"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. In this beautifully illustrated volume, contributors document how Indigenouscommunities in Alaska, northern Canada, Greenland, and Siberia are seeking ways to maintain and strengthen their cultural identity while also embracing forces of disruption. Indigenous and non-Indigenous contributors bring together oral history and scholarly research from disciplines such as linguistics, archaeology, and ethnohistory. With an emphasis on Indigenous place names, this volume illuminates how the land--and the memories that are inextricably tied to it--continue to define Indigenous identity.The perspectives presented here also serve to underscore the value of Indigenous knowledge and its essential place in future studies of the Arctic."-- - Chicago Distribution Center
Industrial development in the north has disrupted the environment and Indigenous livelihoods. Memory and Landscape explores how Indigenous peoples in the Arctic are adapting to such rapid change. In this beautifully illustrated volume, Indigenous and non-Indigenous contributors use oral history and scholarly research from disciplines such as linguistics, archaeology, and ethnohistory to reveal the complex ways communities in the northâAlaska, Canada, Greenland, and Siberiaâstrengthen their identities in the face of cultural disruption. The authors demonstrate why the resilience of Indigenous memory, marked in the land by place names and stories, must form the bedrock of Arctic studies.
