The professional career of Dr. Douglas Veltre spans a 45-year period of dedication to Aleutian anthropology, beginning with a mutual field experience on Umnak Island in 1971, and continuing to the present day. That career has utilized a combination of techniques deriving from archaeology (both precontact and postcontact), as well as from ethnohistory, oral history, and ethnography, to achieve a deeper understanding of the relationship of the Unangax̂ (Aleut) and their ancestors to the north Pacific environment of the Aleutian and Pribilof Islands. In the process, he has not only greatly expanded our knowledge about the history of human occupation of these islands, but has linked that history to the contemporary people, survivors of 8,000 years of environmental challenges, of impacts of 18th–19th century colonialism, and of more recent cultural transformations.

道格拉斯·维尔特（Douglas W.Veltre）：阿留申人类学的一生

Douglas Veltre博士的职业生涯跨越45年，致力于阿留申人类学，始于1971年在Umnak岛上的共同现场经验，一直持续到今天。该职业结合了考古学（接触前和接触后）以及民族史，口述历史和人种志方面的技术组合，以加深对Unangax̂（Aleut）及其祖先与北方之间关系的了解。阿留申群岛和普里比洛夫群岛的太平洋环境。在此过程中，他不仅大大扩展了我们对这些岛屿人类占领历史的了解，而且将这一历史与当代人联系在一起，当代人是8000年环境挑战的幸存者，18-19世纪殖民主义的影响，
