Burch, Jr.’s passing in 2010, several colleagues collaborated to compile as complete a “Burch Bibliography” as possible. Our sources are as varied as were Tiger’s publication outlets. Among the sources we have scoured for citations are Tiger’s Curriculum Vitae, which appeared in numerous updated versions over the years; the bibliographies in Burch’s own publications, online citation search engines, our personal research notes and fi les, publications lists from several obituaries (Csonka 2010; Krupnik 2010a, 2010b; Krupnik and Stern 2012; Pratt 2011), and the Burch Collection at UAF (Stern, this volume). We present the list of Tiger Burch’s publications, reviews, major unpublished reports and manuscripts, and known oral presentations below, which is organized chronologically. The fi rst three types are lumped together and the known oral presentations (papers presented at conferences, addresses, etc.) and unpublished manuscripts are presented separately. Following the established journal pattern , publications that Tiger Burch coauthored and which show him as the fi rst author are indicated by an “and,” while the word “with” is used to identify those publications where he was the second (or third) author. We believe that the published record of Tiger Burch is covered very thoroughly and we do not expect any major “unknown” publications to surface shortly. To the contrary, our grasp of his oral presentations and unpublished works is all but preliminary. Unlike his many university-based colleagues, Tiger was very prudent in not recording his oral papers, contributions ‘in press’ or unpublished texts in his subsequent vitae and did not keep a list of these materials or such a list has not been found. A full catalog of Tiger’s unpublished manuscripts will most certainly come later, after a thorough examination of his papers at the UAF archives. For the record of Tiger’s papers given as oral presentations we examined the annual meeting schedules, programs and books of abstracts of major professional meetings that Tiger attended on a regular basis, such as the American Anthropological Association (AAA) annual meetings, Alaska Anthropological Association annual meetings (aaa), Inuit Studies Conferences, International Congresses of Arctic Social Sciences, and other sources. There are no doubt other papers he presented that we have not identifi ed. We are grateful to Theresa Thibault, who assisted us by going through her complete collection of the annual aaa meeting programs.","PeriodicalId":45997,"journal":{"name":"Arctic Anthropology","volume":"49 1","pages":"236 - 242"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2013-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66313520","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using material from his personal collection and the National Geographic Society archives, Burch’s contribution to the Saami portion of the map is analyzed for accuracy in 1825, the time period specified by the accompanying text. The remainder of the Peoples of the Arctic issue is also discussed in light of contemporary popular understanding of the Saami. The Saami portion of the map was based primarily on secondary in English sources, resulting in place names that used a mixture of languages. Yet, Burch’s reconstruction of the traditional resource territories in the North Cap region accurately reflected the complexity of the situation during the early 19th century before borders became fixed and states established sovereignty over the region. It also provides scholars with a model to test assumptions about how arctic peoples’ resource territories changed as they became incorporated into state-level societies.","PeriodicalId":45997,"journal":{"name":"Arctic Anthropology","volume":"49 1","pages":"128 - 142"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2013-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/arc.2012.0037","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66313841","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The historical records from the 18th and 19th century often note the seemingly small Chugach population and expansive territory occupied by this group. Analyzing the primary historical sources from the late 18th and early 19th centuries provides insight into how the Chugach were organized within the region and what events transpired to compel local Chugach groups to unify or wage war with each other for defense of territory and property. The methods used by Ernest Burch in his research of traditional Iñupiaq societies serve as guides in this research, though the resulting reconstruction differs in important ways from the groups he describes in northwest Alaska.","PeriodicalId":45997,"journal":{"name":"Arctic Anthropology","volume":"49 1","pages":"113 - 127"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2013-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/arc.2012.0034","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66314227","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Over the ensuing years, the two men formed a collaborative relationship and friendship. I attempt to fit their relationship into the more general context of Anungazuk’s life and suggest that Tiger Burch became mentor, teacher and friend to Herbert Anungazuk, even as he became teacher and friend to Tiger Burch. Before his death, Herbert Anungazuk had become one of very few Alaska Native anthropologists in a field dominated by non-Natives and an esteemed scholar of Iñupiaq culture and history.","PeriodicalId":45997,"journal":{"name":"Arctic Anthropology","volume":"35 1","pages":"213 - 220"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2013-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/arc.2012.0019","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66313351","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During the reindeer herding era, 1898–1951, changes in the abundance and distribution of native caribou led to interactions with the introduced domestic reindeer. Herders remember losing their reindeer when the animals joined migrating caribou herds. Oral histories reveal a mismatch between herders struggling to prevent their reindeer from joining caribou herds and administrators who assumed that caribou problems could be eliminated through more careful herding. Hunter observations since the demise of herding suggest that some reindeer-like animals persist in caribou herds. These observations provide insights into the history of reindeer herding in the region, our biological understanding of how the two subspecies interact in the wild, and the influence of a heritage with reindeer herding on how Barrow people identify animals on the land today.","PeriodicalId":45997,"journal":{"name":"Arctic Anthropology","volume":"49 1","pages":"162 - 181"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2013-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/arc.2012.0023","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66313568","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The Importance of Reading Ernest: Applying Burch’s Study of Interregional Interaction to Inuvialuit Ethnohistory","authors":"T. Friesen","doi":"10.1353/arc.2012.0018","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/arc.2012.0018","url":null,"abstract":"One of Ernest S. Burch, Jr.’s most important contributions to scholarship is his framework for understanding Iñupiat interregional interaction in 19th-century northwest Alaska. His precise definition of politically autonomous regional groups, which he termed “nations,” is complemented by an equally well defined consideration of how nations interacted with each other through trade, conflict, and other mechanisms. The result was the most comprehensive study ever written of how a hunter-gatherer society functions at the broadest spatial scale. As such, it is essential reading for anyone seeking a nuanced understanding of hunter-gatherer life-ways and is a rich source of analogs and ideas for those working in regions other than northwest Alaska. I illustrate this point by applying Burch’s framework to the closely related Inuvialuit nations of the Mackenzie Delta in northwestern Canada, just to the west of Iñupiat lands and compare major aspects of territorial organization, conflict, and trade that indicate virtually identical systems of interregional interaction in the two regions. Furthermore, application of some of the more subtle aspects of Burch’s model to the Inuvialuit region, and in particular to the important settlement of Kitigaaryuit, may resolve some issues that have seemed enigmatic in the Mackenzie Delta ethnohistoric record.","PeriodicalId":45997,"journal":{"name":"Arctic Anthropology","volume":"49 1","pages":"29 - 40"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2013-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/arc.2012.0018","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66313798","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Excellently preserved archaeological finds from two permanently frozen Saqqaq sites (ca. 2400–900 B.C.) in Disco Bay, West Greenland, form the starting point of the analyses, and comparative materials from Pre-Dorset and Independence I sites in Canada are included. Analyses of technology and design suggest that the material culture of the early ASTt acted as a constant reminder of strict cultural norms within which these geographically widespread and mobile pioneering people operated. This homogenous materiality ensured cultural and social coherence in a pioneering society, which constantly was on the move into unknown and uncertain landscapes. Analyses of decorated objects, possible amulets, and fragments of drums—the earliest in the Arctic—suggest that the early ASTt material culture was an integral part of an animistic cosmology.","PeriodicalId":45997,"journal":{"name":"Arctic Anthropology","volume":"49 1","pages":"58 - 71"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2013-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/arc.2012.0024","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66313583","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
