Memory and landscape : Indigenous responses to a changing North

Pratt, Kenneth L. (editor.). Heyes, Scott A. (editor.).

Summary: The North is changing at an unprecedented rate as industrial development and the climate crisis disrupt not only the environment but also long-standing relationships to the land and traditional means of livelihood. Memory and Landscape: Indigenous Responses to a Changing North explores the ways in which Indigenous peoples in the Arctic have adapted to challenging circumstances, including past cultural and environmental changes.
