Arctic Peoples, Culture, Resilience and Caribou
收藏资源简介：
The three-year program is comprised of twelve projects in Nunavut, Northwest Territories, the Yukon, Nunavik and Nunatsiavut. Most projects are community-based case studies (Aklavik, Tutoyaktuk, and Deline) which allow for indepth collaboration and inquiry. Another group of projects allows researchers to learn about cross cutting themes of resilience relevant to all communities in ACRC regions of Nunavut, Yukon and Northwest Territories. A third group of projects is aimed at synthesizing and compiling data gathered from the project in ways that will enable partners to meaningfully interpret and communicate the knowledge and experience of northern communities dealing with caribou population variability and decline. The perspectives of northern communities on environmental change vary significantly by region; while some communities have significant knowledge and capacity to deal with variability and change in resources such as caribou, others have had limited experience, knowledge and skills for coping, mitigating or adapting to change. Even within communities, the perspectives can be diverse depending on such variables as: income and education, age, gender, knowledge/experience in land-based activities, social networks (for knowledge and resource sharing), and role in governance (e.g., representation on co-management boards). ACRC has engaged with Inuit, Dene and Gwich'in communities from Nunavut, Northwest Territories and Yukon. Multiple methods from archival to oral history research, individual interviews to large format workshops, desktop to on-the-land activities have provided researchers with opportunities to learn about resilience from caribou hunters (men and women), community leaders, resource managers, elders, adults and youth from more than nineteen arctic and subarctic communities.
本三年项目共包含12个落地项目，分布于努纳武特（Nunavut）、西北地区（Northwest Territories）、育空地区（Yukon）、努纳维克（Nunavik）及努纳齐亚福特（Nunatsiavut）。多数项目为以社区为基础的案例研究（阿克拉维克（Aklavik）、图托亚克图克（Tutoyaktuk）与德林（Deline）），可开展深度协作与调研。另一类项目旨在帮助研究者了解与努纳武特、育空地区及西北地区ACRC区域内所有社区相关的韧性跨领域主题。第三类项目旨在整合并汇编从前述项目中获取的数据，以便合作方能够切实解读并传播北部社区应对驯鹿（caribou）种群波动与衰减的相关认知与实践经验。北部社区对环境变化的认知因区域差异而显著不同：部分社区拥有应对驯鹿等资源波动与变化的充足认知与能力，而另一些社区在应对、缓解或适应变化方面的经验、认知与技能相对匮乏。即便在同一社区内部，认知也会因多种变量呈现多样性，包括收入与教育水平、年龄、性别、陆地活动相关的认知与经验、用于知识与资源共享的社会网络，以及治理角色（如联合管理委员会代表身份）。ACRC已与来自努纳武特、西北地区及育空地区的因纽特（Inuit）、迪内（Dene）及古威钦（Gwich'in）社区开展合作。本次研究采用多种研究方法，涵盖从档案研究到口述史调研、从个人访谈到大型工作坊、从桌面研究到实地陆地活动，使研究者得以从19余个北极与亚北极社区的驯鹿猎手（男女猎手）、社区领袖、资源管理者、长者、成年人及青年群体处获取关于韧性的相关认知。
