Abstract

AbstractReindeer husbandry is the primary livelihood for over 24 Indigenous peoples. Reindeer herding culture and civilization are unique in the Arctic; today, however, they no longer form the foundation for economies of the Indigenous peoples in some Circumpolar regions. Modern reindeer husbandry is experiencing challenges such as climate change, loss of pastures, loss of languages and cultures, and opportunities through new technologies. This chapter introduces reindeer husbandry, Indigenous leadership, traditional knowledge, and adapting capacity discussed further in this volume.
