The site tells us about ancient hunters in northwest Alaska as people have hunted caribou here for more than 10,000 years.

Alaska's National Historic Landmarks

 

 

Alaska’s nationally designated landmarks span the state from Kake, in Southeast Alaska, to Barrow on the Arctic Coast, and from Eagle on the Canadian border, to Attu at the end of the Aleutian chain. We have 15 prehistoric landmarks, or archaeological sites that date back to pre-European times, and 34 historic landmarks, places that illustrate the state’s past since Europeans arrived. Together, our landmarks tell the story of roughly 11,000 years of Alaska history.
