In memory of Tagish ABSTRACT Recently documented ice patch sites in the southwest Yukon are ideal for evaluating precontact hunter-gatherer land-use patterns in the western subarctic. Located in the alpine of the mountainous regions of the boreal forest, ice patches are associated with well preserved hunting equipment, caribou (Rangifer tarandus) dung and an abundance of faunal remains dating to over 8000 years ago. However, current models are inadequate for explaining caribou hunting at ice patches as they tend to emphasize large-scale communal hunts associated with latitudinal movements of caribou. Much less is known about the alititudinal movment of caribou and the associated hunting forays to ice patches in the alpine. -

Seventh Ave., Suite 1310, Anchorage, AK 99501-3565; [email protected] Randolph M. Tedor Office of History and Archaeology, Alaska Department of Natural Resources J. David McMahan Office of History and Archaeology, Alaska Department of Natural Resources ABSTRACT The Alaska Office of History and Archaeology conducted ice patch surveys in the Denali Highway re- gion of central Alaska for three seasons. Prehistoric organic and lithic hunting artifacts and fauna had melted from the ice patches and were subsequently recovered. These items include arrow shafts, barbed antler points, lithic projectile points, and what is likely a stick for setting ground squirrel snares. Or- ganic artifacts recovered from this survey date within the last thousand years. Lithic projectile points recovered from ice patches suggest that prehistoric hunters have been hunting caribou on ice patches in the Denali Highway region for at least the last half of the Holocene. keywords: atlatl, bow and arrow, gopher stick, mountain archaeology INTRODUCTION Ice patches with caribou (Rangifer tarandus) dung and cul- al. 2005; Hare et al. 2004a, Hare et al. 2004b).

Indigenous Water Governance, Ontologies, and the Politics Of

The Author(s) 2018 Indigenous water Reprints and permissions: sagepub.co.uk/journalsPermissions.nav governance, ontologies, DOI: 10.1177/2514848618789378 and the politics of kinship journals.sagepub.com/home/ene on the ground Nicole J Wilson University of British Columbia, Canada Jody Inkster University of Alberta/Yukon College, Canada Abstract Indigenous peoples often view water as a living entity or a relative, to which they have a sacred responsibility. Such a perspective frequently conflicts with settler societies’ view of water as a ‘‘resource’’ that can be owned, managed, and exploited. Although rarely articulated explicitly, water conflicts are rooted in ontological differences between Indigenous and settler views of water. Furthermore, the unequal water governance landscape created by settler colonialism has perpetuated the suppression of Indigenous ways of conceptualizing water. This paper thus examines the ‘‘political ontology’’ of water by drawing on insights from the fields of critical Indigenous studies, post-humanism, and water governance. Additionally, we engage a case study of four Yukon First Nations (Carcross/Tagish, Kluane, Tr’onde¨kHwe¨ch’in, and White River First Nations) in the Canadian North to examine their water ontologies through the lens of a politics of kinship including ideas about ‘‘respecting water.’’ We also examine the assumptions of settler- colonial water governance in the territory, shaped by modern land claims and self-government agreements. We close by discussing the implications of Indigenous water ontologies for alternate modes of governing water. Keywords Indigenous law, indigenous water governance, ontological politics, Yukon First Nations, Yukon, Canada Introduction We respect not only the water we utilize, we respect the land around it because it feeds into the water. -
