Its shape generates minimal wind resistance, and the kayak is highly responsive during turns. A tapered contour adds speed to a craft that is stable, comfortable and easy to paddle. For closer adjustment, thigh braces may be added as an option. Muktuk is an Inuit word for whale hide and fat. Eaten raw, muktuk is traditional Inuit food. Despite its rubbery consistency, the Inuit love its hazelnut taste.

Organochlorine Contaminants in the Country Food Diet of the Belcher Island Inuit, Northwest Territories, Canada
ARCTIC VOL. 46, NO. 1 (MARCH 1993) P. 42-48 0.rganochlorine Contaminants in the Country Food Diet of the Belcher Island Inuit, Northwest Territories, Canada MARJORIE CAMERON1s2 and I. MICHAEL WEIS1*3 (Received 19 August 1991; accepted in revised form 17 September 1992) ABSTRACT. An initial assessment ofthe country food diet at the Belcher Islands’ community of Sanikiluaq, NorthwestTerritories, was made by interviewing 16 families during May - July 1989. Estimates of consumptionper day were established over a two-week periodfor 10 of these families. This information was utilized along with previously published harvest datafor the community to estimate country food consumption ingramdday and kg/year. Beluga (Delphinapterusleucus), ringed seal (Phocu hispida), arctic cham (Sulvelinus alpinus), common eider (Somatenu mollissima) and Canada goose(Bruntu canudemis) were found to be important components in thediet during this period. Results of analysisfor organochlorine contaminants revealthat ringed seal fat and beluga muktuk (skin and layer) fat samples havethe highest concentrationof DDE and total PCBs among the country food species. Average DDE and total PCB valueswere 1504.6 pglkg and 1283.4 pgkg respectively in ringedseal fat and 184.3 pgkg and 144.7 pglkg respectively in beluga muktuk. Comparison of contaminants in seal fat indicates concentrations approximately two times higher in samples from the Belcher Islandsthan from sites in the Canadian WesternArctic, but lower than concentrations reported from various European sites. The daily consumption estimates ingramdday were used along withorganic contaminant analysisdata to calculate the estimated intakelevels of 0.22 pg/kg body weight/day of total DDT and 0.15 pg/kg body weighthay of total PCBs during the study period.

Climate Change and Cultural Survival in the Arctic: People of the Whales and Muktuk Politics
76 WEATHER, CLIMATE, AND SOCIETY VOLUME 3 Climate Change and Cultural Survival in the Arctic: People of the Whales and Muktuk Politics CHIE SAKAKIBARA Department of Geography and Planning, Appalachian State University, Boone, North Carolina (Manuscript received 9 November 2010, in ﬁnal form 7 June 2011) ABSTRACT This article explores the interface of climate change and society in a circumpolar context, particularly experienced among the In˜ upiaq people (In˜ upiat) of Arctic Alaska. The In˜ upiat call themselves the ‘‘People of the Whales,’’ and their physical and spiritual survival is based on their cultural relationship with bowhead whales. Historically the broader indigenous identity, spawned through their activism, has served to connect disparate communities and helped revitalize cultural traditions. Indigenous Arctic organizations such as the Inuit Circumpolar Conference (ICC) and the Alaska Eskimo Whaling Commission (AEWC) are currently building upon a strong success record of their past to confront the environmental problems of their future. Employing what the author calls muktuk politics—a culturally salient reference to the bowhead whale skin and the underlying blubber—the In˜ upiaq have revitalized their cultural identity by participating in in- ternational debates on climate change, whaling, and human rights. Currently, the ICC and the AEWC identify Arctic climate change and its impact on human rights as their most important topics. The In˜ upiat relationship with the land, ocean, and animals are affected by a number of elements including severe weather, climate and environmental changes, and globalization. To the In˜ upiat, their current problems are different than those of the past, but they also understand that as long as there are bowhead whales they can subsist and thrive, and this is their goal.

