These are recent publications or other works that we have found. Also included in version 3.1 is a fairly extensive selection from the Dena’ina “Container List” at the Alaska Native Language Center Archive. As of late 2011 the Dena;ina Container List has over 725 360 items and is being updated regularly. Many unpublished items at the ANLC archive are given here with the archive catalogue number. .See http://www.uaf.edu/anla/collections/denaina/list/. Some effort has been made to round up web-based materials that emphasize Dena’ina language. For convenience, many of these are grouped at the entry “Dena’ina.” Aaron Leggett has added many items from periodicals that he has discovered. There are some “digital only” citations that are subject to changes, and that may not be widely available. See entries under “Dena’ina. ” Also see the entry Kari 2007 Dena’ina Audio Collection (DAC) a database file on Dena’ina audio recordings.

The 1993 bibliography was very good for its coverage of geology, anthropology, archaeology, and natural history for Cook Inlet Basin. Several specialists on Dena’ina and Cook Inlet considered Dixon’s 1993 compilation to be a valuable document, and it was proposed in late 2004 that we bring the bibliography up to date and then to circulate it in digital form. We are continuing to find many sources that contribute to the Dena’ina and Cook Inlet literature. For this area there is a large “grey literature” of agency-sponsored reports, many privately published items, as well as newspaper articles Also this bibliography contributes to the concept of a Dena’ina Archive, and it is salutary that the Ts’itsatna Tribal Archives of the Kenaitze Indian Tribe, has taken the lead in distributing this 2005 bibliography. In this version many of Greg Dixon’s annotations have been shortened. Only some of the added entries have brief annotations. Introduction by R. Greg Dixon, Dec. 1993 Bibliography-Dena'ina is a listing of sources of information pertinent to Dena'ina Athabaskans, with many annotations. Topics include archaeology, ethnography, linguistics, language, and aspects of natural history pertaining to the region utilized by the Dena'ina. Because of many unknowns about the Dena’ina, such as when they first arrived in the Cook Inlet area, and because of their ethnohistorically documented practices of heavy trading and borrowing with other groups, and assumed incorporations of linguistic and other cultural elements from their neighbors, boundaries remain uncertain. Biological affiliations with other groups resulting from intermarriage practices are known, and their existence in areas previously occupied earlier groups such as the Kachemak Eskimo are also known. Therefore, references in this document may cover areas and time periods outside ethnographically given Dena’ina boundaries. Listings are drawn from published and unpublished material. The style and format used in this bibliography is that presented by the editors of American Antiquity (1983). Exceptions do exist, however, and although "Dena'ina" is the preferred orthography, "Tanaina" is consistently used whenever it occurs in the reference cited. Many annotations presented derive partially or wholly from Randall M. Jones and Monica Woods' Alaskan Athabaskan Bibliography, First Edition, November 1983. Wherever these occur, they are preceded by an "*". * = From Jones and Woods, 1983 Thanks are also due to the many authors whose works I have cited. And to James Kari (University of Alaska Fairbanks), William B. Workman, Karen W. Workman (University of Alaska Anchorage), James A. Fall (ADF&G, Division of Subsistence), and the late Randall Jones. And also to Douglas R. Reger, J. David McMahan, R. Joan Dale, Michele Jesperson, Tim Smith, Robert D. Shaw, and others at the State of Alaska, Department of Natural Resources, Division of Parks and Outdoor Recreation, Office of History and Archaeology in Anchorage, all of whom freely opened their files for me to peruse for data and/or supplied other information verbally that is included in this document. Since the initial work on this document was hastily concluded in December 1993, many new listings have been added in various revisions, along with spelling and grammatical corrections and other such improvements. However, it is known that many more of such refinements need to be accomplished in this document. Early on, Bibliography-Dena'ina was envisioned to be a database that would be upgraded continuously as new information is discovered or is produced. Now in 2005 we have a joint effort to do this. R.

  • The Ch'u'itnu Traditional Cultural Landscape
    The Ch’u’itnu Traditional Cultural Landscape: A District Eligible for the National Register of Historic Places Submitted by The Native American Rights Fund On behalf of The Native Village of Tyonek By Alan S. Boraas, Ronald T. Stanek, Douglas R. Reger, and Thomas F. King April 3, 2015 Acknowledgments Many people have helped with the preparation of this report, and we are indebted to all of them. In particular, we would like to thank Shina DuVall, Archaeologist in the Alaska State Historic Preservation Office, for her guidance and feedback; Doug Tosa, GIS Analyst with the Alaska Center for the Environment, for his mapping and technical assistance; and NARF staff Shay Elbaum and Jill Rush, for their editorial contributions. 1 Executive Summary The intent of this document is to explain why the Ch’u’itnu (Chuitt River) drainage1 of Cook Inlet, Alaska constitutes a Traditional Cultural Landscape (TCL) associated with the indigenous Tyonek Dena’ina, or Tubughna,2 people. The Ch’u’itnu TCL as described in this paper should be recognized as eligible for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP or “National Register”), for purposes of assessing and resolving adverse effects on it under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) and its implementing regulations in 36 C.F.R. Part 800. The Tubughna people have used and occupied the Ch’u’itnu drainage as an essential part of their traditional territory since time immemorial. The landscape along the river, including the river mouth, has been and continues to be a place where the Tubughna carry out subsistence resource harvests, settlement, celebrations of life, and travel to accomplish these purposes.

