In recent years, the effects of climate change have become increasingly visible in northern Canada; its impact on northern Indigenous peoples has become a particularly important area of research and policy. While much focus has been on the experiences of high arctic communities, less is known about the effects of climate change on the livelihoods of those living in the sub-arctic including the Mackenzie River Basin. Got’ine peoples of Dé lįne, and their fishing livelihoods, for example, may be affected by such problems as rising temperatures, erratic weather events and changing precipitation patterns. This has implications for food security and wellbeing; fishing not only contributes to necessary food resources, but also underpins healthy respectful relationships between people and cultural landscapes such as Great Bear Lake.
