This grant is for supporting the Nome Community Archaeology Expedition, a vital initiative addressing the severe threats to cultural resources in Alaska’s Bering Strait region. These invaluable resources, recognized within National Park Service units, face significant destruction from coastal erosion and rampant site looting. The expedition’s primary purpose is to safeguard these ancient sites while simultaneously engaging and educating local students. By involving them directly in the science of archaeology, the project aims to foster awareness and enthusiasm for cultural preservation. This hands-on experience will not only equip the next generation with conservation skills but also provide profound insights into Alaska Native traditions, ensuring the safeguarding of indigenous heritage for future generations against ongoing environmental and human-caused risks.
