Sabina Project - Inuit Traditional Knowledge Local Study Area Map produced by Spicker GIS Services (www.spickergis.com) Regional and site-specific information are integrated in the report. Each report section begins by presenting the broad regional overview. Information from all of the NTKP for that topic has been summarized. Some regional maps are provided but in general, consultant quotes are not included as part of this overview. The overview is followed by a reporting of all available information with the Local Study Area from the transcripts. These data were compiled by extracting from the NTKP the text data that was linked to the map information within the study area. The consultants’ words are presented as they were spoken, edited for English and clarity but without interpretation. Explanatory notes are provided in coloured text. Consultant replies are encased in quotes. A series of dots ‘…’ indicates where text has been omitted. 2. THE KITIKMIUT - AN OVERVIEW Inuit travelled extensive distances throughout the year, migrating seasonally among hunting, trapping and fishing grounds, but they had strong affinities to particular places. Consultants refer to Inuit from a specific area with the suffix ‘miut’. For example, people from Kingaok are ‘Kingaokmiut’ and all Inuit from the central Arctic or Kitikmeot region are ‘Kitikmiut’. Kitikmiut were once known as Copper Inuit. In the 1950s and 1960s they lived in the principal settlements of Kugluktuk (Coppermine), Ekaluktutiak (Cambridge Bay), Ulukhaktok (Holman or Holman Island), Bathurst Inlet and Innaghakvik (Perry Island) (Abrahamson et al. 1964). Camps of one, two or more families were scattered throughout the region with the most northerly camp being at Berkeley Point and the most southerly camp at Nonatoklik (Pellatt Lake) (Abrahamson et al. 1964). The NTKP consultants had little to no knowledge of Ulukhaktok and the more northerly areas of Victoria Island. The NTKP is the knowledge of Inuit from the West Kitikmeot who described themselves as belonging to one of three regional groups (Figure 2): • Ocean Inuit – people of the sea. These Inuit lived on Killinik (Victoria Island), the Coronation Gulf coast, and on the sea ice in winter. They primarily depended on seals and obtained caribou pelts for clothing from trading with inlanders. • Nunamiut (Inlanders) – ‘people of the land’. These Inuit primarily lived inland near Tahikyoak (Contwoyto Lake), Kaomaogaktok (Rockinghorse Lake) and Napaktolik. They travelled to the coast to trade with coastal and ocean people for marine products that were not available to them, and to trade their furs at the trading posts. • Kiligiktokmiut – ‘people of the small stitches’. These Inuit, known for their fine sewing skills, lived adjacent to Kiligiktokmik (Bathurst Inlet) (Figure 3, Figure 4, Figure 5) and in the Kugyoak (Perry River) and Kunayok (Ellice River) drainages. They often traveled inland to hunt. Their hunting areas overlapped with Ocean Inuit who travelled to the Kugyoak and Kunayok areas to hunt caribou and to trap. These group affinities changed if a person married someone from another area, if people moved due to changes in wildlife abundance, and when people started to live in coastal communities.

  • Studien Zur Siedlungs- Und Wirtschaftsentwicklung in Der Östlichen Kanadischen Zentralarktis*)
    Studien zur Siedlungs- und Wirtschaftsentwicklung in der östlichen kanadischen Zentralarktis*) Von Erhard Treude (Münster/Westf.) Mit 5 Figuren Summary: On the Development 0/ the Settlement Pattern and the Economy 0/ the Ea8tern Ganadian Gentral Arctic. Two periods of development are dealt with: 1. 1920-1950:The whalers not havingreachedthe area, the Netsilik Eskimos did not come into elose contact with Euro-Canadians until after 1920 when the fur traders invaded the country. The introduction of the rifle and the gradual acceptance of fur trapping deeply affected the traditional economy, until it finally collapsed when the fox prices broke down after World War H. - 2. 1950-1970: This period is characterized bythe abandonment of the isolated winter settlements in favour of living in the larger communities of Gjoa Raven, Spence Bay and Pelly Bay providing a wide range of services and facilities. At the same time, opportunities for wage employment were offered on a wider scale. The formation of co-operatives on the one hand and settlement councils on the other hand enabled the local people to take a more active part in their economic and political development. - In a final chapter, the present (1971) structure of the settlement pattern and the economy are described; and data are provided on the total local cash income for each of the settlements. 1. Einleitung Unter Zentralarktis wird ein Bereich verstanden, der die Inseln Victoria, King William, Prince of Wales und Somerset sowie den festländischen Küstenstreifen etwa von Tinney Point im Westen bis Cape James Anderson im Osten umfaßt (vgl. Fig. 1). Nach der häufig benutzten, von der Richtung des Seeverkehrs bestimm- ten Zweiteilung des nördlichen Kanadas in West- und Ostarktis würde es sich um die östliche Westarktis zuzüglich der beiden zur Ostarktis gerechneten Inseln Prince of Wales und Somerset handeln.

