Cree Hunters' Responses to Resource Development in James Bay, Quebec

本论文研究将探讨如何克里猎人感知和应对与资源开发在加拿大魁北克省詹姆斯湾地区的环境变化。 拟议的研究将侧重于商业林业和体育狩猎，克里猎人认为这些因素直接影响他们继续收获野生动物，特别是驼鹿，驼鹿是许多克里社区的主要肉类来源。利用人类学和社会影响评估方法对这些因素进行分析，将提供关于地方系统如何受到大规模区域环境变化的影响和如何应对这些变化的详细信息。研究结果将有助于我们了解北方地区环境变化的性质和范围，以及这种影响对北方居民，特别是土著人民的经济、社会和文化模式的影响。

This dissertation study will examine how Cree hunters perceive and respond to environmental changes associated with resource development in the James Bay region of Quebec Province, Canada. The proposed study will focus on commercial forestry and sport hunting, factors identified by Cree hunters as directly affecting their continued harvest of wildlife, especially moose, a primary source of meat in many Cree communities. Analysis of these factors using anthropological and social impact assessment approaches will provide detailed information on how local systems are affected by and respond to large-scale regional environmental changes. Results will contribute to our understanding of the nature and scope of environmental changes in northern regions and the effects of such impacts on economic, social and cultural patterns of northern residents, particularly aboriginal peoples.
