This is web copy I prepared in 2023 for a capital campaign focused on raising money for the Alaska Native Heritage Center.

Short Form Message

I’m writing to ask for your support in preserving and strengthening Alaska Native cultures. Your contribution goes directly towards our community of artists, culture bearers, creators, and innovators. With your donation today, you can make sure that youth throughout Alaska have the ability to understand their cultural roots. This leads to incredibly important benefits for the entire state, as those connections to culture bring healing and help our entire community thrive towards a brighter future. Our organization is built upon the ten universal Alaska Native values, and in honor of the value Share What You Have: Giving Makes You Richer, we ask that you help us meet our goal this year.

In honor of the 25th Anniversary of the Alaska Native Heritage Center, our organization is engaging our community and all those who work with or on behalf of the Alaska Native community through a campaign focused on sustaining the incredibly important impacts which we’ve been able to realize since the visionary Paul Tiulana first conceived of the Alaska Native Heritage Center. We need the support of as many people as possible to help us reach our goal of $25 million. Funds raised through this campaign are going to help ANHC redesign our exhibits, create an endowment to ensure we can properly steward our growing collection of historic cultural objects, create groundbreaking new art, and build spaces for our youth to be immersed in cultural practice.

This journey started when Emily Edenshaw took the role of President and CEO following a period of organizational transition. In the dark winter months between 2019 and 2020, Emily began envisioning the need to transform ANHC, especially the interpretive spaces which had suffered from being underfunded and improperly implemented since the initial building of the facility. Unfortunately, as these ideas were beginning to percolate, COVID-19 hit and the world had to drastically adjust through the trauma of a pandemic.

The organization was fortunate to receive an initial planning grant from the MJ Murdock Charitable Trust, which facilitated thorough development of the concepts that have ultimately materialized into numerous grant proposals to agencies like the Economic Development Administration, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Rasmuson Foundation, and the Institute of Museums and Library Sciences. The ANHC team worked with the likes of SALT, Aldrich Pears, ExhibitAK, MCG Explore Design, and many others to develop the vision for a renovated facility.

Thanks to generous grants from the Rasmuson Foundation and the Economic Development Administration, the organization was able to execute initial implementation of design and construction activities. We’re proud to report that we are going to be unveiling our upgraded Gathering Space, Lobby, and Hall of Cultures as part of our 25th anniversary. While we’ve made a lot of progress, we still have much left to do. That is why we are executing a transformational campaign focused on raising $25 million that will be dedicated to this incredibly important facility-focused project.

We’ve worked with many of our community members to garner insights and visions for what this space should look like; we’ve asked our elders, our youth, our partners, and our artists. These individuals were incredibly generous with their time and their thoughts and we are sincerely grateful for those who have guided this project. They include Aaron Legett, Marilyn Balluta, Benjamin Jacuk, Anna Hoover, and many others who have contributed their thoughts and efforts over the years.

Our new exhibits are going to provide visitors from around the world with important information about the Dena’ina community upon whose lands we are built. They’ll learn about the beautiful diversity of our statewide community through identity-focused interpretations. Visitors and community members alike will benefit from arts-centered programming that illustrates the importance of cultural revitalization through hands-on practice. Our organization is also going to present a chronological interpretation of Education in Alaska which will include groundbreaking research into the history and impacts of assimilative boarding schools. Digital content will be displayed on touchscreen monitors and we’ll be building out tools for community members and researchers around the globe to engage with our collections and the discoveries we’ve made about culture, history, and art. We’re also transforming our theater into a cutting edge experiential reality space, which will elevate our cultural tourism offerings. Visitors will be able to get hands on education through virtual reality alongside innovative integration of emerging technology to present artistic installations of Alaska Native culture.

The impact of your donation goes beyond the measurable factors that we track, such as the positive impacts to the visitor industry, the cultural confidence of our youth, the opportunities for artists to practice, or the volume of information we gather about boarding schools. Your support changes the fabric of Alaskan society. It allows for improved representation of Alaska Native people throughout the globe. Your decision to give today leads to a perception shift in every person that we reach over the next 25 years. The education delivered by ANHC to its beneficiaries, both from within the Alaska Native community and from the visitors who come to us, helps individuals comprehend what it means to be Alaska Native. To understand oneself is to have strength in your identity. To understand someone who is different than yourself is to have compassion and empathy. These qualities that we cultivate are so important and you have the power to make this vision a reality. Please help us bring that value to the world and to our community.

