Inuit, whaling, and sustainability / Milton M.R. Freeman ... [et al.].
"Inuit, Whaling, and Sustainability is based on extensive ethnographic, ecological, and policy research sponsored by the Inuit Circumpolar Conference. It presents Inuit perspectives on the integral role whales play in cultural, economic, philosophical, and nutritional aspects of Inuit life. As a unique example of interdisciplinary and collaborative research, it is a model for development studies, environmental policy and science, community studies, and Native studies."--BOOK JACKET.
