Dr. Catherine West publishes Coloring Iqalluut—Fish, a coloring book on Alutiiq fishing traditions
Dr. Catherine West produced a coloring book, Coloring Iqalluut—Fish, with an Alaska Native artist and a tribal museum based
on some of her archaeological research.
This 28-page coloring book explores many aspects of Kodiak Alutiiq fishing, from the species caught to the seasonal rhythm of fishing and the tools used in harvesting. The publication features original drawings by Alutiiq artist Hanna Sholl, Alutiiq language vocabulary shared by Elder Alutiiq speakers, and a brief introduction to Alutiiq fishing. The project is a collaboration between Sholl, the Alutiiq Museum, and Dr. Catherine West, an archaeologist at Boston University. It was funded as part of a grant to West from the North Pacific Research Board.
