This document was a revision by Arnold Granville of the bulletin put out by the Oregon Department of Education in 1961, and was issued with the express permission of the Oregon Department of Education. This resource unit has been long out of print and has been in steady demand by the teachers of Alaska. Rather than revise it and bring it up to date, the present Source Book which was written by Mr. Robert J. Peratrovich, Jr., from the notes he uses in teaching Alaska History in Clark Junior High, Anchorage, is offered to the teachers of Alaska. I hope it will be of help in courses in Alaska History but also when information on Alaska is needed for other classes. Dorothy H. Novatney Social Studies Consultant Department of Education -15.111111111111111.1111111,1111111111911111111111111111111111PW INTRODUCTION This source book has been developed by Mr.Peratrovich from the notes and course outline which he uses in teaching Alaska History onthe junior high level in the Anchoragepublic schools. It does not pretend to be a textbook, butrather a reference and a help in organizing lesson plans and preparing teaching andtesting material. As such, it can also be used bythe teacher of Alaska units in lower grades and byteachers and students in high school classes, Much of the material is in expanded outlineform with bibliographies and lists of suitable audiovisual and free or inexpensive teachingmaterials. There is more on the Russian period and the school system than on othertopics. Because of the organization by topics, therewill be some repetition from section to section when the item or fact is pertinent to morethan one topic. This source book is not intended to bedefinitive, but should prove helpful to teachers as a checklist, as an organizer of lesson plans, and as a sourceof concepts and "where to look for" information. It is convenient in that basic data areorganized by topic and grcuped together. Thanks are due to Mr. Robert J. Peratrovich,Jr., for sharing his material with the teachers in Alaska; to Mr. Robert N. De Armond forchecking the Source Book for accuracy; to John Logue for the illustrations and maps;and to the others who haveassisted in its preparation. Dr. Cliff R. Hartman Commissioner of Education UNIT I. THE LAND AND ITS PECPLE (sameRELATIVE scale) SIZE OF ALASKA AS COMPARED TOTHE CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES Unit I. The Land and Its People A. Location 1. Alaska is on the northwestern peninsula of the North American Continent. 2. Alaska is bordered on the east by Canada, on the north by the Arctic Ocean, and on the south and west by the Pacific Ocean and the Bering Sea. 3. No part of Alaska is directly north of the continental United States. 4. At Bering Strait, the Alaska mainland is only 54 miles from East Cape, Siberia. 5. One may stand on Alaska's Little Diomede Island, which belongs to the United States, and look across the strait to Big Diomede Island, which belongs to the Soviet Russia. This is really "looking at tomorrow" since the international date line passes through Bering Strait between these two islands. B. Size of Alaska 1.

In 1925, also, at the request of one of the companies engaged in packing salmon in the Port Moller district, along the northern shore of the Alaska Penin­ sula, the work done there in 1922 was repeated. The results of these experiments form the basis for the following report.

  • Moose Hunters in - Southwest Alaska a Better Opportunity to Evaluate Antlers
    280 AN EVALUATION OF TROPHY MOOSE MANAGEMENT ON THE ALASKA PENINSULA Christian A. Smith, Alaska Dept. of Fish and Game, King Salmon, Alaska James B. Faro, Alaska Dept. of Fish and Game, Anchorage, Alaska Nicholas C. Steen, Alaska Dept. of Fish and Game, King Salmon, Alaska '" Abstract: an experimental trophy management program was initiated on the Alaska Peninsula in 1976 with the imple­ mentation of a regulation requiring that all harvested bull moose (AZaes aZaes gigas) have antlers with at least a 50 inch spread. The regulation was designed to protect bulls under 5 years of age, to test the capability of hunters to comply with minimum size requirements, and to determine the potential for maintaining trophy class bulls in the population through this approach. The first two objectives have been accomplished. Nearly 70 - percent of the harvested bulls have been 5 or more years old and only 4 percent of the bulls taken were illegal. Adequate survey data are not available to determine current proportions of trophy bulls in the herd. In view of the declining nature of the population and increasing frequency - of 5 year olds in the kill, however, it seems likely that current harvests may be curtailing recruitment beyond age 5. Although this may not further affect average trophy size, availability of trophy class animals could eventually be - limited to the size of the 5 year old cohort. The moose population of the central Alaska Peninsula, Game Management - Unit 9E, appears to have established via i11111igration southwest from the Naknek River drainage in the early 1930's (Faro 1969).

    Alaska Range Introduction The heavily glacierized Alaska Range consists of a number of adjacent and discrete mountain ranges that extend in an arc more than 750 km long (figs. 1, 381). From east to west, named ranges include the Nutzotin, Mentas- ta, Amphitheater, Clearwater, Tokosha, Kichatna, Teocalli, Tordrillo, Terra Cotta, and Revelation Mountains. This arcuate mountain massif spans the area from the White River, just east of the Canadian Border, to Merrill Pass on the western side of Cook Inlet southwest of Anchorage.

  • Alaska Peninsula Becharof National Wildlife Refuges
    Fishery Management Plan ALASKA PENINSULA BECHAROF NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGES July 1994 Region 7 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service • Department of the Interior FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN ALASKA PENINSULA AND BECHAROF NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGES Fiscal Years 1994 - 1998 Prepared By: King Salmon Fishery Resource Office U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service P.O. Box 277 King Salmon, Alaska 99613 May 1994 SUMMARY STATEMENT The Alaska Peninsula and Becharof National Wildlife Refuges Fishery Management Plan (Plan) provides the management direction necessary to ensure conservation of fishery resources and habitat. In addition, the Plan provides for continued use of fishery resources by subsistence, commercial, and recreational users consistent with the purposes for which the Alaska Peninsula and Becharof refuges (Complex) were established and are managed. The Complex's biological and physical environment is described and fishery resources, human use, management history, and major issues and concerns are discussed. This information was obtained from the Refuge Comprehensive Conservation Plans, a literature search, and discussions with Alaska Department of Fish and Game personnel. Objectives and tasks are developed to address the issues and concerns. Federal tasks are assigned priorities and costs for each year of continuation. The Plan encompasses a five year period, at which time it will be revised. Major issues and concerns identified include the following: competition between user groups; incomplete salmon escapement data bases to refine management of the Complex fish populations; and inadequate fishery law enforcement. In some cases, concerns were identified because of the perception that they would develop into serious problems if current levels of use or consumption were allowed to continue or expand.
