Abstract: The Buckland Family Networks Project, Phase I, aims to document and analyze the interplay between subsistence activities and social networks in the Inupiaq community of Buckland, Alaska.

ISER will have primary responsibility for key informant interviews administered to each household in the community. ISER will have primary responsibility for key informant interviews and oral histories, while ADF&G will take the lead in conducting subsistence harvest surveys. ISER staff will clean and prepare the survey data for analysis. A more extensive analysis of social networks, based on data collected in Phase I, will be completed in Phase II.
