Respect the Land (Kamaksrił̣iq Nunam Irrusianik): Iñupiaq Values and Subsistence Management in Western Arctic National Parklands
Subsistence is a way of life, a source of sustenance, and central to culture, community, and spirituality in the Northwest Arctic. Indigenous knowledge and values guide subsistence hunting practices. Agencies like the National Park Service have missions that reflect some of these values. It is important, however, that local people have a seat at the table for decision-making and that their knowledge is a foundation for how subsistence resources are managed for generations to come.
