Alaskan Native Cultures & Russian Church		US - Alaska
Confronting these documents, mostly written in Russian but some in the Alaskan Native languages of Aleut, Eskimo, and Tlingit, Dr. Ivanov has resuscitated the vibrant, incredibly moving human exchanges that took place between the priests of the Russian Orthodox Church in Alaska and Native Alaskans, during the years 1794 to about 1915. These remarkable priests, intrepid heroes such as the Russian "giant" Ioann Veniaminov and the Creole Iakov Netsvetov, were not merely essential to the success of the colony established by the Russian American Company in 1784, they were also the agents through which much of the culture and languages of Native Alaskans were preserved. Only in recent years has the magnitude of their achievement been recognized -- and most appropriately during this 200th anniversary of the founding of the first Orthodox mission in North America in 1794.

Chilkat Blanket	Tsimshian	US - Alaska
The Chilkat story of its origin says that long ago there lived on the Skeena River, in British Columbia, a Tsimshian woman, a widow, of the village of Kitkatla, and her only daughter, Hi-you-was-clar (rain mother). It had been a season of extreme want. The deep snows of winter still covered the lowlands, and the spirit of hunger stalked abroad as a famished wolf. Day after day the girl sat, half dazed from want of food, staring vacantly at the intricately carved and painted picture that covered the rear interior partition of the house; for, although poor, they were of high caste, and their surroundings spoke of past greatness. The picture finally took possession of her, and, setting up a rude frame, she forgot her suffering, and lost herself in the work of weaving an apron of like design. Later her hand was sought by the son of the chief and, in the exchange of presents, her handiwork was given to the father-in-law, who honored the occasion by a great feast, at which he wore the apron, and sacrificed many slaves in token of his appreciation of the gift. . .
Clothing of Tsimshian Nobles	Tsimshian	US - Alaska

Following the introduction of European woollen cloth, a new type of clothing was made from dark blue trade blankets, decorated with red flannel crest designs and pearl buttons - The Canadian Museum of Civilization.

Grassroots Science		US - Alaska
I�ve had a few people ask about research assistance, sort of tutoring, in their studies on environment, health, social and cultural sciences. This may be of interest to a wider group of folks, so I set up this non-commercial blog as an experiment. The site is focussed on the bird flu at the moment, because people are asking questions. A little over 10 years ago we had a �mystery illness� which killed healthy people (hantavirus) in New Mexico. We in the Pueblos couldn�t wait for IHS or CDC to figure out what the disease was and how to protect ourselves, if only from our own panic. We pooled our existing knowledge and expertise which helped our communities in their planning. [Sometimes it takes awhile for institutions to catch up with their constituents.]
