	High North Alliance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The High North Alliance is an umbrella organisation of several fishing, whaling and Nordic municipal councils.
		The alliance was founded in 1991 in response to calls from environmentalists and from many scientists to prohibit completely commercial whaling, and, from more radical groups, calls to prohibit the killing of marine mammals for any purpose.
		The alliance is organised by a governing committee of six members, three from Norway, and one each from the Faroe Islands, Greenland and Iceland.

	Taliban to surrender in north, alliance says - 11/23/01
		Gen. Rashid Dostum, who commands the ethnic Uzbek forces in the alliance, said after today's meeting that he would meet again with the Taliban commanders Saturday, and that he expected them to surrender Sunday and deliver foreigners fighting alongside the Taliban into the hands of the alliance.
		Alliance spokesman Ashraf Nadeem said the deal called for 5,000 alliance fighters to enter Kunduz, "possibly Saturday," to oversee the surrender.
		Alliance fighters said they feared the foreigners -- thought to number up to 3,000 -- might try to break out of the city and escape to the north or Pakistan rather than accept surrender.

		The High North Alliance, the umbrella organisation for seafaring hunters of the North Atlantic, is situated in the fishing village of Reine, just north of the Arctic Circle.
		Reine is only one of many communities in the frigid North Atlantic - from Clyde River, Baffin Island in the west to Nizimaja Zolotitsa on the White Sea in the east - where the hunting of whales and seals is a natural part of life and livelihoods.
		They did their greatest damage at a time when whale and seal oil was the major commodity for fuel, lighting and a wide range of industrial uses, which have since been entirely replaced by fossil fuels, vegetable oils and other substances.

		North Korea, brightening prospects for ending a nuclear stalemate, said yesterday it will consider President Bush's offer of written security guarantees in return for dismantling its nuclear-weapons program.
		It was the latest about-face by North Korea, which had called the offer "laughable" and "not worth considering" and has been unclear about its actions and plans during the yearlong dispute over its atomic ambitions.
		Yet they will make it more difficult for North Korean leaders and North Korean police to justify what they do, both to themselves and their families, and more difficult to claim that they bear no responsibility for what is happening in their country.

	The Makah Whale Hunt - ExploreNorth
		There is no dispute about the fact that whale populations in the North Pacific (and most other parts of the world) were decimated during the "Golden Age" of whaling in the late 19th Century.
		To the huge whale-watching industry along the British Columbia and Alaska coasts, the loss of a relatively small number of gray whales may not be noticed in a physical sense - however, the negative publicity caused by the hunt could be very costly to coastal communities such as Tofino, British Columbia.
		The High North Alliance was formed to "defend the right of coastal communities to utilize marine mammals sustainably," but all sides of the debate are presented on their Web site, using a very interesting "chain-of-logic" design.

		For the Inuit people living in the polar regions of North America, whaling is a way of life, a central part of their culture that provides a vital source of protein in their diet.
		The remoteness of the Inuit has made it easier for them to hold on to their traditional ways than aboriginal peoples to the south - in many reserves, imported shop-bought food and western traditions have caused major changes in lifestyles and cultures.
		Over-reliance on processed high-fat foods is believed to be one major factor behind a rapid increase in diabetes among North American native populations.
