A Maritime Sense Of Place: Southeast Alaska Fishermen And Mainstream Nature Ideologies, Judith T. Brakel
A Maritime Sense Of Place: Southeast Alaska Fishermen And Mainstream Nature Ideologies, Judith T. Brakel
Anthropology
This thesis portrays Southeast Alaska fishermen's 'senses of place' on the sea, elicited through interviews. The distinctiveness of a fishing culture, and the demands and opportunities of the occupation and environment, result in a relationship to place different from the majority society. Themes discussed include being at home on the sea, the environment as a basis for occupational choice, territorial flexibility, preference for wild nature, and wild nature produces exploitatable surpluses. The variability of the environment affects patterns of learning, models of nature, and values in inter-personal interactions. Relationship to 'place' is found to be central to the culture, but …

Returning: Twentieth Century Performances Of The King Island Wolf Dance, Deanna Marie Kingston
Returning: Twentieth Century Performances Of The King Island Wolf Dance, Deanna Marie Kingston
Theses (Unassigned)
In 1982 and again in 1991, the King Island (Alaska) Native Community revived the Wolf Dance, which is a complex ritual involving songs, dances, feasts, competitive games and an exchange of goods. The object of this dissertation is to discover why they chose to revive the Wolf Dance, rather than the Polar Bear Dance which was their most significant ritual in the early twentieth century. Archival sources and other literature pertaining to Inupiaq and Yup'ik ceremonialism were consulted in order to interpret the meaning and purpose of the Wolf Dance. In addition, contemporary King Island community members were interviewed in …
Demographic And Social Consequences Of Oil And Gas Development In Siberia, 1960s-Early 1990s, Eugene V. Logunov
Demographic And Social Consequences Of Oil And Gas Development In Siberia, 1960s-Early 1990s, Eugene V. Logunov
Arctic and Northern Studies
The main goal of this thesis is to study the demographic and social consequences of rapid oil and gas development in Siberia, to show the experience of solving or failing to solve of wide range of social and cultural issues, and to sum up the results of both the economic impact on the social-cultural processes and the social impact on industrial production. In three decades, the number of new settlers in the Tyumen province was no less than 2,000,000 people. Such a pace of settling previously uninhabited territories with extreme environmental conditions had never occurred before in world practice. This …

Critical Issues In The Preparation Of Alaska Native Teachers : Perspectives Of Cross-Cultural Education Development (X-Ced) Program Graduates, Bernice Tetpon
Critical Issues In The Preparation Of Alaska Native Teachers : Perspectives Of Cross-Cultural Education Development (X-Ced) Program Graduates, Bernice Tetpon
Education
This study draws upon the experiences of 35 Alaska Native teachers who have succeeded in earning a teaching certificate through the Cross-Cultural Education Development (X-CED) Program to identify issues that affect the preparation of Native teachers for schools in rural Alaska. The guiding question of the study is: What do Native teacher eduation graduates perceive to be the factors that contributed most to their success in a field-based teacher preparation program and as teachers? Components of the question include: Why did Native students pursue a teaching credential? How did the XCED graduates go about achieving their goals? And, how do …

Bridging Justice Communities: A Professional Workshop Curriculum For Alaska Natives, University Of Alaska Anchorage Justice Center
Reports
Despite the complicated legal and justice questions which present themselves regularly in the life of the Alaska Native community, Native employment in justice system positions — in the bureaucracies and agencies which administer the state and federal justice systems — is low. The program outlined in this document presents a twelve-day to two-week educational workshop for Alaska Native participants focusing on opportunities for careers in the justice system.

Historical Archaeology Of Alaskan Placer Gold Mining Settlements: Evaluating Process-Pattern Relationships, Robin Owen Mills
Historical Archaeology Of Alaskan Placer Gold Mining Settlements: Evaluating Process-Pattern Relationships, Robin Owen Mills
Anthropology
The objective of this research is to explicate appropriate methods for investigating relationships between past historical processes and variables, and resulting contemporary patterns in archaeological and historical data sets. Turn-of-the-twentieth century placer gold mining in interior Alaska is used as a case study to evaluate these relationships. By linking observable patterns in historical data sets with the variables and processes that in part create and shape them, a more-complete, context-specific explanation of past events and actions emerges when the data are evaluated in specific historical settings. The methodological approach used here is to just formulate explicit "expectations," and then to …
Twentieth Century Inupiaq Eskimo Reindeer Herding On Northern Seward Peninsula, Alaska, James Johnson Simon
Twentieth Century Inupiaq Eskimo Reindeer Herding On Northern Seward Peninsula, Alaska, James Johnson Simon
Anthropology
Domesticated reindeer were introduced to Alaska from the Russian Far East at the end of the nineteenth century as a project in social engineering designed to assist in the assimilation of Alaska Natives into Euroamerican society. Most previous discussions of Alaska Native reindeer herding have focused on reindeer introduction as an agent of culture change associated with culture contact and economic modernization. This diachronic study of more than a century of Bering Strait Inupiaq reindeer herding, however, demonstrates that reindeer herding was incorporated into traditional Inupiaq culture and society to the extent that it now helps to maintain and reproduce …
Federal Policy And Alaska Native Languages Since 1867, Thomas L. Alton
Federal Policy And Alaska Native Languages Since 1867, Thomas L. Alton
Political Science
Researchers and the general public have often contended that punishment of children for speaking their native languages in schools is the cause of the decline of those languages. But native language loss in Alaska is rooted also in the choices Natives made themselves to accept English for its social, economic, and political opportunities. Since the United States purchased Alaska in 1867, English has replaced native languages as the first language learned by children in nearly all homes. Although none of Alaska's twenty native languages is yet extinct, most are at a point of peril as English has replaced a pattern …
Alcohol Control Policy And Native American Communities, Matthew Berman
Alcohol Control Policy And Native American Communities, Matthew Berman
ISER Reports
There is a long-standing debate over the degree to which control of alcohol supply is effective or makes sense as a policy direction for prevention of alcohol and drug abuse. The arguments on both sides of the control-of-supply debate are probably familiar to most alcohol researchers. However, it may be useful to review some empirical studies relevant to prevention policy for Native American populations. The remainder of the paper begins with a brief review of studies measuring effects of price and availability on alcohol consumption among North American and European populations. Then the review moves to focus on studies of …
