In the late 20th century, new transportation and communication technologies introduced radically new value systems; while some of these changes may be seen as socially beneficial, others suggest a weakening of what was once a strong and vibrant Native community. Using quantitative and qualitative data gathered since the turn of the millennium, this volume offers an interdisciplinary evaluation of the developments that have occurred in the community over the past several decades.Gwich'in IndiansSocial conditionsAlaskaArctic VillageGwich'in IndiansEthnic identityArctic Village (Alaska)Economic conditionsArctic Village (Alaska)Environmental conditionsalaska.american history.anthropology.arctic village council.arctic village.bush villages.changing climate.climate change.communication.community.culture.demography studies.demography.economic changes.engaging.gwichin natives.history.interdisciplinary evaluation.native american demography studies.native community.rural areas.social changes.social issues.social science.sociology.transportation.value systems.vibrant native community.villages.Gwich'in IndiansSocial conditionsGwich'in IndiansEthnic identity.305.897/20798Dinero Steven C.998387MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910798696303321Living on thin ice3837976UNINA
