Abstract
Abstract In northern Canada the traditional Inuit subsistence economy and means of transportation have undergone changes through the introduction of such technological innovations as the rifle, the boat motor, and the snowmobile. These innovations and the related changes have influenced hunting and trapping methods as well as the yield from hunting which, today, not only has to provide for the daily needs with regard to food and clothing, but also for the necessary monetary means to acquire and operate modern equipment. The paper presents data that were collected in Repulse Bay, N.W.T., in 1973 in order to arrive at a cost analysis of modern hunting within the superimposed framework of a “mixed economy”; based on both the traditional subsistence economy and wage employment.
