Andrew Gronholdt (26 August 1915 – 13 March 1998) was a famous Aleut from Sand Point, Alaska in the Shumagin Islands south of the lower Alaska Peninsula and became famous for rejuvenating the ancient Unangan art of carving hunting hats called ''chagudax''. In January 2012, a book was published posthumously by Gronholdt titled "''Chagudax'': A Small Window into the Life of An Aleut Bentwood Hat Carver"〔 *Gronholdt, Andrew. 2012. "Chagudax: A Small Window into the Life of an Aleut Bentwood Hat Carver". San Francisco: Blurb, Inc.〕 Gronholdt's woodworking techniques, wood steaming and bending methods, and instructional design methodologies were legendary. == Early life == Andrew Gronholdt was born on August 26, 1915 in Sand Point on Popof Island in the Shumagin Islands. Gronholdt's father was (Niels Peter Gronholdt ) from Kerteminde, Denmark. Gronholdt's mother is (Anna Dushkin ), who was from a tiny Aleut village on the southside of the Alaska Peninsula named Belkofski, about a dozen miles north east of King Cove, Alaska. The ancient Unangan people lived at Belkofski for thousands of years, but the community was closed about 1980 when everyone moved out, mostly to King Cove. Andrew began attending elementary school in Belkofski and later completed grade school in Sand Point in the Shumagin Islands. Graduation from eighth grade at Sand Point School ended Andrew's formal education, but "his own desire to discover and explore schooled him for the rest of his life".〔Dye, Sharon. 2010. Personal conversations with Andrew Gronhold's daughter〕 On January 21, 1942 at Unga, Andrew married (Elisabeth Z. Rodgers ), the daughter of Frank Rodgers and Zenia Lois Larsen. They had one child, born in Seward. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Andrew Gronholdt」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
