Question

What does anybody know about Bering island

Answer 1

Answer:The Bering Expedition Landing Site on Kayak Island in the Gulf of Alaska is the location of what many consider the first scientific investigation of Northwestern North America. Naturalist Georg W. Steller, a surgeon and naturalist, who accompanied Vitus Bering on the Great Northern Expedition (1733-1743) made the first attempts at contacts between Europeans and natives of Alaska. Steller’s journal entries, and his collections of natural specimens and cultural items, are among the first contributions to the West’s knowledge of the natural and human history of this area of the world.

Another important aspect of the Bering Expedition Landing site is that although the explorers saw no Alaska Natives when they landed, there were dwellings in the area and obvious signs of recent human activity. Steller’s collection of cultural items from around the landing site—the first of such collections from Alaska—is an example of the European colonial practice of taking various belongings of indigenous peoples without their consent. Kayak Island (Qe’yiłteh) is within the territories of Sugpiaq and Eyak people.