We ask for your support however you may be able to provide it. If you have an in-kind service or item you think might help our project, we would love to hear from you. In honor of the Alaska Native value Share What You Have: Giving Makes You Richer, please consider providing a donation to our organization. Please reach out to 25for25@alaskanative.net with any questions, comments, or other feedback you may want to provide to us. Donations are accepted through the button below, via check sent to 8800 Heritage Center Drive, Anchorage AK 99504, via phone at 907 802 0441, or in person at ANHC. If you’re dropping by, please ask for Greg Stewart, he can help you provide support for this important project.

Like I would see coyotes and wolves on trinkets at the store and roll my eyes, id see a giant taxidermy bear in the library and in a restaurant and stare at it wondering what was so special abt it and id see an appliqué moose on a quilt at the quilt shop and be like girl why do y’all love these animals so much and everyone would be like “bc we live here” and I’m like “I live here too and I’m sick of seeing them in every single piece of art like aren’t y’all tired of it?”

and look at me now. moose rights activist. bear enthusiast. I already loved lynx bc I like cats so that wasn’t hard but wow do y’all know the sound an elk makes? Like yeah musk ox are stinky but they’re kinda cool. y’all know I have friends that didn’t think reindeer were real? yeah the wolverines were attacking ppls dogs last year but kinda cool that we have wolverines right. mayhaps ptarmigans are a little interesting. like if I’m being honest a bald eagle is like the least interesting thing we got up here like those are all over the country now lemme see a caribou.

Incorporating storytelling into their language revitalization efforts, elders are creating and telling stories in Dena’ina to imparting their knowledge onto language learners.

Joel Isaak, artist and Dena’ina language professor with Kenai Peninsula College, spoke about the project at Tuesday’s Alaska Native Studies Symposia, put on by the University of Alaska Anchorage.

Isaak apprentices with Helen Dick, a Dena’ina elder. Since COVID-19 hit, they’ve been Zoom-ing daily to record Dena’ina stories.

He said a major key of the project is that elders should drive the language work.

“And so what we’ve striven to do is surround the elder we’re working with with the support she needs and we need her to be able to be speaking every day. And for us as language learners that aren’t as proficient, this gives her a way to talk with us and for us to listen, and also a structure for how to teach students who want to learn language, as well,” he says.

At first, they were translating work from English to Dena’ina.

“When we were first starting off the project, we were trying to figure out, ‘How do we develop resources?’ [...]” Isaak said.

They ended up creating a series of stories and have amassed hundreds, keeping track of them in a table of contents accompanied by detailed notes. They also work on breaking the pieces down and analyzing their grammar.

“We’re trying to not just take English syntax structure and put it into Dena’ina. We want it to be Dena’ina,” Isaak said.

He said those cultural components are instrumental to their revitalization effort.

“A big part of our language work is, ‘Where does language come from?’ Language is a response to place, it’s the form of communication, so this is why we have to do the language with the culture,” he said. “They’re not separate.”

460-Year-Old Hunting Bow Discovered in Alaska

Archaeologists and other experts are still working to uncover more details about the bow’s origin and history

National Park Service employees made an unlikely discovery in the backcountry of Lake Clark National Park and Preserve in Alaska this past September: a 54-inch wooden hunting bow that was found under 2 feet of water, but still intact.

Scientists and archeologists are analyzing the hunting bow in an attempt to learn more about its origin and history. According to radiocarbon dating conducted by the NPS, the bow is estimated to be 460 years old, ranging in origin between 1506 and 1660. The real mystery lies not in how old the bow is, but where it came from.

Park officials found the antique weapon on Dena’ina lands, an Athabascan indigenous people whose ancestral lands cover much of South-Central Alaska, including a large portion of Lake Clark National Park and Preserve. However, preliminary research suggests that the handcrafted bow might not be of Dena’ina origin. After consulting with Elders and comparing the bow with similar artifacts from that time period, experts believe the artifact has more in common with a Yup’ik or Alutiq style bow.

The homeland of the Dena’ina, which comprises roughly 41,000 square miles along the coast of the Cook Inlet, is called the Denaʼina Ełnena, and it includes lands where present-day Anchorage is located. Dena’ina lands also cover much of Lake Clark National Park and Preserve, including the lake itself, which is traditionally known as “Qizhjeh Vena”.

