Celebrate

Celebrations for Alaska Archaeology Month take place each April. Along with an annual poster, mailed to every school in Alaska, there are local events and activities which highlight a wide variety of topics of archaeological and anthropological interest.

Poster

The 2007 poster highlights the culture and values of the Dena’ina people of south-central Alaska. It was sponsored by the Matanuska-Susitna Borough in cooperation with the Alaska Native Heritage Center, Anchorage Museum at the Rasmuson Center, Knik Tribal Council, Chickaloon Village Traditional Council, and the Alaska Anthropological Association Public Education Group.
