Ayer y hoy de las sociedades autóctonas de la región Sahtu, en los territorios del noroeste de Canadá: Reseña de algunos impactos ambientales

Abstract

Globalization is an economic, cultural, social or political phenomenon or process that, in order to establish itself in foreign but desired societies, transmits ideas, signs and symbols whose objective is to expand and intensify economic and social relations. This process, economically, is characterized by the consumption of products made, manufactured and manufactured by the dominant society. This essay aims to show certain impacts generated by the so-called Western culture in groups that were in a hunter-gatherer stage until about fifty years ago, although the process began in the current Sahtu region about two hundred years ago. Assimilating cultures and consuming foreign merchandise has not been an easy path for the Dene residents in the valley of the Mackenzie River and the lakes near this channel; likewise, it will not be in the short term.
