Aboriginal Tourism as Sustainable Social-Environmental Enterprise (SSEE): A Tlingit Case Study from Southeast Alaska. The International Indigenous Policy Journal, 6(4). DOI: 10.18584/iipj.2015.6.4.8 Aboriginal Tourism as Sustainable Social-Environmental Enterprise (SSEE): A Tlingit Case Study from Southeast Alaska Abstract The Tlingit Aboriginal tourism enterprise named Icy Strait Point in Hoonah, Southeast Alaska is used as a case study to develop the new concept of Sustainable Social-Environmental Enterprise (SSEE). SSEE is defined as an innovative enterprise that has dynamic operational strategies while still maintaining its corporate core values and integrating social, environmental, cultural, economic and political (SECEP) sustainabilities in its operations. The SSEE framework assesses enterprises according to five domains of sustainability: social, environmental, cultural, economic, and political. Applying this framework, we find that while social, economic, and cultural sustainability goals have been achieved in a relatively short time by the Aboriginal tourism enterprise in Hoonah, the political and environmental spheres of sustainability are constrained by the dominant influence of the multinational cruise ship industry over tourism development. Thus, for an emerging tourism enterprise to be sustainable, we suggest each of these livelihood dimensions needs to achieve "a safe operating space" that is adaptable over time and to changing social and environmental circumstances.

  • The Rukai People and Collaborative Conservation in Pingtung, Taiwan
    ASSERTING SOVEREIGNTY THROUGH STRATEGIC ACCOMMODATION: THE RUKAI PEOPLE AND COLLABORATIVE CONSERVATION IN PINGTUNG, TAIWAN By Ying-Jen Lin A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Anthropology—Doctor of Philosophy 2020 ABSTRACT ASSERTING SOVEREIGNTY THROUGH STRATEGIC ACCOMMODATION: RUKAI PEOPLE AND COLLABORATIVE CONSERVATION IN PINGTUNG, TAIWAN By Ying-Jen Lin This dissertation examines how the Rukai, an Indigenous people of Taiwan, have engaged in community-based ecotourism and the state’s conservation projects in order to assert Indigenous sovereignty over traditional territories. This study focuses on the Adiri and the Labuwan communities, which are communities of the Rukai people living in the Wutai Township in Pingtung, Taiwan. The two Rukai communities have actively collaborated with the government on various conservation projects although the relationship between Indigenous peoples of Taiwan and the settler state’s forest governance system has been riddled with conflicts. Existing research has portrayed collaborative environmental governance either as an instrument for co-optation of Indigenous interests or as a catalyst for a more equitable relationship between the state and Indigenous peoples. This dissertation builds on and extends this body of work by examining how the Rukai people have continueD to assert sovereignty in the community-based ecotourism and collaborative conservation projects.

  • MEDIATION AS a PRACTICE of IDENTITY Jewish-Israeli Immigrant Guides in the Christian Holy Land
    MEDIATION AS A PRACTICE OF IDENTITY Jewish-Israeli Immigrant Guides in the Christian Holy Land Jackie Feldman, Ben Gurion University of the Negev The performances of the Holy Land for Christian pilgrims by Jewish-Israeli immigrant guides are an expression of belonging to place and history. Through auto-ethnography of my guiding performance and career path interviews with other immigrant guides, I illustrate how scriptural knowledge, mastery of Hebrew, and the invention of “biblical” rites of hospitality mediate between Christian pilgrims and the land, as well as between Christians and Jews. These performances not only make pilgrims co-producers of the tour; they also assert guides’ claims to nativity. I then compare the performances of such guides with Alaskan cruise guides. I show how the submission or resistance to the commodifying tourist gaze varies under different gazes, different power condi- tions, and given other “native” practices of asserting identity and belonging. Keywords: tour guide, identity, performance, Holy Land, Judaism Introduction: Tour Guides as tors of experience. In the case of Christian pilgrims Mediators of Experience to the Holy Land, the transmission of empathy and The introduction to this special issue outlines sev- understanding through the selection of and emotive eral of the mediatory functions of tour guides.
