Identifying and Achieving Consensus on Health-Related Indicators of Climate Change in Nunavut
Indigenous peoples of the North are affected by climate change, and future changes in climate are likely to continue to pose serious challenges. Climate change and the resulting change in the environment and communities are believed to further compound existing health issues. There is considerable regional variation within the circumpolar world, and each area of the Canadian Arctic has its own unique environmental and societal characteristics. Th…

Folk Taxonomy and Mythology of Birds of Paradise in the New Guinea Highlands
Folk taxonomy and myth have conventionally been treated as disparate provinces of cultural meaning, the one dealing with culturally represented but concrete and objective realities of the natural world, the other with the fantasy world of symbolic cultural constructs.

Symbolisme du casoar et du porc dans les echanges rituels a partir d'une recherche sur le terrain chez les Maring de Papouasie-Nouvelle-Guinee| domestication des animaux et place du porc dans la cosmologie
Trade and Sociability
Analyses of material exchanges have concentrated on ceremonialized forms. Approaches to trade are poorly developed and are materialist and utilitarian. After presenting a distinction between prestations and trade based on actors' interpretations, this paper explores aspects of the sociable dimensions of Maring trade. While trade is indigenously defined as self-interested and pragmatic, it actually has the capacity to express and construct social …
