Every modern Yup’ik person probably has an ancestor from Nunalleq, a 400-year-old site near Quinhagak, Alaska, that has yielded over 100,000 artifacts. However, Nunalleq sustained major damage in October 2025 from the remnants of Typhoon Halong. These pen and watercolor images are being sold by Quinhagak Heritage, Inc. to support the on-going rescue and conservation of priceless artifacts. Recovering these artifacts upholds a culture that thrived for thousands of years in a very demanding environment and is now reclaiming its heritage. “Almost everything we know about pre-contact Yup’ik culture comes from that site . . . it is basically the library of the past,” says lead archaeologist Richard Knecht.
