Canada i Abstract In 1717 A.D., the Caribou Inuit of the Kivalliq, Nunavut were introduced to the Fur Trade through the Hudson Bay Company. It has been previously posited that between that time and 1900 A.D., the Caribou Inuit were drawn out of a traditional subsistence pattern and into an economy that was a part of a world system. However, the actual process of how trade goods and technologies were incorporated into Caribou Inuit society by the Caribou Inuit themselves has received little attention. Using a combination of archaeology, archival history, and oral history to examine the profiles of specific individuals, this thesis demonstrates the importance of Caribou Inuit families that acted as intermediaries between their culture and European trade in the process of Caribou Inuit economic transition during the early historic period . ii Acknowledgements I owe my involvement in the subject matter of this thesis entirely to Dr. Peter C. Dawson, who first introduced me to Arctic archaeology and the Arviat Archaeology Project as an undergraduate in the summer of 2003. He devoted a large portion of the 2006 field season to the excavation of House I, encouraged my participation in the oral history side of the project, and funded my archival research in Winnipeg. My studies have benefited from his open-mindedness, originality, and support as a supervisor. The 2006 field work at Ihatik would not have been possible without the help of Mr. Luke Suluk, who is Dr. Dawson's partner in the Arviat Archaeology Project. Aside from being a part of the excavation crew, Mr. Suluk ferried us to and from Ihatik, provided the use of his cabin, fed us caribou and char, and protected us from bears. I would also like to thank Mr. John Blyth and Mr. Louis Irkok who were integral members of the crew. In the summer of 2007,1 had the opportunity to participate in the oral history research with the help and guidance of Dr. Natasha Lyons. It was a privilege to work with Louis Angalik, Mark Kalluak, Philip Kigusiutuak, Luke Kiniksi, and Donald Uluadluak. Their knowledge and passion for sharing history has added a unique perspective to this thesis. I would like to thank Dr. Gerald Oetelaar for his open-door policy, eagerness to discuss my research throughout my degree, and for being a part of my defense committee. As well, I greatly appreciate Dr. William Barr for joining my committee at the last minute, and for suggesting several critical corrections and references. iii I should also mention the friends that have helped me out more than they know - especially Don Gardner, Joan Dunkley, and Latonia Hartery. Their interest in my project has been encouraging throughout my studies, and has helped me realize how lucky I am to be studying archaeology in the Canadian Arctic. iv Table of Contents ABSTRACT / ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS // TABLE OF CONTENTS IV LIST OF TABLES VI LIST OF FIGURES VII LIST OF PLATES VIII CHAPTER 1 - INTRODUCTION 1 1.1 INTRODUCTION 1 1.2 THESIS STRUCTURE 2 CHAPTER 2 - GEOGRAPHICAL BACKGROUND 4 2.1 INTRODUCTION 4 2.2 KIVALLIQ PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY 4 2.3 CLIMATE 6 2.4 ANIMAL RESOURCES 7 2.5 KIVALLIQ PREHISTORY ....11 CHAPTER 3 - THE CARIBOU INUIT 14 3.1 DEFINITION OF 'CARIBOU INUIT' 14 3.2 MACRO-SCALE SOCIAL ORGANIZATION 14 3.3 SUBSISTENCE AND TECHNOLOGY 16 3.4 SOCIAL ORGANIZATION - THE FAMILY 21 3.5 LEADERSHIP AND DECISION MAKING- THE POLITICAL PROCESS 23 3.6 LEADERSHIP AND DECISION MAKING- THE IDEOLOGICAL BASIS 24 3.7 CARIBOU INUIT ORIGINS AND DEVELOPMENT 26 CHAPTER 4 - CARIBOU INUIT AND THE FUR TRADE 29 4.1 INTRODUCTION 29 4.21611-1717 EARLY EXPLORATIONS OF HUDSON BAY 30 4.4 EUROPEAN IMPACT ON CARIBOU INUIT CULTURE IN THE EARLY PERIOD OF HBC TRADE 41 4.5 THE DEVELOPMENT OF CARIBOU INUIT/EUROPEAN RELATIONS 43 4.6 SUMMARY OF THE EARLY PERIOD OF TRADE 1717-1790 49 4.71790-1900 THE INUIT TRADERS 50 4.8 PROFILES OF CARIBOU INUIT TRADERS 62 4.9 DISCUSSION 74 CHAPTER 5 - ARCHAEOLOGY OF HOUSE 1 78 5.1 INTRODUCTION 78 5.2 THE HOUSE I EXCAVATION 80 5.3 PART 1: STRATIGRAPHY 82 5.3 PART 2: ARTIFACTS 83 5.3 PART 3: HOUSE I FAUNAL ANALYSIS.... 99 5.3 PART 4: ARCHITECTURAL DISCUSSION 119 5.3 PART 5: ACTIVITY AREAS 123 CHAPTER 6 - DISCUSSIONS AND CONCLUSION 126 6.1 HOUSE I DISCUSSION 126 6.2 CONCLUSIONS AND DIRECTIONS FOR FUTURE RESEARCH 131 REFERENCES 139 V APPENDIX 165 vi List of Tables Table 1 Kivalliq Meteorological Data 6 Table 2 Kivalliq Birds that are Utilized by Humans 9 Table 3 Kivalliq Fish that are Utilized by Humans 10 Table 4 Kivalliq Archaeological Cultures 12 Table 5 Early Hudson Bay Explorers 30 Table 6 Contents of an 1864 Ahiarmiut Trade at Churchill Post 70 Table 7 Quantities of Feature Types at the Ihatik Site (JhKl - 1 & 2) 79 Table 8 House I Artifact Quantities and Representation 99 Table 9 Summary of House I Faunal Assemblage 166 Table 10 Caribou Element Summary.. 167 Table 11 Seal Element Summary 168 vii List of Figures Figure 1 Geographical Map of the Kivalliq, Nunavut 169 Figure 2 Qamanirjuaq Herd Seasonal Movement 170 Figure 3 Caribou Inuit Sub-Divisions 171 Figure 4 Hudson Bay 1717-1900 A.D 172 Figure 5 Central Arctic 173 Figure 6 H.H.

