Project Chariot: The Nuclear Legacy of Cape Thompson, Alaska
In 1957, the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission selected a site approximately 30 miles southeast of the Inupiat Eskimo village of Point Hope to perform a number of "experiments," including the release of radioactive materials from a Nevada test site to analyze how such material would disperse through the area. The AEC's project involved the projected relocation of the Point Hope Inupiat.the relocation of the Katovik Inupiat. This article tells the history of these events. (Norman Chance, Artic Circle).

Save the Seals and Damn the Natives: Faulty Notions of "Tradition" in the Anti-Sealing Movement
"Following protests from animal-rights and environmental groups, the EU banned sealskin trading, disrupting and sometimes devastating the economies of indigenous Arctic groups. This paper shows that the EU ban is based on an unrealistic, romantic definition of 'traditional hunting.'" (Grete K. Hovelsrud-Broda, Active Voices: The On-line Journal of Cultural Survival. Adapted from Research in Economic Anthropology 18).

(David R. Klein, Information North 20(3). Arctic Institute of North America, 1994).
