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. -

OROGRAPHY 11 Just North of Edmonton a Height of Land Turns the Waters to Flow North Into the Great Mackenzie River, Over 2,500 M
OROGRAPHY 11 Just north of Edmonton a height of land turns the waters to flow north into the great Mackenzie river, over 2,500 miles long, whose valley with its low elevation above the sea is the outstanding feature of the Northwest Territories. In this watershed the terrain becomes less smooth with prominent elevations in the Caribou, Horn, and Franklin mountains and the clay soils of the prairies give way to more of sand and gravel. Great Slave and Great Bear lakes, each half as large again as lake Ontario and less elevated above the sea than lake Erie, are notable features; north and east of these two great lakes the country comes within the Canadian Shield* and the rock with some shallow overburden slopes gently down to the Arctic ocean without any large uplifts to break the monotony. Going east again, in the more northerly part there is encountered the orographical influence of Hudson bay which, indenting the continent so deeply and with rivers running in from west, south, and east, has an enormous drainage basin mainly in Manitoba, Ontario, and Quebec. Practically all of this great basin, excepting the Nelson River drainage, is included in the Canadian Shield, the surface characteristic of which is hard rock either exposed or overlain with shallow soil generally confining agriculture to the valleys or small basins. With only small areas in northeastern Quebec rising above 2,000 feet in elevation, there are no great eminences, but the surface is generally accidented by many hills and hollows with countless numbers of lakes and streams. -

The Evolution of Inuvialuit Identity in the Modern
inuvialuit rising: the evolution of inuvialuit identity in the modern era Natasha Lyons Department of Archaeology, Simon Fraser University, 8888 University Drive, Burnaby, BC V5A 1S6, Canada; [email protected] abstract The Inuvialuit of the western Canadian Arctic were recognized by the government of Canada as the traditional owners and formal stewards of their territory by the Inuvialuit Final Agreement of 1984. During the pursuit of this claim, its progenitors replaced the Western term ‘Mackenzie Inuit’ with the Inuvialuktun term ‘Inuvialuit’ as the collective identifier of the seven or eight traditional groups of the Mackenzie/Beaufort region. The relationships between these groups, and their notions of collectiv- ity, have a rich and complex history. This paper traces the evolution of Inuvialuit social and cultural identity from precontact times through the modern era. The primary focus, however, is on the forces and influences that have helped to shape contemporary Inuvialuit culture, society, and identity in the twentieth century. keywords: Inuvialuit, identity, community-based research, land claims, Mackenzie River The Inuvialuit are the Inuit of the western Canadian Arctic. in exploring the forces and influences that have helped They have lived along the lower reaches of the Mackenzie to shape the Inuvialuit as a group and how these have River and adjacent coastlines bordering the Beaufort Sea changed over the course of contact history. Identity, as for much longer than recorded in historical documents or discussed below, is a sociopolitical and cultural concept oral history. Their ownership and stewardship of this terri- that has been defined in many ways. I use both the sin- tory was formally recognized by the government of Canada gular ‘identity’ and plural ‘identities’ throughout this in the Inuvialuit Final Agreement of 1984. -

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. -
