  • Find Alaska Info!
    Find Alaska Info! Dear Student: Thank you for writing to request information about Alaska. This fl yer contains some interesting information about our great state. Alaska became the 49th state in 1959, right before Hawaii became the 50th state that same year. Many of Alaska’s 722,200 people live in modern cities, and many live in small remote villages where their families have lived for thousands of years. The population of Anchorage, Alaska’s largest city, is 296,000. Juneau (population 32,300) is the State Capital.. We also have a website where you can learn more about Alaska’s history, cultures, geography, animals, and more: http://alaska.gov/kids/ Here are other helpful websites: • For information about visiting Alaska, visit www.travelalaska.com • You can also visit the Alaska State Library on-line at www.lam.alaska.gov • Looking for wildlife info? Go to http://www.wildlife.alaska.gov • Want to know more about Alaska’s Forest and Park Lands? visit www.alaskacenters.gov Did you know? If you place Alaska, with all of its islands, on top of the “continental” United States, it spans from the Great Lakes to Texas, and from Florida to California. At 591,000 square miles, Alaska is larger than Texas, California, and Montana combined. The coastline of Alaska is longer than the coastline of the continental United States. Of Alaska’s 3 million lakes, the largest (Lake Iliamna) is the size of Connecticut. Alaska’s mainland is only 51 miles away from Russia. Alaska has 17 of the 20 highest mountains in North America (Denali is the highest at 20,320 feet).

  • Overseas Expansion: Global Competition Over Resources and Power Led to American Expansion and Creating a Pacific Influence Empire
    Name __________________________________ Date _____________ S. S. 8 Statement of Inquiry Overseas Expansion: Global competition over resources and power led to American expansion and Creating a Pacific influence Empire ALASKA Prior to 1860, the Russians had a profitable seal and sea otter fur industry established off the coast of Alaska. After 1860, however, the Russians had killed off most of the furbearing animals. Russian interest in Alaska began to decline and the Russian government was looking to sell the land. In 1867, Russia offered to sell Alaska to the United States for $7.2 million. Secretary of State William Seward (under President Andrew Johnson) was interested in this offer. He argued that it was a great value at only 2 cents per acre and could provide natural resources such as fish, lumber, and minerals. It would also give the United States important seaports for dominating trade in the Pacific. Seward argued that if the United States did not purchase Alaska, another powerful nation would. However, some Americans objected to the purchase. They said that Alaska was a worthless wasteland. They called Alaska “Seward’s Icebox,” the “Polar Bear Garden” and “Seward’s Folly.” (folly=foolish) Others argued that the United States had no right to buy “outside territory,” land not connected to the United States. Seward finally won out. In April 1867, the United States agreed to purchase Alaska from the Russians. As a result of the purchase, the United States added about 600,000 square miles of land to its territory for only $7,200,000. Many Americans realized that this purchase was no mistake.

  • Resource for Self-Determination Or Perpetuation of Linguistic Imposition: Examining the Impact of English Learner Classification Among Alaska Native Students
    EdWorkingPaper No. 21-420 Resource for Self-Determination or Perpetuation of Linguistic Imposition: Examining the Impact of English Learner Classification among Alaska Native Students Ilana M. Umansky Manuel Vazquez Cano Lorna M. Porter University of Oregon University of Oregon University of Oregon Federal law defines eligibility for English learner (EL) classification differently for Indigenous students compared to non-Indigenous students. Indigenous students, unlike non-Indigenous students, are not required to have a non-English home or primary language. A critical question, therefore, is how EL classification impacts Indigenous students’ educational outcomes. This study explores this question for Alaska Native students, drawing on data from five Alaska school districts. Using a regression discontinuity design, we find evidence that among students who score near the EL classification threshold in kindergarten, EL classification has a large negative impact on Alaska Native students’ academic outcomes, especially in the 3rd and 4th grades. Negative impacts are not found for non-Alaska Native students in the same districts. VERSION: June 2021 Suggested citation: Umansky, Ilana, Manuel Vazquez Cano, and Lorna Porter. (2021).

  • History with an Attitude: Alaska in Modern Russian Patriotic Rhetoric
    Andrei A. Znamenski, Memphis/USA History with an Attitude: Alaska in Modern Russian Patriotic Rhetoric Guys, stop your speculations and read books. One of my re­ cent discoveries is Kremlev. Here is a real history of Russia. One reads his books and wants to beat a head against a wall from the realization of how much we lost due to corruption, treason and the stupidity of our rulers – tsars, general secret­ aries and presidents. What wonderful opportunities we had in the past and how much we have lost!1 A nationalist blogger about the ultra-patriotic popular his­ tory “Russian America: Discovered and Sold” (2005) by Sergei Kremlev In Russian-American relations, Alaska is doomed to remain a literary-political metaphor – some sort of a stylistic figure of speech whose original meaning faded away being re­ placed with an imagined one.2 Writer Vladimir Rokot (2007) On the afternoon of October 18, 1867, a Siberian Line Battalion and a detachment of the US Ninth Infantry faced each other on a central plaza of New Archangel (Figure 1), the capital of Russian America, prepared for the official ceremony of lowering the Russian flag and of raising the Stars and Stripes. This act was to finalize the transfer of Alaska (Figure 2) from Russia to the United States, which bought the territory for $ 7.2 million. At 4 PM, Captain Aleksei Peshchurov gave orders to lower the Russian flag. After this, Brigadier General Lovell Rousseau, a representative of the US Government, ordered the American flag to be raised. Salutes were fired. This ceremony ended a brief seventy-year presence of the Russian Empire in northwestern North America.3 Driven by short-term strategic goals, Russian emperor Alexander II decided to get rid of his overseas posses­ sion, which represented 6 per cent of the Russian Empire territory.

  • Alaska & Hawaii
    he last two states to join the Union, Alaska and Hawaii, encompass some of the most rugged and isolated terrain in the United States. Since the 19th century, the Coast Guard and its predecessor agencies have enforced maritime laws, assisted distressed mariners and insured that ships were safely outfitted for sea in these remote areas. The story of this service to others begins with three small federal mar .. itime organizations. It is important to trace these agencies for they laid the foundations of today's Coast Guard. Two of the three organizations domi.. nate the maritime history of both these unique states.
