Paper Abstract: This paper is divided into two sections. The first section discusses the peoples of the Kodiak Archipelago since the Late Holocene to present day compared to those of the Canadian Arctic. The second part discusses biogeography, defining it and discussing how it is affected over time because of changes in climate and ecology.
