Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A legally empowered equitable co-management system of the Kuskokwim River salmon fishery between subsistence users and state and federal managers does not exist. Despite federal legislation Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA) (Section 8) calling for a "meaningful role" for subsistence users in managing fish and game on federal lands, some rural subsistence users believe that they have yet to assume a "meaningful role" in the policy-making process. The absolute maximum capacity that subsistence users can fulfill in terms of participating in the management of the resources they depend on comes in the form of one of many advisory boards. Ultimately, management regimes and policymakers do not have to consider advisory council member recommendations, suggestions and/or group proposals. On the Kuskokwim River, the decline of king salmon, perceived mismanagement, general mistrust of management agencies, inter-river conflict, and lack of authority and accountability felt by local users, has prompted some subsistence salmon fishermen to press for a stronger role in salmon management. The United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the Kuskokwim River Inter Tribal Fish Commission (KRITFC) have developed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) pertaining to the management of the fishery. The Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADFG) has not entered into negotiations with the KRITFC and United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) regarding management. This thesis explores the history of the Kuskokwim salmon fishery and options available to Alaska Native subsistence salmon users who seek an equitable role in managing the fishery.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Over the last decade, cooperative management has emerged as the dominant strategy in Northern regions for resolving resource conflicts and building partnerships in conservation and management between local users and government agencies. This dissertation examines the evolution and performance of several co-management systems governing wildlife in Western and Northwestern Alaska. The aim of this dissertation is to provide a better understanding of the evolution and performance of these joint management institutions by situating them within an analysis of social origins of resource conflict, local repertoires of resistance and contested claims to wild lands and wildlife. This research draws on political ecology as a conceptual framework which focuses attention on the linkages between local resource use patterns and micro-politics, on the one hand, and the larger economic and political institutions and forces that significantly shape those patterns, on the other. The first study, set in the Kotzebue Sound region of Northwest Alaska, examines: 1) the nature and causes of social conflict between Inupiat Eskimo hunters and government managers in the region, and 2) the potential for a nascent co-management regime both to mitigate these conflicts and to provide for more effective and equitable management of the Western Arctic Caribou Herd. In the second case study, I analyze the emergence of new joint management institutions for managing caribou and brown bear developed by agency managers and Yupík Eskimo communities in Western Alaska. After examining the historical the historical origins of resource conflicts which preceded co-management, I discuss how the emergence of new institutional arrangements alters existing power relationships and property regimes in both formal and informal arenas. The final case examines the performance of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta Goose Management Plan, established between government agencies and thirty-five Yupík Eskimo communities in Western Alaska. Analysis focuses on explicating the pattern of resistance and cooperation that emerges in response to the implementation of agency conservation programs in the region, with special attention to the responses of communities adjacent to prime waterfowl migration and nesting habitat"--Leaves ii-iii.

Download or read book They Came But Could Not Conquer written by Diane J. Purvis and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2024-05 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the environmental justice movement slowly builds momentum, Diane J. Purvis highlights the work of Indigenous peoples in Alaska’s small rural villages, who have faced incredible odds throughout history yet have built political clout fueled by vigorous common cause in defense of their homes and livelihood. Starting with the transition from Russian to American occupation of Alaska, Alaska Natives have battled with oil and gas corporations; fought against U.S. plans to explode thermonuclear bombs on the edge of Native villages; litigated against political plans to flood Native homes; sought recompense for the Exxon Valdez oil spill disaster; and struggled against the federal government’s fishing restrictions that altered Native paths for subsistence. In They Came but Could Not Conquer Purvis presents twelve environmental crises that occurred when isolated villages were threatened by a governmental monolith or big business. In each, Native peoples rallied together to protect their land, waters, resources, and a way of life against the bulldozer of unwanted, often dangerous alterations labeled as progress. In this gripping narrative Purvis shares the inspiring stories of those who possessed little influence over big business and regulations yet were able to protect their traditional lands and waterways anyway.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goals of the second volume of the AHDR – Arctic Human Development Report: Regional Processes and Global Linkages – are to provide an update to the first AHDR (2004) in terms of an assessment of the state of Arctic human development; to highlight the major trends and changes unfolding related to the various issues and thematic areas of human development in the Arctic over the past decade; and, based on this assessment, to identify policy relevant conclusions and key gaps in knowledge, new and emerging Arctic success stories. The production of AHDR-II on the tenth anniversary of the first AHDR makes it possible to move beyond the baseline assessment to make valuable comparisons and contrasts across a decade of persistent and rapid change in the North. It addresses critical issues and emerging challenges in Arctic living conditions, quality of life in the North, global change impacts and adaptation, and Indigenous livelihoods. The assessment contributes to our understanding of the interplay and consequences of physical and social change processes affecting Arctic residents’ quality of life, at both the regional and global scales. It shows that the Arctic is not a homogenous region. Impacts of globalization and environmental change differ within and between regions, between Indigenous and non-Indigenous northerners, between genders and along other axes.
