“…This review shows how PAR has been used in Inuit studies since 2000. The most active PAR users have been Canadians, followed by Americans, a finding in line with the results of two scoping reviews of Arctic participatory research: Brunet et al (2014) and Davies et al (2021, p. 708). In Canada, Indigenous-defined and Indigenous-controlled research approaches have been stimulated since the 1970s by the politicization of Indigenous organizations and their responses to the colonial policies.…”

“…When Mosurska and Ford (2020) reviewed the literature of participatory and community-based research in Alaska, particularly on the concepts of community and participation, they concluded that not enough consideration was given to community heterogeneity. Davis, Ford, Quinn, IHACC Research Team, and Harper (2021) conducted a systematic scoping review to identify and evaluate how the participatory approach had been used to model climate-sensitive processes in the Arctic, and to what extent the data collection had been participatory. They found a higher level of participation in studies that favoured non-Western types of knowledge.…”

“…All three literature reviews had different objectives and scopes. Some covered only the English-language literature (Brunet et al, 2014; Mosurska & Ford, 2020), while others covered studies published in other languages about the Circumpolar North (Davis et al, 2021). Some were country-specific (Mosurska & Ford, 2020), and others targeted more than one circumpolar country (Brunet et al, 2014; Davis et al, 2021).…”

“…PAR shares the same principles with community-based research, community-based participatory research and other forms of participatory or action research. Much expertise has been accumulated in participatory research with other Arctic Indigenous peoples(Brunet et al 2014;Davis et al 2021;Mosurska & Ford 2020;Ryan & Robinson 1990). The Arctic Institute of North America (AINA) and the Arctic Institute of Community-Based Research (AICBR) have developed many research projects with Arctic Indigenous peoples, and some of them deal specifically with the Inuit.…”

Participatory action research with Inuit societies: A scoping review

Participatory methods have become essential for research with Indigenous Arctic peoples. To understand how researchers use such methods, we conducted a scoping review of participatory action research (PAR)—a classic qualitative methodology—with Inuit communities. Although other systematic reviews exist on participatory methodologies in the Arctic, our scoping review is the only one focusing only on the Inuit. We reviewed 11 empirical studies published between 2000 and 2019 in peer-reviewed journals. Most of them had been conducted with Canadian Inuit. Although the authors came from a variety of disciplines, the studies were mostly about the health and well-being of Inuit communities. The authors did not use the same definition of PAR, but their definitions did share some key components: Inuit participation, Inuit engagement and a goal of social change. There were also a variety of methodologies of research and forms of Inuit participation, although the photovoice method was frequent. Scoping reviews are most often used in the natural sciences. This one was a challenge because we were using it in the social sciences and because it concerned PAR, an approach with different definitions and uses. A remaining question is how to assess such a method, either by peers or by other stakeholders.

In conducting Arctic field research, hiring local field guides has long been a necessity for providing field teams with local knowledge and fundamental needs of boat operation and navigation, general field logistics/safety, and traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) of local animal distribution and natural history. As new threats to Arctic wildlife emerge and as field research methods evolve, including local Inuit as long-standing members of research teams has provided additional collaborative benefits through expanded local knowledge, greater efficiency of data collection, and longer temporal sampling which provides the opportunity to study uncommon events. We describe the collaboration between southern-based scientists and local Inuit from the community of Pangnirtung, Nunavut, to conduct field research on marine mammals in Cumberland Sound from 1997 to 2021. Through a keen interest in marine mammal field research, Inuit partners in Pangnirtung have become highly proficient in all aspects of sample and data collection and have received advanced technical training to allow for an expanded role in achieving research objectives. This expanded role includes running field research operations independently, as well as the extensive use of drones to capture photographs of whales for the purposes of photographic-identification and to record behavior. Collaboration with local Inuit also provides benefits through employment opportunities, development of technical skills, and opportunities to actively participate in research that aims to conserve culturally important local wildlife populations.

This paper presents the results of a community survey that was designed to better understand the effects of permafrost degradation and coastal erosion on civil infrastructure. Observations were collected from residents in four Arctic coastal communities: Point Lay, Wainwright, Utqiaġvik, and Kaktovik. All four communities are underlain by continuous ice-rich permafrost with varying degrees of degradation and coastal erosion. The types, locations, and periods of observed permafrost thaw and coastal erosion were elicited. Survey participants also reported the types of civil infrastructure being affected by permafrost degradation and coastal erosion and any damage to residential buildings. Most survey participants reported that coastal erosion has been occurring for a longer period than permafrost thaw. Surface water ponding, ground surface collapse, and differential ground settlement are the three types of changes in ground surface manifested by permafrost degradation that are most frequently reported by the participants, while houses are reported as the most affected type of infrastructure in the Arctic coastal communities. Wall cracking and house tilting are the most commonly reported types of residential building damage. The effects of permafrost degradation and coastal erosion on civil infrastructure vary between communities. Locations of observed permafrost degradation and coastal erosion collected from all survey participants in each community were stacked using heatmap data visualization. The heatmaps constructed using the community survey data are reasonably consistent with modeled data synthesized from the scientific literature. This study shows a useful approach to coproduce knowledge with Arctic residents to identify locations of permafrost thaw and coastal erosion at higher spatial resolution as well as the types of infrastructure damage of most concern to Arctic residents.
