Respect the land : pathways to resource stewardship and resiliency in a changing Arctic
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- The Arctic is warming at a rapid rate, much faster than anywhere else on the planet, with profound consequences for social-ecological systems. Changes in the availability and abundance of plants and animals are affecting Indigenous (specifically, Alaska Native) harvesters' access to wild foods for subsistence and cultural uses. Access, while influenced by landscape change, may also be constrained or facilitated by Western systems of resource management. This dissertation centers on Indigenous harvesters' access to, and stewardship of, wild foods—federally designated as subsistence—on National Parklands in northwest Arctic Alaska. The overarching motivational questions of this dissertation are 'How does climate-related warming in the Arctic affect Indigenous harvesters' access to coastal subsistence resources?' and 'How can examining multiple perspectives—Indigenous harvesters and management staff—on resource management better facilitate resiliency and stewardship?' Chapter One focuses on the human access dimension of climate impacts on coastal resources in northwestern Arctic Alaska and resulting implications for food sovereignty and resilience of Alaska Native communities. Chapter Two applies a film-based community engagement approach (Community Voice Method) to illustrate how Indigenous values and knowledge guide subsistence hunting and harvesting practices. Chapter Three provides a broader look at subsistence management in Alaska National Parklands from harvester and National Park Service (NPS) staff members' perspectives.
