  • Routes to Riches 2015 1 Danielhenryalaska.Com
    Routes to Riches 2015 1 danielhenryalaska.com Routes to Riches Daniel Lee Henry [email protected] A ground squirrel robe nearly smothered northern Tlingits’ nascent trust in their newly-landed missionaries. Long-time trading ties with Southern Tutchone and Interior Tlingit funneled wealth to Native residents of the upper Lynn Canal. Luxurious furs from the frigid north brought prices many times that of local pelts. For example, while the coastal red fox fur was worth $1.75 in “San Francisco dollars” in 1883, a Yukon silver fox brought up to $50 (about $1200 in 2015). Several times a year, Tlingit expeditions traversed routes considered secret until local leaders revealed their existence to Russians and Americans in the mid-nineteenth century. A day’s paddle to the upper Chilkat River brought travelers to a trail leading over through barrier coastal mountains into the vast, rolling subarctic Interior. On the eastern route, packers left Dyea at the terminus of Taiya Inlet and slogged a twenty-mile trail to a keyhole pass into lake country that drains into the Yukon River headwaters. The image of prospectors struggling up the “Golden Staircase” to Chilkoot Pass engraved the Klondike gold rush of ‘98 onto the license plates of cultural memory. For centuries, Chilkats and Chilkoots sustained a trading cartel connected by their respective routes. From tide’s edge to the banks of the Yukon River four hundred miles north, Tlingits insisted on customer allegiance. They discouraged Interior trading partners from commerce with anyone but themselves and expressly prohibited economic activity without invitation. The 1852 siege of Fort Selkirk and subsequent expulsion of Hudson’s Bay Company demonstrated the market realities of the Chilkat/Chilkoot cartel.

The primary goal was to document greater than 90% of the vascular plant species expected to occur within the park and significantly improve our understanding of current vascular plant species distributions. The inventory targeted diverse habitat types and poorly sampled areas. The AKNHP visited ten diverse eco-geographic regions and sampled intensively within these regions from mid-June to mid-August, 2002 and early July in 2003. A total of 283 specimens were collected, recorded, pressed, and curated. One hundred seventy four individual taxa are represented, 55 are new records for the park, and an additional ten represent verifications of previously unvouchered reports. The percentage of documented taxa increased from 78% to 86% after the 2002 and 2003 field seasons. A number of finds were range extensions or taxa of conservation concern. Collections were made of the state and globally restricted species: Phyllodoce empetriformis (G4- S1S2 rank) and Eleocharis kamtschatica (G4-S2).
