Answer to Question 1

The long lot system assigns long, narrow strips, or rows, of land that front on a river or road. Farmers build their houses along the rivers or roads, which ensures that each farmer has access to transportation. The metes and bounds system (measurements and boundaries) marks property boundaries based on markers such as trees, rocks, rivers, roads, and field stakes, as well as direction and distance to the next marker.

Answer to Question 2

The Inuit residents of Salluit have experienced mudslides and ground instability due to melting permafrost. Winter starts late and ends early, there is decreased snow accumulation and sea ice, and there are noticed changes in the behavior of staple species, as well as the introduction of new species that have not been seen in the region before.
This has led to hunting becoming more difficult and dangerous, contributed to a loss of traditional knowledge, and undermines traditional sharing practices.
The change from local, hunted or harvested foods to store-bought foods has had an economic impact as well as one on health for the community.
Climate change is also making it more difficult for the Sallumiut (Inuit of Salluit) to pass on traditional knowledge that is based on the traditional climate patterns.
