PDF-[EBOOK]-Whale Snow: Iñupiat, Climate Change, and Multispecies Resilience in Arctic Alaska

As a mythical creature the whale has been responsible for many transformations in the world It is an enchanting being that humans have long felt a connection to In the contemporary environmental imagination whales are charismatic megafauna feeding our environmentalism and aspirations for a better and more sustainable futureUsing multispecies ethnography Whale Snow explores how everyday the relatedness of the Iñupiat of Arctic Alaska and the bowhead whale forms and transforms the human through their encounters with modernity Whale Snow shows how the people live in the world that intersects with other beings how these connections came into being and most importantly how such intimate and intense relations help humans survive the social challenges incurred by climate change In this time of ecological transition exploring multispecies relatedness is crucial as it keeps social capacities to adapt relational elastic and resilientIn the Arctic climate culture and human resilience are connected through bowhead whaling In Whale Snow we see how climate change disrupts this ancient practice and in the process affects a vital expression of Indigenous sovereignty Ultimately though this book offers a story of hope grounded in multispecies resilienceNote The cover art xray whale was designed by Nasuraq Rainey Hopson an Iñupiaq educator artist and environmentalist who was born and raised on the North Slope of Alaska Hopsons artwork tells many stories and they often point to a positive reciprocal relationship that goes across the boundary of humans and nonhuman animals. .
