Abstract

"Two models of wildlife management operate throughout the North American Arctic, an indigenous system and a state system, but the former has limited application and the latter has never worked well. This article identifies the problems associated with this dualism and argues that co-management arrangements involving public authorities and indigenous user groups offer the best approach for solving these problems in an ecologically sound, efficient, equitable, and enduring way. Examining three of the seven wildlife co-management arrangements now operating in Alaska and the Canadian North, the Beverly-Kaminuriak Caribou Management Plan in the central Canadian Arctic, the Northern Quebec Beluga Management Plan, and the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta Goose Management Plan in Alaska, the paper seeks to determine the key ingredients of successful co-management."--page v.
