  • The History and Historiography of Natural Resource Development in the Arctic: the State of the Literature
    The History and Historiography of Natural Resource Development in the Arctic: The State of the Literature Ken Coates, University of Saskatchewan 2014 GAP ANALYSIS REPORT 1 K. Coates History of Resource Development in the Arctic The History and Historiography of Natural Resource Development in the Arctic: The State of the Literature Ken Coates, University of Saskatchewan Natural resource development is a prominent and controversial topic in the Far North. While media attention focuses largely on the potential for oil and natural gas discoveries – the extension of the Norway-Russia extraction frontier to North American Arctic waters – the active exploration for and development of mineral deposits has come to feature prominently in the region. For the Governments of Nunavut, Northwest Territories and Yukon, and for the communities across the territorial and provincial Arctic regions, the prospect for economic and social improvements based on cooperative exploitation of natural resources is viewed as an important part of the political puzzle in the North. The recent developments, however, build on a long and complicated history of resource development, albeit one marked more by hope and promise that practical results. This report focuses on the history of the Canadian Arctic and does not examine developments in other parts of the Arctic. The Canadian situation, understandably, reflects the realities of the Canadian North, national and territorial policies, and the actions of corporations active in Canada. The analysis shows that historical research to date has focused on government policies and the macro-level study of the mining sector. Only recently have scholars turned their attentions to the central concern of the ReSDA project, namely the impact of resource developments on communities and methods and approaches that might improve community benefits from resource development.

  • Reflections on the Evolution of Legal Systems in the Canadian North
    Commentary Refl ections on the Evolution of Legal Systems in the Canadian North Ken Coates* Th ere is a tendency, perhaps primarily among non-lawyers and the general public, to see the law—and justice, its apparent near synonym—as fi xed and unchanging concepts. Th ere is a general belief that certain actions, such as murder and robbery, are inherently wrong and are unacceptable in all societies at all times. We know that laws, legal processes, and punitive systems are created to provide structure for the regulation, control, and sanctioning of human behaviour, and, in the process, to keep a society safe, secure, and untroubled. Th is seems relatively straightforward. Th e reality, of course, is far more complicated. As societies change and become more diverse, the law morphs into something much more intricate. Working with my colleagues on this special issue of the Northern Review focused on law in the Canadian North brought home the importance of understanding the broader contexts of the law and legal processes. For practitioners, the nature of the law has true immediacy and signifi cant real-world consequences, and must be understood in terms of existing processes, effi ciencies, strengths, and weaknesses. For academics immersed in the theory and concepts such as cross- cultural equity, fairness, and eff ectiveness, the law and legal systems are to be investigated and challenged. Both exercises are valuable, for the system must be managed and adjusted appropriately while the larger questions are explored. *Ken Coates, Johnson Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy, University of Saskatchewan The Northern Review 50 (2020): 235–244 https://doi.org/10.22584/nr50.2020.012 235 Modern legal systems are remarkably convoluted, addressing human behaviour, corporate activities, and government–individual and government to government relationships.

  • Circumpolar Innovation
    Truly Open Online Course: Circumpolar Innovation Course Description Nations around the world have identified innovation as being the cornerstone of economic competitiveness and critical to everything from job creation to environmental sustainability. Comparatively little effort, however, has been made to develop the research capabilities, highly qualified personnel, and commercial environments necessary to promote northern economic and social development. Circumpolar Innovation examines the manner in which scientific and technological innovation, or the commercialization of technology-based products and services, is shaping the Circumpolar world. This course looks at the global role of scientific and technological (S&T) innovation and examines ways in which new technologies and new commercial processes can have a beneficial impact on the North.

    REVIEW ESSAYS/NOTES CRITIQUES Regina v Marshall: Native History, the Judiciary and the Public ON 5 NOVEMBER 1999, the Mi’kmaq of Atlantic Canada rejoiced when the Supreme Court of Canada issued its Regina v Marshall judgment, which recognized their treaty right to fish commercially. Non-native fishermen, on the other hand, were outraged and raised a storm of protest. What neither party, nor the larger public, appreciated is that the highly controversial ruling is the legacy of nearly 30 years of modern Aboriginal and treaty rights litigation in Canada. The process began in 1973, when the Supreme Court of Canada issued its Calder judgment concerning the aboriginal title claim of the Nisga’a. This ruling signaled the end of the practice of determining Aboriginal and treaty rights solely on the basis of debates that centred on interpretations of the law or were restricted to the close reading of treaty texts. After Calder, evidence pertaining to many facets of First Nations cultural and economic history became central to the determination of their rights. Thus, historians (very broadly defined) have played an ever more important role in the litigation process as expert witnesses. Their increasing participation has, in turn, forced the judiciary to develop guidelines for assessing the evidence and interpretations these professionals bring into the courtroom. Regina v Marshall represents a milestone on this long litigation path for at least two reasons. First, it affirmed treaty rights long claimed by the Mi’kmaq. Second, the judgment made it clear that the Supreme Court is becoming increasing sensitive to public criticisms of the ways its changing perspectives on Native history are influencing the evolution of aboriginal and treaty rights case law.
