This report provides updated information about the harvest of fish, wildlife, and wild plant resources by the communities of Kenny Lake/Willow Creek, Gakona, McCarthy and Chitina. This report details the results of a household survey administered in these communities between January and April 2013 for the 2012 study year. These communities are located in the Copper River Basin of Southcentral Alaska. During the 2012 study year, many residents of the study communities relied on hunting, fishing, and wild food gathering for nutrition and to support their way of life. They utilized a variety of resources, including salmon and other fish, large land mammals, small land mammals, migratory waterfowl and upland game birds, and wild plants and berries. This report is the third in a series to update wild resource harvest information for the Copper River Basin and was funded by the Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve. This information was collected by research staff of the Division of Subsistence, Alaska Department of Fish and Game.

This report summarizes the results of research conducted on the 2012 harvests and uses of wild foods by 5 communities in Southeast Alaska. Between January and April 2013, eligible households in Haines, Hoonah, Angoon, Whale Pass, and Hydaburg answered questions about their harvest and use of fish, wildlife, and wild plants in 2012. During the 2012 study year, most households of the study communities relied on wild resources--obtained through sharing, hunting, fishing, or wild food gathering--for nutrition and to support their way of life. Total estimated harvests of wild foods for the 5 study communities were: 260,034 usable pounds (135 lb per capita) in Haines, 251,365 usable pounds (343 lb per capita) in Hoonah, 62,416 usable pounds (183 lb per capita) in Angoon, 13,656 usable pounds (247 lb per capita) in Whale Pass, and 176,310 usable pounds (531 lb per capita) in Hydaburg. Results indicate that the use, harvest, and sharing of wild resources remains important to these Southeast Alaska communities, despite changing demographics. Estimated harvests appear to have slightly decreased in Haines, Hoonah, and Angoon and slightly increased in Whale Pass and Hydaburg, but none of the differences are likely significant. Funding for the study was provided through the Alaska State Legislature as one component of an overall index community program, the purpose of which is to develop and implement a program to monitor subsistence harvests of fish and wildlife in all areas of the state through a system of index communities.

This report details the results of a household survey administered for the study year 2018 for harvests and uses of wild resources by Port Heiden households, as well as community demographic and economic characteristics. Also, this report includes information from in-depth interviews conducted with key respondents, as well as insight from participant observation during salmon fishing and processing activities. Port Heiden is located on the north side of the Alaska Peninsula. During the 2018 study year, an estimated 100% of households used at least one type of wild resource, and approximately 93% of households harvested at least one type of wild resource. Overall, 30,789 lb, or 297 lb per capita, of wild resources were harvested in 2018. Salmon and large land mammals composed the largest portions of overall wild resource harvests. Salmon composed almost one-half (48%) of the total wild resource harvest weight in 2018; the total salmon harvest was 14,856 lb, or 143 lb per capita. Large land mammals composed 37% of the total wild resource harvest weight; the large land mammals total harvest weight was 11,511 lb, or 111 lb per capita. The project was funded by the Alaska Sustainable Salmon Fund (AKSSF). This information was collected by research staff of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game Division of Subsistence, with support from the Native Village of Port Heiden.

What could an omnipresent and seemingly omnipotent entity want with a humble pot-healer? Or with the dozens of other odd creatures it has lured to Plowman's Planet? And if the Glimmung is a god, are its ends positive or malign? Combining quixotic adventure, spine-chilling horror, and deliriously paranoid theology, Galactic Pot-Healer is a uniquely Dickian voyage to alternate worlds of the imagination.

The research and policy discussions included in Aboriginal Policy Research, Volume VII, offer a portion of the original papers presented at the third Aboriginal Policy Research Conference held in Ottawa in 2009. Co-chaired by Dan Beavon of Indian and Northern Affairs Canada, Jerry White of the University of Western Ontario, and Peter Dinsdale of the National Association of Friendship Centres, this APRC, like those before it, brought researchers, policy-makers, and the Aboriginal community together to make connections, hear about leading research, and learn together. Volume VII begins with a look at historic treaties and modern meaning and concludes with an examination of how history has influenced policy in Canada today. Book jacket.
