Anchorage Memorial Park Cemetery - Whale jawbones

Anchorage Memorial Park Cemetery

Traditional native Alaskan whale jawbone structure. There is a simple grave at the foot of the jawbones with the inscription "Charles Achayok 1907 - 1960", but it wasn't clear to me whether the structure is meant to honor Mr Achayok.
