Book excerpt: "The first Beluga Summit was held in Inuvik, Northwest Territories, on February 23-25, 2016. This significant engagement event brought together government scientists, co-management partners, academics, and Inuvialuit community members to share knowledge and discuss future research priorities for the Eastern Beaufort Sea beluga population. The summit was jointly organized by Fisheries and Oceans Canada, the Fisheries Joint Management Committee and the Inuvialuit Game Council, with full engagement in program planning from Inuvialuit Hunters and Trappers Committees. The summit was structured around three major themes: (1) community knowledge, (2) scientific research, and (3) beluga management. Multiple formats were used to share information during the event, including oral presentations, breakout groups, poster sessions, a cultural evening, and roundtable discussions. Knowledge was shared and connections were strengthened between the diverse groups working on beluga research, monitoring and management, and new research priorities and collaborations emerged. The value of the summit was recognized by participants and there was interest from co-management groups as well as other attendees in holding similar events on a five year cycle. The success of the summit was largely due to the collaborative approach adopted amongst co-management partners to design an event that incorporated a variety of perspectives, and to the active participation and high level of engagement from all attendees"--Abstract, page ix.

Book excerpt: "For over 30 years these studies have successfully blended traditional knowledge and western science and increased our understanding of the numbers, life history and health of beuga whales in the Beaufort Sea. The program has yielded an Inuvialuit Beluga Management Plan, hundreds of scientific papers, worldwide respect, and successfully achieved the intent of the third key principle of the Inuvialuit Final Agreement "To protect and preserve Arctic wildlife, environment, and biological productivity". ... I am confident that this spirit of cooperation will continue through our Beluga summit and create guidance for the coming years as we strive to improve our knowledge and understanding of beluga in the ISR. ... Introductory remarks: The Beluga Summit is bringing together researchers, harvesters, Elders, youth and resource managers for the sharing of knowledge about beluga whales. During this three-day gathering, researchers and community members will have the chance to present their knowledge about belugas. Together, we will identify common concerns and knowledge gaps in beluga research and monitoring to help direct future beluga whale research in the ISR. The Steering Committee developed the format and content of the Beluga Summit in collaboration with community delegates, HTCS and researchers to ensure that the meeting would meet the following goals: -Share knowledge on beluga whales; -Summarize our current state of knowledge; -Develop a plan for research and management of beluga whales for the next 5 to 10 years; -Support the preparation of a publication that will assist management of beluga in the ISR. Community representatives will be full participants at the meeting and are there to learn from others as well as share their knowledge and perspectives. The three broad areas of sharing from a community perspective include cultural practices (e.g. sharing, hunting/food preparations), knowledge about beluga whales and the ecosystem (e.g. noting changes in belugas and the ecosystem) and perspectives on future research and monitoring (e.g. what is needed or what should be adjusted to increase our knowledge on beluga whales). Scientists and research advisors from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO), Health Canada, Northern Contaminants Program, Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami, Canadian universities and research institutes are travelling to Inuvik to share knowledge with community members and resource managers. Researchers studying beluga ecology and physiology, human health, contaminants, disease and Traditional Ecological Knowledge will present their research, learn about Inuvialuit knowledge and perspectives, and contribute to discussions about future research and monitoring. Managers and staff from the co-management boards, DFO, Inuvialuit Regional Corporation and the Alaska Beluga Whale Committee will contribute a regional, national and international perspective to beluga management concerns. They will also have the opportunity to hear directly from community delegates and scientists studying and living in the ISR. The Summit provides an important opportunity for beluga knowledge-holders to come together, bring their knowledge together to bring us to our current understanding of belugas in the context of environmental change. We hope this event fosters communication and collaboration among the many knowledge holders engaged in beluga whale harvesting, monitoring and research on beluga whales. We are excited for your participation in the development of a future plan for beluga in the ISR!"--ASTIS database.

This book was released on 2020-07-15 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lifeways in Southwest Alaska today remains inextricably bound to the seasonal cycles of sea and land. Community members continue to hunt, fish, and make products from the life found in the rivers and sea. Based on a wealth of oral histories collected over decades of research, this book explores the ancestral relationship between Yup’ik people and the natural world of Southwest Alaska. Nunakun-gguq Ciutengqertut studies the overlapping lives of the Yup’ik with native plants, animals, and birds, and traces how these relationships transform as more Yup’ik people relocate to urban areas and with the changing environment. The book is presented in bilingual format, with facing-page translations, and will be hailed as a milestone work in the anthropological study of contemporary Alaska.

Download or read book Research with Arctic Inuit Communities written by Tristan Pearce and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-08-26 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book shares graduate student experiences, lessons, and life learnings from research with Inuit communities in the Canadian Arctic. The results of graduate student research are often disseminated in a thesis or dissertation, but their personal experiences building relationships with Inuit, working together to design and conduct research, and how this shaped their research approach and outcomes, are rarely captured. As such, there are limited resources available to new researchers that share information about the practical aspects of community-based research in the Arctic. The book is intended to provide a glimpse into what it is like to do research together with Inuit, and in doing so, contribute to the development of more productive and equitable relationships between Inuit and researchers. The chapters are written as structured narratives in the first-person and include reflections, and lessons learned.

Download or read book The Last Superpower Summits written by Svetlana Savranskaya and published by Central European University Press. This book was released on 2016-11-01 with total page 1080 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book publishes for the first time in print every word the American and Soviet leaders – Ronald Reagan, Mikhail Gorbachev, and George H.W. Bush – said to each other in their superpower summits from 1985 to 1991. Obtained by the authors through the Freedom of Information Act in the U.S., from the Gorbachev Foundation and the State Archive of the Russian Federation in Moscow, and from the personal donation of Anatoly Chernyaev, these previously Top Secret verbatim transcripts combine with key declassified preparatory and after-action documents from both sides to create a unique interactive documentary record of these historic highest-level talks – the conversations that ended the Cold War. The summits fueled a process of learning on both sides, as the authors argue in contextual essays on each summit and detailed headnotes on each document. Geneva 1985 and Reykjavik 1986 reduced Moscow's sense of threat and unleashed Reagan's inner abolitionist. Malta 1989 and Washington 1990 helped dampen any superpower sparks that might have flown in a time of revolutionary change in Eastern Europe, set off by Gorbachev and by Eastern Europeans (Solidarity, dissidents, reform Communists). The high level and scope of the dialogue between these world leaders was unprecedented, and is likely never to be repeated.
