| Title: Conservation Hunting |
| Sub-title: People and Wildlife in Canada's North |
| Edited by: Milton M.R. Freeman, Robert J. Hudson, A. Lee Foote |
| ISBN10-13: 1896445357 : 9781896445359 |
| Conservation hunting holds promise for improving the conditions of rural communities, wildlife and habitat. This is the report of an international conference titled People, Wildlife and Hunting: Emerging Conservation Paradigms that was held in Edmonton, Alberta in October 2004. The conference brought together people sharing a common involvement or interest in conservation hunting, an outgrowth of recreational hunting, that recognizes the significant contribution that hunting can make to social and ecological well being. This report focuses attention more particularly (but not exclusively) upon community-based conservation-hunting programs operating in the Canadian North. Conference participants included hunters, outfitters, community representatives, wildlife managers, researchers and conservationists from across Canada and from overseas. The goal of the conference was to explore the relationship linking trophy hunting, wildlife conservation, and community sustainability in rural areas. Recognizing the importance of hunting to large-mammal management and to community economies in many rural areas of Canada, and especially in the Canadian North, the Canadian Circumpolar Institute (CCI) and the Alberta cooperative Conservation Research Unit (ACCRU) at the University of Alberta organized the People, Wildlife and Hunting Conference to foster greater awareness and understanding of this useful conservation tool.

| Title: Currents of Change |
| Sub-title: The Future of Polar Information |
| Edited by: Sandy Campbell, Elaine L. Maloney |
| ISBN10-13: 1896445535 : 9781896445533 |
| PLC 2008 (Currents of Change: the Future of Polar Information) and the 2008 University of the Arctic Council Meeting (Currents of Change: Advancing Polar Information and Knowledge Transfer) ran simultaneously. There are many currents moving through the polar regions. Physical currents are changing the landscape. Cultural and linguistic currents are always changing, ebbing, flowing, adapting. The University of the Arctic is a current of change in post secondary education in the Arctic, and there is a strong current of information flowing among the members of the PLC. For this meeting, the currents of the Colloquy and the UArctic meeting flowed together, sometimes taking different channels. Some keynotes, social and cultural events were held together. The intent was that through this exchange, administrators of the Arctic post secondary institutions and polar librarians would come to know each other and the flow of information within and among the two organizations would be strengthened. The PLC program was packed with the latest information from the polar community. There was a half-day dedicated to information related to the International Polar Year and another panel on information needs within the University of the Arctic.

| Title: Evenki Economy in the Central Siberian Taiga at the Turn of the 20th Century |
| Sub-title: Principles of Land Use |
| Edited by: Mikhail G. Turov, Andrzej W. Weber, Hugh G. McKenzie, Ksenia Maryniak |
| ISBN10-13: 1896445500 : 9781896445502 |
| Evenkis comprise the largest ethnos among the 'numerically small' peoples of Siberia. They are unique in having been the only people that historically inhabited an enormous territory from the Yeniseu to the Pacific shore in longitude and from the forest-tundra line to the southern borders of the taiga in latitude. This volume describes the economic principles that characterize the dynamics and main forms of interaction between Evenki hunting groups and the environment, and ultimately to identify subsistence strategies employed within the inhabited territories. Its innovation entails both in putting new ethnographic material into scholarly circulation and in the freshness of the research objective--to examine the traditional economy of the Evenkis in a cultural-ecological context, considering it as a relatively closed system within their ethnic hunting and gathering culture. |

