I t is represented th at in these regions there is an abundan t growth of vegetation in the summer , wh ich forms nu tritious food for grazing an imals i n win ter as well a s summer . I t is estimated that there are at least a million squ are miles of such grazing f t oo ground s in Northern Canada . The winter climate o these areas is severe for - ox an d ord inary domestic cattle , bu t musk reindeer can graze there in the open al l the year round . The d imension s o f the reindeer indu stry in Lapland o f and in Siberia , and the great d evelopmen t the reindeer herd s of Alaska suggest that correspond ing developmen t can reasonably be an ticipated with is o u t respect to Northern Canada . In this connection it pointed that herd s of barren land caribou , aggregating , i t i s estimated , twenty or thi rty million C animals , frequent Northern anad a and that biologically , these animal s are practically iden tical with reindeer . - ox Vilhj almu r Stefansson , the Arctic explorer , i s convinced that the musk can be read ily domesticated and h as u rged that steps be taken in that con i n ect on . , with the obj ect of d eveloping herd s for commercial purposes The d evelopment of large reindeer and mu sk - ox herds in Northern Canad a wi ll represent a very important add ition to the meat production o f the Dominion . The developmen t of mu sk - ox herd s will represen t not only an add ition to th e meat production bu t also to the wool produ ction . The value and att ractiveness - ox of reind eer flesh for food p u rposes i s well establish ed . I n regard to musk meat , M r . Stefansson clai ms it is p ractically indistinguish able from beef . o f In all parts of the world , there is a constan t redu ction grazing areas u th rough the d evelopment of su ch areas for field crops , and , i n conseq ence , the meat and wool p roblems are every year becoming more acu te . — Th e Arctic and sub Arctic regions o f Canad a lie too far North to be included o f in the land su itable for the profitable cultivation cereals , and therefore may be regarded as permanen t grazing areas . In view of the foregoing , the M inister considers that there are good ground s for believing that the C anadian North may become a great permanent meat C and wool producing area , and that a ommission shou ld be appoin ted for the pu rpose o f making a thorough investigation into the subj ect from a bu siness and national standpoint , and to report thei r finding .

    The Sami and the Inupiat Finding common grounds in a new world SVF­3903 Kristine Nyborg Master of Philosophy in Visual Cultural Studies Faculty of Humanities, Social Sciences and Education Department of Archaeology and Social Anthropology University of Tromsø Spring 2010 2 Thank you To all my informants for helping me make this project happen and for taking me into your lives and sharing all your wonderful thoughts. I am extremely grateful you went on this journey with me. A special warm thanks to my main informant who took me in and guided the way. This would have been impossible without you, and your great spirits and laughter filled my thoughts as I was getting through this process. To supervisor, Bjørn Arntsen, for keeping me on track and being so supportive. And making a mean cup of latte. To National Park Service for helping me with housing. A special thanks to the Center for Sami Studies Strategy Fund for financial support. 3 Abstract This thesis is about the meeting of two indigenous cultures, the Sami and the Inupiat, on the Alaskan tundra more than a hundred years ago. The Sami were brought over by the U.S. government to train the Inupiat in reindeer herding. It is about their adjustment to each other and to the rapidly modernizing world they found themselves a part of, until the term indigenous became a part of everyday speech forty years ago. During this process they gained new identities while holding on to their indigenous ones, keeping a close tie to nature along the way.

  • Alaska Reindeer Herdsmen
    ALASKA REINDEER HERDSMEN ALASKA REINDEER HERDSMEN A Study of Native Management in Transition by Dean Francis Olson Institute of Social, Economic and Government Research University of Alaska College, Alaska 99701 SEG Report No. 22 December 1969 Price: $5.00 Dean F. Olson, an associate of the Institute of Social, Economic and Government Research, is a member of the Faculty of Business, Uni­ versity of Calgary, Calgary, Alberta, Canada. He received his OBA from the University of Washington in 1968. iv PREFACE Reindeer husbandry is a peculiarly circumpolar endeavor. Of the three million domesticated reindeer estimated to exist in the northernmost nations of the world, just over 1 per cent are found in North America. The Soviet Union possesses about 80 per cent, and the Fennoscandian countries contain more than 18 per cent. There are about 30,000 in western Alaska, and the Canadian government estimates that some 2,700 range the Mackenzie River basin. Domesticated reindeer are not indigenous to North America. They were first introduced to this continent in 1892, when they were brought to western Alaska from various Siberian locations. The Canadian government purchased their parent stock from an Alaska producer in 1935. In each case, the objectives for importation were to broaden the resource base of the Native populations and to provide a means for social and economic de­ velopment in remote areas. The present study examines the role of Alaska reindeer as a Native resource. More specifically, it concerns the historical role of the Alaska Eskimo reindeer herdsmen, and examines their functions as managers of a re­ source and as instruments for social and economic change among their people.

  • Between Empires and Frontiers Alaska Native Sovereignty and U.S. Settler Imperialism
    Between Empires and Frontiers Alaska Native Sovereignty and U.S. Settler Imperialism A Dissertation SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Jessica Arnett IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Jean M. O’Brien, Barbara Welke March, 2018 Copyright Jessica Arnett 2018 Acknowledgements My time in academia, first as an undergraduate, then an adjunct instructor, and finally as a graduate student, has spanned nearly two decades and involved numerous cross-country relocations. I cannot begin to assess the number of debts that I have accrued during this time, as friends, family members, devoted advisors, and colleagues supported the winding trajectory of my academic life. I am grateful for my committee and the years of insight and support they have provided for me as I developed my research questions and attempted to answer them. I am deeply indebted to my advisors, Jean O’Brien and Barbara Welke, who have tirelessly dedicated themselves to my project and have supported me through my many achievements and disappointments, both academic and personal. Jeani is an amazing historian who throughout my six years in Minnesota has continuously asked critical questions about my project that have triggered new ways of understanding what I was perceiving in the documentary record and how I eventually came to understand Alaska. Her immediate support and tireless enthusiasm for my radically different framing of Alaska’s relationship to the contiguous states and what that meant for Alaska Native sovereignty struggles encouraged me to continue theorizing settler imperialism and to have confidence that my research was not only worthwhile, but path breaking and relevant.

    The Power of Place: Ideology and Ecology in the Bering Strait, 1848-1988 By Bathsheba Rose Demuth A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Yuri Slezkine, Chair Professor Brian DeLay Professor Alexei Yurchak Summer 2016 Abstract The Power of Place: Ideology and Ecology in the Bering Strait, 1848-1988 by Bathsheba Rose Demuth Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Yuri Slezkine, Chair At the Bering Straits, Russia and Alaska share a common ecology: rolling tundra and icy mountains divided by the narrow ocean. Every living thing exists without plentiful solar energy, curtailing the productivity evident in temperate climates. Yet over the course of the long twentieth century, Russians and Americans were drawn north by its potential riches, from the energy in walrus blubber to the currency of gold. They stayed to make converts, fortunes, and states. This dissertation chronicles the environmental, political, economic and cultural revolutions that came in their wake. These revolutions map onto the distribution of energy in arctic space. Europeans began by harvesting whales, moved to hunting walrus on coasts, attempted to farm reindeer on land, sought gold underground, and finally returned to hunting whales at sea. Organized around these spaces, the following five chapters trace a narrative from the stateless meetings of indigenous Yupik, Inupiat, and Chukchi with commercial hunters, to the inception of national borders and ideas of citizenship, through to the region’s division along ideological lines.
