Anaktuvuk Pass, Alaska Village Census

摘要

This report represents an updating of similar censuses conducted at Anaktuvuk Pass, Alaska, during November 1969, September 1972, June 1975, and August 1978. During the initial years of 1962-1964 in the Alaskan radiation ecology studies, centered at Anaktuvuk Pass, it became apparent that various age groups among the residents showed important differences in exp 137 Cs body burdens and that a permanent record of the birth dates and locations would be a necessity. These vital data are the sole record of birth dates and places of several Anaktuvuk Pass people and have proved helpful to them in many contexts. The information has been readily provided and periodically updated with the full knowledge and cooperation of the people. This report must be considered an interim record because the composition of the village resident structure constantly changes; however, the information is as current and as accurate as possible. It is presented here for the interest of the people of Anaktuvuk Pass and the use of scientists and lay persons who recognize the unique qualities of the nunamiut and wish to know more about these people.
