商品簡介
Editors Anderson (anthropology, U. of Aberdeen), Nuttal (anthropology, U. of Alberta) and contributors describe how politics and economics have divided the indigenous people of the arctic. Whether socialist or capitalistic, these outside forces have made inroads into the indigenous ways of life, including relationships with the animals that sustain indigenous culture and support its survival. In 12 articles, contributors examine the role of the reindeer and caribou in non-indigenous use of state power, uses and abuses of traditional knowledge in Canada, Greenland, Sweden, and Norway, and the means by which indigenous people are taking back their ways of life.
