Thesample for the study was comprised of 109 adolescent Cree Indiansfrom the Mistassini and Waswanipi bands located in northcentral Quebec. These youths attended elementary and high schools inLa Tuque, Quebec; Brantford, Ontario; and Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario.It is noted that the socialization patterns of these youthsalternate between the traditional Indian way of life and that of modernwhite society. Evidences are drawn from clinically oriented anlysisof the Adolescent Adjustment Interviews andare supplemented by field data and the use of informants. Recommendations fromthe study deal with diminishing the intensity of identity conflictamong Cree youth through(1) encouragement to retain sufficient emotionalattachment to traditional values, (2) designing school curricula to validate self-images, and (3)reducing discontinuities in the enculturationof Cree children.

Pilon Pilon, D. , and Département de Sciences biologiques, Faculté des Arts et des Sciences, Université de Montréal, C.P. 6128, Montréal, Québec, H3C 3J7. Canada The state of knowledge of the regional odonate fauna is reviewed. The to distribution of species is analysed in relation the bioclimatic zones. INTRODUCTION of the The ever increasing development northern areas of North America necessitates a knowledge not only of the composition ofthe animal fauna as a whole but also of the ecological roles of the different categories of organisms, as a prerequisite to any safe and logical manipulation ofnorthern ecosystems. Death of thousands of caribou in northern Quebec in the mid-80’s (related to human interference) is an illustration of deficiencies in our approach to the understanding of these northern ecosystems. As pointed out by Aagaard (1986), northern insect conservation strategy should develop along two lines : macroscopic (biogeographic) and microscopic (biotopic). The present paper is an attempt to review the data available on the composition of fauna of these northern the odonate reigons and to look into some of the factors that could help to better understand these ecosystems.
