COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH - Change and Its Impact on Culture, Economy and Identity in Three North Bering Strait Alaskan Inupiat Societies: Little Diomede Island, King Island, Wales

本项目考察了阿拉斯加白令海峡北部地区三个以生存为导向的因纽特人社会对全球化进程相关的社会文化和经济变化的看法。该研究集中在三个种族相关但在社会政治、文化和经济上截然不同的因纽特人社区：小迪奥米德岛上的因加利克人；来自威尔士，白令海峡东北部海岸；还有国王岛。该研究解决了在觅食技术和传统领域影响身份的变化组成部分。它依赖于多种方法，包括参与者观察和多代家庭访谈。研究人员将与每个社区广泛的居民合作，并将雇用当地的成年人和学生作为顾问、研究助理和实习生，努力提供当地有意义的研究经验。

AbstractOPP-0096985 and 0095120This project examines local perceptions of sociocultural and economic changes often associated with globalization processes in three subsistence-oriented Inupiat societies in the north Bering Strait region of Alaska. The study focuses on three ethnically related but sociopolitically, culturally, and economically distinct Inupiat communities: people from Ingaliq on Little Diomede Island; from Wales, on the northeastern Bering Strait coast; and from King Island. The study addresses change components that have influenced identity in the areas of foraging technologies and traditions. It relies on a variety of methods, including participant observations and multigenerational family interviews. The researchers will collaborate with a wide spectrum of residents in each community and will employ local adults and students as consultants, research assistants, and interns in an effort to provide locally meaningful research experiences.
