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 community of Sitka. During February and March 2014, eligible households in Sitka answered questions about their harvest and use of fish, wildlife, and wild plants in 2013. During the 2013 study year, Sitka residents used a large variety of resources, harvested throughout much of Baranof Island, including salmon and other fish, marine invertebrates, large land mammals, marine mammals, and wild plants and berries, as well small land mammals, migratory waterfowl, and upland game birds. The total estimated harvest of wild foods for Sitka in 2013 was 1,377,571 usable pounds (175 lb per capita), slightly less than the previous harvest estimate but likely not a significant difference. Results indicate that the use, harvest, and sharing of wild resources remain important to the community. Funding for the study was provided through the Alaska State Legislature as one component of an overall index community program, the purpose of which is to develop and implement a program to monitor subsistence harvests of fish and wildlife in all areas of the state through a system of index communities. The project was conducted collaboratively by research staff of the Division of Subsistence, Alaska Department of Fish and Game, and the Sitka Tribe of Alaska.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report summarizes the results of research conducted on the 2012 harvests and uses of wild foods by 5 communities in Southeast Alaska. Between January and April 2013, eligible households in Haines, Hoonah, Angoon, Whale Pass, and Hydaburg answered questions about their harvest and use of fish, wildlife, and wild plants in 2012. During the 2012 study year, most households of the study communities relied on wild resources--obtained through sharing, hunting, fishing, or wild food gathering--for nutrition and to support their way of life. Total estimated harvests of wild foods for the 5 study communities were: 260,034 usable pounds (135 lb per capita) in Haines, 251,365 usable pounds (343 lb per capita) in Hoonah, 62,416 usable pounds (183 lb per capita) in Angoon, 13,656 usable pounds (247 lb per capita) in Whale Pass, and 176,310 usable pounds (531 lb per capita) in Hydaburg. Results indicate that the use, harvest, and sharing of wild resources remains important to these Southeast Alaska communities, despite changing demographics. Estimated harvests appear to have slightly decreased in Haines, Hoonah, and Angoon and slightly increased in Whale Pass and Hydaburg, but none of the differences are likely significant. Funding for the study was provided through the Alaska State Legislature as one component of an overall index community program, the purpose of which is to develop and implement a program to monitor subsistence harvests of fish and wildlife in all areas of the state through a system of index communities.

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 summarizes the harvest and use of wild foods by Hughes, Alaska residents in the calendar year 2014. Objectives of this project were to quantify the amount of resources harvested by residents of Hughes, document lands used to search for and harvest resources, quantify the amount of individual participation in the subsistence economy, and collect comments and concerns relevant to subsistence in Hughes. This information is important for effectively managing fish and wildlife on state and federal lands and for fully providing for the subsistence priority as required by the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act. The last comprehensive resource use information was collected in 1982, and much has changed since then. This study was a collaborative effort between Alaska Department of Fish and Game, National Park Service, and Hughes Village Council. Results presented in this publication were collected using standard anthropological methods, including a structured household survey and key respondent interviews. Household participation in this project was voluntary; surveys and interviews were conducted under provision of anonymity. Results presented in this report are presented as community aggregates of household activities. Of the 35 permanent households in Hughes, 26 participated in this effort (77%). Almost every household (96%) reported using wild resources. Residents used a total of 54 different resources. The community per capita harvest was 360 lb per person. The results of this project avouch the continuing prominence of wild resource uses in Hughes, Alaska.

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.

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.
