Draft Article on Barren-Ground Caribou Management in Canada

I'm interested in wildlife management and its impacts, and I've been especially interested in the relationship between scientists and indigenous peoples. One of the earliest attempts at co-management in Canada involved the barren ground caribou of the western arctic, and in particular, the Beverley and Kaminuriak (Qamanirjuak) herd of the central arctic. My WP article will explore this. Below there is an outline of the entire article, with one section started.

I have a sense of the whole article, but will start writing one of the middle sections first; the one on the evolution of co-management.

The evolution of co-management

The co-management of barren ground caribou began with a conflict between the Inuit of the central arctic and the scientists of the Dominion (later Canadian) Wildlife Service. In the late 1970s, both groups became concerned about the impact of increased mining activity on the health of the Beverley and Kaminuriak herds but could not agree on what measures should be taken. [REFERENCE?] Having reached an impasse, both parties agreed to participate in what became known as the Kaminuriak Caribou Herd Project, an attempt to use film as a means of facilitating communication. Under the direction of Donald Snowden of the Extension Department of Memorial University of Newfoundland, both groups filmed themselves speaking about caribou and management issues. When completed in 1981, the thirty-three films were edited and shown to audiences in communities across the central arctic.
