Abstract
Abstract In this article, we explore shifting human/environment entanglements narrated by Inuit hunters in the community of Kullorsuaq in northwestern Greenland. We present findings from 29 in-depth qualitative interviews that were analyzed using an inductive analytical approach. We examine shifts in human-environment entanglements narrated by hunters and their wives, the ways in which traditional knowledge is transmitted amid shifting entanglements, and we characterize the more-than-human intimacies that develop and facilitate the transmission of traditional knowledge. We conclude that the actors who shape ecological policies pay close attention to the more-than-human intimacies implicated in the transmission of traditional knowledge that contributes to Indigenous autonomy in northwestern Greenland.
期刊介绍:
Arctic Anthropology, founded in 1962 by Chester S. Chard, is an international journal devoted to the study of Old and New World northern cultures and peoples. Archaeology, ethnology, physical anthropology, and related disciplines are represented, with emphasis on: studies of specific cultures of the arctic, subarctic and contiguous regions of the world; the peopling of the New World; relationships between New World and Eurasian cultures of the circumpolar zone; contemporary problems and culture change among northern peoples; and new directions in interdisciplinary northern research.
