Mt. Edgecumbe: A Legacy of Alaska Native Education Booklet
Sea Level authored the Mt. Edgecumbe: A Legacy of Alaska Native Education booklet pertaining to four Public Health Service (PHS) buildings on the Mt. Edgecumbe Medical Center Campus built by students at Mt. Edgecumbe Boarding School in the 1950s and 1960s. The houses, located on Tongass Drive on Japonski Island, Sitka, Alaska and utilized by the SouthEast Alaska Regional Health Consortium (SEARHC) as office buildings, represent the rebuilding efforts of Alaska and our nation post World War II. Simultaneously, new paradigms in attending to Alaska Native health and education needs, most impressively, are an example of an innovative and collaborative vocational learning experience. Together, the buildings are referred to as PHS Buildings on Tongass Drive Historic District. In their grouping, the buildings have been determined eligible for the National Register of Historic Places for their association with the tuberculosis epidemic and important developments in post-World War II building technology and educational programming. This publication reviews the history leading to what became the Mt. Edgecumbe Community and the intertwining of health, education, and community on a small island for the benefit of Alaska’s Native citizens. This research was conducted by Sea Level on behalf of Indian Health Service (IHS) and SEARHC, per regulatory stipulations between IHS and the Alaska State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO).
