Herman-Mercer, N. M., E. Matkin, M. J. Laituri, R. C. Toohey, M. Massey, K. Elder, P. F. Schuster, and E. A. Mutter. 2016. Changing times, changing stories: generational differences in climate change perspectives from four remote indigenous communities in Subarctic Alaska. Ecology and Society 21(3):28.http://dx.doi.org/10.5751/ES-08463-210328
Highlights
Indigenous Arctic and Subarctic communities are currently facing a myriad of both social and environmental changes (ACIA 2005, Hinzman et al 2005, Moerlein and Carothers 2012, Larsen et al 2014)
We focused on the differences in the cultural dimensions of climate change found between young adults and elders
RESULTS the goal of our research was not to discover generational differences in the communities we visited, it became clear throughout the interview, coding, and analysis processes that differences existed between the generations in both observations and perceptions of climate change
Summary
Indigenous Arctic and Subarctic communities are currently facing a myriad of both social and environmental changes (ACIA 2005, Hinzman et al 2005, Moerlein and Carothers 2012, Larsen et al 2014). These changes have the potential to affect traditional knowledge systems and livelihoods and to stress the adaptive capacities of indigenous communities. Mary’s, Pilot Station, Kotlik, and Chevak are 507, 568, 577, and 938, respectively (U.S Census Bureau 2010a)
