<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">We aim to develop a more complete understanding of the ancient Alaska Native use of Pacific herring (<i>Clupea pallasi</i>) to better assess the historical abundance, biogeography
and genetic diversity of herring in the past. Herring bone samples from 17 archaeological sites in Alaska spanning over 10,000 cal BP have been tested. Ancient DNA recovery has been high, but technical challenges limit what we can say about genetic population
structure at this time. Preliminary evaluation as to how the Alaska samples relate to others in British Columbia, Washington State, and the northwestern Pacific will be presented. The results should have implications for fisheries policy and practices, Alaska
Native subsistence rights, and herring conservation. <o:p></o:p></p>
