  • Modelling Population Mobility in Southern Baffin Island's Past
    MODELLING POPULATION MOBILITY IN SOUTHERN BAFFIN ISLAND’S PAST USING GIS AND LANDSCAPE ARCHAEOLOGY by Jeffrey Phillip Stup A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Department of Anthropology University of Manitoba Winnipeg, Manitoba Copyright © 2015 by Jeffrey Phillip Stup Abstract Evidence of chert stone tools on southern Baffin Island of Canada dates back thousands of years, yet most of these materials are found far from coastal areas of use. In the central interior lakes region of Baffin Island, chert can be found but this area is extremely remote and hard to access. If past human populations moved inland from the coast to acquire chert toolstone and pursue seasonally specific subsistence-related activities, many archaeological sites should exist between these respective locales. Historically, it has been difficult to locate such intermediate sites given the expansive of the landscape and the logistical challenges of surveying it. In this study, free and open-source geospatial data were used in geographic information systems (GIS) to predict archaeological site formation and potential inland travel routes. The models created link the archaeologically dense coastal and inland regions. These were constructed with a landscape archaeology theoretical approach and validated by comparisons to Inuit ethnographic accounts of interior-bound pathways. A new archaeological-GIS method was created, using a flood allocation function on a ‘humanistic’ cost surface. This ‘mobility-shed’ method generates vast networks of areas most conducive to human movement, aids in solving problems about past human population movements for Baffin Island history, for an ongoing chert provenance study, and will lead to future research through ground-truthing and more in-depth geospatial studies.

Il Résumé La densité de familles de la Grande Oie des neiges a augmenté récemment dans les milieux mésiques et secs de l'île Bylot, Nunavut (Canada). Ces milieux qui représentent environ 90% de la plaine sud de l'île sont aussi utilisés, parfois intensément, par les lemmings. Cette étude est la première à caractériser la végétation de ces milieux et à quantifier l'utilisation faite par ces principaux herbivores. L'utilisation et la sélection des habitats humides et mésiques par les familles d'oies ont également été étudiées via des décomptes d'oies. Dix communautés végétales ont été identifiées en 2000 et 2001. Leur couvert total de végétation était élevé (>95%), à l'exception de deux communautés végétales xériques.

  • Diamond Mining and Tłįchǫ Youth in Behchokǫ̀, Northwest Territories
    ARCTIC VOL. 65, NO. 2 (JUNE 2012) P. 214 – 228 All That Glitters: Diamond Mining and Tłįchǫ Youth in Behchokǫ,̀ Northwest Territories COLLEEN M. DAVISON1 and PENELOPE HAWE2 (Received 5 March 2010; accepted in revised form 23 September 2011) ABSTRACT. Currently, Canada’s northern territories have three active diamond mines and one mine under construction, and one mine has recently closed. In response to local concerns, and in partnership with members of the Tłįchǫ First Nation, this ethnographic study examines the positive and detrimental impacts of diamond mining on youth in Behchokǫ,̀ Northwest Territories, using data collected from intensive fieldwork and participant observation, focus groups, interviews, and archival documents. The study of mining impacts remains a complex and contested field. Youth in Behchokǫ̀ experience both negative and positive effects of mining. Diamond mining companies are places of employment and act as community resources; their development has influenced the transience of individuals in the region, the identity and roles of family caregivers, the motivation of students, the purpose of schooling, and the level of economic prosperity in some (but not all) families. The diverse impacts of these changes on the health of northern individuals and communities can be understood only within the broader context of social, economic, political, and environmental changes occurring in the Arctic today. Results of this study help inform ongoing efforts by those in Behchokǫ̀ and the Northwest Territories to monitor the effects of diamond mining and maximize the potential benefits for local people, including youth. Key words: Aboriginal health, youth, diamond mining, resource development, education, employment, impacts and benefits RÉSUMÉ.

  • Compendium of Research in the Northwest Territories 2014
    Compendium of Research in the Northwest Territories 2014 www.nwtresearch.com This publication is a collaboration between the Aurora Research Institute, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Fisheries and Oceans Canada and the Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre. Thank you to all who submitted a summary of research or photographs, and helped make this publication possible. Editor: Ashley Mercer Copyright © 2015 ISSN: 1205-3910 Printed by Aurora Research Institute Foreword Welcome to the 2014 Compendium of Research in the Northwest Territories. This year marked a special anniversary for the Aurora Research Institute and northern research. Fifty years ago, the Inuvik Research Laboratory was built and has served as a hub for research in the western arctic ever since. The Lab, as it was known, was first built as an initiative of the Canadian federal government in the newly established community of Inuvik. It remains on the same site today, but in 2011, a new modern multi-purpose facility opened to continue to support research in the north. We have included a brief history of the Lab and its impact in this edition of the Compendium to mark its long lasting importance to many researchers and community members. As part of the 50th anniversary celebration, the Aurora Research Institute team undertook a full set of NWT-wide celebrations. We celebrated the history, capacity and growth of research in the NWT that touched all corners of the territory and beyond. We honoured the significant scientific contributions that have taken place in the NWT over the past 50 years, and the role of NWT researchers, technicians and citizens in these accomplishments.

The word “Nunavut” means “Our Land” in Inuktut, the language of the Inuit, who represent 85 per cent of Nunavut’s resident’s. The creation of Nunavut as Canada’s third territory had its origins in a desire by Inuit got more say in their future. The first formal presentation of the idea – The Nunavut Proposal – was made to Ottawa in 1976. More than two decades later, in February 1999, Nunavut’s first 19 Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) were elected to a five year term. Shortly after, those MLAs chose one of their own, lawyer Paul Okalik, to be the first Premier. The resulting government is a public one; all may vote - Inuit and non-Inuit, but the outcomes reflect Inuit values.

  • Transits of the Northwest Passage to End of the 2020 Navigation Season Atlantic Ocean ↔ Arctic Ocean ↔ Pacific Ocean
    TRANSITS OF THE NORTHWEST PASSAGE TO END OF THE 2020 NAVIGATION SEASON ATLANTIC OCEAN ↔ ARCTIC OCEAN ↔ PACIFIC OCEAN R. K. Headland and colleagues 7 April 2021 Scott Polar Research Institute, University of Cambridge, Lensfield Road, Cambridge, United Kingdom, CB2 1ER. <[email protected]> The earliest traverse of the Northwest Passage was completed in 1853 starting in the Pacific Ocean to reach the Atlantic Oceam, but used sledges over the sea ice of the central part of Parry Channel. Subsequently the following 319 complete maritime transits of the Northwest Passage have been made to the end of the 2020 navigation season, before winter began and the passage froze. These transits proceed to or from the Atlantic Ocean (Labrador Sea) in or out of the eastern approaches to the Canadian Arctic archipelago (Lancaster Sound or Foxe Basin) then the western approaches (McClure Strait or Amundsen Gulf), across the Beaufort Sea and Chukchi Sea of the Arctic Ocean, through the Bering Strait, from or to the Bering Sea of the Pacific Ocean. The Arctic Circle is crossed near the beginning and the end of all transits except those to or from the central or northern coast of west Greenland. The routes and directions are indicated. Details of submarine transits are not included because only two have been reported (1960 USS Sea Dragon, Capt. George Peabody Steele, westbound on route 1 and 1962 USS Skate, Capt. Joseph Lawrence Skoog, eastbound on route 1). Seven routes have been used for transits of the Northwest Passage with some minor variations (for example through Pond Inlet and Navy Board Inlet) and two composite courses in summers when ice was minimal (marked ‘cp’).