It has previously been posited that with the introduction of European technologies during this period, the Caribou Inuit were drawn out of a traditional pattern of subsistence and into a larger world-scale economic system (see Burch 1986; Csonka 1994; Damas 1988; Fossett 2001; Vallee 1967; Williamson 1974). Arctic anthropologists have often used historical data, exclusively, to examine this transition - an approach which necessarily biases the examination of development to a colonial point of view; therefore removing the agency of the Inuit in the process (Cabak & Loring 2000: 2; Leone & Potter 1988; Jones 1989: 9- 12). In general, a common element of such studies is that it is assumed that the Caribou Inuit pursued the new and highly functional technologies introduced by the Hudson Bay Company, such as metal implements and firearms, and by doing so were drawn into an economy of trade (Jones 1989).

Pickering A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS DEPARTMENT OF ARCHAEOLOGY CALGARY, ALBERTA SEPTEMBER, 2012 © Sean J. Pickering 2012 Abstract The precontact subsistence-settlement strategy of Taltheilei tradition groups has been interpreted by past researchers as representing a high residential mobility forager system characterized by ephemeral warm season use of the Barrenlands environment, while hunting barrenground caribou. However, the excavation of four semi-subterranean house pits at the Ikirahak site (JjKs-7), in the Southern Kivalliq District of Nunavut, has challenged these assumptions. An analysis of the domestic architecture, as well as the morphological and spatial attributes of the excavated lithic artifacts, has shown that some Taltheilei groups inhabited the Barrenlands environment during the cold season for extended periods of time likely subsisting on stored resources.

  • The Quest for the Northwest Passage
    NOVA DANIA THE QUEST FOR THE NORTHWEST PASSAGE SUZANNE CARLSON With considerable envy, the seventeenth century King of Denmark, Christian IV, watched the scramble to discover the elusive passage over Polar regions to lay claim to the riches of Cathay. This article will follow the fate of Christian’s early seventeenth century New World foothold, Nova Dania, through the cartographic record, speculating on what and when the Danes might have known about the then frozen northwest passage. An essential piece in this story is the amazing tale of Jens Munk, a merchant adventurer in the King’s service. For the cyber traveler, opportunities have reached a new zenith with Google Earth (FIGURE 1). I find myself cruising at 35,000 feet over the Alps, the Arabian Desert, up the Dania Nova Amazon, and to one of my favorite armchair destinations, FIGURE 2.

  • Contemporary Inuit Drawing
    Cracking the Glass Ceiling: Contemporary Inuit Drawing Nancy Campbell A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN ART HISTORY, YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO. January 2017 © Nancy Campbell, 2017 Abstract The importance of the artist’s voice in art historical scholarship is essential as we emerge from post-colonial and feminist cultural theory and its impact on curation, art history, and visual culture. Inuit art has moved from its origins as an art representing an imaginary Canadian identity and a yearning for a romantic pristine North to a practice that presents Inuit identity in their new reality. This socially conscious contemporary work that touches on the environment, religion, pop culture, and alcoholism proves that Inuit artists can respond and are responding to the changing realities in the North. On the other side of the coin, the categories that have held Inuit art to its origins must be reconsidered and integrated into the categories of contemporary art, Indigenous or otherwise, in museums that consider work produced in the past twenty years to be contemporary as such. Holding Inuit artists to a not-so-distant past is limiting for the artists producing art today and locks them in a history that may or may not affect their work directly. This dissertation examines this critical shift in contemporary Inuit art, specifically drawing, over the past twenty years, known as the contemporary period. The second chapter is a review of the community of Kinngait and the role of the West Baffin Eskimo Cooperative in the dissemination of arts and crafts.
