This interdisciplinary study combines the fields of archaeology, ethnography and geology to enrich our understanding of past human use in this dynamic and ever changing landscape. The field work for this report was conducted in 1995 in a collaborative effort between the National Park Service's Alaska Regional Office, Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve, the Smithsonian Institution's Arctic Studies Center and the University of Alaska Fairbanks. The Hoonah Indian Association was consulted throughout the project and provided two students to assist in the survey and excavation work. Following the 1995 season the researchers continued to build on the knowledge gained that first season and their expanding understanding of the Hoonah Tlingit response to rapid landscape change has resulted in several professional publications and is reflected in this new volume. It is our hope that this report will help park visitors to better understand and appreciate the human dimensions of this magnificent park.

We examine one of the factors that may have contributed to the Lone Woman’s abandonment and discuss several newly‑translated Russian American Company (RAC) documents, one of which gives details of a long‑rumored deadly conflict between a Russian‑led crew of Alaskan native otter hunters and the San Nicolas Island natives (Nicoleño).

  • The Fur Trade
    Meeting of Frontiers Alaska Teaching Unit: The Alaskan Fur Trade Roger Pearson Alaska Geographic Alliance Institute of the North Anchorage, AK Overview: The eastward expansion of the Russian empire into Siberia and America was integrally linked to the fur trade. By the mid-1600’s the Siberian fur trade accounted for approximately 10 percent of Russia’s total revenue. Exploitation of resources, not sustained yield, dominated resource extraction. Consequently, new areas and new resources were constantly needed. Russian America and the sea otter became the easternmost great fur resource frontier for Imperial Russia. This unit utilizes comparative tables, statistical data, maps, original documents, and images to allow students to develop their own impressions of the Russian American fur trade and its impact on the people and landscape. Standards: Geography Standards: Geography 1. Students will use maps and other geographic representations, tools, and technologies to acquire, process, and report information from a spatial perspective. Geography 17. Students will apply geography to interpret the past. Geographic Skills: • Asking geographic Questions • Acquiring geographic information • Organizing geographic information • Analyzing geographic information • Answering geographic questions Historical Thinking Standards: 2. Historical Comprehension: F. Utilize visual and mathematical data presented in charts, tables, pie and bar graphs, flow charts, Venn diagrams, and other graphic organizers. 4.

    N THE FIRST PERMANENT Library of Congress ORUSSIAN SETTLEMENT IN NORTH AMERICA _____ * Kodiak Island Two documents: 1786, 1794_______ 1786. INSTRUCTIONS from Grigorii Shelikhov, founder of the settlement on Kodiak Okhotsk Island, to Konstantin Samoilov, his chief manager, Kodiak Island Three Saints Bay for managing the colony during Shelikhov’s voyage to Okhotsk, Russia, on business of the Russian- American Company. May 4, 1786. [Excerpts] Map of the Russian Far East and Russian America, 1844 . With the exception of twelve persons who [Karta Ledovitago moria i Vostochnago okeana] are going to the Port of Okhotsk, there are 113 Russians on the island of Kytkak [Kodiak]. When the Tri Sviatitelia [Three Saints] arrives from Okhotsk, the crews should be sent to Kinai and to Shugach. Add as many of the local pacified natives as possible to strengthen the Russians. In this manner we can move faster along the shore of the American mainland to the south toward California. With the strengthening of the Russian companies in this land, try by giving them all possible favors to bring into subjection to the Russian Imperial Throne the Kykhtat, Aliaksa, Kinai and Shugach people. Always take an accurate count of the population, both men and women, detail, Kodiak Island according to clans. When the above mentioned natives are subjugated, every one of them must be told that people who are loyal and reliable will prosper under the rule of our Empress, but that all rebels will be totally exterminated by Her strong hand. The purpose of our institutions, whose aim is to bring good to all people, should be made known to them.

  • Conclusions, Bibliography
    Conclusions After the Attuans were taken to Japan, their village was occupied by Japanese troops and was destroyed by American bombing (Garfield 1995:213–214). On other parts of the island, the U.S. military left behind the remains of structures including tunnels used for storage. In 1987 a “peace memorial” was installed to honor all the soldiers who died at Attu, and in 1993 a sign was placed to commemorate the Attu villagers’ wartime ordeal. The island of Attu has remained uninhabited. There is nothing left of the wooden houses, the school, church, or the barabaras that were still in use in 1942. A Coast Guard Loran (long-range navigation system) station operated there in 1961 and was staffed by 20 personnel. It was closed in 2010 after the Global Positioning System (GPS) replaced Loran as a navigational system for ships and aircraft. As Jennifer Jolis wrote almost two decades ago, Periodically the island is visited by fishermen or by interested naturalists, biologists, and archeologists, usually in the employ of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The buildings and bridges built by the Navy are disappearing, each year the wind and waves take back the land. Each spring the grasses continue to wave, the eiders to sound their lonely calls. A lone eagle flies over Temnac Valley. The people are gone. The island remains. ( Jolis 1994:30). Commentary 145 Bibliography Bank II, Ted 1956 Birthplace of the Winds. New York: Thomas Y.

