Ayveq Nangaghneghput - Walrus & Our Way of Life

Kawerak- hosted live-stream of the event in Washington DC called Ayveq Nangaghneghput Walrus & Our Way of Life. The live viewing was on Monday June 10th at 12pm AKST. The roundtable purposed to shed light on the cultural and economic importance of Pacific walrus, of carving walrus ivory through understanding the Inuit way of life and the sustainability; and management of walrus in a vastly changing Arctic. In 2016, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service issued a ban on the commercial trade of African elephant ivory. Six states (New York, New Jersey, California, Hawaii, Oregon, and Washington) enacted broad bans on commercial ivory impacting the market for our Inuit artists who utilize walrus ivory. Inuit leaders will share efforts to maintain their way of life and support Inuit ivory carvers.
