place them in a historical context -- as distinct from an ethno­ archeographic tradition.
