Relations between human beings and their environment are in peril, with mounting threats to both biological diversity of life on earth and cultural diversity of human communities. The peoples of the Circumpolar Arctic are at the forefront of these challenges and lead the way in seeking meaningful responses." "In Biocultural Diversity and Indigenous Ways of Knowing, author Karim-Aly Kassam positions the Arctic and sub-Arctic as a homeland rather than simply a frontier for resource exploitation. Kassam aims to empirically and theoretically illustrate the synthesis between the cultural and biological, using human ecology as a conceptual and analytical lens. Drawing on research carried out in partnership with indigenous northern communities, three case studies illustrate that subsistence hunting and gathering are not relics of an earlier era, but rather remain essential to both cultural diversity and to human survival." "This book deals with contemporary issues such as climate change, indigenous knowledge, and the impact of natural resource extraction. It is a narrative of community-based research, in the service of the communities for the benefit of the communities. It provides resource-based industry, policy makers, and students with an alternative way of engaging indigenous communities and transforming our perspective on conservation of ecological and cultural diversity."--BOOK JACKET. 410 0$aNorthern lights series ;$v12. 606 $aHuman ecology$zArctic regions 606 $aIndigenous peoples$zArctic regions 606 $aSubsistence economy$zArctic regions$vCase studies 606 $aBiodiversity conservation$zArctic regions 606 $aCultural pluralism$zArctic regions 606 $aTraditional ecological knowledge$zArctic regions 610 $aAlaska. 610 $aIndigenous knowledge. 610 $aIndigenous peoples. 610 $aIndigenous research. 610 $aarctic homeland. 610 $aarctic. 610 $abiodiversity. 610 $acircumpolar arctic. 610 $aconservation. 610 $acultural and biological relation. 610 $acultural diversity. 610 $ahuman ecology. 610 $ahunting and gathering. 610 $anorthwest territories. 610 $arelationships between humans and the environment. 610 $aulukhaktok. 610 $awainwright. 615 0$aHuman ecology 615 0$aIndigenous peoples 615 0$aSubsistence economy 615 0$aBiodiversity conservation 615 0$aCultural pluralism 615 0$aTraditional ecological knowledge 676 $a304.20911/3 700 $aKassam$b Karim-Aly S.$f1964-$01658817 712 02$aArctic Institute of North America. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910808085603321 996 $aBiocultural diversity and Indigenous ways of knowing$94013080 997 $aUNINA
