Book Synopsis Human-land Relationships on the Upper Kobuk River by : James S. Magdanz
Download or read book Human-land Relationships on the Upper Kobuk River written by James S. Magdanz and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the beginning of the 20th century, Alaska's lñuit Eskimo were dispersed across the Arctic in small, extended family settlements. Within a few decades, most had moved to larger communities seeking education and other public amenities. Some lñuit groups chose not to move into town. One such group was the Paamiut, the Pah River people, members of the upper Kobuk River society, whose story is told here through the oral histories of nine elders. The elders describe a small, self-sufficient, semi-nomadic group living apart from the mining and mission communities of Kobuk and Shungnak through the 1920s, 1930s, and, in a few cases, into the 1950s. Their self sufficiency may have been partly a matter of necessity. Several said they lived in the area because fish and game were scarce around the larger communities. One elder's family "lived out" specifically because the salmon runs failed and they couldn't feed their dogs from the village. In many ways, they lived a pre-contact life long after contact. By 1953, all except one man had moved into town. One consequence of community consolidation was the creation of apparently "unoccupied" land between communities. Although very much occupied in traditional minds, such land was sanctified as "public" by the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act of 1971. It was open to entry by urban hunters and fishers, and provided opportunities for commercial hunting and fishing services. Then the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1981 closed millions of acres of Alaska to non-subsistence hunting, forcing even more visiting hunters into "unoccupied" areas like the confluence of the Pah and Kobuk Rivers. On the upper Kobuk River, a few residents embraced the changes. Providing commercial hunting and fishing services would seem to be an ideal business for rural Native people. Other residents resented the growth of commercially supported hunting and fishing. Some resisted, aggressively and unlawfully in one instance, through formal regulatory mechanisms in another, but most frequently by applying informal social pressure on local transporters. Social pressures complicated local transporters' operations, making it more difficult to compete successfully with non-local transporters.

Book Synopsis Shadows on the Koyukuk by : Jim Rearden
Download or read book Shadows on the Koyukuk written by Jim Rearden and published by Graphic Arts Books. This book was released on 2014-04-04 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “I owe Alaska. It gave me everything I have.” Says Sidney Huntington, son of an Athapaskan mother and white trader/trapper father. Growing up on the Koyukuk River in Alaska’s harsh Interior, that “everything” spans 78 years of tragedies and adventures. When his mother died suddenly, 5-year-old Huntington protected and cared for his younger brother and sister during two weeks of isolation. Later, as a teenager, he plied the wilderness traplines with his father, nearly freezing to death several times. One spring, he watched an ice-filled breakup flood sweep his family’s cabin and belongings away. These and many other episodes are the compelling background for the story of a man who learned the lessons of a land and culture, lessons that enabled him to prosper as trapper, boat builder, and fisherman. This is more than one man's incredible tale of hardship and success in Alaska. It is also a tribute to the Athapaskan traditions and spiritual beliefs that enabled him and his ancestors to survive. His story, simply told, is a testament to the durability of Alaska's wild lands and to the strength of the people who inhabit them.
Book Synopsis Alliance and Conflict by : Ernest S. Burch
Download or read book Alliance and Conflict written by Ernest S. Burch and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alliance and Conflict combines a richly descriptive study of intersocietal relations in early nineteenth-century Northwest Alaska with a bold theoretical treatise on the structure of the world system as it might have been in ancient times. Ernest S. Burch Jr. illuminates one aspect of the traditional lives of the I_upiaq Eskimos in unparalleled detail and depth. Basing his account on observations made by early Western explorers, interviews with Native historians, and archeological research, Burch describes the social boundaries and geographic borders formerly existing in Northwest Alaska and the various kinds of transactions that took place across them. These ranged from violence of the most brutal sort, at one extreme, to relations of peace and friendship, at the other. Burch argues that the international system he describes approximated in many respects the type of system existing all over the world before the development of agriculture. Based on that assumption, he presents a series of hypotheses about what the world system may have been like when it consisted entirely of hunter-gatherer societies and about how it became more centralized with the evolution of chiefdoms. ø Accounts of specific people, places, and events add an immediate, experiential dimension to the work, complementing its theoretical apparatus and sweeping narrative scope. Provocative and comprehensive, Alliance and Conflict is a definitive look at the greater world of Native peoples of Northwest Alaska.
Book Synopsis Life at Swift Water Place by : Doug D. Anderson
Download or read book Life at Swift Water Place written by Doug D. Anderson and published by University of Alaska Press. This book was released on 2019-06-15 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a multidisciplinary study of the early contact period of Alaskan Native history that follows a major hunting and fishing Inupiaq group at a time of momentous change in their lifeways. The Amilgaqtau yaagmiut were the most powerful group in the Kobuk River area. But their status was forever transformed thanks to two major factors. They faced a food shortage prompted by the decline in caribou, one of their major foods. This was also the time when European and Asian trade items were first introduced into their traditional society. The first trade items to arrive, a decade ahead of the Europeans themselves, were glass beads and pieces of metal that the Inupiat expertly incorporated into their traditional implements. This book integrates ethnohistoric, bio-anthropological, archaeological, and oral historical analyses.
