The trend toward shorter snow cover season, loss of sea ice, and other changes in the Arctic affect traditional activities, such as hunting, and access to certain food sources. “The two most important parts of our food security were the availability of the animals and the hunter’s ability to hunt. Over the past hundred years, this has changed.” —Maggie Emudluk, Vice-President, Kativik Regional Government, Canada7 Note: Confidence ratings were applied as available in the cited source literature. * Climate change also affects how contaminants cycle within the Arctic,8 but this issue is beyond the scope of this information brief. 4 Arctic Council Protection of the Arctic Marine Environment Sea Ice Loss Driver Availability Accessibility Sea ice extent has shown Loss of biodiversity in sea Sea ice is becoming less decreasing trends in all ice habitats appears to be stable as its extent and months and virtually all linked to the decline of sea thickness decrease, regions of the Arctic (very ice, although observations increasing ice-related likely).4, 10 Arctic sea ice also show that some hazards, such as greater extent will continue to species traditionally wave action.13 Some decline in all months of the associated with open water northern communities year (high confidence).4 or warmer locations are have found it harder to expanding their ranges or obtain traditional foods are present during a longer due to the shorter snow portion of the year.9, 11 cover season, which affects Current trends indicate that travel to hunting grounds species reliant on sea ice as well as animal habitat. for reproduction, resting, The thinning of sea ice or foraging will experience and the lengthening melt range reductions as sea ice season also alter access to retreat occurs earlier and resources.13 the open water season is prolonged.12 In Qaanaaq (northwest Greenland), communities have reported that the spring hunt of walrus used to be mainly over the sea ice edge. However, with the reduction of sea ice, hunters here are increasingly using skiffs to hunt walruses resting on ice floes.14, 15 In the Bering-Chukchi- Beaufort region, hunters have reported that autumn open water conditions with high winds and waves and low visibility have become more common and are less in line with longstanding traditional skill sets and patterns.16 Indigenous Food Security in the Arctic: Implications of a Changing Ocean 5 Ocean Warming Driver Availability Accessibility Sea surface temperatures Many species are shifting Some species, such as are increasing over much northward as the Arctic belugas in Canada’s of the Arctic Ocean,4, 9 warms, with largely Hudson Bay, have shifted largely due to increased unknown consequences the timing of their absorption of solar for Arctic species and migration in response to radiation as a result of ecosystems.

  • Proto-Inuit Phonology
    * Proto-Inuit Phonology Doug Hitch Independent Scholar Proto-Inuit and the daughter dialects have two non-nasal, non- lateral consonant series, /p t c k q/ and /v ʐ j ɣ ʁ/. The distinctive feature separating these sets has been generally regarded as continuance but voicing is a better candidate. PI *c has been seen as affricate [ts] or [tʃ] but a voiceless palatal stop value [c] better explains the diachronic and synchronic data. PI *ʐ and modern /ʐ/ have received a wide range of phonetic characterizations but a voiced retroflex sibilant value [ʐ] best accounts for the historical and descriptive evidence. Some historical documents and modern descriptions are reassessed. Some suggestions are made for the reconstruction of PI. 1 Introduction The Inuit language family stretches from Big Diomede Island in the Bering Strait to the east coast of Greenland. Probably all of the many intervening dialects have been studied, and while the studies have varying degrees of depth, there is no doubt about the basic identity of the phonemic units for any dialect and there is much known about phonological and morphophonological patterning. With the numerous distinct dialects, and the existence of much historical documentation, the language area offers a rich field for historical linguistics and linguistic typology. In these pages much effort is made towards refining our phonetic understanding of the segments /c/ and /ʐ/ in both Proto-Inuit and the daughter dialects. This information has both diachronic and synchronic implications. It can simplify both descriptions and make them more natural. Also presented here is a fresh look at the distinctive feature specification of the consonants.

  • Module 1: Introduction
    CS 322 Peoples and Cultures of the Circumpolar World II Module 1 Introduction The BCS 322 course was developed between 2002 and 2007 by Heather Exner, Greg Poelzer, Tamara Andreyeva, Kristina Fagan, Heather Harris, Terry Wotherspoon, Nina Vasilieva, Zinaida Ivanova-Unarova, Sardana Boyakova, Liya Vinokurova, Hans-Jørgen Wallin Weihe, Vuokko Hirvonen and Yvon Csonka. Originally, the course included 13 modules. Because of the increasing developments in the Arctic, the BCS Committee decided in 2009 to revise the curriculum and bring these courses up to date. In spring 2013, Marit Sundet from The University of Nordland, as project leader and academic lead, in cooperation with Sander Goes; University of Nordland, Peter Haugseth; UiT – The Arctic University of Norway and Natalia Kukarenko; Northern (Arctic) Federal University named after M.V. Lomonosov, reviewed, edited, rewrote and consolidated the original curriculum into 5 modules. The modules were reviewed by Irina Kaznina; Northern (Arctic) Federal University named after M.V. Lomonosov in spring 2014. Final reviewer, Diddy Hitchins, Professor Emerita, University of Alaska Anchorage.