  • Nikolai Petrovich Kashevaroff, Priest of Holy Resurrection Cathedral (And the Kashevaroff Family)
    1 Nikolai Petrovich Kashevaroff, Priest of Holy Resurrection Cathedral (and the Kashevaroff Family) By Dawn Lea Black and Daria Safronova-Simeonoff The Kashevaroffs (Koshevarovs)1 originally came to Alaska aboard the ship Tri Sviatitelia or Three Saints, which also carried the first Russian Orthodox Mission to Alaska, including the future Saint Herman. The book Herman: A Wilderness Saint, written by Sergei Korsun, who works for the Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography in Saint Petersburg, Russia, lists the types of people, on page 20, who were aboard this ship. Two of them were mentioned as “stewards”. It is possible, according to both Lydia Black in “Russians in Alaska” and Richard Pierce in “Russian America: A Biographical Dictionary”, that these two people were the father, Artamon, and his son, Filipp Kashevarov who were serfs of I.L. Golikov back in Russia. However, according to Alexander V. Zorin, the head archivist and historian of the Kursk State Regional Archaeological Museum and also the author of a major published article on I.L. Golikov,2 no record of a person named Artamon Kashevaroff was found in the census records of Kursk. The aforementioned Golikov was the merchant Ivan Larionovich [Illarionovich] Golikov, who was the senior partner, with the most shares, in the fur company known as the Golikov-Shelikhov Company, although that was not a formal, contractual name. That company had several companies under its umbrella, and the actual company for which the Kashevaroffs worked was probably the Kodiak-based Northeastern Company, which was managed by Alexander Baranov. The reason why these Kashevarovs were sent to Kodiak was possibly because serfdom was being legally phased-out for merchants in Russia 1 Richard A.

  • Geopolitics and Environment in the Sea Otter Trade
    UC Merced UC Merced Electronic Theses and Dissertations Title Soft gold and the Pacific frontier: geopolitics and environment in the sea otter trade Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/03g4f31t Author Ravalli, Richard John Publication Date 2009 Peer reviewed|Thesis/dissertation eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California 1 Introduction Covering over one-third of the earth‘s surface, the Pacific Basin is one of the richest natural settings known to man. As the globe‘s largest and deepest body of water, it stretches roughly ten thousand miles north to south from the Bering Straight to the Antarctic Circle. Much of its continental rim from Asia to the Americas is marked by coastal mountains and active volcanoes. The Pacific Basin is home to over twenty-five thousand islands, various oceanic temperatures, and a rich assortment of plants and animals. Its human environment over time has produced an influential civilizations stretching from Southeast Asia to the Pre-Columbian Americas.1 An international agreement currently divides the Pacific at the Diomede Islands in the Bering Strait between Russia to the west and the United States to the east. This territorial demarcation symbolizes a broad array of contests and resolutions that have marked the region‘s modern history. Scholars of Pacific history often emphasize the lure of natural bounty for many of the first non-natives who ventured to Pacific waters. In particular, hunting and trading for fur bearing mammals receives a significant amount of attention, perhaps no species receiving more than the sea otter—originally distributed along the coast from northern Japan, the Kuril Islands and the Kamchatka peninsula, east toward the Aleutian Islands and the Alaskan coastline, and south to Baja California.

  • The Great Northern Expedition Expanded Russian Geographical Knowledge East to the Aleutian Islands and Mainland Alaska. News
    Promyshlenniki Advancement of the Promyshlenniki to the East by V.G. Vagner (1880-1942) from the collection of the Krasnoyarsk Kray Museum The Great Northern Expedition expanded Russian geographical knowledge east to the Aleutian Islands and mainland Alaska. News quickly spread of the large sea otter populations in the Aleutian Islands, which drew the attention of Siberian traders. The Promyshlenniki, or traders, were Russian and indigenous Siberian contract traders primarily from the serf class who served on the front line of the Alaskan fur trade. Emelian Basov is considered to be the first Promyshlennik to travel east; he sailed to Bering Island in 1743 and returned to Kamchatka the following year with thousands of sea otter pelts which unleashed a frenzy amongst the Promyshlenniki. As the ‘fur rush’ continued during the late 18th century, hundreds of trappers descended upon the Aleutian Islands with limited naval experience and soon coerced the Aleut and Alutiiq hunters to do the majority of otter hunting. As time went on many Promyshlenniki took Aleut and Alutiiq partners and adopted their lifestyles. By the 1830s the share system had been abandoned and replaced with salaries and the focus on the fur trade had shifted because of depletion, the status of the Promyshlenniki remained in name only as they became skilled employees of the Russian American Company. These Russian and Siberian workers brought with them many aspects of their cultures, of note being their clothing. While these men did not don the ornate traditional clothing of Central and Western Russian serfs, they were issued material for prescribed clothing of the Russian American Company.

Few of these tangible remnants of the past have managed to survive the ravages of time, preserved in libraries and special collections. This thesis analyzes the over 22,000-item rare book collection of the Elmer E. Rasmuson Library at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, the largest collection of rare books in the State of Alaska and one of the largest polar regions collections in the world. Content, chronology, authorship, design, and relevance to northern and polar history were a few of the criteria used to evaluate the collection. Twenty items of particular value to the study of Alaskan history were selected and studied in depth.
