The Smithsonian Institution's Arctic Studies Center at the National Museum of Natural History, in collaboration with Russian Far Eastern Museums from Sakhalin, Kamchatka, Vladivostok, Khabarovsk, and Magadan, the University of Alaska Museum in Fairbanks, the Alaska State Museum in Juneau, and the National Park Service, has produced a traveling exhibition designed for citites and rural communities in Alaska entitled “Crossroads Alaska” (1993–1995), after the larger “Crossroads of Continents” exhibition (1988–1992), which was too large to be seen in all but one museum in Alaska, and was unable to travel to Russia. This smaller exhibition of over 300 Alaskan and Siberian artifacts of small to moderate size focuses on prehistoric, traditional, and modern cultures of the NOrth Pacigic. “Cross Roads Alaska: illustrates cultural achievements which flourished for more than 15,000 years in this part of the world. The cultures represented include on the Alaskan side: Inupiaq, Yupik, Aleut, Alutiiq, Athapaskan, and Northwest Coast peoples; and on the Russian Far-Eastern side: Amur River peoples, Ainu, Koryak, Even, Evenk, Chukchi, Yukaghir, and Asian Esjkimo. The exhibition, under the title “Crossroads Siberia”, is planned to travel to Russia starting late in 1995.
