The core objective of this research is to work with Inuvialuit and Gwich’in experts to document and share local observations of environmental conditions. Over time this will build a record of observations, against which future changes can be compared. To document local observations this research will employ methods including participatory photo-mapping, participatory-video, web-based mapping, phot...

Summary:
The objectives of this study are:
1. To document Inuit mobility patterns of Inuvialuit;
2. To create a series of regional maps that will show networks of routes connecting the Inuvialuit region, as well as the totality of the Canadian Arctic;
3. To gather further evidence to establish that mobility is a central factor of Inuit occupancy;
4. To gather evidence of systematic use of marine, coast...
