F-22 Plus-Up Environmental Assessment 3.0 Affected Environment 3.7.1.3 Traditional Cultural Properties and Alaska Native Concerns Although no traditional cultural properties have yet been identified on JBER-Elmendorf, neighboring Alaska Natives have raised concerns regarding the possibility of Alaska Native burials located on JBER-Elmendorf property (Air Force 2008b). Ongoing consultation between the Air Force and Alaska Natives on this and other issues is conducted on a government-to-government basis. The federally recognized tribes in the nearby area are the Eklutna and Knik Tribes (Air Force 2008a). 3.7.2 Training Airspace Existing Conditions Archaeological sites under training airspace include native burial grounds, village and settlement sites, and historic mining sites (Air Force 2006). Architectural resources under the proposed MOAs include structures relating to gold mining, trapping, or the railroad (Air Force 2006). In addition to NRHP-listed sites, there are likely to be additional cultural resources that are either eligible or potentially eligible for NRHP listing under airspace. Federally recognized Alaska Native villages under or near the airspace discussed below are illustrated in Figure 3.7-2. 3.7.2.1 Galena MOA There are no NRHP-listed cultural sites under the Galena MOA (National Register Information Service [NRIS] 2011). However, connecting trails of the Iditarod National Historic Trail are located under the MOA. The Iditarod Trail is a network of more than 2,300 trails which takes its name from an Athabascan Indian village. Trails used by the Ingalik and Tanaina Indians and Russian fur traders were improved by miners in the early 1900s. The trails were heavily used by miners until 1924 when airplanes came into use (Bureau of Land Management [BLM] 2000). In 1925, dog teams and drivers gained national attention when they delivered diptheria serum from Nenana to Nome in 127 hours along the trail. The annual Iditarod race retraces the route. 3.7.2.2 Stony A/B MOA The Stony A and B MOAs lie above the Kolicachuk, Upper Kuskokwim and Deg Hit’An language regions (Alaska Native Knowledge Network 2000). There is one NRHP-listed resource under the Stony A,B MOAs. The Kolmakov Redoubt Site is in the Sleetmute area under Stony B (NRIS 2011). Federally recognized Alaska Native villages under or near the airspace are: Crooked Creek, Georgetown, Lime Village, Red Devil, Sleetmute, and Stony River (Bureau of Indian Affairs 2000). Crooked Creek was reported by a Russian explorer in 1844 as “Kvikchapak” in Yup’ik and “Khottylno” in Ingalik (Alaska Department of Community and Economic Development [DCED] 2000). At that time the site was used as a summer fish camp for the Kwigiumpainukamuit villagers. A permanent settlement was established there in 1909 as a way-station for the Flat and Iditarod gold camps. A trading post was founded in the upper village (upriver from the creek mouth) in 1914, and a post office and school were built in the late 1920s. The lower village was settled by Eskimo and Ingalik people. Native lifestyle is based on subsistence activities including salmon, moose, caribou, and waterfowl (Alaska DCED 2000). Both parts of the village remain today. Page 3-39
