Subsistence Whaling: Past History and Contemporary Issues
Climate change, oil and gas development, and Inupiat whaling in northwest Alaska
Relationships between human beings and whales vary temporally and spatially. The Inupiat in northwest Alaska have historically formed a social relationship with bowhead whales, which they hunt for their subsistence. Whaling still occupies a core position in the lives of the majority of the coastal Inupiat and is related to their other activities although their culture has diversified and changed. Using actor-network theory from a political econom…
Homeless Inuit in Montreal
Migration of the Inuit into southern Canadian cities from the Arctic increased substantially during the 1980s. Approximately 10,000 out of a total of 50,000 Inuit lived outside the Canadian Arctic regions in 2006. As the number of urban Inuit is increasing, so too is that of homeless Inuit in large southern cities. It is estimated that there are more than 90 homeless Inuit in Montreal, which has an Inuit population of about 800. This paper descri…

Les Inuit urbains
Les regions arctiques de l'Amerique du Nord et du Groenland sont habitees par des etres humains depuis 4000 ans. A partir du 19e siecle, ceux-ci ont eu des contacts de plus en plus frequents avec les Europeens, puis, vers les annees 1960, tous les peuples inuit, autrefois nomades, ont adopte un mode de vie sedentaire. Au cours des annees 1960 et 1970, les etudes anthropologiques sur les Inuit se sont concentrees surtout sur les activites de subsi…

Inuit identities in Montreal, Canada
As Dorais (1994) has indicated, the distinction between the concepts of cultural and ethnic identities are important for us to understand the identities of contemporary Canadian Inuit Although the Inuit themselves do not distinguish between these identities, I consider them to be useful analytical concepts. I argue that cultural identity is a tool for an Inuk to live with his fellow Inuit in daily life and that ethnic identity is a political tool…
A New Typology of Food-Sharing Practices among Hunter-Gatherers, with a Special Focus on Inuit Examples
This article first examines several anthropological studies to illustrate some substantial limitations of the concepts of "reciprocity" and "exchange" as applied to food sharing among hunter-gatherer societies. I then propose a new typology of food sharing for identification, classification, description, and comparison. The new typology includes nine types of sharing: giving based on rules, voluntary giving, demand giving, exchange based on rules…
