 Tracking Down Kad'yak: National Register of Historic Places
The National Register considers an eligible place to be one that may be associated with events that have made a great contribution to broad patterns in American history.
It also looks to see if the place in question is associated with significant historical figures, if it includes distinctive characteristics of a certain period or has high artistic value, or if it gives--or will give--important historical information.
In being added to the National Register, Kad'yak, therefore, has not only been judged significant by underwater archaeologists and Russian historians, but it has also been deemed to be of national importance.
