Report On Introduction of Domestic Reindeer Into Alaska, Volume 6

By Sheldon Jackson

Report on Introduction of Domestic Reindeer into Alaska, Volume 6 details the efforts to introduce domestic reindeer to Alaska in the late 19th century. Authored by Sheldon Jackson and the United States Bureau of Education, Alaska Division, this report provides valuable insights into the logistical, economic, and social aspects of this ambitious project. The introduction of reindeer was intended to provide a sustainable food source and economic opportunity for Native Alaskans. The report discusses the challenges and successes encountered during the early years of the project, documenting the interactions between government officials, missionaries, and indigenous communities.

This historical document offers a unique perspective on the intersection of animal husbandry, government policy, and cultural exchange in the context of Alaskan history. It remains a significant resource for researchers and anyone interested in the history of Alaska, the reindeer industry, and the efforts to improve the lives of Alaska's native populations.
