Description
Summary:This data set contains detailed summary notes from local and traditional knowledge interviews conducted in Emmonak. The basic topics focused on during the interviews were identified from the BSIERP research plan, including observed changes in weather, local ecosystems, river and sea ice, as well as important subsistence species such as salmon, non-salmon species, seals, beluga whales, and moose. Nine semi-structured interviews were conducted with knowledgeable Emmonak residents. The sample included both active subsistence harvesters/processors and elders who no longer hunt.
