This paper applies Karl Wieck’s notion of sense-making to an Indigenous setting — the Indigenous Inuit population of East Greenland. The paper explores Indigenous sense-making of nature by analyzing Indigenous traditions of hunting and harvesting polar bears. The paper identifies three principles that guide this practice: one relating to governance, another to rewards, and finally one that pertains to insurance. The paper considers these three principles and evaluates their ability to contribute to our understanding of sustainability and a post-growth economy.