Subsistence Harvest of Bowhead Whales (Balaena Mysticetus) by Alaskan Eskimos During 2010
SC/63/BRG2 Subsistence harvest of bowhead whales (Balaena mysticetus) by Alaskan Eskimos during 2010 1Robert Suydam, 1John C. George, 1Brian Person, 1Cyd Hanns, and 2,3Gay Sheffield 1 Department of Wildlife Management, North Slope Borough, Box 69, Barrow, AK 99723 USA 2 Alaska Department of Fish and Game, Box 1148, Nome, AK 99762 USA 3Present Address: Northwest Campus-UAF, Marine Advisory Program, Box 400, Nome, AK 99762 USA Contact email: [email protected] ABSTRACT In 2010, 71 bowhead whales (Balaena mysticetus) were struck during the Alaskan subsistence hunt resulting in 45 animals landed. Total landed for 2010 was more than the average over the past 10 years (2000-2009: mean = 39.0; SD = 7.7). The efficiency (# landed / # struck) of the hunt was 63%, which is lower than the prior ten-year average during 2000-2009 (mean = 77%, SD = 7%). Spring hunts are logistically more difficult than autumn hunts because of severe environmental conditions and the sea ice dynamics. Typically, hunt efficiency during spring is lower than autumn. In 2010, the efficiency of the spring hunt (52%) was much lower than the autumn hunt (95%). This was due in part to difficult environmental conditions during spring, unanticipated equipment failures, and that four whales were not retrieved as they sank after they were killed. Bowheads typically float at death and it is not clear whether having a larger number of whales that sank is a signal that the oceanographic conditions or body condition of the whales is changing. Of the landed whales, 23 were females, 20 were males, and sex was not determined for two animals.

Human Health Implications of Omega-3 and Omega-6 Fatty Acids in Blubber of the Bowhead Whale (Balaena Mysticetus) JOHN E
ARCTIC VOL. 59, NO. 2 (JUNE 2006) P. 155– 164 Human Health Implications of Omega-3 and Omega-6 Fatty Acids in Blubber of the Bowhead Whale (Balaena mysticetus) JOHN E. REYNOLDS, III,1 DANA L. WETZEL1 and TODD M. O’HARA2 (Received 28 March 2005; accepted in revised form 26 August 2005) ABSTRACT. Concerns exist regarding the health and nutrition of subsistence-based communities in Alaska. An apparent increase in diabetes, heart disease, obesity, and other disease conditions among Alaska Natives has accompanied their change from a traditional diet to a more “Western” diet. In northern Alaska, the meat, maktak (epidermis and blubber), and other products of bowhead whales provide important components of Native diets. This study assessed the fatty acid constituents of bowhead whale blubber to evaluate their possible health benefits. Working with hunters in Barrow, Alaska, we acquired samples for chemical analysis from five blubber depths at each of six body locations. We used gas chromatography-mass spectrometry of fatty-acid picolinyl esters to confirm the fatty-acid composition of samples. Analyses indicated that bowhead blubber contains relatively high levels of omega-3 fatty acids and that, on average, blubber samples from sites at the umbilical girth contain more omega- 3 fatty acids than do samples from a girth 1 m caudal to the blowhole (roughly at the axillary girth). Omega-6 fatty acids were rare or undetectable in all samples. Omega-3 fatty acids have been suggested or shown to be important in the treatment or prevention of many diseases, including elevated blood pressure and cholesterol, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, arthritis, depression, and some cancers.

This paper studied existing community-based services for Iñupiaq elders in two rural communities and found no strong evidence to recommend that urban locations are better than rural locations as these individuals age. A total of 101 Iñupiaq elders over fifty years of age were surveyed: fifty-two in the rural villages of Buckland and Deering, and forty-nine in urban Anchorage. Traditional food customs support the nutritional health of the rural Iñupiaq elders as demonstrated by higher intakes of selected nutrients, stronger food-sharing networks, and higher participation in community harvest activities than reported by urban elders.
