    Extractions: Accessable only by plane or boat, this area of Alaska contains all the classic features that people from all over the world come to Alaska to see: Vast pristine wilderness areas, huge mountains, glaciers and iceburgs, rainforest and giant old growth trees, and healthy populations of fascinating wildlife species including brown bears, whales, and moose, among many others. The community of Gustavus lies on the historic outwash plain created by the Glaciers that once filled Glacier Bay . Only two hundred years ago it was primarily, one big “beach.” The town itself is barely one hundred years old, being legally homesteaded in 1955, but pre-Gustavus history speaks of native Tlingit Indians and others using the area for fishing, berry picking and other similar uses.

    Extractions: The coming together of a renowned scholar and a rich, but relatively unknown and unused archive of historically significant documents is a rare phenomenon. Last winter the Librarian of Congress, Dr. James H. Billington, asked Dr. Vyacheslav Ivanov, one of the foremost linguists of our day, to review and evaluate the Alaskan Russian Church Archives, and to select some items for an exhibition. This installation is the direct result of that encounter, and it offers a rare opportunity to witness the insights that such an exchange can produce. In the space of little more than a month, Dr. Ivanov scoured hundreds of documents in the Archive, probing deeply for the vital, historical truths that lay within them. The results of that remarkably intense experience were an evaluative essay written by Dr. Ivanov about the Archive; an oral presentation of his findings and observations, shared with Dr. Billington and interested Library staff; and this exhibition based on objects Dr. Ivanov selected and commented upon while reviewing them, day after day, in the Manuscript Division, whose staff generously provided a room and brought forth box after box of documents. In 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.

    Extractions: TIT;E: A STUDY OF ALASKA AUTHOR: Rosie Tenge; Anchorage School Dist., Anchorage, AK GRADE LEVEL/SUBJECT: 2 - 12; Geography, history, reading OVERVIEW: Many students are not interested in, nor do they see any relevance or importance in the study of Alaska. They see Alaska as their home "for the time being." They also make the assumption that because they live here, they already know everything about Alaska. PURPOSE: The purpose of this unit is to teach students about the state of Alaska. Activities used in the unit will encourage reading, and writing-related-to-reading. The unit materials will encourage interest in Alaska's history and Alaska's geography (as one of our newest states). Designated activities will teach or review "how to research." Many "hands on opportunities" to observe or participate in will be provided. The unit should be taught in early February preceding Fur Rondy (state-wide, week- long, Alaskan celebration) and the world-famous Iditarod Race held in late February or early March (lasts 11 days - one month). The activities of the unit should be geared toward stimulating interest in both of these historic events. OBJECTIVES: As a result of this unit, students will be able to: 1. locate Alaska on a globe and wall map; 2. locate 2 main rivers on an Alaskan map; 3. locate 20 significant places on an Alaskan map; 4. locate 4 Alaskan island; 5. learn 15 new Alaskan vocabulary words (ex. musher's vocabulary); 6. locate on a map (Alaskan) where the 3 main native groups live; 7. learn 5 Alaskan "facts" (state bird, state song title, state flower, etc.) RESOURCES/MATERIALS: 1. globe, and wall map of Alaska 2. speakers (dog musher, framer of the Alaska constitution, pipeline employee, trapper, etc.) 3. Iditarod Trail map (large and current) 4. samples of Alaskan native food (optional) 5. Fur Rondy brochures (list all of activities for nine days) 6. Alaska magazines 7. Alaska Almanac 8. Daily newspapers 9. Alaska souvenirs ACTIVITIES AND PROCEDURES: 1. At the beginning of the unit, have the class "brainstorm" a list of words (on the blackboard) that come to mind when they think of Alaska. (get from 40- 60 words, keep a copy of the list) 2. Following the brainstorming activity, give students from 20-30 minutes to write a creative story about Alaska using all (or 99%) of the words on the "blackboard list." Remind students to be creative. 3. Have students illustrate their story. 4. "Share" the Alaskan stories orally in class on another day. 5. Give a pre-test that would include a blank map ("put on all the places that you know or have been to"); vocabulary list ("define all the words that you recognize"); list of important Alaskan people ("identify those you know something about"); section that tests for other historical information. Give the same test at the end of the unit. (Tell students when they take the pre-test, "you will see this information again.") 6. Students can write a Geo-Poem as part of the unit. 7. Have students bring in Alaskan items to share (students must know the history and explain it to the class). 8. Have students bring in a favorite Alaskan recipe with samples to taste, if possible, otherwise just make copies of the recipes for the class members. 9. Students can follow the Iditarod Race (keep daily journals using the newspaper). 10. Sing together the Fur Rondy theme song and the Iditarod theme song. 11. Teacher should publish a small book of their Alaskan stories, Geo-Poems, and recipes for each student to keep as a souvenir. TYING IT ALL TOGETHER: 1. Give the post-test 2. Hand out small book of published students' writings (a surprise for them) 3. Briefly discuss (as a class) how much you know now about Alaska as opposed to what you thought you already knew.

