National Park Service

Description

Cultural resources in the Bering Strait region are among the richest in the world, and are recognized and protected in National Park Service units like Bering Land Bridge Preserve and Cape Krusenstern National Monument. Cultural resources in this region are at severe risk of destruction from coastal erosion, and rampant site looting. The project described here, the Nome Community Archaeology Expedition, is an attempt to address these issues by making local students aware of and excited about the science of archaeology and the insights it can provide into Alaska Native traditions.