  • Abandonment and Restoration Plan for Karrak Lake Research Station and F-14 Satellite Camp, Nunavut
    Abandonment and Restoration Plan for Karrak Lake Research Station, F-14 Satellite Camp (Karrak River Camp), and Perry River Camp, Nunavut January 2015 This amended Abandonment and Restoration Plan is in effect as of 1 May 2015. It applies specifically to lands under administration of Environment Canada, located at: Karrak Lake Research Station: 67º 14’ 14” N and 100º 15’ 33” W F-14 Satellite Camp: 67º 21’ 09” N and 100º 20’ 59” W Perry River Camp: 67º 41’ 41” N and 102º 11’ 27” W Final Restoration The final restoration at both of the above-mentioned locations will commence once research programs are complete. All work under this plan will be complete prior to the date of expiry of all water licenses, land use, and sanctuary entrance permits. Photos of restored areas will be taken. The details of restoration are as follows: Fuel cache: All fuels (jet a, gasoline, naphtha, lubricating oils and fluids) and empty drums will be removed from the site. Contaminated soil, if present, will be handled as stated in the Spill Contingency Plan. Buildings: All buildings on sites are constructed of lumber, and will be combusted. Open burning is currently not permitted as per Land Use Permit N2014N0021 or Water License 3BC-KAR1316, but as per discussions with Sean Joseph (NWB) and Eva Paul (AANDC) in November-December 2014, we will request permission for open burning of painted lumber for a specified period upon abandonment of sites. Chemicals, metals, and other non-combustible materials: All chemicals such as paints, adhesives, etc., of which there is very little, will be removed from the site.

  • Submission to The
    SUBMISSION TO THE NUNAVUT WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT BOARD FOR Information: Decision: X Issue: Bathurst Inlet Emerging Char Fishery Application Background: The Burnside Hunters and Trappers Organization (HTO) have requested exploratory licences for Burnside Bay (also known as Swan Lake), Huikitak River, and Burnside River within the Bathurst Inlet area. The HTO has been working closely with Boyd Warner of Bathurst Inlet Lodge Ltd. for the logistical planning associated with the development of these fisheries. Both parties have previously held exploratory licences for the three waterbodies of interest (Table 1). According to the applications and previous correspondence with the applicants there is currently very little subsistence fishing that takes place at the waterbodies of interest. However, past information has indicated that Arctic Char in the Hiukitak River were previously harvested by both Bathurst Inlet and Umingmaktok residents. Previous correspondence with the applicants has also indicated that they are not looking at a “huge scale operation” and that “likely 10,000 lbs [4536 kg] would make things feasible.” Table 1- Burnside Bay, Huikitak River, and Burnside River Licencing History.

    Arctic Environmental Strategy Summary of Recent Aquatic Ecosystem Studies Northern Water Resources Studies Arctic Environmental Strategy Summary ofRecent Aquatic Ecosystem Studies August 1995 Northern Affairs Program Edited by J. Chouinard D. Milburn Published under the authority of the Honourable Ronald A. Irwin, P.C., M.P., Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development Ottawa, 1995 QS-8507-030-EF-Al Catalogue No. R72-244/1-1995E ISBN 0-662-23939-3 © Minister of Public Works and Government Services Canada FOREWORD The Arctic Environmental Strategy (AES), announced in April 1991, is a six-year $100 million Green Plan initiative. The overall goal ofthe AES is to preserve and enhance the integrity, health, biodiversity and productivity ofour Arctic ecosystems for the benefit ofpresent and future generations. Four specific programs address some ofthe key environmental challenges: they are waste cleanup, contaminants, water management, and environment and economy integration. The programs are managed by the Northern Affairs Program ofthe Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development (DIAND); however, there is a strong emphasis on partnerships with northern stakeholders including Native organizations, other federal departments and the territorial governments. The AES Action on Water Program specifically strives to enhance the protection ofnorthern freshwaters through improved knowledge and decision-making. Water Resources managers in the Yukon and the Northwest Territories administer this Program which focuses on freshwater aquatic ecosystems. This report is the first detailed compilation ofstudies.conducted under the AES Action on Water Program. It covers work done from 1991 to 1994. Many studies have been concluded, while others are ongoing. Although data may not be available for all studies, or results are preliminary at this time, this report presents detailed background, objectives and methodology.