    Extractions: Before the creation of the Suez Canal (completed in 1869) and the Panama Canal (begun 1882, completed 1914), navigation between the hemispheres was a complicated process, involving lengthy trips around the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa or the Cape of Horn in South America, both notoriously difficult to navigate. Explorers turned their attention to the north, in the hopes of finding a means of sailing from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Two major paths, a Northeast Passage and a Northwest Passage, were sought for centuries, with minimal success. The searches for a Northeast Passage one from the north of Scandinavia, into the Arctic Basin, and along the north coast of Asia began in the late sixteenth century. In 1596, fifteen Dutch sailors, led by Jacob van Heemskerck and Willem Barents, tried to complete the Northeast Passage, only to be trapped in June near the northcape of Novaya Zemlya . The sailors were trapped there for months in an ad-hoc dwelling built from driftwood they called Het Behouden Huys (the Saved House; the site was discovered in 1871). Their ordeal was described in print by one of the sailors, Gerrit de Veer, in 1598.

    Extractions: Lodging The Kenai Fjords are coastal mountain fjords whose placid seascapes reflect scenic ice bound landscapes and whose salt spray mixes with mountain mist. Located on the southeastern Kenai Peninsula, the national park is a pristine and rugged land supporting many unaltered natural environments and ecosystems. The land boasts an icefield wilderness, unnamed waterfalls in unnamed canyons, glaciers that sweep down narrow mountain valleys, and a coastline along which thousands of seabirds and marine mammals raise their young each year. Though the land is subsiding, a mountain platform 1 mile high still comprises the coast's backdrop. The mountains are mantled by the 300-square-mile Harding Icefield, the park's dominant feature. The icefield was not discovered until early this century when a mapping team realized that several coastal glaciers belonged to the same massive system. Today's icefield measures some 35 miles long by 20 miles wide. Only isolated mountain peaks interrupt its nearly flat, snowclad surface. These protruding nunataks-this Eskimo word means "lonely peaks"-rise dramatically from the frozen clutches of the Ice Age. The mountains intercept moisture-laden clouds, which replenish the icefield with 35-65 feet of snow annually. Time and the weight of overlying snow transform the snow into ice. The pull of gravity and the weight of the snowy overburden make the ice flow out in all directions. It is squeezed into glaciers that creep downward like giant bulldozers, carving and gouging the landscape. Along the coast eight glaciers reach the sea, and these tidewater glaciers calve icebergs into the fjords. The thunderous boom of calving ice can sometimes be heard 20 miles away.

    Extractions: high temperatures on a given day in the United States to reach 70 degrees Fahrenheit (about 40 degrees Celsius). The United States owes much of its national character and its wealth to its good fortune in having such a large and varied landmass to inhabit and cultivate. Yet the country still exhibits marks of regional identity, and one way Americans cope with the size of their country is to think of themselves as linked geographically by certain traits, such as New England self-reliance, southern hospitality, midwestern wholesomeness, western mellowness. This chapter examines American geography, history, and customs through the filters of six main regions: New England , made up of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. The Middle Atlantic , comprising New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland. The South , which runs from Virginia south to Florida and west as far as central Texas. This region also includes West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, and parts of Missouri and Oklahoma. The Midwest , a broad collection of states sweeping westward from Ohio to Nebraska and including Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota, Iowa, parts of Missouri, North Dakota, South Dakota, Kansas, and eastern Colorado.
