ProQuest LLC 789 East Eisenhower Parkway P.O. Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract This dissertation explores the ways in which Gwich'in women's lives have changed over the past century through the life story and historical and cultural reflections of Vera Englishoe, a Neets'qjj Gwich'in woman in her late 50s from Venetie and Fort Yukon. Vera's story illustrates one woman's pathway through changing times and provides an example of resilience in the face of family and community turmoil. This work also shows how Vera uses stories to sustain herself and others amid dialogues that challenge Gwich'in identity and how the Gwich'in approach to knowledge, understanding, and stories emphasize personal experience and accountability, promotes independent thinking on the part of the listener and acknowledges ambiguity and multiplicity in meaning. Through Vera's dialogue we see how stories of personal experience are offered to help others understand their own experiences and how putting stories into writing can be an extension of this tradition. Vera hopes her stories will remind people of the strength of Gwich'in culture and community and that they help others with similar experiences: that "maybe an answer is in there." In this work I employ a dialogic approach to reading Vera's stories because this comes closest to Vera's and Gwich'in ideas about how knowledge and understanding is gained and passed on through stories. Each person's experiences lead them to engage in the dialogue differently and thus find their own understanding. Offering a story acknowledges the ambiguity of understanding and the fluidity of storytelling and story listening. Through exploring multiple discourses and providing a "reading" instead of an interpretation of Vera's narrative I hope that "maybe something is in there" that will help others understand Vera's words. Vera's approach to her life story illustrates a way of using life stories not simply to record culture and history, but to engage others in a broader attempt to create and reinforce shared meaning and identity. This requires a way of looking at the collaborative process in the production of life histories that emphasizes continuing dialogues and negotiated meanings between all parties.

  • 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.

  • Good News Lent 2013
    The Good News From the Office of the Bishop The Rt. Rev. Mark LaHime, 8th Bishop of Alaska Lent 2013 Episcopal Diocese of Alaska, 1205 Denali Way, Fairbanks, Alaska 99701 ~ www.episcopalak.org ~ [email protected] Lent 2013 I pray that as you read this edion of the “Good News” you are enjoying a meaningful Lenten Season. Please keep in mind that the season of Lent is not intended to be a period of penitent fear and anxious brooding under the scruny of an angry God such that it seems the only purpose you can find in observing Lent is to “get it right by Easter or get sent to Hell.” Although that is the message o en “preached” in many churches, there is nothing especially orthodox about this theological perspecve of God as divine punisher for sin. In fact, one might argue that this perspecve draws into queson the uncondional mercy and love of God who alone can make in us new and contrite hearts. It is God’s love, freely given and unearned, that sets us free not only for the hope of a place in heaven, but to serve God’s mission of jusce and peace on earth. Lent is a season for leng go of the fears and bonds that hold us back from receiving God’s love to be transformed in our hearts and in our lives for the service of God’s jusce and peace. Hymn 145 from the Hymnal 1982, words by Percy Dearmer, which is found in the “Lent” secon of the hymnal, sounds this Lenten Theme: “Now quit your care and anxious fear and worry; for schemes are vain and freng brings no gain.

A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Indigenous Studies University of Alaska Fairbanks May 2018 © 2018 Charlene Barbara Stern APPROVED: Dr. Michael Koskey, Committee Co-Chair Dr. Beth Leonard, Committee Co-Chair Dr. F. Stuart Chapin III, Committee Member Dr. kas aruskevich, Committee Member Dr. Michael Koskey, Chair, Center for Cross-Cultural Studies Mr. Todd Sherman, Dean, College of Liberal Arts Dr. Michael Castellini, Dean o f the Graduate School Abstract This study focuses on the Neets’^jj Gwich’in, whose traditional territory is located in the northeastern interior of Alaska, and their experiences with planning and development. Prior to settling into permanent villages, the Neets’^jj lived in widely scattered camps moving in relation to seasonal subsistence resources. Equipped with extensive knowledge of their country, Neets’^jj people knew at any given time where the best places for certain animals and resources were and thus would camp closer to those areas. According to Neets’^jj oral history, life in the “those days” was preoccupied with basic survival. Planning ahead, being prepared, and adapting to changing conditions were some of the key strategies that enabled the Neets’^jj to survive from one generation to the next in one of the harshest climates in the world.
