Introduction

This book was birthed out of my own frustration in trying to write science books for Alaskan villages. Clip art exists in abundance for other situations, but very little exists for Alaska, particularly the bush.

This collection is intended to help teachers and students create locally relevant materials. My hope is that each school and district will start their own local clipart collection that includes pictures from student work, elders' photos, drawings of local tools, animals, housing and historical artifacts. I hope some of these new images will be sent to AKRSI so we can share them with others around the state. The goal is to make it as easy as possible for teachers and students to develop locally relevant educational materials, particularly in the study of science.

Logistics

The files are in GIF format that should make for easy placement and sizing in your layout program. Some of the art is in grayscale which will effect its ability to be resized once placed. We have obtained permission to distribute the art. I did my absolute best to check all sources. If I erred in any regard, please inform me quickly.

Credits

No one ever seems to read the thank-you's, but we owe a great debt of gratitude to the following people and businesses. Many hours of gifted work went into the simple images they have made available to us for no personal gain.

Timeframe started an Alaska clipart collection several years ago, and gave it free to anyone who brought a disc. Their collection has grown. I borrowed many images from them. This is an impressive service on the part of an Anchorage business.

Timeframe 300 W 36th (36th and C St.) Anchorage, AK 99503 562-3822 The Alaska Native Language Center has been producing language materials for

years, and have considerable effort in art work. Their materials are public domain, and I used many of their images.

Many of the beautiful and accurate drawings of Alaskan plants and trees came from:

Alaska Trees & Shrubs Reprinted by Univ. of AK Press, Fairbanks, AK Leslie A. Viereck

Institute of Northern Forestry Pacific Nrothwest Forest & Range Experiment Station U.S.D.A. Forest Service, College, AK Elbert L. Little Jr. Division of Timber Management Research U.S.D.A. Forest Service Washington D.C. Purchase the book to get many more drawings with the explanations and descriptions. Ninestar gave permission to use the old ALL project books, the Nanalook series and others. The original artist, Kathleen Lynch still lives in Alaska. She drew most of the village scenes in this collection and many of the animals. Ninestar 279-7827 David Alexander, Director 125 W. 5th Anchorage, AK 99501 The Alutiiq Museum generously gave us the petroglyphs and some of the other miscelleneous art under the Native Art category. Thanks to Amy Steffian, Deputy Director/Curator. Please credit the Alutiiq Museum where appropriate. The Alaska Rural Systemic Initiative are the folks who are making this Alaska clipart colleciton available to you. Their work is funded by the National Science Foundation as part of a five-year grant to improve math and science skills in rural schools. AKRSI P.O. 756730 Fairbanks, Alaska, 99775 And thank you for wanting to create locally relevant materials for our students.

Sincerely, Alan Dick
