  • Temagami Area Rock Art and Indigenous Routes
    Zawadzka Temagami Area Rock Art 159 Beyond the Sacred: Temagami Area Rock Art and Indigenous Routes Dagmara Zawadzka The rock art of the Temagami area in northeastern Ontario represents one of the largest concentrations of this form of visual expression on the Canadian Shield. Created by Algonquian-speaking peoples, it is an inextricable part of their cultural landscape. An analysis of the distribution of 40 pictograph sites in relation to traditional routes known as nastawgan has revealed that an overwhelming majority are located on these routes, as well as near narrows, portages, or route intersections. Their location seems to point to their role in the navigation of the landscape. It is argued that rock art acted as a wayfinding landmark; as a marker of places linked to travel rituals; and, ultimately, as a sign of human occupation in the landscape. The tangible and intangible resources within which rock art is steeped demonstrate the relationships that exist among people, places, and the cultural landscape, and they point to the importance of this form of visual expression.

  • Hydrological Characterization of the Sturgeon River.Pdf
    HYDROLOGICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF THE STURGEON RIVER WATERSHED IN NORTHEASTERN ONTARIO: A HYDROMETR IC AND WATER ISOTOPE ANALYSIS (Thesis Format: Manuscript) BY NANCY ENGLAND GRADUATE PROGRAM IN ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES SCHOOL OF GRADUATE STUDIES NIPISSING UNIVERSITY NORTH BAY, ONTARIO APRIL, 2017 © NANCY ENGLAND, 2017 Abstract The Sturgeon River is a large watershed (~7000 km 2) located in northeastern Ontario and is a major headwater system of Lake Nipissi ng. River flow and lake levels are managed to balance a variety of environmenta l, social, and economic factors, as well as for the production of hydroelectric power, as described by the St urgeon River Water Management Plan. The objectives of the study were to compare the infl uence of the controlled (e.g. Lake Temagami) and uncontrolled subcatchments on resultant flow downstream; review 1979 (flood), 2010 (drought), and 2013 (contemporary year with wa ter isotope sampling) in the context of hydrologic history; and, explor e relationships between hydrol ogic characteristics and water isotope analysis during 2013, and recommend how information gained from water isotope tracers may improve future operation of the watershed. The historical hydrologic anal ysis involved the comparison of reservoir drawdowns, annual hydrographs, monthly boxplots, flood frequencies, and flow durati on curves, for river flow and dam outflow data at six different sites across the watershed. A calcu lated inflow data set was also prepared and the same metrics were compare d, to determine the relative influence of 3 hydroelectric reservoirs. In addition, the flow and meteorological conditions of two hydrologically significant spring freshets, the 1979 flood and drought of 2010, were compared to the study year (2013).
