Relations between human beings and their environment are in peril, with mounting threats to both biological diversity of life on earth and cultural diversity of human communities. The peoples of the Circumpolar Arctic are at the forefront of these challenges and lead the way in seeking meaningful responses." "In Biocultural Diversity and Indigenous Ways of Knowing, author Karim-Aly Kassam positions the Arctic and sub-Arctic as a homeland rather than simply a frontier for resource exploitation. Kassam aims to empirically and theoretically illustrate the synthesis between the cultural and biological, using human ecology as a conceptual and analytical lens. Drawing on research carried out in partnership with indigenous northern communities, three case studies illustrate that subsistence hunting and gathering are not relics of an earlier era, but rather remain essential to both cultural diversity and to human survival." "This book deals with contemporary issues such as climate change, indigenous knowledge, and the impact of natural resource extraction. It is a narrative of community-based research, in the service of the communities for the benefit of the communities. It provides resource-based industry, policy makers, and students with an alternative way of engaging indigenous communities and transforming our perspective on conservation of ecological and cultural diversity."--BOOK JACKET. 000437276 650_0 $$aHuman ecology$$zArctic regions. 000437276 650_0 $$aIndigenous peoples$$zArctic regions. 000437276 650_0 $$aSubsistence economy$$zArctic regions$$vCase studies. 000437276 650_0 $$aBiodiversity conservation$$zArctic regions. 000437276 650_0 $$aCultural pluralism$$zArctic regions. 000437276 650_0 $$aTraditional ecological knowledge$$zArctic regions. 000437276 7102_ $$aArctic Institute of North America. 000437276 830_0 $$aNorthern lights series (Calgary, Alta.) 000437276 85200 $$bgen$$hGF891$$i.K37$$i2009 000437276 85642 $$3Publisher description$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1113/2010481612-d.html 000437276 85642 $$3Contributor biographical information$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1116/2010481612-b.html 000437276 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:437276$$pGLOBAL_SET 000437276 980__ $$aBIB 000437276 980__ $$aBOOK
