Arctic Peoples, Culture, Resilience and Caribou

Most projects are community-based case studies (Aklavik, Tutoyaktuk, and Deline) which allow for indepth collaboration and inquiry. Another group of projects allows researchers to learn about cross cutting themes of resilience relevant to all communities in ACRC regions of Nunavut, Yukon and Northwest Territories.

A third group of projects is aimed at synthesizing and compiling data gathered from the project in ways that will enable partners to meaningfully interpret and communicate the knowledge and experience of northern communities dealing with caribou population variability and decline. The perspectives of northern communities on environmental change vary significantly by region; while some communities have significant knowledge and capacity to deal with variability and change in resources such as caribou, others have had limited experience, knowledge and skills for coping, mitigating or adapting to change.
