Harriman invited twenty-five scientists, writers and artists to join him on a 9000 mile exploration of the coast of Alaska. In the summer of 2001, a Smith College expedition, carrying a similar group of scientists, writers and artists, retraced Harriman’s route, exploring some of the issues Harriman faced, and some he couldn’t even imagine. The film chronicling these two expeditions presents a unique look at a century of change in Alaska.

August 2015 Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve PO Box 439/Mile 106.8 Richardson Highway Copper Center AK 99573 www.nps.gov/wrst Completed under Cooperative Agreement H8W0711000, Task Agreement J8W07100006, between Portland State University and the National Park Service, Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve. Introduction The following annotated bibliography was compiled as part of a project to develop an ethnographic overview and assessment for Yakutat Tlingit and Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve, which is available as a separate document. While this annotated bibliography is meant to serve as a guide for the research for the aforementioned ethnographic overview and assessment, it also serves as a standalone product that can be used as a resource for both agency and tribal representatives, as well as other individuals interested in researching the Wrangell-St. Elias lands, Yakutat Tlingit, historical narratives related to the region and a variety of other related topics. While the sources listed and annotated in this bibliography were reviewed specifically for references to Wrangell-St. Elias and Yakutat Tlingit, they were also reviewed for the purpose of developing a more general understanding of the cultural and historical context in which Yakutat Tlingit existed and evolved from the pre-contact era into the contemporary period.