CIRI shareholder Clara Amidon (Yup’ik and Unangan) never dreamed she’d be teaching virtually during a pandemic. In fact, growing up in Alaska’s Bristol Bay region in the 1960s and early ‘70s, her family didn’t even own a television. “We moved to Anchorage when I was 13, after my father passed away,” Clara recalls. “The city was a culture shock, and it took me a long while to get my footing. There were roads, homes, color TV… And not just one store—there were many! “How to fit in, how to adapt—it’s a learning process, and I remember it well,” Clara continued. “And then that survival mechanism kicks in. You figure things out quickly as a young person, especially as a young Native person, because Our People are taught to observe.” Those early memories helped prepare Clara for a career in teaching, first in Anchorage School District (ASD) public schools and then, for the last 13 years, at the Alaska Native Cultural Charter School (ANCCS). A K-8 school, the mission of the ANCCS is to build student excellence through traditional cultural learning.

  • 2010 NAISA Program U of Arizona
    2 Welcome to NAISA 2010 On behalf of American Indian Studies, many individuals and units of the University of Arizona, and the generous sponsors listed below, we welcome you to the second annual meeting of the Native American and Indigenous Studies Association/NAISA! American Indian Studies, as a GIDP/Graduate Interdisciplinary Program at the University of Arizona: • seeks to develop a strong understanding of the languages, cultures, and sovereignty of American Indians/Alaska Natives, which honors our ancestors and their wisdom. • maintains productive scholarship, teaching, research, and community development; and provides unique opportunities for students and scholars to explore issues from American Indian perspectives which place the land, its history and the people at the center. • promotes Indian self-determination, self-governance, and strong leadership as defined by Indian nations, tribes, and communities, all of which originated from the enduring beliefs and philosophies of our ancestors. The AIS Master’s program, established in 1982, was the first of its kind in the United States. By 1984, a minor in AIS at the doctorate level was approved by the Graduate College, and in 1997, the Arizona Board of Regents approved the PhD program, the first free-standing AIS doctoral program in the United States. We are proud to welcome you to the fourth gathering of international scholars brought together by NAISA (the second since the organization incorporated) at the Westin La Paloma in Tucson. Southern Arizona falls within the homelands of the Tohono O’odham nation, and the name Tucson derives from the O’odham chukson (spellings vary), meaning black basin place or black stone place, referring to the volcanic outcroppings of Sentinel Peak, also known as “A” Mountain.

  • Strategies of Language Revitalization in Alignment with Native Pedagogical Forms: Examples from Ahtna Alaska
    Strategies of Language Revitalization in Alignment with Native Pedagogical Forms: Examples from Ahtna Alaska Greg Holt Swarthmore College 2004 Language and the sacred are indivisible. The earth and all its appearances and expressions exist in names and stories and prayers and spells. -N. Scott Momaday (1995) "Sacred Places" in Aboriginal Voices 2 (1):29 0.0 Introduction Michael Krauss, director ofthe Alaska Native Languages Center (ANLC) for thirty years, has compiled data to predict that 90% of the world's 6,000- 7,000 languages will be moribund or dead in next 100 years (Krauss, 1992; 7).* This erosion of global cultural diversity is occurring through the spread of closed or restricted political, economic, and religious institutions which reward homogenization and subtractive cultural assimilation. l This model of integration does not allow for the full participation of multiple cultures in one society but rather requires the complete eradication of non- majority cultures. Using language shift as a measure, it is clear that current rates of cultural assimilation far outstrip any seen before in human history. In Alaska, groups and individuals are working against this trend, but until recently programs have been few. In the bilingual education programs that do exist, English speaking Native Alaskan children often learn kinship terms, color names, and seasonal • First I would like to thank all the people in Alaska who welcomed me and helped me develop these ideas, especially Siri Tuttle. Also, I thank my professors and readers at Swarthmore College for all they've taught me, David Harrison and Ted Fernald. Finally, for all their support, encouragement, and years of debating such topics, Timothy Colman, Steve Holt, Elena Cuffari, Milena Velis, Wolfgang Rougle, and Elizabeth Koerber for the computer during desperate times.
