1. The works of early European and European-American
explorers. It should be clear these individuals are not discovering
the land and waters as Native people are already present. The Europeans
and European- Americans are discovering the ignorance of their ancestors
about these places.
2. Russians, Yankee Whalers, missionaries, miners,
adventurers, and traders. Concerning Alaska Native people these
texts range from genuine interest to viewing us as curiosities to
arrogant ignorance.
3. Government reports, documents, accounts by Alaska
teachers. By the early 1880's the government documents, including
census and annual reports of teachers become significant sources of
information. They tell some indirect information about Alaska Native
people. More importantly these texts cast light on the perspectives,
policies and practices of the European-Americans in Alaska. The teacher
accounts are generally not about their teaching or what they are trying
to teach. (Tisha is an exception) The teacher texts are normally
about adventure and the Alaska Native communities in which they work
and live.
4. Anthropological works. These works often
contain valuable information about traditional life and practices.
At the same time it is important to recognize these texts are written
with a professional agenda. The texts often tell more about the period
and school of anthropology of the author than about traditional practices
and beliefs. At times the arrogance of some anthropologists is matched
only by some Alaskan missionaries.
5. Federal Indian law and policy. Most European
-Americans and, tragically, many Alaska Natives are not acquainted
with the history of Federal Indian law and policy. Alaska Natives
are Native Americans under U.S. law. We are dual citizens. We are
citizens of our tribes and, since 1924, citizens of the United States.
This status predates and is incorporated into the U.S. Constitution.
Federal Indian law has important implications for the lives of Alaska
Natives and other Native Americans today.
6. Alaska Native and Native American authors.
This last category includes Senungetuk, Bigjim, Erdrich, Deloria,
Oquilluk, Dorris, Barsh, Green, Wells, etc. These texts are important
as they provide inside perspectives and indicate the variety of viewpoints
represented within the Native community. It was not until college
that I was even made aware of Native American authors. For Alaska
Native students to graduate from public schools ignorant of our histories,
our organizations and our own authors is to miseducate the next generation.
It can and should be different. This bibliography is intended to support
making such a difference.
I should also note that many of the texts included
may be currently out of print. I suggest Powell Books of Portland, Oregon,
as well as other used book stores, to locate these texts. Other texts
may be located by contacting the publisher.
I hope later editions of this bibliography will benefit
further from the suggestions of veteran scholars and from the Native
community.
