Return to Index History & History Related Items Venetie history: This area was first known as Old Robert's Village or sometimes as Chandalar Village. Venetie, itself, was founded in 1895 by Old Robert. He found the area to have plentiful game and fish which would make it a good place for a home. In the early years, the population spent winters here in cabins and the rest of the year moving about for food. When the gold rush hit this area around 1906, many miners came to seek their fortunres. Several small camps and villages sprang up to support them. Once the rush was over, about 1910, these other areas were basically abandoned. The Venetie Indian Reservation was created in 1943 as several small villages, Venetie included, banded together to protect their land. During this same period a school was opened in Venetie causing more to settle in town year-round. When the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act was passed in 1971, both Venetie and ARctic Village took title to the land in the former reservation.
