摘要

The Shared Beringian Heritage Program has been fortunate enough to have had a sustained source of funds to support community based projects and research since its creation in 1991. Presidents George H.W. Bush and Mikhail Gorbachev expanded their cooperation in the field of environmental protection and the study of global change to create the Shared Beringian Heritage Program. The Bering Strait area shares many significant natural and cultural resources. The purpose of our program is to recognize and celebrate these resources that Russia and the United States have in common and to sustain the cultural heritage of Native peoples throughout the region. In support of these goals, annual funding for the Beringia Program is currently committed to a variety of projects that involve scientists, government officials, teachers and youth from the United States and Russia, especially local communities and Native people across the Bering Strait region. Since 1991, the Shared Beringian Heritage Program has funded over 130 projects, with 12-20 active projects each year. They range from 1-3 years in duration. The program is dedicated to contributing in all areas of research, whether it's bio-sampling of Grey & Bowhead Whales in Chukotka or facilitating an exchange of Shishmaref and Uelen ivory carving traditions. Recent projects have included work on marine mammals, sea ice patterns, reindeer herding, archaeology, and documentation of local traditions, language, and culture.
