Wolfe Wolfe and Associates 1332 Corte Lira San Marcos, CA 92069 [email protected] Abstract This study describes the social organization of the production and distribu- tion of wild food for subsistence in two Iñupiaq Eskimo communities in northwest Alaska, Wales and Deering. Researchers surveyed 42 of 50 oc- cupied households in Wales, and 37 of 44 occupied households in Deering. Kinship information was collected through key respondent interviews. Several hypothesis were tested: (1) that subsistence productivity was associated with household maturity, (2) that networks of households coop- erated to produce and distribute wild food, (3) that multi-household net- works were measurably distinct from one another, and (4) that member- ship in networks could be explained by kin relationships. A method to measure cooperative relationships among households was developed to analyze these questions. Survey data showed that in 1994 Wales produced an estimated 744 pounds of wild food per person per year, on the average, while Deering produced 672 pounds. As has been observed in other small Alaska communities, about 30 percent of the households accounted for 70 percent or more of the harvest, by weight. Households’ subsistence production tended to increase with the age of household heads and with household size, as predicted by a household development model. Households occupied by an active single man were the most productive type of household on a per capita basis. In both communities, households cooperated extensively in the produc- tion and distribution of wild foods. Cooperation among households was highly patterned, and households could be sorted into multi-household networks. Deering was found to be organized into six multi-household networks; Wales into eight networks. Two methods used to identify subsis- tence networks — hand-sorting instances of production and distribution, and clustering a matrix of Kendall’s Tau-B values – produced similar re- sults. Multi-household subsistence networks resembled traditional Iñupiaq “local family” groups described by Burch for the mid-19th century. View- ing production and distribution from the perspective of extended family networks helped explain variation in wild food production, and demon- strated the roles of different individuals and different social types of house- holds in the production and distribution system. In Wales and Deering in 1994, people were free to organize most wild food production and distribution in ways that were efficient, culturally ap- propriate, and personally satisfying. That freedom was not the result of informed management by government agencies, whose regulations favored individuals and households but disadvantaged extended family networks, but of Wales’ and Deering’s remote locations. In times of shortage, govern- ment agencies tended to adopt regulations that reorganized subsistence pro- duction and distribution, disrupted family networks, and reduced subsis- tence efficiency, but which may not have reduced actual harvests. i Table of Contents Abstract .................................................................................................. i List of Figures ......................................................................................iv List of Tables ...................................................................................... vii Acknowledgments ...............................................................................ix Introduction.......................................................................................... 1 Purpose ................................................................................................. 1 Research Questions .............................................................................. 2 Social Organization and Subsistence ................................................... 3 Presentation .......................................................................................... 5 Methods .................................................................................................. 7 Sample .................................................................................................. 7 Variables ............................................................................................... 8 Methods ................................................................................................ 8 Limitations and Assumptions ............................................................. 10 Data Analysis ..................................................................................... 11 The Setting .......................................................................................... 17 Overview ............................................................................................ 17 19th Century Iñupiaq Society ............................................................ 18 Northwest Alaska 1850-2000 ............................................................. 21 Sustainable Subsistence .................................................................... 26 Managing for Subsistence .................................................................. 30 The Study Communities ..................................................................... 35 Wales History ..................................................................................... 35 Deering History .................................................................................. 40 Wales and Deering in 1994 ................................................................ 42 Production by Individuals ................................................................ 47 Sample Characteristics ....................................................................... 47 Producer Characteristics..................................................................... 49 The Teacher Factor ............................................................................. 55 ii Production by Households ............................................................... 57 Subsistence Harvest Patterns .............................................................. 57 Household Development Model......................................................... 60 Subsistence Productivity Model......................................................... 60 Single-Person Households ................................................................. 64 Subsistence Networks in Wales ....................................................... 67 Network Identification ...................................................................... 67 Genealogy of Subsistence Networks .................................................. 74 Subsistence Networks In Deering ................................................... 77 Network Identification ....................................................................... 77 Genealogy of Subsistence Networks .................................................. 84 Characteristics of Subsistence Networks .................................... 87 Networks in Wales and Deering Compared ....................................... 87 Network Case Examples .................................................................... 95 Income and Subsistence Productivity ................................................ 99

  • On the Water Exchange Through Bering Strait1
    ON THE WATER EXCHANGE THROUGH BERING STRAIT1 L. K. Coachman and K. Aagawd Department of Oceanography, University of Washington, Seattle 98105 ABSTRACT A critique of current observations from Bering Strait through 1960 elucidates the gross features of the flow. There is no substantiating evidence for a net southerly flow ever occurring through Bering Strait into the Bering Sea in summer, although the current may on occasion be southerly near Cape Dezhneva and Cape Prince of Wales. During 5-7 August 1964, the most intensive survey to date of the oceanographic condi- tions and currents was made from the USCGC Northwind. Hydrographic conditions and currents in 1964 were typical of Bering Strait in summer. In the eastern channel of the strait, there was a pycnocline at lo-15 m, which was also a region of velocity shear; the surface water layer speeds were typically 50-100 cm/set, ancl the lower layer speeds less than 50 cm/set. While speeds in the western channel were more uniform, they varied widely with time (20-70 cm/set). The northward transport calculated from the Northwind data was 1.4 x 10’ m’/scc, with about one-half flowing through each channel. At least three types of speed fluctuations may be observed in Bering Strait: 1) short-term irregular fluctuations of lo-15 cm/set, probably related to turbulence; 2) regular fluctua- tions of as much as 50% of the mean speed, occurring at all depths and having a period of 12-13 hr (tidal or inertial); and 3) long-term fluctuations of as much as 1000/o, probably associated with major changes in the wind regime, the atmospheric pressure distribution over the Bering or Chukchi seas, or both.
