Abstract
This historical study describes how habitat changes and fluctuating wildlife populations during the century after the arrival of Europeans in the 1830s affected Ingalik subsistence. While primarily dependent on salmon fishing, the Ingalik also greatly relied upon hunting large and small game animals. Excessive trapping combined with ecological variations and changing economic circumstances are shown to have been responsible for the decline in the fur trade apparent during the last two decades of the nineteenth century.
