Description

Within the 1990s, headlines about declining caribou populations grabbed international attention. Were caribou the canary Within the coal mine for climate change, or did declining numbers reflect overharvesting or failed attempts at scientific flora and fauna management? Grounded in community-primarily based research in northern Canada, a region in the leading edge of co-management efforts, these collected stories and essays bring to the fore the insights of the Inuvialuit, Gwich’in, and Sahtu, people for whom caribou stewardship has been an approach to life for centuries. In the end, this powerful book drives home the vital role that Indigenous knowledge should play in figuring out, and dealing with, our changing Arctic ecosystems.
