Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study ethnographically investigated efforts toward building a sustainable society, focusing on large scale natural resource development projects in southwest Alaska, USA. It examined the Donlin gold mining project, located on land owned by Indigenous people, and subsistence fishing targeting salmon, analyzing the strategies of local residents, governments, and development companies. By organizing their relationships and tracing shifts in their perspectives, it comprehensively explored the multifaceted vision of a sustainable society that people aim for amidst the preservation of ecology, culture, and livelihoods, and the pursuit of economic development.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

従来の北極圏における大規模資源開発に関する人類学的研究は、先住民を文化・社会・経済・政治的に均質な集団とみなし、彼らと政府や企業との不均衡な力関係を開発という文脈において考察する傾向にあった。本研究は、先住民という社会範疇にある個の多様性に留意しつつ、資源開発のステークホルダーの相互作用と、価値観の多様性を前提とする包括的な意思決定過程のあり方を示した。これにより、先住民が関与する天然資源開発を実態に即して、複眼的に理解することが可能となった。また、持続可能な社会の実現に向けた試みを考える際に、さまざまな示唆を含む事例を提供することができた。
