The Arctic Research Consortium of the U.S. (ARCUS) invites registration for the next Arctic Research Seminar featuring Stanislav Saas Ksenofontov (ARCTICenter at the University of Northern Iowa). The presentation, titled Sustainability of Indigenous Communities and Global Change: perspectives from Sakha, NE Siberia, will be held via Zoom on Wednesday, 2 October 2024 at 9:00 a.m. AKT (1:00 p.m. ET).

Seminar Abstract:

Indigenous understanding of sustainability is embedded in close relations to land and environment, Indigenous Knowledge systems, Indigenous epistemologies and ontologies, and Indigenous languages. However, the sustainability of Indigenous peoples’ livelihoods is significantly affected by various global change drivers. In the Arctic, Indigenous peoples’ livelihoods are impacted by environmental, social, and cultural changes, including climate change, environmental pollution, economic processes, and resource extraction. This presentation aims to review and synthesize recent academic and gray literature on the sustainability of Indigenous communities in Sakha Republic, Northeast Siberia, Russia in the face of global change with a particular focus on land- and water-based traditional activities, native language, and the Indigenous Knowledge system.

Registration is required for this event. Instructions for accessing the webinar will be sent to registrants prior to the event.
