ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Acknowledgements The Environment Department (Environment) of BHP Billiton Diamonds Inc (BHP Billiton) at EKATI Diamond Mine (EKATI) was of great assistance to the project. The Elders Advisory Group and BHP Billiton thank the elders and the community of Kugluktuk, and the Kitikmeot Inuit Association (KIA) for their participation. Marion Bolt did an admirable job of translating during the workshop. The English version of this report has been adapted into a plain language version which will be translated into Inuinnaktun. The plain language version for this year is accompanied by the translated version of last year’s (2005-2006) report, thanks to the hard work of Helen Enogaloak, Jane Taipana and Annie Kellogok of Kugluktuk, with much assistance from the elders of the community. The lag in translation has been because translators are not readily available. We will do our best to ensure that this year’s report and all future materials are translated. Photos taken during 2006 visits to the EKATI mine site and at the March 2007 workshop in Kugluktuk are by Vivian Banci, unless otherwise acknowledged.

Faite de vermeil, elle mesure 4 pieds de hauteur et pèse environ 18 livres. Ses quatre faces représentent respectivement la couronne royale, les armoiries de la Nouvelle Écosse, le grand sceau actuel de la province (celui conféré avant la Confédération) et la silhouette d’un Président vêtu de ses habits officiels. Sont également gravés sur la masse la fleur de mai, emblème floral de la Nouvelle Écosse, et le chardon écossais. La masse a été fabriquée en Angleterre par Elkington and Company, Limited. M. et Mme Harris souhaitaient que leur don de la masse reste anonyme. Le premier ministre de l’époque a respecté leur désir, mais a demandé que leur legs puisse être reconnu ultérieurement au moyen d’une inscription gravée sur la masse. Par conséquent, dans son testament, le juge en chef a chargé ses exécuteurs de faire graver l’inscription suivante sur la masse et d’assumer les coûts des travaux à même sa succession : « Cette masse fut présentée à la Chambre d’assemblée de la province de la Nouvelle Écosse par l’honorable Robert E.

    Perry River Project Taped at Gjoa Haven September 2003 Don & Annie Magaknak (English) Interviewer: David Pelly Interpreter: David Qirqut Transcribed by: Ben Kogvik Q Today is September 9, 2003. He said his name is David Pelly and he will be conducting the interview. This interview will be about the move from Perry River to Gjoa Haven. The inteviewees will be Don and Annie Magaknak from Gjoa Haven and I’m David Qirqut who will be interpreting. He said that first of all, he wants to ask you about the forms that you signed whether you understand them, that’s what he wants to find out. DM Yes, we understand them. Q He said that when you are being taped about this, it’s up to you if you want to ask any questions, you may do so. DM Yes, I don’t know, but what we’ve gone through seems quite clear, though some parts I’ve probably forgotten, because we as Inuit don’t write things down. We forget some sections, but some things we never forget, so it should be okay. Q He said that if it’s okay he wants to ask Annie first what her birth date is, if she can say where she was born, also if she can say who her parents are. AM Yes, should I say when I was born first? Q It doesn’t matter which order you say them in. AM I was born there where the first trading post was, Where is it, here? DM Yes. Q What was the name of it? DM Where is it again? AM Perry River? Q Perry River? AM Yes.

  • Political Family Tree: Kinship in Canada’S Parliament
    Canadian eview V olume 41, No. 1 Political Family Tree: Kinship in Canada’s Parliament 2 CANADIAN PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW/SPRING 2017 The current Mace of the Nova Scotia House of Assembly has been in use since it was gifted to the House on March 5, 1930 by Chief Justice Robert Edward Harris, the fourteenth Chief Justice of the Province and his wife. It is silver gilt, measuring four feet in height and weighs approximately 18 pounds. The four sides of the Mace depict the Royal Crown, the Armorial Achievement of Nova Scotia, the present (before Confederation) Great Seal of the Province, and the Speaker in his robes of office. Also found on the Mace is the floral emblem of Nova Scotia, the mayflower and the Scottish thistle. The Mace was manufactured in England by Elkington and Company, Limited. The Chief Justice and Mrs. Harris wanted to remain anonymous donors of the Mace, but the Premier, in agreeing to this, requested that someday a suitable inscription be made on the Mace. Thus, in his will the Chief Justice directed his executors to have the Mace engraved with the following inscription and to pay the cost for the engraving out of his estate: “This mace was presented to the House of Assembly of the Province of Nova Scotia by the Hon. Robert E. Harris, Chief Justice of Nova Scotia, and Mrs. Harris, March 1930”. The Chief Justice passed away on May 30, 1931. Annette M. Boucher Assistant Clerk 2 CANADIAN PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW/SPRING 2017 Kudryashka/Shutterstock.com/790257076 The Canadian Parliamentary Review was founded in 1978 to inform Canadian legislators about activities of the federal, provincial and territorial branches of the Canadian Region of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association and to promote the study of and interest in Canadian parliamentary institutions.

  • The Fur Trade in the Kitikmeot Region of Nunavut
    “The Government of Nunavut shall seek agreements, contracts and treaties with governments, self-government authorities and land claim organizations in Kalaallit Nunaat (Greenland), Nunavik, Labrador and the Inuvialuit Settlement Area to co-operate on matters of language policy with an aim to promoting and strengthening the status of Inuktitut as a language of communication among regions of the circumpolar world.” Recommendations regarding changes to the Official anguagesL Act. Submitted to the Special Committee of the Legislative Assembly reviewing the Official anguagesL Act, January 18, 2002. Office fo the Languages Commissioner of Nunavut, Eva Aariak Iqaluktuuq Project Project Summary During the summer of 2002, The Kitikmeot Heritage Society (KHS) will begin its third year of oral history recording at Iqaluktuuq. The recording will occur in conjunction with the archaeological work of Dr. Max Friesen, University of Toronto. The KHS will work with the Elders and a co-researcher to record the oral traditions of the Elders during an approximately five day period at the Iqaluktuuq site. This information will be used to construct the history and prehistory of the Inuit who used the Iqaluktuuq site. It will also give us a very detailed glimpse into the lives of the Copper Inuit, whose culture until now, has been poorly documented. Students will be hired to work with the Elders and researchers. This will give the students the opportunity to take part in an Inuinnaqtun language immersion experience and will allow them to learn traditional skills. Students will also see how Inuit traditional knowledge can be married with modern scientific archaeology to produce richer and more accurate research results.
