This chapter applies Karl Weick’s notion of sense-making to an Indigenous setting—the Inuit population of East Greenland. The chapter explores Indigenous sense-making of nature by analysing Indigenous traditions of hunting and harvesting polar bears. It identifies three principles that guide this practice: one relating to governance, another to rewards, and finally one that pertains to insurance. The chapter considers these three principles and evaluates their ability to contribute to our understanding of sustainability and a post-growth economy.

摘要

This chapter applies Karl Weick’s notion of sense-making to an Indigenous setting—the Inuit population of East Greenland. The chapter explores Indigenous sense-making of nature by analysing Indigenous traditions of hunting and harvesting polar bears. It identifies three principles that guide this practice: one relating to governance, another to rewards, and finally one that pertains to insurance. The chapter considers these three principles and evaluates their ability to contribute to our understanding of sustainability and a post-growth economy.
