A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the Bureau of
Land Management and Smithsonian
Institution professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Ounalashka Corporation and
Qawalangin Tribe of Unalaska.
Sometime during the 1950s to 1970s,
human remains representing a
minimum of one individual were
removed from the Kismaliuk Cave site,
which is located west of Unalaska on
Unalaska Island in the Fox Island group
of the eastern Aleutian Islands,
Aleutians East Borough, AK. No known
individual was identified. No associated
funerary objects are present.
Sometime during the 1950s to 1970s,

removed from the Amaknak-D site near
Unalaska on Amaknak Island in the Fox
Island group of the eastern Aleutian
Islands, Aleutians East Borough, AK. No
known individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
According to museum records, the
human remains were excavated by the
now-deceased Dr. William Laughlin of
the University of Wisconsin under
Federal permits. All excavations were
done on land managed by the Bureau of
Land Management at the time. No
further information was found in
museum records. In 2007, these human
remains were moved from the
University of Wisconsin to the
Smithsonian Institution for inventory.
Unalaska Island and nearby Amaknak

individuals of Native American
ancestry. Officials of the Bureau of Land
