Native Village of Eklutna: Archaeological Resources and Traditional Cultural Properties, the K'enaht'ana Dena'ina Utilization of Lands Now Under the Purview of US Army Garrison-Alaska, Fort Richardson, Alaska

Author(s): Daniel E. Stone

Year: 2006

Summary

The Native Village of Eklutna (NVE) received a contract in 2006 (912CZ-05-C-0018) from USAG-AK to identify Traditional Cultural Properties (TCP) upon USAG-AK property, Fort Richardson, and within a one mile area of effect, the buffer area. Thirty-six geographical landscapes were investigated, including eight referenced by the Dena’ina Elder Shem Pete (Kari and Fall 2003). In addition to the field work, NVE staff collected and transcribed oral history interviews with Dena’ina Elders, the knowledge holders. This was a critical element in the project to identify those areas of cultural and subsistence significance as remembered by those who were there, who used the land. The combination of these two data sets has resulted in multi-layered GIS maps that reflect the traditional, cultural, religious, and subsistence usage of USAG-AK, Fort Richardson, land by the people of Eklutna. This report details this work.
