Accepted Paper:
Co-Management, Nested Governance, and Segmentary Lineages.
Thomas Thornton
(University of Alaska Southeast)
Paper short abstract:
Nested governance is a key requisite for (co)management at larger scales. Among Indigenous peoples, segmentary lineages can be important for of multi-scale mobilization, potentially at odds with nested units. Can the two be reconciled? We evaluate the case of Glacier Bay National Park/Preserve.
Paper long abstract:
Nested governance (Ostrom 1990) is seen as a key requisite for successful (co)management and conservation of common pool resources at larger scales. Among Indigenous peoples, segmentary lineages (spatio-temporal units) in sociopolitical organization can also be an important component of multi-scale mobilization, sometimes working at odds with modern geographically nested units (community, region, state, etc.), and thus viewed as undermining cooperative management . Can the two be reconciled? We look at examples from two ends of Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve, an iconic conservation landscape and World Heritage Site seeking to embrace co-management with Alaskan and Interior Canadian Tlingit and related peoples.
