34 Alaskan Science Conference 



library, museum and other sources of material that might other- 

 wise be overlooked should be compiled. The committee would 

 also assist in the coordination of studies for the rest of Alaska 

 and the Northwest Coast. Though this paper has been pri- 

 marily concerned with the Indians of southeastern Alaska, the 

 area from Cook Inlet to northern California should be included 

 in the plan. 



An integrated plan of research would reveal many concrete 

 problems for students to investigate, either individually or in 

 cooperating teams. The Northwest Coast is quite as rewarding 

 an area as others in the United States and deserves the same 

 careful consideration and coordinated attack from social sci- 

 entists as it has received from scientists in other fields.
