Arctic Peoples
Describes what life was like for the ancient people of the Arctic, including meals, family life, clothing, and transportation.
Protecting the Arctic
Protecting the Arctic explores some of the ways in which indigenous peoples have taken political action regarding Arctic environmental and sustainable development issues, and investigates the involvement of indigenous peoples in international environmental policy- making. Nuttall illustrates how indigenous peoples make claims that their own forms of resource management not only have relevance in an Arctic regional context, but provide models for the inclusion of indigenous values and environmental knowledge in the design, negotiation and implementation of global environmental policy.
Native Peoples of the Arctic
In the Arctic, survival is paramount. Yet, for thousands of years, people have made their home in present-day Canada and Alaska among the snow and ice. They value sharing and working together to make the coldest, toughest times of the year bearable. Through migration, hunting, and fishing, the peoples of the North American Arctic have made the best of their environment. Readers discover how and why people settled so far north as well as how they lived. Historical images and photographs showcase the tools, homes, and clothing of the Arctic peoples, while fact boxes offer more insight into their culture.

They provide an example of lives lived richly and joyfully amid dangers and insecurities that are beyond the imagination of the present world.

Arctic Mirrors
For over five hundred years the Russians wondered what kind of people their Arctic and sub-Arctic subjects were. "They have mouths between their shoulders and eyes in their chests," reported a fifteenth-century tale. "They rove around, live of their own free will, and beat the Russian people," complained a seventeenth-century Cossack. "Their actions are exceedingly rude. They do not take off their hats and do not bow to each other," huffed an eighteenth-century scholar. They are "children of nature" and "guardians of ecological balance," rhapsodized early nineteenth-century and late twentieth-century romantics. Even the Bolsheviks, who categorized the circumpolar foragers as "authentic prole...
