The Beringian Yupik Heritage Project: The Population History Sourcebook of St. Lawrence Island, 1880-1998

摘要 Beringian Yupik遗产项目Krupnik，Walunga，梅特卡夫9812881 该项目分析和整合了档案文件中积累的历史数据，旧人口普查，家谱，历史记录，以及与阿拉斯加圣劳伦斯岛Yupik社区有关的早期出版物。 自19世纪80年代以来，科学家、传教士、教师和政府官员收集了这些数据，几十年来岛上居民几乎不知道这些数据。这些不同来源的数据将与口述历史和家谱记忆（当地知识）结合起来，对岛屿过去120年的历史及其与西伯利亚尤皮克人的关系进行扩展分析。 这些材料将成为"圣劳伦斯岛原始资料集"，并将纳入当地学校、语言和遗产课程。 该项目将加强白令加地区当地居民对历史资源的获取和利用，并开创民族历史研究的新模式，旨在通过文献记录、家谱和口述传统，将约1，500人的现代社区与其祖先人口联系起来。 作为与西伯利亚尤皮克人的合作努力，这项研究促进了对白令人社区共同遗产的理解。

ABSTRACT The Beringian Yupik Heritage Project Krupnik, Walunga, Metcalf 9812881 This project analyzes and integrates the historical data accumulated in archival documents, old population censuses, genealogies, historical records, and early publications related to the Yupik community of St. Lawrence Island, Alaska. Collected by scientists, missionaries, teachers, and government officers since the 1880s, these data remained for decades hardly known to the island residents. Together with oral histories and genealogical memory (local knowledge), these diverse sources of data will be integrated to produce an extended analysis of the last 120 years of island history and its relations with the Yupik people of Siberia. The material will form a "St. Lawrence Island Sourcebook" and be introduced into the local school, language, and heritage curricula. The project will enhance access to and use of historical resources by local residents of the Beringia area and pioneer a new pattern in ethnohistorical research aimed at bridging a modern community of some 1,500 people with its ancestral population via documentary records, genealogies, and oral tradition. As a cooperative effort with the Yupik people of Siberia, the research fosters understanding of a common legacy among Beringian communities.
