Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In October 2011, 61 of 169 households in Selawik answered questions about their harvest and use of subsistence resources in the previous year. The comprehensive subsistence survey asked heads of households about their use, harvest, and sharing of 92 species of fish, land mammals, marine mammals, marine invertebrates, birds, wild plants and berries. Questions included how much was harvested, when, and where. The project also collected information on community demographics, income, food security, wild food networks, and customary trade. Researchers mapped the areas used by the Selawik residents for subsistence hunting, fishing, and gathering in the 12-month study period.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents a plan for a continuing harvest assessment program for subsistence hunting, fishing, and gathering for 11 rural communities (Ambler, Buckland, Deering, Kiana, Kivalina, Kobuk, Kotzebue, Noatak, Noorvik, Selawik, Shungnak) in Northwest Alaska. The program involves a cooperative group of state and federal agencies, tribes, communities, non-governmental organizations, and industries. The program provides a framework for subsistence harvest assessment through periodic household surveys, and seeks to integrate other subsistence-related studies whenever possible. The program was intended to be an evolution of, not a break from, previous harvest assessment efforts in Northwest Alaska.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents information about subsistence uses of fish, wildlife, and plant resources in 3 communities of Southwest Alaska: Aleknagik, Clark's Point, and Manokotak. The Alaska Department of Fish and Game Division of Subsistence conducted the project in collaboration with Stephen R. Braund & Associates as part of a multiyear, multiphase study in a region of Southwest Alaska being considered for the development of a large scale mine. The Pebble Project is a mineral deposit in an advanced exploration stage located near Frying Pan Lake, which is 125 miles northeast of the study community of Aleknagik. The Pebble Project required updated baseline information about subsistence harvests and uses. Information was collected through systematic household surveys and mapping interviews. Scoping meetings were held in each community to elicit ideas about research questions and to learn more about issues. After preliminary study findings were available, a second round of community meetings took place to review the results. In total, 104 households were interviewed, 60% of the year-round resident households. The study documented the continuing importance of subsistence hunting, fishing, and gathering to the study communities. Study community residents voiced concerns about the development of a mine and its impacts on water quality in and near their traditional subsistence harvest areas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents information about subsistence uses of fish, wildlife, and plant resources in Lime Village, Interior Alaska. This is the first harvest assessment survey for this community since a compilation of qualitative harvest data was completed in 1983. The Alaska Department of Fish and Game Division of Subsistence conducted the project in collaboration with Stephen R. Braund & Associates as part of a multiyear, multiphase study in a region of Southwest Alaska being considered for the development of a large scale mine. The Pebble Project is a mineral deposit in an advanced exploration stage located near Frying Pan Lake, which is 100 miles south of Lime Village. The Pebble Project requires updated baseline information about subsistence harvests and uses. Information was collected through systematic household surveys and mapping interviews conducted with the informed consent of the community. Also as part of the informed consent process, researchers presented preliminary project findings to the community for its review. In total, 7 households were interviewed, 64% of the year-round resident households. The project documented the continuing importance of subsistence hunting, fishing, and gathering to the residents of Lime Village. In 2007, every household participated in subsistence activities and used wild resources. Subsistence harvests are large and diverse.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents information about subsistence uses of fish, wildlife, and plant resources in Chistochina, which is located in Southcentral Alaska. The previous baseline harvest assessment studies in Chistochina took place in 1982 and 1987. The Alaska Department of Fish and Game Division of Subsistence conducted this project in collaboration with Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve as part of a multi-year study to update subsistence harvest information for communities in the Copper River Basin. Information on uses of wild resources was collected through systematic household surveys, which also included a mapping component. Surveys were conducted with the informed consent of the community and households. Also as a part of the informed consent process, researchers presented preliminary project findings to the community for review. In total, 27 households were interviewed, which represented 82% of year-round resident households. The project documented the continuing importance of subsistence hunting, fishing, and gathering to the residents of Chistochina. In 2009, every Chistochina household used wild resources and 96% households participated in subsistence harvest activities.

Book excerpt: Many Alaskans depend on family-centered harvests of wild fish, wildlife, and plants in what could be considered a home production model. State and federal laws provide priorities for these “subsistence uses,” a divisive political issue in Alaska. We explore Alaska's subsistence economies using community-level demographic, economic, and subsistence harvest estimates from more than 18,000 household surveys administered during 354 projects in 179 Alaska communities. Neither mean subsistence harvests nor mean incomes are significantly associated with time alone. But harvests are associated with time in multiple regression models that explain more than 60% of the variation in mean subsistence harvests per person at the community level. Propensity score matching finds that roads have significant, strong, and negative effects on subsistence harvests, but no significant effects on incomes. Results suggest that - given sustainably managed renewable resources and appropriate levels of exclusion - subsistence economies can co-exist with market economies.
