This Note examines the Inuit Circumpolar Council Alaska’s project to achieve Inuit food sovereignty through cooperative agreements between tribal, state, and federal agencies for the co-management of Arctic food resources. The Note employs approaches from political ecology and critical race theory to evaluate risks of Native participation in co-management and identify means to mitigate the colonial tendencies of American law and environmental policy. Ultimately, it offers power sharing and ontological hybridity as criteria for “true co-management,” the form of cooperative resource management that affirms tribal sovereignty. The Notes locates both criteria within the Inuit Circumpolar Council’s framework.
