This book brings together a complete a record of traditional Yup’ik rule and ritual as possible in the late twentieth century. I have tried to highlight recurrent themes, meanings, and metaphors to convey what is unique to the Yup’ik view of the world.
Ten 7-day-old gnotobiotic Beagle puppies were inoculated intraperitoneally with virulent canine distemper virus (R252-CDV). The dogs were killed and perfused with paraformaldehyde/glutaraldehyde from eight to 36 days after inoculation. The developing teeth of the mandibles were examined by light microscopy, and the teeth from three dogs were examined by electron microscopy. Necrosis of individual cells in the stratum intermedium of the developing tooth was the first change, detectable at day 9 post-inoculation. At day 16 postinoculation, there was disorganization of the ameloblasts.
Ekwǫ̀ Nàxoède K’è is a Bathurst caribou monitoring program based upon the Traditional Knowledge (TK) of Tłı̨chǫ and Inuit indigenous elders and harvesters. The new name for the program, Ekwǫ̀ Nàxoède K’è, replaces its previous name Boots on the Ground. Ekwǫ̀ Nàxoède K’è was chosen by the Tłı̨chǫ program advisors, and means “in the migration of caribou,” and everything that relates to them. The objectives are to monitor the conditions of Bathurst caribou herd on the summer range, focusing on four key indicators: (1) habitat; (2) caribou; (3) predators, and (4) industrial development.
This chapter will attempt to explore the significance of wolf recovery in the western Great Lakes region to one group of people – those known to others as the Ojibwe or Chippewa, and to themselves as the Anishinabe. It is not written by an Ojibwe, but by an individual who has had the pleasure and privilege of working with and for the Ojibwe for over two decades. It does not purport to extend the concepts discussed to other Native American nations – even those others residing in the western Great Lakes region – though in some cases there will be similarities.
1. We investigated the functional response of wolves (Canis lupus) to varying abundance of ungulate prey to test the hypothesis that switching from alternate prey to preferred prey results in regulation of a caribou (Rangifer tarandus) population at low densities.
This article is about constitutionalism as an Indigenous tradition. The political idea of constitutionalism is the idea that the process of governing is itself governed by a set of foundational laws or rules. There is ample evidence that Indigenous nations in North America—and in Australia and New Zealand as well—were in this sense constitutionalists.
Of the 64 wolves recorded as harvested from the North Slave Region in 2019-20, 50 carcasses were necropsied.
The North Slave Region received 65 wolf carcasses from the winter of 2018-19 that were necropsied. There were 59 wolves taken by hunters in the new wolf harvest incentive area in winter 2018-19, 56 of which were paid $900/wolf ($50,400 total).
The Wildlife Management Advisory Council (WMAC-NWT) and the Inuvialuit Game Council (IGC) approved a wolf-prey research program because wolves in the area prey predominately on caribou (Rangifer tarandus), which is an important food species for Inuvialuit. Wolves are also an Important fur resource used in the communities or sold for economic benefit. The Inuvialuit are interested in maintaining a wolf population that is a part of the natural environment and can meet their needs, yet not jeopardize their opportunity to harvest caribou.
