Enacting and renewing identity, kinship, and humanity on the sea ice
In communities across the Arctic, the formation and evolution of sea ice each year is accompanied by the practice of season- and environment-specific forms of hunting, travel, and leisure. On the dynamic and ephemeral ice, these practices are shaped by the relationships, movements, and actions of human and nonhuman actors, and are entwined in expressions of kinship, identity, and humanity. Based on extensive anthropological fieldwork undertaken i…

Daily Life of the Inuit, by Pamela R. Stern
on the problems of perception (of contemporary Inuit art) caused by ethnocentrism and how he feels that Canadians have overcome this problem through recognition of our mutual relationship to the land.Kudos to his optimism.Not having seen the exhibition, I don't know if the omissions in this book-the commentary on individual works and the relationship of the essays to the collection-will be rectified there.I believe, however, that an exhibition ca…

Making Sense of Contaminants: A Case Study of Arviat, Nunavut
Inuit and scientists are increasingly aware of the presence of contaminants in the Arctic food web and of the threat these contaminants pose to human and environmental health and well-being. The varied ways that Inuit think about and react to contaminants in the foods they eat are explored in a case study of one Inuit community: Arviat, on the northwest coast of Hudson Bay. Reactions to contaminants are mixed. While Inuit are informed of scientif…
Nunavik Inuit Perspectives on Beluga Whale Management in the Canadian Arctic
In the Arctic, there has long been a strong relationship between Inuit and beluga whales. As well as being considered sentient creatures, Inuit value these small white toothed whales for nutritional, economic, social, and cultural reasons. They are a staple food for many Inuit, and in the complex set of social activities that surround the hunting, butchering, and sharing of belugas, Inuit knowledge, skill, identity, and kinship are enacted and re…
More bears, less bears: Inuit and scientific perceptions of polar bear populations on the west coast of Hudson Bay
Inuit and scientific perceptions of polar bear populations are grounded in different epistemologies, relationships and interactions with polar bears. In many communities, the presence of polar bear hunting quotas has led to both external and internal conflicts. Inuit throughout Nunavut are seeing more polar bears in close proximity to their communities. Scientists argue that the increase in bear-human encounters is due to rapid environmental chan…
Sentient Beings and Wildlife Resources: Inuit, Beluga Whales and Management Regimes in the Canadian Arctic
From Placelessness to Place: An Ethnographer's Experience of Growing to Know Places at Sea
How do we come to know the places we inhabit? What do places mean to us? What associations do we make with them? As an ethnographer and outsider I have grown, in a small way, to know places at sea along the northwest coast of Hudson Bay. In this paper I explore my growth into that knowledge, and how the sea became transformed from a blank space to a place filled with memory and association. I compare my short experience with that of local Inuit, …
