Reader Reviews
Edited by Alexandra McClanahan for The CIRI Foundation, A Reference In Time: Alaska Native History Day By Day is a unique presentation of the history of Alaska's Native American community. It is divided into sections corresponding to just about every day of every month, and each day lists those profound historical events that directly affected Alaska's native peoples as recorded through down through the years of modern history. For example, the entry for May 2 lists both an expedition dispatched by Russian explorer Grigorii Shelikhov in 1785 and the adoption of the (then) Territory of Alaska's official flag in 1927. A fascinating, expertly researched, succinctly chronological reference, and featuring an extensive index for ease of use, A Reference In Time is a unique and welcome addition to the growing library of Native American Studies supplemental reading materials and academic reference works.
