白鲸（Delphinapterus leucas）从东博福特海（EBS）人口收获每年在Inuvialuit定居区（ISR）在他们的季节性迁移过去的沿海社区和收获营地。白鲸收获监测计划是ISR鱼类和海洋哺乳动物社区监测计划的旗舰计划，它提供了有关白鲸健康的重要信息，并观察到EBS种群的变化。这项研究的目的是开发一套当地的白鲸健康指标，桥梁传统生态知识（TEK）白鲸的条件，疾病和疾病，与西方科学通过知识的共同生产。来自因纽维克、Paulatuk和Tuktoyaktuk的具有白鲸收获和准备经验的社区成员参与了从因努维亚鲁伊特人的角度来描述白鲸健康状况的研究。Inuvialuit关于环境和白鲸健康的知识，关于狩猎白鲸的价值观，以及Inuvialuit宇宙学-知识系统的基础。
Belugas (Delphinapterus leucas) from the Eastern Beaufort Sea (EBS) population are harvested annually in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region (ISR) during their seasonal migration past coastal communities and harvest camps. The beluga harvest monitoring program is a flagship program of the ISR’s Fish and Marine Mammal Community Monitoring Program, and it has provided critical information about beluga health and observed changes in the EBS population. This study aimed to develop a suite of local indicators of beluga health that bridged traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) about beluga condition, illness, and disease, with western science through the co-production of knowledge. Community members from Inuvik, Paulatuk, and Tuktoyaktuk with beluga harvesting and preparation experience were engaged to characterize beluga health from an Inuvialuit perspective. Inuvialuit knowledge about the environment and beluga health, values about hunting beluga, and Inuvialuit cosmology — the foundation of the knowledge syste...