The Dena’ina culture, which prioritizes a connection to nature and respect for the wilderness, has a rich history in the Athabascan region. “We call this ‘K’etniyi’ meaning ‘it’s saying something,” writes Karen Evanhoff, cultural anthropologist for Lake Clark National Park and Preserve.

Anthropologists have also learned that the Dena’ina regularly interacted with indigenous peoples from neighboring regions, including the Yup’ik who live in the coastal region of southwestern Alaska, from Bristol Bay along the Bering coast and up to Norton Sound. This intercultural history would help explain how a Yup’ik bow might end up on Dena’ina homelands in the first place.    

“For the Dena’ina people, trading and sharing knowledge with their Yup’ik neighbors as well as other groups such as the Tanana, Tlingit, Ahtna, Deg Hit’an and coastal residents of Prince William Sound and Kodiak was common,” the NPS explains.

Experts are still working to piece together the clues, however, and the cultural history of the bow is just one part of the puzzle.

Soon after it was discovered, the bow was transported to the Park Service’s Regional Curatorial Center in Anchorage, where experts have inspected the artifact and analyzed its natural origins. As part of this analysis, the NPS brought in Dr. Priscilla Morris, a wood identification consultant with the U.S. Forest Service.

“After inspecting the artifact, I am leaning towards spruce,” Morris told the NPS after taking a closer look at the bow. “Birch is also a suspected species, but I did not see any anatomical characteristics that lead me to believe birch over spruce.”

Morris explained that her hypothesis was based solely on what she could see underneath a hand lens, and that a concrete identification would require looking at a cut-up sample underneath a microscope. This is unlikely to happen anytime soon, however, as the NPS wants to preserve the bow and keep it intact for the time being. As NPS archaeologist Jason Rogers explained, these discoveries are rare in Alaska, especially when compared to Europe and other more developed parts of the world.

“In Alaska, we just don’t have that kind of development so it’s very rare,” Rogers told the local news earlier this week. “It’s very rare for us to come across material like this.”

Writing system and pronunciation

These are the letters that make up the alphabet: a b ch ch’ d dl dz e f g gg gh h ĥ i k k’ l ł m n q q’ s sh t t’ tl tl’ ts ts’ v x y ŷ z zh ’.

E, i, and u are lowered when a back velar (gg, q, q’, or h) precedes or follows them, i.e., the tongue drops to a slightly lower position.

Grammar

Nouns have two numbers (singular and dual). However, they are not obligatorily marked for number. Some nouns are inherently possessed and therefore refer to something everyone has.

There are no articles. Postpositions can be independent, follow a pronoun or a noun, or be incorporated into verbs as prefixes.

Verbs are conjugated for mode/tense (future, imperfect, inceptive, neuter, optative-intentional, and perfect), aspect (continuative, durative, momentaneous, neuter, and repetitive), person, gender, number, and object. They also express causality.

Dialects

There are four dialects: Upper Inlet, Outer Inlet, Iliamna, and Inland.

radical gardener vol. 7: land recognition

This is Dena’ina ełnena.

In recent years, more and more events and rally open with a land recognition. A land recognition, or territory acknowledgement, is a statement that recognizes the indigenous people who have been dispossessed of their land by settler-colonial nations.

In Alaska, 1/7 of the population is Alaska Native or Native American. Native people and culture are integrated into the general population. It is crucial that indigenous peoples’ claim to the land is recognized, as their rights to land and livelihood has been degraded for centuries.

Prior to colonization, indigenous people did not “own” the land. Property was not a concept. The land did not belong to the people – people belonged to the land. People stewarded the land, and its bounty was shared by all.

Land recognition is one of the first steps of the larger process of decolonization. But it is not enough to simply state who lived on the land first; land recognitions must also recognize the broken treaties, the fact that indigenous people were dispossessed and evicted from their land, and that the settler-colonial system continues to oppress indigenous people to this day, by depriving them of their health and wellbeing, culture and traditions.

Settlers must recognize that they are guests on indigenous land, and that they are not entitled to its governance.

Scope of Project

In this volume, there are two maps.

The first is the Indigenous Peoples and Languages of Alaska, published by the Alaska Native Language Center at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. This map is so familiar to me, as it is posted at all levels of educational institutions throughout Alaska. There are high resolutions available online, where you can see the indigenous place names for most major communities within Alaska. It is important to note that the delineation between regions is not a strict border. I was inspired by the ANLC map to create my own version, featuring place names within southcentral Alaska, which is the second map shown.

