A Legacy across Two Continents
This article explores the history of two ethnological collections from the Russian Far East at the National Museum of Natural History (NMNH), Smithsonian Institution, as a part of an ongoing multistep assessment process. Both collections, currently known under the names of their respective donors/collectors, Stanisław Poniatowski and Vladimir Arseniev, were shipped to the then‐U.S. National Museum in Washington in 1918, following the 1914 field t…

Resilience Through Knowledge Co-Production
Confronted with the complex environmental crises of the Anthropocene, scientists have moved towards an interdisciplinary approach to address challenges that are both social and ecological. Several arenas are now calling for co-production of new transdisciplinary knowledge by combining Indigenous knowledge and science. This book revisits epistemological debates on the notion of co-production and assesses the relevant methods, principles and values…
Resilience Through Knowledge Co-Production
Faces We Remember
This paper addresses the issue of difference in the depth of visual memory among the Chukotka (Siberian) and St. Lawrence Island Yupik people based on several projects in heritage documentation between 1999 and 2019. Using historical photographs from museum collections and assessing how well (and how fully) Yupik Elders are able to recognize individuals and local details in various sets of historical photos roughly between 1895 and 1970, we may t…

Siberian Yupik Names for Birds
This article analyzes the list of Siberian Yupik names for birds from Chukotka, Russia, from the unpublished "Dictionary of Traditional Subsistence Terminology of the Asiatic Yupik Eskimo" (n.d., [2010]), produced by the late Russian biologist Lyudmila Bogoslovskaya and Yupik language expert Lyudmila Ainana. It compares Bogoslovskaya and Ainana's list against other lists of Indigenous bird names compiled in Chukotka and among the nearby Native Al…

How many Eskimo words for ice?’ Collecting Inuit sea ice terminologies in the International Polar Year 2007–2008
Inuit knowledge of the sea ice environment has been praised by generations of early explorers, arctic travellers, natural scientists, anthropologists, and popular writers. Surprisingly little has been done to systematically document and analyze the richness of the Inuit sea ice nomenclatures until quite recently. This article reviews the history of Inuit (Eskimo) sea ice terminology collection, including efforts undertaken in 2005–2009 for the In…

International Polar Year (IPY) 2007 -08 covers critical steps in the IPY planning and implementation process during the last 18 months (from January 2005 to July 2006). Unlike the earlier statements and preliminary outlines for the IPY (e.g., ICSU, 2004; NRC, 2004; The proposals were evaluated and endorsed by the JC as IPY "initiatives" in three rounds between June 2005 and January 2006.

"The end of "Eskimo land
Fifty years ago, in summer 1958, Russian authorities started a program of massive relocation of the Yupik population on the Chukchi Peninsula, Siberia. About 800 people, or roughly 70% of the small nation of 1,100 at that time, were forced to leave their home sites and were moved to other communities. Some basic facts related to the Yupik relocations of the 1950s have been known since the 1960s; but no first-hand narratives of the displaced peopl…

"When our words are put to paper." Heritage documentation and reversing knowledge shift in the Bering Strait region
The paper examines the relationship between indigenous knowledge and heritage documentation efforts generated by scientists and other forms of local activities that work in strengthening indigenous cultural identity and tradition. As the studies in indigenous heritage and environmental knowledge have become one of the fastest-growing fields in northern cultural research, there is tough competition for limited resources and, even more, for the tim…
