Alutiiq Heritage Foundation Board Chair Lorena Skonberg stopped by today for a tour of the museum's renovation. A highlight was seeing a beaded necklace made by her mother Marie Skonberg stored in the new collections vault. The museum purchased the necklace in 2010 with support from Rasmuson Foundation and Museums Alaska.

Much of the information stored in an artifact comes from its location. The place an object is found can help us learn about its age, function, manufacture, and much more. Kodiak has a rich archaeological record and artifacts are common finds. If you find an artifact, leave it in place to be studied. Take photos not objects. Artifacts are protected by law. Supported by the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Trustee Council. Learn More: https://lnkd.in/g4kphCkC

This beautiful hat - woven from Kodiak spruce roots by Vickie Era Pankretz and painted by Jerry Laktonen - is now a part of the Alutiiq Museum's collections. A heartfelt thanks to Vickie's family for giving it to the museum. She wore that hat to cultural celebrations and said about its creation, "This has been a meaningful journey of connection for me and I am grateful to our creator for guiding my hands and heart." We are honored to care for it.
