Organizers Pat McClenahan and Robert King announce a call for abstracts
for the 2010 Alaska Anthropological Association Annual Meeting. The
meeting, entitled 'Homesteading, Historic Cultural Remains, and Cultural
Dynamics in Historic-era Alaska (1867-1960s),' will be convened 24-27
March 2010 at the Millennium Hotel in Anchorage, Alaska.
Aboriginal people were present in Alaska from at least 15,000 years ago.
Alaska was acquired by the United States in 1867, setting off a chain of
events leading to the Alaska we know today. Homesteading in Alaska,
predominantly by Euro-Americans, led to many landscape and cultural
changes. The history of social and commercial development is reflected
in the historic structures and archaeological sites of the historic
American Period in Alaska (1867-1960s).
The symposium has been planned to provide the greatest opportunity for a
wide variety of papers on a wide variety of topics touching on the
historic anthropology, ethnography, and archaeology of Alaska from 1867
to the 1960s. All papers should somehow connect to homesteading. If
your topic site was not a homestead but instead involved land acquired
under some other legal authority (e.g., administrative site) that
allowed land to be privatized in Alaska, then an explanation about the
acquisition and how it differed from a homestead should be included.
The abstract submission deadline is Tuesday, 26 January 2010. Submissions
should be planned for a 20-minute presentation. Proposed paper titles
and abstracts can be submitted via email to Pat McClenahan
(plmcclenahan [at] gci.net) or sent in hardcopy to:
