Description: This report presents information about subsistence uses of fish, wildlife, and plant resources in Lime Village, Interior Alaska. This is the first harvest assessment survey for this community since a compilation of qualitative harvest data was completed in 1983. The Alaska Department of Fish and Game Division of Subsistence conducted the project in collaboration with Stephen R. Braund & Associates as part of a multiyear, multiphase study in a region of Southwest Alaska being considered for the development of a large scale mine. The Pebble Project is a mineral deposit in an advanced exploration stage located near Frying Pan Lake, which is 100 miles south of Lime Village. The Pebble Project requires updated baseline information about subsistence harvests and uses. Information was collected through systematic household surveys and mapping interviews conducted with the informed consent of the community. Also as part of the informed consent process, researchers presented preliminary project findings to the community for its review. In total, 7 households were interviewed, 64% of the year-round resident households. The project documented the continuing importance of subsistence hunting, fishing, and gathering to the residents of Lime Village. In 2007, every household participated in subsistence activities and used wild resources. Subsistence harvests are large and diverse.
