ABSTRACT This monograph is an ethnohistoric and ethnographic study of 19th and 20th century land and resource use of the Akulmiut, a Yup'ik-speaking Eskimo society that occupied the inland t .ndra region between the Yukon and Kuskokwim rivers of western Alaska. The study examines the relationship between the patterns of spatial organization and wild resource utilization and resource distribution. Ethnographic studies have shown there is considerable variability in socioterritorial organization, which, according to one recent theory applied in this study, can be accounted for by examining the distribution of critical food resources in terms of density and predictability. The Akulmiut were selected for this study because of their unique situation among Alaskan Eskimos in terms of their subsistence economy and geographic location. With an economy based on fishing, utilizing non-salmon species of the low, marshy moist and wet tundra ecosystems, the adaptation of the Akulmiut is distinct among Alaskan Eskimos. Using data for the Akulmiut, this study tests the hypothesis that a territorial system occurs under conditions of high density and predictability (in time and space) of critical resources. Between groups or societies, the Akulmiut exhibited a territorial system of land use and occupancy as predicted when critical resources are dense and predictable. The study found that iii Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.

Spatial organization showed that all primary villages and storage and processing facilities were situated where pike and whitefish could be readily intercepted during their annual migrations. The Akulmiut maintained exclusive use through overt defense, but also by means of cultural principles of land and resource use, ceremonial activities, and naming conventions. Dispersion of the population at other times ensured maintenance of a broader area for use in harvesting another key resource, blackfish (Dallia. pectoralis). Dispersion was an efficient means of signaling areas used by the group, but also served to monitor incursions throughout the territory. This type of analysis was found to hold promise for explaining the diversity of socioterritorial organization among Alaskan Eskimos. Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.

  • The Men of the “New” Makushin Village, Like Practically All Able-Bodied
    Chapter 6 The Lives of Sea Otter Hunters he men of the “new” Makushin Village, like practically all able-bodied Unanga{ men, were active sea otter hunters employed by the AC T Company. The reports that document the beginning of the long and irreversible decline of sea otter hunting tell us little about individuals. Among the names that do surface occasionally is that of Lazar Gordieff. He appears six times in the 1885-1889 AC Company copybook and in a few other documents. These fragmented records provide little more than shadows, but they are far more than we have for most Unanga{ of the late 19th century. Lazar was twenty-two in 1878 and living with his widowed father, two brothers and a sister at Chernofski.1 In a June 1885 letter from Rudolph Neumann, since 1880 the AC Company general agent at Unalaska, we learn that Lazar was given dried seal throats.2 From this it can be deduced that he crafted delicate models of kayaks. The throats of fur seals, removed, cleaned, and dried during the seal harvests in the Pribilof Islands, were the preferred material for covering the intricate wooden frames. This letter went to the agent on Wosnesenski Island, in the heart of the eastern sea otter grounds, where Gordieff was part of the summer hunting party. He may have spent time between hunts carving and assembling models. A few of these trade items, all anonymous, survive in museums and testify to intimate knowledge of the kayak and to a high degree of craftsmanship. The hunters were still away in August, but after they had returned to Unalaska in October and Neumann had gone over the records, which arrived on a subsequent ship, he discovered that Lazar owed the company $166 while another man owed $805.

ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: Since 1988, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has maintained a Federal Agency Hazardous Waste Compliance Docket (“Docket”) under Section 120(c) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA). Section 120(c) requires EPA to establish a Docket that contains certain information reported to EPA by Federal facilities that manage hazardous waste or from which a reportable quantity of hazardous substances has been released. As explained further below, the Docket is used to identify Federal facilities that should be evaluated to determine if they pose a threat to public health or welfare and the environment and to provide a mechanism to make this information available to the public. This notice includes the complete list of Federal facilities on the Docket and also identifies Federal facilities reported to EPA since the last update of the Docket on August17, 2015. In addition to the list of additions to the Docket, this notice includes a section with revisions of the previous Docket list. Thus, the revisions in this update include 7 additions, 22 corrections, and 42 deletions to the Docket since the previous update. At the time of publication of this notice, the new total number of Federal facilities listed on the Docket is 2,326.

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.
