Opis

Based on original fieldwork, historical evidence and interviews with local inhabitants of central west Greenland, Clemens Pasda's study looks at the nature of caribou-huntuing in the past and present, and the types of sites utilised. He argues that some of the sites were used like hotels, some being re-used many times when the same routes were taken year after year. His study identifies a series of site-types from camps established at fjords, large camps at the ends of routes along lakes and rivers, typically located in the centre of caribou areas, and smaller sleeping/resting places in the hinterland, often used as processing camps.
