At what pace do storytellers represent climate change in the "rapidly changing" Arctic? Popular and scholarly narratives of Indigenous vulnerability too often address climate change as a singular event that reorganizes local lifeworlds in unprecedented ways. On the ground however, contemporary climate impacts, such as "food insecurity," are refracted through a range of simultaneous and cumulative ecological, social, and political structures that can precede and/or unfold slower than climate change. These factors include the intergenerational relations of care within communities, as well as multiple political challenges to their continuance. Throughout Iñupiaq Alaska, hunting is practiced as a form of care and sovereignty undergirding healthy, resilient, and collective Indigenous futures.
说书人以多快的速度讲述“瞬息万变”的北极气候变化？通俗和学术性的关于原住民脆弱性的叙述往往将气候变化视为一种单一的事件，以前所未有的方式重组当地的生活世界。然而，在现实中，诸如“粮食不安全”等当代气候影响是通过一系列同时发生且累积的生态、社会和政治结构折射出来的，这些结构可能比气候变化更早出现和/或展开得更慢。这些因素包括社区内代际之间的关怀关系，以及对其持续存在的多种政治挑战。在整个阿拉斯加因纽特人地区，狩猎作为一种关怀和主权的形式被实践着，支撑着健康、有弹性和集体的原住民未来。
