Interview and focus group data on intergenerational resilience in Aklavik, NWT, 2009

Conduct case study research on resilience. The intention for the project was to understand how communities are ensuring their health and wellbeing in the face of social and ecological changes. The aim of the research was to understand how resilience was defined in Gwich'in and Inuvialuit cultures; explore pre-existing variables as measures to resilience with youth, adults, and elders; and learn what changes in the community and on the land different generations consider to be negative and positive for them.

本研究围绕韧性（resilience）开展案例研究。本项目的研究初衷为探究社区在面临社会与生态变迁时，如何保障自身的健康与福祉。本研究的核心目标包括：厘清古奇廷（Gwich'in）族与因努伊特（Inuvialuit）文化中对韧性的定义；针对青年、成年及老年群体，探索可作为韧性衡量指标的既有变量；并了解不同代际群体认为社区与土地发生的哪些变化对自身而言具有积极或消极影响。