| Title: Gender, Culture, and Northern Fisheries |
| Edited by: Joanna Kafarowski |
| ISBN10-13: 1896445462 : 9781896445465 |
| Fishing often makes an important contribution to food security in northern regions, where agriculture is impossible or marginal at best, as well as providing important occupational and economic diversification in small and often remote communities. In such locations the high cost and often low nutritional value of imported foods can be offset by fishing, hunting and gathering activities that contribute significantly to peoples' socio-economic circumstances and health. In some societies, fishing is regarded as women's work, but in far more cases it is considered to be men's work. The conventional recognition of the primary role of men in fish harvesting often results in men's knowledge being the principal (or only) source of important local knowledge considered by fisheries' managers and decision-makers. The resulting under-representation of women's knowledge may compromise the quality of management decision-making, suggesting the desirability of including knowledge obtained by women more especially during the processing and food-preparation phases of product use. This book provides the reader with a current accounting of the generally under-recognized role of women in a variety of northern subsistence and industrial fisheries, both aboriginal and non-aboriginal, rural- and urban-based, in Alaska, Arctic Canada, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. The authors draw attention to the need for a more critical understanding of the emphasis often placed on hunting and associated male dominance in food production in northern societies. Whereas the representation of men as hunters (and fishers) and women as gatherers and food-preparers is all too commonly encountered in the literature, this collection argues that fishing as an activity may be much more ambiguous and nuanced than previously considered, and increasingly so as modernization further alters customary social roles and attitudes. Today (and almost certainly continuing into the future), the occupational opportunities available to more highly-educated rural residents offer a wider range of choices with respect to work, place of residence, and lifestyle, suggesting that it is unwise to seek to predict how the changing roles of women in fisheries will appear in the future. This volume tests a number of assumptions and prior conclusions in respect to gender and fisheries, and indeed, of gender relations more generally, and in so doing provides useful information and insights that inform current understandings of these northern societies and social identities, as well as very likely stimulating future research.

| Title: Indigenous Ways to the Present |
| Sub-title: Native Whaling in the Western Arctic |
| Edited by: Allen P. McCartney |
| ISBN10-13: 189644525X : 9781896445250 |
| The traditional pursuit of whales by Eskimo hunters remains an area in which humans articulate directly with natural processes. To present-day urban dwellers, such direct relations between people, wild animals, and the environment may seem exotic but they continue to be important pursuits for many Iñupiat and Yupik peoples. This volume traces regional Native whaling practices from approximately 2,000 years to the present. Contributions center on three themes: variations in whaling, Yupik and Iñupiat whaling traditions over time, and interactions with changing environmental conditions that include major climatic episodes as well as shorter fluctuations. Western Arctic Native whaling has never been a uniform practice. By calling attention to local, flexible adaptations, this volume distinguishes between common approaches and how societies lived in real time and space. Papers by: Allen P. McCartney and Roger K.

| Title: Inuit, Polar Bears, and Sustainable Use |
| Sub-title: Local, National and International Perspectives |
| Edited by: Milton M.R. Freeman, A. Lee Foote Preface by: Mary May Simpson |
| ISBN10-13: 1896445454 : 9781896445458 |
| This book addresses four particular aspects of polar bear conservation, namely (1) the practice of conservation hunting of polar bears, (2) Inuit understanding of polar bears and their changing habitat, (3) public perceptions of polar bears and climate changes that appear to influence polar bear management decisions, and (4) analysis of existing polar bear management and governance programs. The aim of this book is to contribute to culturally-inclusive, equitable an effective wildlife conservation and management in the Northern regions - and by extension, in other regions where indigenous systems of co-existing with wildlife also struggle to work with positivistic science-based assessments of conservation needs. Given the diverse world views, perspectives and agendas of all those seeking to influence conservation of the iconic polar bear, it is impossible in a single book to provide a comprehensive treatment of the management problems Inuit residents of the Canadian Arctic and their government co-management partners face at the present time. Consequently what is presented in this volume are the generally under-reported perspectives of Arctic residents that reflect an experiential understanding of events taking place in the region, and of some others whose views also augment assessments being used to develop polar bear conservation initiatives.

"This book provides an excellent review of the sustainability of polar bear hunting in the Arctic and its cultural, social, and economic context. This book is scientific and rich in data and fact... It is a sustained and reasoned critique of the listing of the polar bear as endangered, and a defence of both subsistence and guided hunting. Its data will be widely valued." -- William M. Adams -- études/Inuit/Studies, 20110901
