Arctic Subsistence: Writing Life in Authentic Alaska: Voices of Its Native Writers

本文以《道地阿拉斯加：阿拉斯加原住民發聲》的自傳與集體生命書寫形塑極地「北方的故事」，爬梳原住民面對殖民主義與環境變遷的「生計」，是為解殖民利基。極地生計是知識－實踐－信仰的複雜體系，連結物質條件及共創共生之文化意涵，開闢跨物種關係與照護政治的批判性空間。《道地阿拉斯加：阿拉斯加原住民發聲》是「記憶的照護工程」，以文化參與及跨世代銜接翻譯，回復「失落的話語」與「失落的世界」，重建對星球環境的集體記憶，由「生存之道」創新轉化，建立「照護團結經濟」，使極地成為冰川眾生共享的家。

This article explores Authentic Alaska: Voices of Its Native Writers, highlighting how its autobiographical and collective life writings engage with the subsistence practices of Indigenous Alaskans as they navigate the dual challenges of colonialism and environmental change. Arctic subsistence embodies a multifaceted system of knowledge, practice, and belief, linking Indigenous material realities to cultural meanings of co-creation and coexistence. These practices not only serve as a cor-nerstone for the decolonization of Indigenous Alaskan communities but also create critical discursive spaces to examine multispecies rela-tionships and the ethics of care. Authentic Alaska: Voices of Its Native Writers serves as a powerful form of“mnemonic care-work,”reimag-ining, remembering, and restoring“lost words”and“lost worlds”through cultural participation, intergenerational memory transmission, and translation. At the same time, it plays a vital role in reconstructing collective planetary memory. The collection exemplifies an ecological alliance model through which Indigenous communities confront cultural crises arising from environmental degradation, food insecurity, and biodiversity loss. By innovatively transforming traditional“ways of survival”into adaptive and forward-looking practices, the collection envisions and establishes a“caring solidarity economy.”In doing so, it redefines the Arctic as a shared home for all sentient beings, including glaciers, offering a profound vision of interconnected care, mutual responsibility, and coexistence in an era of ecological precarity.
