working under the terms of the Memorandum of Agreement between the Alaska Federation
of Natives and the University of Alaska Fairbanks, created these "cultural atlases" as
a means of integrating Native ways of knowing about science and technology into
Western educational curricula. These are the first such internet compatible multimedia "jukeboxes" produced
under the Alaska Rural Systemic Challenge grant from the National Science Foundation. Password

The
Alutiiq Ethnography Bibliography
by Rachel Mason
Excerpt: This project was undertaken in order to make
what has been written about Alutiiq culture more accessible to
the public. The "public" I am most concerned with is the Alutiiq
people themselves. Alaska Natives have long been the subject
of anthropological study, and many have been frustrated when
they were unable to find out what happened to the information
they provided. This bibliography is intended to serve primarily
as a guide to those who want to find out what has been written
and recorded about their own culture.

took the film crew to the Aleutian Islands, the Pribilof Islands, to the historic
sites of federal duration camps at Funter Bay and Killisnoo, and Anchorage,
Juneau, Seattle and Washington, D.C. But the real strength of this film is
the chorus of first person voices."
