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 busi-
ness.

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:

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.

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.
