This report provides detailed information about the harvests and uses of wild resources by residents of Kaltag, Alaska during 2018. Kaltag is a rural community located in Interior Alaska along the Yukon River; Kaltag residents are primarily of Koyukon Athabascan descent. Residents participate in a seasonal round of subsistence activities that is guided by both customary and traditional patterns of use and contemporary hunting and fishing regulations. Comprehensive household surveys were used to gather community-level information about demographics, income, food security, and the harvest of over 100 resources. This report presents harvest information, including maps of the areas used for subsistence, for the following eight resource categories: salmon, nonsalmon fish, large land mammals, small land mammals, birds and eggs, marine mammals, marine invertebrates, and vegetation. Local and traditional knowledge is also incorporated into the results and was collected through recorded ethnographic interviews with select community residents and through open-ended survey comments. Survey results highlight the importance of subsistence within the community. All households (100%) in Kaltag used wild resources, and 94% harvested wild resources themselves. Overall, Kaltag residents harvested 47,907 lb of wild food in 2018, amounting to 799 lb per household and 322 lb per capita. Although a wide variety of subsistence resources were utilized, moose and salmon contributed most of the total harvest by weight. Subsistence activities generally took place within the regional vicinity of the community and were heavily focused along the Yukon River corridor and in the Kaiyuh Flats. This comprehensive baseline information can be used in the future to compare if and how subsistence harvest and use patterns change over time.

This report summarizes the results of research conducted in March 2019 on the subsistence harvests and uses of wild foods in Buckland, AK for the 2018 study year. The comprehensive subsistence survey asked respondents about their harvest, sharing, and use of more than 75 species of fish, land mammals, marine mammals, marine invertebrates, birds, wild plants, and berries. The project also collected information on community demographics, income, and food security. Researchers mapped areas used by community residents for subsistence hunting, fishing, and gathering in a 12-month study period. Buckland is a primarily Iñupiat community with a reliance on caribou, fish, and marine mammal species. The last comprehensive survey was conducted in Buckland for the 2003 study year and subsistence harvests were remarkably similar between two studies conducted over 15 years apart. Despite some variation in harvest composition by resource category, per capita harvests in 2003 (553 lb of wild food per person) and 2018 (554 lb) were nearly identical.

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.

This report presents the results of research documenting the harvests and uses of wild foods in Birch Creek, Alaska during the calendar year 2018. Information for this report was gathered through a census of household surveys and semi-structured interviews with knowledgeable key respondents. Three of the four key respondent interviews were conducted in Fairbanks in January 2020. Respondents in these interviews included three current Birch Creek residents and two former Birch Creek residents who now reside in Fairbanks. This research focused on the harvest amounts, uses, and sharing of all wild resources by the community. Information gathered also includes demographics, income, food security, the assessment of recent availability of resources, and areas used to search for subsistence resources in 2018. Birch Creek is a small community located in the Yukon Flats of Interior Alaska on Birch Creek River, a tributary of the Yukon River. The majority of Birch Creek residents are of Dendu Gwich’in descent and are members of the Birch Creek Tribe. Residents of Birch Creek, like those of all Yukon Flats communities, rely on subsistence resources and they participate in a variety of traditional subsistence harvest activities that vary by season. This is the first comprehensive subsistence harvest and use survey conducted in Birch Creek; the results presented here are considered baseline information that can be used in the future to compare if and how subsistence harvest and use patterns change over time.

This report summarizes the results of research conducted in 2018 on the subsistence harvests and uses of wild foods in Fort Yukon, Alaska during the calendar year of 2017. The principal research questions asked about the quantities of wild resources harvested and used by Fort Yukon residents. Related questions involved the role of wild foods in the region’s economy, the role of cash in subsistence economies, the lands and waters used to harvest subsistence resources, the seasonal variability of food security in Fort Yukon, and the assessment of harvests over time. These data were collected to update the existing comprehensive subsistence data for Fort Yukon that was gathered between 1987 and 1988. Fort Yukon is the largest community in the Yukon Flats and serves as a regional hub. Limited data exists for other Yukon Flats communities, so updating comprehensive harvest and use information in Fort Yukon is critical to understanding the regional harvest and use patterns that have changed over time.

This report summarizes the harvest and use of wild foods by Hughes, Alaska residents in the calendar year 2014. Objectives of this project were to quantify the amount of resources harvested by residents of Hughes, document lands used to search for and harvest resources, quantify the amount of individual participation in the subsistence economy, and collect comments and concerns relevant to subsistence in Hughes. This information is important for effectively managing fish and wildlife on state and federal lands and for fully providing for the subsistence priority as required by the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act. The last comprehensive resource use information was collected in 1982, and much has changed since then. This study was a collaborative effort between Alaska Department of Fish and Game, National Park Service, and Hughes Village Council. Results presented in this publication were collected using standard anthropological methods, including a structured household survey and key respondent interviews. Household participation in this project was voluntary; surveys and interviews were conducted under provision of anonymity. Results presented in this report are presented as community aggregates of household activities. Of the 35 permanent households in Hughes, 26 participated in this effort (77%). Almost every household (96%) reported using wild resources. Residents used a total of 54 different resources. The community per capita harvest was 360 lb per person. The results of this project avouch the continuing prominence of wild resource uses in Hughes, Alaska.

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 provides updated information about the harvests and uses of fish, wildlife, and wild plant resources by the communities of Akhiok, Old Harbor, and Larsen Bay. During February 2019, researchers surveyed households about uses and harvests of wild resources in 2018. Through these household surveys, researchers 1) estimated annual harvests and uses of wild fish, wildlife, and wild plant resources in a 12-month study period by residents of the study communities; 2) mapped areas used for hunting, fishing, and gathering; 3) collected demographic and income information; and 4) evaluated trends in wild resource harvests. Researchers also identified particularly knowledgeable individuals in each community to conduct in-depth, semi-structured interviews with about subsistence harvesting practices, resource abundance patterns, and specific knowledge of the Olga and Akalura lakes systems. During the 2018 study year, most households in each of the study communities used and harvested wild resources for nutrition and to support their subsistence way of life. Residents of the three communities used in excess of 85 different types of resources, most of which were harvested within the land and waters surrounding the study communities. Salmon was the most harvested resource category in each community, followed by nonsalmon fish and large land mammals. Marine invertebrates, marine mammals, birds and eggs, and small land mammals also contributed to the overall subsistence harvests. Per capita harvests ranged from 239 lb in Larsen Bay to 370 lb in Akhiok and 579 lb in Old Harbor. The information collected during this project complements similar data collected in these communities spanning the past 40 years and will contribute to an understanding of contemporary subsistence patterns in Kodiak Island communities. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Office of Subsistence Management provided funding for this project. Division of Subsistence research staff carried out the project with support from the Alutiiq Tribe of Old Harbor, the Native Village of Akhiok, and the Native Village of Larsen Bay.
