Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report provides updated information about the harvests and uses of fish, wildlife, and wild plant resources by the communities of Akhiok, Old Harbor, and Larsen Bay. During February 2019, researchers surveyed households about uses and harvests of wild resources in 2018. Through these household surveys, researchers 1) estimated annual harvests and uses of wild fish, wildlife, and wild plant resources in a 12-month study period by residents of the study communities; 2) mapped areas used for hunting, fishing, and gathering; 3) collected demographic and income information; and 4) evaluated trends in wild resource harvests. Researchers also identified particularly knowledgeable individuals in each community to conduct in-depth, semi-structured interviews with about subsistence harvesting practices, resource abundance patterns, and specific knowledge of the Olga and Akalura lakes systems. During the 2018 study year, most households in each of the study communities used and harvested wild resources for nutrition and to support their subsistence way of life. Residents of the three communities used in excess of 85 different types of resources, most of which were harvested within the land and waters surrounding the study communities. Salmon was the most harvested resource category in each community, followed by nonsalmon fish and large land mammals. Marine invertebrates, marine mammals, birds and eggs, and small land mammals also contributed to the overall subsistence harvests. Per capita harvests ranged from 239 lb in Larsen Bay to 370 lb in Akhiok and 579 lb in Old Harbor. The information collected during this project complements similar data collected in these communities spanning the past 40 years and will contribute to an understanding of contemporary subsistence patterns in Kodiak Island communities. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Office of Subsistence Management provided funding for this project. Division of Subsistence research staff carried out the project with support from the Alutiiq Tribe of Old Harbor, the Native Village of Akhiok, and the Native Village of Larsen Bay.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report provides detailed information about the harvests and uses of wild resources by residents of Kaltag, Alaska during 2018. Kaltag is a rural community located in Interior Alaska along the Yukon River; Kaltag residents are primarily of Koyukon Athabascan descent. Residents participate in a seasonal round of subsistence activities that is guided by both customary and traditional patterns of use and contemporary hunting and fishing regulations. Comprehensive household surveys were used to gather community-level information about demographics, income, food security, and the harvest of over 100 resources. This report presents harvest information, including maps of the areas used for subsistence, for the following eight resource categories: salmon, nonsalmon fish, large land mammals, small land mammals, birds and eggs, marine mammals, marine invertebrates, and vegetation. Local and traditional knowledge is also incorporated into the results and was collected through recorded ethnographic interviews with select community residents and through open-ended survey comments. Survey results highlight the importance of subsistence within the community. All households (100%) in Kaltag used wild resources, and 94% harvested wild resources themselves. Overall, Kaltag residents harvested 47,907 lb of wild food in 2018, amounting to 799 lb per household and 322 lb per capita. Although a wide variety of subsistence resources were utilized, moose and salmon contributed most of the total harvest by weight. Subsistence activities generally took place within the regional vicinity of the community and were heavily focused along the Yukon River corridor and in the Kaiyuh Flats. This comprehensive baseline information can be used in the future to compare if and how subsistence harvest and use patterns change over time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report details the results of a household survey administered for the study year 2018 for harvests and uses of wild resources by Port Heiden households, as well as community demographic and economic characteristics. Also, this report includes information from in-depth interviews conducted with key respondents, as well as insight from participant observation during salmon fishing and processing activities. Port Heiden is located on the north side of the Alaska Peninsula. During the 2018 study year, an estimated 100% of households used at least one type of wild resource, and approximately 93% of households harvested at least one type of wild resource. Overall, 30,789 lb, or 297 lb per capita, of wild resources were harvested in 2018. Salmon and large land mammals composed the largest portions of overall wild resource harvests. Salmon composed almost one-half (48%) of the total wild resource harvest weight in 2018; the total salmon harvest was 14,856 lb, or 143 lb per capita. Large land mammals composed 37% of the total wild resource harvest weight; the large land mammals total harvest weight was 11,511 lb, or 111 lb per capita. The project was funded by the Alaska Sustainable Salmon Fund (AKSSF). This information was collected by research staff of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game Division of Subsistence, with support from the Native Village of Port Heiden.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report summarizes the results of research conducted in March 2019 on the subsistence harvests and uses of wild foods in Buckland, AK for the 2018 study year. The comprehensive subsistence survey asked respondents about their harvest, sharing, and use of more than 75 species of fish, land mammals, marine mammals, marine invertebrates, birds, wild plants, and berries. The project also collected information on community demographics, income, and food security. Researchers mapped areas used by community residents for subsistence hunting, fishing, and gathering in a 12-month study period. Buckland is a primarily Iñupiat community with a reliance on caribou, fish, and marine mammal species. The last comprehensive survey was conducted in Buckland for the 2003 study year and subsistence harvests were remarkably similar between two studies conducted over 15 years apart. Despite some variation in harvest composition by resource category, per capita harvests in 2003 (553 lb of wild food per person) and 2018 (554 lb) were nearly identical.

Download or read book Oil Age Eskimos written by Joseph G. Jorgensen and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-11-10 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a book made especially timely by the disastrous Exxon Valdez oil spill in March 1989, Joseph Jorgensen analyzes the impact of Alaskan oil extraction on Eskimo society. The author investigated three communities representing three environments: Gambell (St. Lawrence Island, Bering Sea), Wainwright (North Slope, Chukchi Sea), and Unalakleet (Norton Sound). The Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act of 1971, which facilitated oil operations, dramatically altered the economic, social, and political organization of these villages and others like them. Although they have experienced little direct economic benefit from the oil economy, they have assumed many environmental risks posed by the industry. Jorgensen provides a detailed reminder that the Native villagers still depend on the harvest of naturally-occurring resources of the land and sea—birds, eggs, fish, plants, land mammals and sea mammals. Oil Age Eskimos should be read by all those interested in Native American societies and the policies that affect those societies.
