Arctic Circle

This site offers a variety of information along three themes that are crucial to the future of the people, land, and waters of the Arctic and Subarctic region: natural resources, history and culture, and social equity and environmental justice. Resources include a broad range of textual materials, art, photographic exhibits, and occasional sound and short video recordings. All demonstrate the interconnectedness of these three themes, including how they have been shaped by diverse histories, political economies, and cultural perspectives. The virtual classroom presents a series of case studies comparing the environmental, social, and cultural impact of large scale natural resource development in various regions of the North.
