註釋This report presents the results of research documenting the harvests and uses of wild foods in Birch Creek, Alaska during the calendar year 2018. Information for this report was gathered through a census of household surveys and semi-structured interviews with knowledgeable key respondents. Three of the four key respondent interviews were conducted in Fairbanks in January 2020. Respondents in these interviews included three current Birch Creek residents and two former Birch Creek residents who now reside in Fairbanks. This research focused on the harvest amounts, uses, and sharing of all wild resources by the community. Information gathered also includes demographics, income, food security, the assessment of recent availability of resources, and areas used to search for subsistence resources in 2018. Birch Creek is a small community located in the Yukon Flats of Interior Alaska on Birch Creek River, a tributary of the Yukon River. The majority of Birch Creek residents are of Dendu Gwich'in descent and are members of the Birch Creek Tribe. Residents of Birch Creek, like those of all Yukon Flats communities, rely on subsistence resources and they participate in a variety of traditional subsistence harvest activities that vary by season. This is the first comprehensive subsistence harvest and use survey conducted in Birch Creek; the results presented here are considered baseline information that can be used in the future to compare if and how subsistence harvest and use patterns change over time.
