Promoting traditional and modern ways of lives
According to the Arctic Indigenous peoples and communities, they believe that: tradition has a long history of self-reliance and self-sufficiency, sustained through generations of traditional economies and cultural practices.
To them, they noted that: For many, living according to traditional ways of life creates a sense of cultural identity, fosters a close connection to nature and provides them with increased control over their own destiny. Sustaining their traditional ways of life, through the transfer of traditional practices, ensures that their values persist and that important social and cultural links are maintained.
As a result of factors such as globalization and climate change, the Arctic has been undergoing transformative changes on many levels, including social, cultural, environmental and economic. These changes present both challenges and opportunities to traditional ways of life in Arctic indigenous communities. And while globalization and modernization have undeniably affected the Arctic, it is important to acknowledge that traditional and modern ways of life can co-exist in ways that benefit Arctic peoples and communities. In this time of rapid change, Arctic indigenous peoples continue to demonstrate resilience and an ability to adapt. They are finding innovative ways to help ensure that traditional ways of life remain a sustainable choice.
