A climactically-induced increase in wildfires in the Alaskan boreal forest threatens rural indigenous livelihoods, and indicates a need for community involvement in wildfire policy planning. A diverse literature describes community-based natural resource management, but has not been applied to wildfire management. Through three research papers this dissertation investigates conflicts over wildfire management in rural Alaska and considers community participation as a potential solution. The first paper explores the concept of a "community" perspective on wildfire in the Koyukon Athabascan communities of Galena and Huslia. A Q-sort was used to determine shared perspectives, and showed that Koyukon grouped separately...
Traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) and the information and insights it offers to natural resource research and management have been given much attention in recent years. On the practical question of how TEK is accessed and used together with scientific knowledge, most work to date has examined documentation and methods of recording and disseminating information. Relatively little has been done regarding exchanges between scientific and traditional knowledge. This paper examines three workshop settings in which such exchanges were intended outcomes. The Barrow Symposium on Sea Ice, the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Restoration Program Synthesis/Information Workshops, and the Alaska Beluga Whale Committee illuminate...
What explains the variation in the levels of participatory authority enjoyed by indigenous groups in international natural resource management institutions, and through what processes have these groups attained their positions? This study examines how institutional rules are arrayed in such a way as to shape the relative levels of indigenous participation among six cases dealing with international fisheries management. These include American and Canadian indigenous collectivities in the Pacific Salmon Commission (PSC) and the International Pacific Halibut Commission (IPHC), and two individual cases of non-participation in the PSC, the Colville and Nisga'a, where participation might otherwise be expected. The processes...

Because this Program is a joint effort between Interior and Agriculture, these regulations are located in two titles of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR): Title 36, "Parks, Forests, and Public Property," and Title 50, "Wildlife and Fisheries," at 36 CFR 242.1-28 and 50 CFR 100.1-28, respectively. Lack of appropriate and immediate action would generally fail to serve the overall public interest and conflict with Section 815(3) of ANILCA. [...] the Board finds good cause pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B) to waive additional public notice and comment procedures prior to implementation of this action and under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), to make these adjustments effective as indicated in the DATES section.
This dissertation examines the political, environmental and ideological conflicts surrounding the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and the efforts of Native activists and environmental NGOs to prevent oil development in this region. Based on nearly two years of ethnographic fieldwork with the Gwich'in Athabascan community of Vashraii K'oo, AK and with environmental NGOs operating in Fairbanks, AK and Washington DC, I consider the ways that NGOs and indigenous groups can be "on the same side," yet can simultaneously be working against each other. Both Gwich'in activists and environmental NGOs argue that oil development in the Arctic Refuge would be ecologically damaging and would likely have deleterious impacts on...
This qualitative inquiry used the Mackenzie Valley Pipeline public hearings as a point of reference to determine how some Dene transmit their knowledge of the land in environmental hearings. This study, directed by a critical approach, includes a review of the literature addressing aboriginal knowledge and environmental impact assessment, in addition, nine Dene from the Deh Cho region of Denendeh (Northwest Territories) discussed their public speaking experience during the Mackenzie Valley Pipeline Inquiry. Dene participants voiced their understanding of public conduct and knowledge sharing distinct from the western perspective. Personal experience is incorporated in an autoethnography to provide a narrative on...
