Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1990s, news stories began to circulate about declining caribou populations in the North. Were caribou the canary in the coal mine for climate change, or did declining numbers reflect overharvesting by Indigenous hunters or failed attempts at scientific wildlife management? Grounded in community-based research in northern Canada, a region in the forefront of co-management efforts, these collected stories and essays bring to the fore the insights of the Inuvialuit, Gwich’in, and Sahtú, people for whom caribou stewardship has been a way of life for centuries. Anthropologists, historians, political scientists, ecologists, and sociologists join forces with elders and community leaders to discuss four themes: the cultural significance of caribou, caribou ecology, food security, and caribou management. Together, they bring to light past challenges and explore new opportunities for respecting northern communities, cultures, and economies and for refocusing caribou management on the knowledge, practices, and beliefs of northern Indigenous peoples. Ultimately, When the Caribou Do Not Come drives home the important role that Indigenous knowledge must play in understanding, and coping with, our changing Arctic ecosystems and in building resilient, adaptive communities.

Book excerpt: "Caribou leaders are a key concept in traditional hunting practice with indigenous caribou hunters of Northwestern Canada. Some hunters perceive that 'letting caribou leaders pass' prevents disruption to caribou migration. This concept was adapted to roadside hunting through an enforced hunting closure on the Dempster highway during the fall migration of the Porcupine Caribou Herd. This study sought to define caribou leaders through traditional knowledge, experimentally test for leadership in captive caribou, and identify barriers to applying the traditional concept to policy. Findings indicate that caribou leaders are defined in multiple context-specific ways, and the term can represent all age and sex classes of caribou. Respondents described practical applications of caribou leadership to ensure caribou harvest or ease reindeer herd management. Female caribou emerged as leaders in pairs during the experiment, which indicated that females could become leaders at this scale. The analysis of 'letting the leaders pass' policy showed that context specificity, together with social and political change, as well as an institutional mismatch prevented continued use of the traditional concept as enforceable regulation"--Leaf iii.

