The Unangans of the Aleutian Islands depended on birds for food, clothing and tools. Beyond these mundane needs, birds, especially seabirds, interacted with humans in meaningful ways, were sources of powerful strength, and were sentient beings imbued with spiritual meaning. , Unangan Provides a brief introduction to Aleut and its homeland, shows how birds were used in everyday life, and explores aspects of the relationship between birds and the Unangan people.
Corbett’s obsession with the Aleutian Islands began in high school when he read Hector Chevigny’s Russian America: The Great Adventures of Alaska, 1741-1867. His images of islands struck her as “beautiful as green, with long grasses and overhanging cliffs into the waves.” Her first Alaskan job with her Indian Bureau took her to the islands. Her job was to investigate historic sites claimed by newly formed Native American companies under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act. BIA sent her two crew members to Adak Island in the Aleutian Islands. Corbett was selected to be one of the crew because she was familiar with the boat. They spent three months in one of the most beautiful places on earth, her in a rat-infested hut with an inflatable boat. She went completely crazy.
In 1989, he attended graduate school at the University of Alaska Fairbanks and in 1991 received his master’s degree and worked for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. During her time at school, her adviser gave her her phone number and she said, call him! ” Her future was decided. From 1991 to 2003, she conducted research with the aforementioned biologists, Dr. Douglas Causey, and Dr. Christine Lefevre. I’ve experienced the worst of it all: shipwrecks, injuries, laughter, frustration, terror, transcendental joy, incredible archeology, all shared with wonderful friends and many students and colleagues.
