Abstract
This paper aims to review Paul Nadasdy's Hunters and Bureaucrats: Power, Knowledge and Aboriginal-State Relations in the Southwest Yukon. This book details the process of (a failed attempt of) knowledge integration regarding declining Dall Sheep populations in the Ruby Range. Nadasdy's work combines a solid ethnographic description of Athabascan-speaking Kluane people with a refined analysis based on STS and political ecological perspectives. Against the popularity of co-management projects and "success stories" of knowledge integration, Nadasdy offers critical perspectives toward TEK regime in the Yukon Territory. His argument is that TEK regime actually disempowers indigenous peoples due to "compartmentalization" and "distilment" of their lived experiences. Knowledge integration means, he argues, TEK is modified in such a way that is useful to wildlife scientists and natural resource managers. Even when the estimation of present situations differed between Native and non-Native stakeholders because of their different worldviews, co-management regime was not prepared to make sure that such different epistemologies and ontologies were properly represented and, more importantly, acted upon.
