 Marshall
Cultural Atlas
This collection of student work is from
Frank Keim's classes. He has wanted to share these works for others
to use as an example of Culturally-based curriculum and documentation. These
documents have been OCR-scanned. These are available
for educational use only.
Marshall's Economy
Most of the people here in Marshall make a living by fishing in
the summer and winter. Since there are a lot of fish in these parts
the best business here in Marshall is the fishing business. But there
are a lot of other ways that a person can make a living here too;
they can make stuff and sell them in the store like, parkas, sleds,
hats, mittens, etc.
The first person to start up a business here in Marshall was a guy
by the name of Chris Betch. He was a store owner and he also clerked
in the store.
The business that has been here the longest is the ANICA
store,
called the "Coop." The ANICA store used to be located down below the
gas station before it moved to its new location.
Many of the people here in Marshall depend on some kind of
transfer payment such as food stamps and AFDC which is paid for by
income taxes. This is due to the lack of jobs here in Marshall.
When Leslie Hunter was asked if he thought there would be an
increase in the number of jobs here in Marshall if it gets bigger, he
responded that he did. That's what I think too.
The institution that employs the most workers in Marshall is the
school. Right now the school employs 12 local people. Over the years
it has employed approximately 25 people.
In the old days there was a hotel here in Marshall run by a
family. Only family members were allowed to work in it though, and it
closed down when the family moved away.
The Maserculiq Corporation has been in business since 1974. Leslie
Hunter Sr. was one of the founders of this for-profit corporation
which was set up under the ANCSA of 1971. The corporation employs 5
employes here. The corporation owns 3 businesses right now, two of
them here in Marshall and one in Homer. Their names are, Marshall
Enterprises, Maserculiq Fish Processing Plant, and Fair View Manor
Apartments.
Of the people that actually have jobs here in Marshall, 14 have
full time jobs, and 5 have half-time jobs. There are also many
part-time jobs. The amount of money these jobs bring into Marshall is
approximately $545,000.00 dollars per year. This money goes only to
the people that have jobs.
The amount of money that comes from the Permanent Fund Dividend
Program is approximately 200,000 dollars. Welfare provides the rest
of the money that runs the Marshall economy and amounts to about
500,000 dollars.
