United Caribou Association of the Nunamiut (UCAN) hopes to emulate the Alaska Eskimo Whaling Commission in a way that secures a first right of refusal over sport hunters and others. What UCAN proposes by its presence are negotiated restrictions to ensure subsistence taking of caribou by residents of Anaktuvuk Pass. Because the caribou of three Arctic herds are unrestrained and transient, and a shared resource of the State of Alaska, the State Board of Game views the caribou as a shared resource to be used by all citizens of the State of Alaska. The framers of UCAN want to ensure that the State Board of Game, sport hunters, and others know that the people of Anaktuvuk Pass are concerned about their food security. -

Using interview datafrom the 1997Survey of College Students Social Attitudes and the 1998 Detroit Area Study, we document the prevalence of four story lines and two types of testimonies among whites. -

The Naming of Birds by Nunamiut Eskimo
THE NAMING OF BIRDS BY NUNAMIUT ESKIMO Laurence Irving* T IS rare for people of two different cultures to have as good an opportunity of comparingtheir knowledge as Simon Paneakand I had when I was learningI the Nunamiut Eskimo names for birds in the Anaktuvuk Pass region, interiorarctic Alaska. The scientific list of birds of that regionwhich I prepared provided me with a check on the completeness and accuracy of the Eskimo method of naming part of the local environment. Our relations were sufficiently close and prolonged so that we could both ascertain that we were designating the same birds by our Eskimo and English names. The English names of birds used in this study have been modified by convention of scientists to express taxonomic designations, and they are in no sense popular names. The Nunamiut names are those used by a small group of people to indicate birds in their environment.Having no knowledge of natural history in times or places outside their own small community’s exper- ience, weshould not seek in theNunamiut names forthe implications of scientific taxonomy. The Eskimo preserves hisnames withoutwriting or museum to serve his memory. We who depend upon written records marvel at the persistence of stable knowledge which can be fixed in oral records, but we should recall that a large degree of stability is inherent in speech. Anaktuvuk Pass leads approximately north and south through the centre of the BrooksRange. About onehundred miles north of thearctic circle thesouthern border of these mountains extends from the Yukon Territory to the western arctic coast of Alaska. -
The Evolution of Inuvialuit Identity in the Modern
inuvialuit rising: the evolution of inuvialuit identity in the modern era Natasha Lyons Department of Archaeology, Simon Fraser University, 8888 University Drive, Burnaby, BC V5A 1S6, Canada; [email protected] abstract The Inuvialuit of the western Canadian Arctic were recognized by the government of Canada as the traditional owners and formal stewards of their territory by the Inuvialuit Final Agreement of 1984. During the pursuit of this claim, its progenitors replaced the Western term ‘Mackenzie Inuit’ with the Inuvialuktun term ‘Inuvialuit’ as the collective identifier of the seven or eight traditional groups of the Mackenzie/Beaufort region. The relationships between these groups, and their notions of collectiv- ity, have a rich and complex history. This paper traces the evolution of Inuvialuit social and cultural identity from precontact times through the modern era. The primary focus, however, is on the forces and influences that have helped to shape contemporary Inuvialuit culture, society, and identity in the twentieth century. keywords: Inuvialuit, identity, community-based research, land claims, Mackenzie River The Inuvialuit are the Inuit of the western Canadian Arctic. in exploring the forces and influences that have helped They have lived along the lower reaches of the Mackenzie to shape the Inuvialuit as a group and how these have River and adjacent coastlines bordering the Beaufort Sea changed over the course of contact history.

THE ANAKTUVUK PASS KAYAK PROJECT Angela Linn
RE-COVERING IT: THE ANAKTUVUK PASS KAYAK PROJECT Angela Linn University of Alaska Museum of the North, 907 Yukon Drive, Fairbanks, AK 99775-6960. [email protected] Abstract: This paper describes a co-operative project undertaken by the University of Alaska Museum of the North (UAMN) in Fairbanks, the Simon Paneak Memorial Museum in Anaktuvuk Pass, and the community of Anaktuvuk Pass. The aim is to re-cover a Nunamiut kayak (qayaq) in the UAMN collection. Here, I describe the history of the kayak and that of the current project, the individuals involved, and the project goals. As a collections manager, I also consider some of the ethical issues of “fixing” ethno- graphic museum objects.
