Understanding regional variability in water, energy, and food (WEF) security
Arctic nations are among the most water, energy, and food (WEF) secure nations of the world. National indices can, however, mask intra-regional disparities that exist within nations. The variable conditions of remote and sparsely populated regions are at particular risk of being obscured through the aggregation of national-level reporting. In this paper, we present the results of a regional (N = 27) assessment of WEF security in six Arctic states…
Extractive Industry and the Sustainability of Canada's Arctic Communities
Modern treaties, increased self-government, new environmental assessment rules, co-management bodies, and increased recognition and respect of Indigenous rights make it possible for northern communities to exert some control over extractive industries. Whether these industries can increase the well-being and sustainability of Canada’s Arctic communities, however, is still open to question. Extractive Industry and the Sustainability of Canada’s Ar…
Consultative Councils in Chile
In 2001, the Chilean Government created Consultative Councils as part of their national park management strategy.Consultative Councils were designed with three objectives: 1) to generate opportunities for citizen participation with regards to the management, conservation and development of national parks and the surrounding communities; 2) to improve the abilities and opportunities for adjacent communities to protect their ways of living and be a…
Understanding the Nature of Country Food Sales among First Nations in Alberta, Canada
This research was motivated by increased tensions that had arisen within First Nations communities in the Peace River region of Alberta over the selling of country foods and the belief among some that it has incentivized excessive hunting and the abandonment of food-sharing traditions. Our results indicate that rather than having deleterious ecological and social effects, country food sales are not being driven by profitability, nor are the norms…
Understanding First Nations exposure and sensitivity to economic and ecological change in Canada
First Nations in Canada engage in a form of mixed economic production that includes the complementary integration of subsistence (eg hunting, fishing, gathering, sharing) and wage-earning sectors. The flexibility of mixed economies has long enabled First Nations to optimise the use and allocation of household assets (eg time, labour, income) during times of economic and ecological change. In this study, we relied on the disaggregation of househol…
Accounting for intracultural variability in first nation environmental knowledge
Non-timber forest products and village livelihoods in Rajasthan, India
This paper presents the results of research conducted between 2009 and 2014 in the village of Khanda Sharol in the state of Rajasthan, India. Our research objective was to determine how the livelihoods of village residents have been affected by the intensification of forest use, and the resulting loss of domestic access to traditionally used forest resources. Results indicate that changes in forest cover have resulted in a loss of livelihood opti…
Extractive industries and Indigenous subsistence economies
The relationship between Indigenous subsistence activities and extractive industries has been difficult to conceptualise. For many, the development of extractive industries in lands used by Indigenous peoples has a negative impact on traditional subsistence economies. Yet research on the relationship undertaken since the 1970s has often challenged this opinion. This article reviews the research on this question, discussing in particular new findi…
Ethical foundations and principles for collaborative research with Inuit and their governments
Academic research in Canada involving Aboriginal peoples has changed dramatically during the last 20 years. From an academic researcher's perspective, the changes have recently become formalised in the release of the 2nd edition of the Tri-Council Policy Statement on Ethics in Human Research. In this article we examine similarities and differences in the way ethical review is constructed and approached from university, Aboriginal and, in particul…
