Alaska's Cultural Heritage Program
The public lands entrusted to BLM-Alaska are a wondrous gateway to unparalleled knowledge of the past. From fossil discoveries of ancient dinosaurs that lived above the Arctic Circle millions of years ago, to traces spanning over 14,000 years of our own human past and cultures, these lands are among the world's best outdoor laboratories. Here we can learn how people and animals lived in Alaska over time, and about the forces that shaped their changing environments. In these pages, we invite you to share recent exciting discoveries made on these lands by today's archaeologists, paleontologists, historians, and ethnographers. The rich history, culture, and amazing landscapes of these lands await you.
