The object of this sole source award is to provide archeological services for the Kodiak Island National Wildlife Reserve in South Kiliuda Bay. US Fish and Wildlife intends to award one time award for this service in the amount of : $21,921.51. The Alutiiq Museum completed the Archeological Survey and Historical Building Evaluations in Terror Bay called Helgason Guide Camp and submitted the Cultural Resource Investigations to the Service in 2019. This was important for the Service to move forward with the demolition and removal of some of the structures and to ensure that any new cabin built would not impact the adjacent archeological site. Once the report was completed it was submitted to the State Historical Preservation Office (SHPO). SHPO required some final items before the Service can move forward with destruction of some of the structures to include: 1. Conduct oral histories. 2. The original house (although dilapidated) needs to remain and an interpretive sign would need to be created and installed. 3. When the new Service-owned public use cabin (will be built where numerous structures will be removed) is constructed, interpretive signs would need to be created and installed on the inside of the cabin. The Alutiiq Museum is uniquely qualified to conduct this work as they collected all the information and drafted the final report in 2019. The Alutiiq Museum & Archaeological Repository is located in Kodiak, Alaska and is the seventh museum in Alaska, and only the second tribal museum in the United States to hold a National Museum Accreditation. The information in the report will be used to create the interpretative panels which will be a mix of Alutiiq culture and bear guide history. The Alutiiq Museum also have a linguist that will be able to conduct the oral interviews and complete the transcription to best serve island-wide communities.
