Objectif(s): To analyze the degree to which subsistence harvesting and social relations continue to be a marker of Inuit identity; to assess the involvement of youth in subsistence activities contributes to wider household (extended family) economic strategies; to determine whether individual and household subsistence activities affect economic and social links at higher levels of social integration.
Description du projet: The researchers are interested in understanding how subsistence hunting contributes to Inuit society in Clyde River. Data will be collected from selected households over the next 3 years on harvesting activities and land use. This information will be used to understand how subsistence and wage economy activities have developed into a mixed economy, and to determine future economic trends based on employment interests of Inuit youth.