Southcentral Alaska is home to more than half of Alaska’s population, and is the most densely populated region of Alaska. This map features the Anchorage Bowl and the southern half of the Matanuska-Susitna River valleys. It is within the traditional territory of the Dena’ina people, and Ahtna people have also lived in the area, and they frequently intermingled. The Dena’ina and the Ahtna people are Dene (Athabascan) people, and are related to other Dene peoples within Alaska, Canada, along the Pacific coast, as well as the Navajo and Apache nations.

Shem Pete’s Alaska: The Territory of the Upper Inlet Dena’ina, James Kari’s seminal work about Dene place names, was invaluable in the creation of my map. The man interviewed by James Kari, Shem Pete (1896-1989), was an intrepid traveler who had a vast repository of knowledge about Dena’ina place names. In his work, there is a wealth of stories and legends. For Alaskans, it is a must-read.

Where there is only one place name present, it is in Dena’ina only; where there are two places names, it is in both Dena’ina and Ahtna. I decided to insert recorded Ahtna place names when they were present, to recognize the fact that this is a traditionally bilingual region. Dene people in this area were versed in both languages as they traveled, traded, and intermarried, and in the later colonial period, Native people here frequently spoke four or more languages: Dena’ina, Ahtna, Russian, and English.

I am someone who is descended from settlers. The purpose of this volume is to convey and amplify what I have learned from my Native friends and colleagues to the public at large. My goal is that settlers in Alaska will become more comfortable using longstanding indigenous places names, instead of marking familiar geographical features with colonial names. Captain Cook does not need the attention that he receives.

I encourage my readers to engage with the indigenous peoples of the land that they are living on.

Notes on a Fishing Trip to Kasilof, Alaska

1. Kasilof is a small fishing town on the border of the Kasilof River, which feeds into the Cook Inlet. This town, and this river, lie on the western edge of the Kenai Peninsula. The name Kasilof is anglicized Russian, from the name “река Касилова”. Kasilof is best known as a popular fishing location, since massive amounts of wild salmon swim up the river every year. Other than this, it is an obscure town, even in Alaska.

2. The cabin we stay in, fifteen minutes’ drive from the mouth of the river, is full of spiders.

3. No one likes to sleep in a strange place. The spare bedroom that I am supposed to stay in is down a hall from the rest of the house. It is cold and lonely and full of spiders.

4. On our first day in the cabin I see eleven magpies searching for insects in the yard. I remember a nursery rhyme for telling omens from the number of magpies you see, but I don’t remember what eleven stands for.

5. It is July. The cottonwood trees are releasing their fluffy seeds. When the wind blows, it looks like snow.

6. I walk down the dirt road with my mom. We find a wildflower that I have never seen before, one that opens for the sun, bright red and then orange. I cannot find this plant in our wildflower guidebook.

7. The cabin has, or had, a cellar. There is one door inside the house, sealed up and caulked a long time ago. There is a second door outside. No one has tried to open it yet.

8. We drive down the Sterling Highway. I see flags and banners for the Trump 2020 campaign.

9. I walk out of the cabin, past the far end of the yard, and into the woods around the house. I find a grave, fenced off. The plaque reads:

Sandwick

Shirley 1925-1931

John 1927-1931

10. I keep finding nickels on the ground. One on the road, one on the boardwalk in Homer, one in a public bathroom off the highway. I am cautious of germs, so I never pick any of them up.

11. At the beach, on a driftwood log, I see a pair of pink Toms shoes, child-sized. Next to the shoes, I find a half-eaten piece of saltwater taffy. Both appear to have been abandoned.

12. You can find the best waffle fries in Alaska at a Tesoro gas station on the Sterling Highway, just north of Soldotna.

13. The view from the highway: cow parsnip, wild lupines, spruce, cottonwood, yarrow, fireweed, wild geraniums, horsetail.

14. Kasilof is a settler colony next to Ggasilatnu, a river in Athabascan Dena’ina territory that feeds into Tikahtnu. This settler town, and this river, lie on the western edge of Yaghanen, a name which translates to “the good land”. The name Kasilof is anglicized Russian. It was chosen by Russian settlers in the 19th century. Kasilof is built on land that belongs to the Kahtnuht’ana Dena’ina tribe. Everyone who fishes there fishes on stolen land.
