The reports in this collection, compiled from a series of related projects, are based on interviews held between 2007 and 2017 with Alaska Native hunters in coastal communities in Alaska. The reports all focus on marine mammals, although the emphasis on particular species changes during the decade of the interviews were conducted. This collection is unusual in that it spans both a decade and a large geographic range of communities. The reports, as well as the results of the projects, were also presented in two peer-reviewed papers in scientific journals:
