Book Description
Making up more than ten percent of Alaska's population, Native Alaskans are the state's largest minority group. Yet most non-Native Alaskans know surprisingly little about the histories and cultures of their indigenous neighbors, or about the important issues they face. This concise book compiles frequently asked questions and provides informative and accessible responses that shed light on some common misconceptions. With responses composed by scholars within the represented communities and reviewed by a panel of experts, this easy-to-read compendium aims to facilitate a deeper exploration and richer discussion of the complex and compelling issues that are part of Alaska Native life today.

Book Description
The second edition of the Traditional Food Guide represents itsdifferent uses by recognizing that the guide is an important toolfor healthy living for the youngest child to the oldest elder who enjoy Alaska's wild foods. It isalso a guide to help people with diseases like cancer, diabetes orheart disease learn more about nutrition and eat better foods. The food guide includes sections on nutrition, food safety and food sources from the land and sea. The food pages reference theAlaska Native names, history and preparation information andinclude personal stories. Since there are different names for manytraditional Native foods, the guide tries to address the differencesby noting the more commonly known names rather than focusingon specific foods from each Alaska region.

Book Description
With a long history and deep connection to the Earth’s resources, indigenous peoples have an intimate understanding and ability to observe the impacts linked to climate change. Traditional ecological knowledge and tribal experience play a key role in developing future scientific solutions for adaptation to the impacts. The book explores climate-related issues for indigenous communities in the United States, including loss of traditional knowledge, forests and ecosystems, food security and traditional foods, as well as water, Arctic sea ice loss, permafrost thaw and relocation. The book also highlights how tribal communities and programs are responding to the changing environments. Fifty authors from tribal communities, academia, government agencies and NGOs contributed to the book. Previously published in Climatic Change, Volume 120, Issue 3, 2013.
