Voices project work was conducted in partnership with the participating communtities. Interviews were conducted along four main themes:

• Elders (long-term changes in resources and conditions on land)
• Leaders (resilience of communities and adaptive capacity) 
• Active hunters (present ecological conditions and challenges to meet their needs) 
• Youth (future of the Caribou-People)

In the summer of 2008, field work and video-documentation was carried out in following communities across North America:

• Anaktuvuk Pass, Alaska
• Old Crow, Yukon Territory
• Wekweeti (Snare Lake), Northwest Territories
• Lutsel K'e (Snowdrift), Northwest Territories
• Arviat, Nunavut
• Kawawachikamach, Quebec

Elders, active hunters, community leaders, women and youth were interviewed in each participating community. Total 97 interviews were conducted, in which the community residents talked about their way of life in wake of a rapidly changing world, noted observations about perceived changes about caribou as well as caribou hunting and uses, and expressed concerns regarding their future. In most cases, participants expressed satisfaction in not being treated as subjects of research but rather as having their voices presented without modification or a third-party critique.  Strong local leadership was a key condition for successfully engaging communities in the project.  The voices of caribou people illustrate that communities share many similarities and some differences in the challenges they face.  These challenges include the ubiquitous problem of increased energy costs, greater extractive development activities in homelands, and some problems of engaging youth in traditional pursuits.  A willingness to engage fully in extractive development activities appears associated with a long history of development activities in the region.  The Voices of Caribou People Project is in progress and its impact is not yet evaluated.
