NANA Protecting Subsistence, Providing for Tomorrow Red Dog Mine Subsistence Committee N ANA lands include Red Dog Mine. Red Dog respects regional subsistence priorities. With Teck, NANA formed a subsistence committee to help guide mine operations. The committee is made up of hunters and Elders from Noatak and Kivalina, the two communities closest to the mine. The subsistence committee acts independently, but collectively, in alignment with Iñupiat Iļitqusiat. They work together. They share their traditional knowledge. They practice Iñupiaq ways of consensus, collaboration and communication. They honor Iñupiaq values, including responsibility to tribe. The committee meets four times a year with the mine’s management committee. They receive updates on key projects. They discuss all possible effects of mine operations on subsistence activities. The mine’s operators listen to the committee for their guidance in subsistence. The committee’s role is advisory—they are advisors, not decision-makers. The committee does not endorse projects. The goal of the subsistence committee is to reduce the mine’s impact on the environment. With committee guidance, Red Dog has implemented strict environmental policies.
