Explain The Main Source Of Nutrition For Netsiliks

Decent Essays
According to Mr. Ferraro, the main source of nutrition for the Netsiliks and Inuits is the seal. But, they can also find some Caribou, Whales and salmons. The main reason for subsisting on these selections is mainly because of their environment – the food options are pretty limited and are based on availability. The seal is separated proportionally in a certain way that everyone is fed; it is done is such way because they are trying to keep everyone alive. In such community, the more people they have, the easier it is to hunt more food and to stay alive. Also, I believe that they are codependent on protection and others company

    All tastiness aside, the discrepancy in funding for protecting different species in the case of Chinook salmon and steelhead makes perfect sense. Salmon is the lifeblood of the pacific northwest. It feeds the forests, wildlife, communities, and the economy. It is no surprise that nearly 80% of funding was devoted to these two species. Populations of Chinook salmon and steelhead have declined rapidly since the 1980s and it appears despite our best efforts they are continuing to decline.…

    Sea Otters Pros And Cons

    Huffington Post’s article authoritatively described the definition of a trophic cascade as an ecological phenomenon triggered by the addition, or removal of top predators and involving reciprocal changes in the relative populations of predator and prey through a food chain, which often results in dramatic changes in ecosystem structure and nutrient cycling (huffingtonpost.com).” For that reason, in today’s society we have witnessed numerous trophic cascades that occur all over the world, specifically sea otters, blue crabs, jaguars, and as we discussed in class wolves that illustrate predators that decimate their prey because of the food chain (quora.com).” First of all, in the example of the sea otters, sea otters eat urchins. Sea urchins are omnivorous animals and therefore eat both plant and animal matter. The sea urchin mainly feeds on algae on the coral and rocks, along with decomposing matter such as dead fish, mussels, sponges, barnacles, and kelp.…

    The first chapter, "Inuit and Astronauts," efficiently describes how Inuit culture is both rooted in traditional lifeways and has come to embrace both modern technology and its lifestyles. McElroy describes a Nunavut Day celebration, which includes Inuit country music and visits from astronauts, as a way to display the premise of her ethnography. She makes it very clear that personal experience is one of the most important factors when studying another culture, and is widely incorporated in the book to describe how Inuit deal with sociocultural and political issues in a way that blends together cultures of multiple generations and natural landscape. The idea of the authenticity of Inuit culture also plays an important role in the text, especially…
