Arctic Studies Program Bowdoin College is located along the North Atlantic coast, a region extending into the Arctic and characterized as one of the most dynamic and challenging environments in the world. For over 10,000 years small-scale societies (e.g., Inuit, Norse, Innu, Sámi, Wabanaki, Euro-American settlers) have made a living along northern North Atlantic shores. They have responded and reacted to shifts in the climate and environment, and to local, regional, and global events and cultural developments. By studying their successes and failures we can better understand complex human-environment-climate relationships and identify attitudes, strategies, and skills that make a people resilient and resourceful –characteristics we need to nurture in future generations.
