Country Food Sharing Networks, Household Structure, and Implications for Understanding Food Insecurity in Arctic Canada Peter Collingsa, Meredith G
ECOLOGY OF FOOD AND NUTRITION http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/03670244.2015.1072812 Country food sharing networks, household structure, and implications for understanding food insecurity in Arctic Canada Peter Collingsa, Meredith G. Martena, Tristan Pearceb, and Alyson G. Youngc aDepartment of Anthropology, University of Florida, Florida, USA; bUniversity of the Sunshine Coast, Sippy Downs, Australia; cDepartment of Anthropology, University of Florida, Florida, USA ABSTRACT KEYWORDS We examine the cultural context of food insecurity among Food security; food sharing; Inuit in Ulukhaktok, Northwest Territories, Canada. An analysis industrial foods; Inuit; of the social network of country food exchanges among 122 traditional foods households in the settlement reveals that a household’s betweenness centrality—a measure of brokerage—in the country food network is predicted by the age of the house- hold. The households of married couples were better posi- tioned within the sharing network than were the households of single females or single males. Households with an active hunter or elder were also better positioned in the network. The households of single men and women appear to experience limited access to country food, a considerable problem given the increasing number of single-adult households over time. We conclude that the differences between how single women and single men experience constrained access to country foods may partially account for previous findings that single women in arctic settlements appear to be at particular risk for food insecurity. Introduction For many Canadian Inuit, country foods—foods acquired by hunting, fish- ing, trapping, or collecting—remain central to their diets despite decades of social, economic, and political changes. -

I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the head of my department or by his or her representatives.

Department of The University of British Columbia 1956 Main Mall Vancouver, Canada V6T 1Y3 DE-6 (3/81) ABSTRACT This paper discusses community resistance to the imposition of an external industrial socio-economic system and the destruction of a distinctive land-based way of life. It shows how historically Inuvialuit independence has been eroded by contact with the external economic system and the assimilationist policies of the government. In spite of these pressures, however, the Inuvialuit have struggled to retain their culture and their land-based economy. This thesis shows that hunting and trapping continue to be viable and to contribute significant income, both cash and income- in-kind to the community. -

Priorities for Land Use and Development in the Northwest
PUBLIC OPINION RESEARCH BRIEF Priorities for Land Use and Development in the Northwest Territories Highlights from a telephone survey of NWT residents conducted November 4-9, 2015 for Ducks Unlimited by Ekos Research Public Opinion Brief: Priorities for Land Use and Development in the NWT - 2015 INTRODUCTION This research brief summarizes the results of a random digit dial telephone poll of NWT residents conducted for Ducks Unlimited Canada by the professional polling firm Ekos Research Associates. The poll interviewed a representative sample of 456 aboriginal and non-aboriginal residents by landline and cellphone November 4-9, 2015. A random sample of 456 is considered accurate to within ±4.59% 19 times out of 20. Interviews were carried out in communities across the region, including the following: Aklavik Fort Resolution Tsiigehtchic Behchokò Fort Simpson Tuktoyaktuk Colville Lake Fort Smith Tulita Déline Gamètì Ulukhaktok Enterprise Hay River Wekweètì Fort Good Hope Inuvik Whatì Fort Liard Lutselk'e Yellowknife Fort McPherson Norman Wells Fort Providence Paulatuk SURVEY FINDINGS Page 2 Public Opinion Brief: Priorities for Land Use and Development in the NWT - 2015 1. In the NWT today, cost of living and the environment are the issues foremost in the public mind, followed by economic development and jobs. To identify the issues most salient to the public, the first question on the survey asked NWT residents to name what they felt was the most important issues affecting the NWT, unaided, without prompting or pre-set answers. Results suggest that the top-of-mind issues for NWT residents are cost of living (24%) and the environment (20%), each eliciting more mentions than any other issue. -

Restrictions on Seismic Cut Lines and Cash Bonus Bidding. These Discussions with Canada Have Not Pro Gressed
restrictions on seismic cut lines and cash bonus bidding. These discussions with Canada have not pro gressed. On February 16, 2009, the Grand Chief received a letter from INAC which threatens to terminate the IRDA, along with the annual royalty payouts to the DFN, if there is no agreement by September 2009 to allow a new cycle of petroleum exploration. If agreement cannot be reached with Canada on terms and conditions for new exploration licenses the DFN may consider moving on their own to initiate a competitive bidding process to determine appropri ate terms and conditions for new exploration. In April. 2009 the Leadership passed a resolution calling for a renewed effort by both the DFN and Can ada to find agreement on terms and conditions for a new petroleum exploration cycle. DFN representa tives then held a meeting with INAC officials in September. 2009. At that meeting we confirmed that: • the DFN remain committed to the objective of having a new petroleum exploration rights issu ance cycle as soon as possible: • as set out in the IRDA, in order to meet this objective it is necessary for INAC and the DFN to jointly develop terms and conditions for the right issuance: and • DFN remain committed to working in good faith to find common ground on terms and condi tions. We also asked INAC to provide us with a written response to DFN concerns regarding: - exploration parcel sizes: - air and water emission standards: and - restrictions on seismic cut lines. Following the September. 2009 meeting the Grand Chief wrote to Minister Strahl confirming that the DFN are prepared to hold discussions on terms and conditions for new exploration. -

PAULATUK COMMUNITY CONSERVATION PLAN Paulatuum Angalatchivingit Niryutinik A plan for the conservation and management of renewable resources and lands within The Inuvialuit Settlement Region in the vicinity of Paulatuk, Northwest Territories Prepared by The Paulatuk Hunters and Trappers Committee, Paulatuk Community Corporation, and The Wildlife Management Advisory Council (NWT), The Fisheries Joint Management Committee and the Joint Secretariat 2016 2 Paulatuk Community Conservation Plan – 2016 Nelson Allen Green October 8, 1948 - January 9, 1999 His magical aspirations are very visible. Along with his stern beliefs which are deeply embedded. His love of the land and wildlife, and of which he stands for. The utmost dedication in which he has given. We are forever in gratitude. For this, we give you in your honour, the Paulatuk Conservation Plan. - Ruben Green Paulatuk Community Conservation Plan - 2016 3 “Conservation is ensuring that if we take caribou, there will be caribou the next year and the year after that. The same for anything else. This applies to all uses of the land: if it is used and enjoyed now, it must be left and preserved so that it will be there for the next year and for future years.” Peter Green, Original Paulatuk Conservation Working Group “This plan has been well thought out, using traditional knowledge. We are the ones who know the area, as well as the different seasons, and the times of when different animals migrate. We’ve always hunted with the thought of using it wisely. These things are very important to our future and us.” Edward Ruben, Paulatuk Elder June 2016 4 Paulatuk Community Conservation Plan – 2016 The 2016 Paulatuk Community Conservation Plan has been prepared in consultation with the lnuvialuit Community in Paulatuk and lnuvialuit and non-lnuvialuit bodies with an interest in the area.
