Request for Proposals

ALUTIIQ/SUGPIAQ DIGITAL PLACE NAMES MAP

There are hundreds of Alutiiq names for the settlements, waterways, and landforms of the Kodiak Archipelago.  These names hold valuable information about Alutiiq history, land use, and traditions. To share them, the museum is creating an interactive digital map for its website. This project is generously supported by the Native Village of Afognak and the US Bureau of Indian Affairs.

The museum seeks a web technician to create the digital map. The technician will design and build the map, integrate it into the museum’s website, and provide staff training on adding to the map. This work will be completed between March and September of 2025, with text, audio, and image files provided by the museum. See the RFP linked below for project details and directions on submitting a proposal. Please contact Dehrich Chya, 844-425-8844 with questions.

Proposals are due by 4:00 pm Alaska time, on January 31, 2025.

Internships

Each year we receive many requests from students and professionals interested in broadening their experiences with an internship. While the Alutiiq Museum occasionally has paid internships, we are pleased to work with volunteer interns. If you have an idea for an internship or would like to speak to a staff member about current projects that might be available for an intern, please contact Molly Odell, 844-425-8844.

Keelin Rice designed an internship in partnership with museum staff. A grant from her university paid expenses while she volunteered her time to care for collections and research her family history.

The Old Harbor Native Corporation funded an internship at the Alutiiq Museum and awarded it to Ally Lake. Ally learned all about museum outreach greeting visitors, helping in the store, and working on education projects.
