Frederica de Laguna and her reunion under Mount Saint Elias

Article Abstract:

Archeologist Frederica de Laguna is an outstanding professional who made so many invaluable contributions both as teacher and scholar that a research project was created to capture and document her career and the sites she investigated nationwide through a career that began nearly 70 years ago roughly in the 1920s. A 1996 reunion with the northern Tlingit inhabitants of the village of Yakutat near Mt St Elias in Alaska, whom she had conducted research on beginning in 1949, serves as the starting point of the documentation of de Laguna's career.
