Title:

Emmonak Field Report for the Local and Traditional Knowledge component of the Bering Sea Integrated Ecosystem Research Program

Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: document

Description:

Abstract:

This dataset contains detailed summary notes from local and traditional knowledge interviews conducted in Emmonak. The basic topics focused on during the interviews were identified from the BSIERP research plan, including observed changes in weather, local ecosystems, river and sea ice, as well as important subsistence species such as salmon, non-salmon species, seals, beluga whales, and moose.
Nine semi-structured interviews were conducted with knowledgeable Emmonak residents. The sample included both active subsistence harvesters/processors and elders who no longer hunt.

Purpose:

The Bering Sea Integrated Ecosystem Research Project (BSIERP, bsierp.nprb.org) examines the fish, seabirds, marine mammals, and people sustained by the Bering Sea. The Local and Traditional Knowledge (LTK) component adds a local human dimension to the overall project, though harvest surveys and monitoring and through interviews with hunters, fishers, and elders. The LTK work is being done in Akutan, St. Paul, Togiak, Emmonak, and Savoonga. This set of notes is from the interviews held in Emmonak in September 2010 and April 2011.
