Tuman alaĝux^ agliisaax^tan (Take care of the ocean): A new vision for Indigenous co-management in marine waters of the US
The Pribilof Islands are among the most unique and important places in the world. These islands provide vital breeding and feeding habitat for more than half of the world’s population of laaqudan (as they are called in Unangam Tunuu, Native language of the community), or northern fur seals, as well...
