Unigkuat : Kodiak Alutiiq Legends

2024-06-01T06:28:40Z

[2021]
"Action and mystery, long journeys and valuable lessions - these are the ingredients of Alutiiq legends. In a village terrified by an enormous octopus, people work together to kill the beast. A young man apprentices to a whaler and learns mysterious secrets about hunting the largest sea mammels. A community mistreats Raven and his grandmother, and the people die of starvation. This book shares sixty-two traditiional tales from Alaksa's Kodiak Archipelago, compiled from stories told by Alutiiq Elders over the past 150 years. In each legend, readers learn about the Alutiiq world-the origins of the moon and the sun, how animals can sometimes appear as people, the importance of respectful hunting, and most of all how generosity, bravery, and perseverance are essential to a happy and successful life. Illustrated with images by contemporary community artists" -- Back cover.

Making history : Alutiiq/Sugpiaq life on the Alaska Peninsula

2024-06-01T06:28:40Z

Partnow, Patricia H.,
©2001.
"Documents about the Alutiiq people of the Alaska Peninsula, written by outsiders, tell a familiar story of political subjugation, economic deprivation, and cultural loss. But recordings of oral traditions and personal histories by the Alutiiqs themselves tell a different tale. These narratives, woven together here with written records and scholarly commentary into an ethnohistory, show that Alutiiqs have been making their own history for millennia. Through stories and actions, Alutiiqs not only affect the course of their lives, but in so doing express a unique perception of the very nature of history. Illustrated with numerous photographs and maps, the author offers interviews and tales from storytellers from Alaska Peninsula villages. She gives historical and cultural context to each voice, allowing people to speak for themselves while helping readers comprehend the unspoken significance and implications each account contains. Alutiiq history is revealed here as an ongoing, complex, multivocal expression of a people's actions and reactions, decisions and compromises."--taken from back cover.

Kal'unek from Karluk : Kodiak Alutiiq history and the archaeology of the Karluk One village site

2024-06-01T06:28:40Z

Steffian, Amy F.,
[2015]
"Karluk One is a remarkable archaeological site. For six hundred years, the Alutiiq built houses upon houses, preserving layer after layer of their ways of life. When fresh water from a nearby pond seeped through the deposit, the massive mound of cultural debris became suspended in time. Yet the site's location at the mouth of a once-salmon-rich river meant it could disappear at any moment. Working together, researchers and community members recovered more than 26,000 items made of wood, bone, ivory, baleen, antler, and leather before the meandering river finally shifted and washed away the site forever. Kal'unek--From Karluk fully explores the ancient site and its contents to create a picture of prehistoric Alutiiq life. Beautifully photographed, the book also features essays by community members and scholars as well as a ground-breaking glossary of Alutiiq terms developed for the artifacts by Kodiak Alutiiq speakers. No other collection has figured so centrally in building awareness of Alutiiq history or promoting an accurate view of the richness of Kodiak's Native past. And no other book illuminates these extraordinary finds as brilliantly as Kal'unek-From Karluk"--

Giinaquq : like a face : Sugpiaq masks of the Kodiak Archipelago

2024-06-01T06:28:40Z

c2009.
Masks are an ancient tradition of the Alutiiq people on the southern coast of Alaska. Alutiiq artists carved the masks from wood or bark into images of ancestors, animal spirits, and other mythological forces; these extraordinary creations have been an essential tool for communicating with the spirit world and have played an important role in dances and hunting festivities for centuries. Giinaquq: Like a Face presents thirty-three full-color images of these fantastic and eye-catching masks, which have been preserved for more than a century as part of the Pinart Collection in a small French museum. These masks, collected in 1871 by a young French scholar of indigenous cultures, are presented for the first time in their complete cultural context, celebrating the rich history of the Alutiiq people and their artistic traditions.

"A fictional story about a family who lived in Larsen Bay about 300 years ago. This family spent their summers at Karluk Lake, fishing and preparing food for the winter. Through this story we learn about the daily activities at fish camp and the ways Alutiiq people used natural resources like fish, cottonwood, feathers, and berries. This story is inspired by the finds from an ancestral Alutiiq village, studied by archaeologists. At the end of the book readers learn about these finds and their connections to Iqsani's story."--Publisher's website

How to dress a fish

2024-06-01T06:28:40Z

Chabitnoy, Abigail,
[2019]
N How to Dress a Fish, poet Abigail Chabitnoy, of Aleut descent, addresses the lives disrupted by US Indian boarding school policy. She pays particular attention to the life story of her great grandfather, Michael, who was taken from the Baptist Orphanage, Wood Island, Alaska, and sent to Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Pennsylvania. Incorporating extracts from Michael's boarding school records and early Russian ethnologies--while engaging Alutiiq language, storytelling motifs, and traditional practices--the poems form an act of witness and reclamation. In uncovering her own family records, Chabitnoy works against the attempted erasure, finding that while legislation such as the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act reconnects her to community, through blood and paper, it could not restore the personal relationships that had already been severed.

Commercial influence on the outer coast Sugpiat

2024-06-01T06:28:40Z

Tozzi, Nicole J.
2012.
This research applies archaeological and remote sensing data to address a series of cultural and historical questions about Sugpiaq (Alutiiq) adaptations to conditions of the maritime fur trade era of southern Alaska, from the late Russian period into the early American period (1850- cl 910). The study location is the Denton Site (49-XBS-0 14) on the outer coast of the Kenai Peninsula in Kenai Fjords National Park (Fig. 1.1), Alaska. Excavation data from the site are used to investigate concurring or dissonant relationships among oral and written historical accounts of its occupation, and to examine commercial influence on Sugpiat economy and material culture. High-resolution magnetometer survey is explored as an aid to developing excavation strategies and for ground-truthing oral information about site structure. The assemblage is analyzed for relative dating, and insight in to the activities pursued at the site. Occupation is estimated at 1850 to 1900, with a mean artifact production date of 1880. The amount of trade goods present indicates that this may be the site of a small trading post, previously determined to be in Nuka Bay.