Book excerpt: The Vuntut Gwitchin of Old Crow, the northernmost community in the Yukon, have relied on the Porcupine Caribou Herd for thousands of years, both culturally and as a food source. However, environmental changes in the North are threatening the herd; in the face of such environmental change, resilience is a key factor in the continued survival of both Gwitchin and caribou. Resilience can be a contradictory concept, used by various disciplines from ecology to social science. Although it is typically described as the ability to deal with disturbance, resilience does not necessarily seek to avoid change entirely, but rather, it is the ability of a system 'to persist in an uncertain world' (Perrings, cited in Olsson et al 2015: 1). Change can be accepted, whether that is modifying hunting techniques to accommodate changes in animal behaviour, or adopting new technology. For the Gwitchin, what matters is that the underlying values, such as respect for the land and animals, remains. Nevertheless, there are limits to the concept of resilience and some changes may be too great. Infrastructure in the calving grounds may cause lasting damage to the Porcupine herd, and the Gwitchin believe that their fate is tied to that of the caribou, saying 'if it's gone, we're gone'. Local, land-based knowledge is the key to developing and strengthening resilience for both people and caribou. Detailed knowledge of the land, gained through experience of being and traveling on the land, helps caribou and Gwitchin to adapt to changing conditions as the North grows warmer. For the Gwitchin, traditional knowledge is also used to protect against further environmental disturbance caused by extractive industry. By sharing their knowledge, the Gwitchin are working towards their own resilience, as well as that of the Porcupine herd.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Barren-ground caribou herds are part of social-ecological systems that are of critical importance to northern Indigenous Peoples of the Arctic, contributing to nutritional, cultural, and spiritual well being that are today undergoing significant changes. This dissertation uses multiple disciplinary lenses to understand the dynamics of these systems and to clarify methods for studying them. Chapter 1 focuses on a prediction of summer (June 1- August 31) mosquito activity and potential insect harassment of caribou in response to a changing climate. The Mosquito Activity Index (MAI) was based on daily ambient temperature and wind velocity obtained from the North American Regional Reanalysis dataset (NARR) from 1979 to 2009 for summer ranges of Alaska’s four Arctic herds: Western Arctic Herd (WAH), Teshekpuk Caribou Herd (TCH), Central Arctic Herd (CAH), and Porcupine Caribou Herd (PCH). Mean MAI was lowest for TCH, followed by WAH and PCH and highest for CAH. Over 31 years there was an increasing trend in MAI that affected the summer habitat of TCH and PCH, but a decreasing trend for WAH. Intra-annual patterns in MAI among herds differed in peak MAI. Chapter 2 presents a novel method of participatory videography to document the knowledge and experiences of Caribou People. Ninety-nine interviews were videoed in six Arctic communities of North America in the summer of 2008 as part of the International Polar Year. Chapter 3 presents “Voices of Caribou People,” a composite film of those interviewed, portraying the range of topics reported. Chapter 4 presents the results of an open-coding content analysis of a sample of 34 of the Voices Project interviews. Interviews described people’s rich memories of the past, aspects of their traditional knowledge and practices, the changes they have observed, the challenges they face, and what they perceive as their needs to meet present and future challenges. A key finding of the analysis is that while the research community and funding agencies are highly focused on climate change, Caribou People expressed greater concern about their social, economic, and political challenges. Caribou people noted that more studies undertaken in full partnership with caribou user communities along with community authority in decision-making are needed to sustain their human-caribou systems.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This report provides a record of Survey and Inventory (S&I) management activities for the Mulchatna caribou herd (MCH) whose range includes Units 9B, 17B, 18, 19A, 19B, and a major portion of Units 17A, 17C, and 9C. This report is for the previous 5 regulatory years (RY12–RY16) and plans for S&I management activities in the 5 years following the end of this period (RY17–RY21). A regulatory year (RY) begins 1 July and ends 30 June (e.g., RY10 = 1 July 2010–30 June 2011). This report is produced primarily to provide agency staff with data and analysis to help guide and record its own efforts, but it is provided to the public to inform them of wildlife management activities. In 2016 ADF&G/DWC launched this 5-year report to more efficiently document trends and describe potential changes in data collection activities over the next 5-year reporting period. It replaces the caribou management reports of S&I activities that were previously produced every 2 years."-- Page 1

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The primary objective of this study was to define and identify critical caribou habitat in northern Yukon (ie. north of treeline) in order to better predict impact of any human activity on caribou. A comprehensive ecological approach was used to first of all define "critical" habitat. Caribou movement and behavior was related to the "need to feed" and the "need to avoid insects". 1. Historical and recent movements and distribution of the herd pointed to the importance of the Richardson Mountains and the Muskeg Basin regions of the northern Yukon during summer insect season. Radio-tracking relocations pointed to the frequent fracturing and reformation of large aggregations during the insect season and the constant movement of these groups. 2. Our assessment of the regional distribution of vegetation communities has shown that the Blow River valley and the valleys of the Richardson Mountains support lush vegetation. ...3. Our study of mosquito activity ... showed that mosquito activity peaks the second week of July and declines thereafter, .... 4. Our documentation of regional weather in 1986 revealed the regional influence of warm, moist northeasterly flows from interior Alaska and the cool southwesterly flows from the Beaufort Sea. Our study appeared to lie within the area of conflict between these two systems, resulting in dynamic weather patterns that can and are exploited by the caribou. ... 5. Our study of caribou behaviour response to insect harassment revealed the importance of defense strategies such as forming large dense groups when insects are active, and the advantage gained by individuals in the core or windward side of a group. 6. Caribou activity budgets indicated that insect harassment had the most profound effect of reducing lying and feeding at the expense of standing. ... The study provides the baseline information on the use of the region by the Porcupine caribou herd during the summer period, and combined with our knowedge of caribou/human interactions from related studies, puts us in an excellent position to help guide industrial development. ...
