  • Diamond Jenness (1886-1969)
    Diamond Jenness (1886-1969) HENRY B. COLLINS and WILLIAM E. TAYLOR Jr. Canada’smost distinguished anthropologist, Dr. Diamond Jenness, formerly Chiefof the Division of Anthropology, National Museums of Canada, and Honorary Associate of the Arctic Institute of North America, died peacefully at his home in the Gatineau Hills near Ottawa on 29 November, 1969. He was one of that rapidly-vanishing, virtually extinct kind - the all round anthropolo- gist, who, working seriously, turned out first-class publications in all four major branches of the discipline : ethnology, linguistics, archaeology, and physical anthropology. One must also add a fifth: applied anthropology, a fitting designa- tion for theseries of monographs on Eskimo administration in Alaska, Canada, and Greenland which he wrote after his retirement and which were published by the Arctic Institute between 1962 and 1968. Diamond Jennesswas born in Wellington,New Zealand, on 10 February 1886, and attended Victoria University College, one of the four branches of the University ofNew Zealand, wherehe graduated withfirst class honours in classics in 1908. Later he studied at Balliol College, Oxford, under one of the outstanding ethnologists of the time, Professor R. R. Marett. He received both a B.A. in Lit. Hum. and a diploma in Anthropology at Oxford in 1911. In 191 1-12 he was designated Oxford Scholar in Papua and was sent by the Uni- versity to make anthropological studies among the Northern d’Entrecasteaux, a primitive tribe dwelling on the islands of the D’Entrecasteaux Archipelago off the east coast of New Guinea. The results of this first field-work were published by Oxford University (1 920a).

  • Climate Change and Food Sovereignty in Nunavut
    land Article Being on Land and Sea in Troubled Times: Climate Change and Food Sovereignty in Nunavut Bindu Panikkar 1,* and Benjamin Lemmond 2 1 Environmental Studies Program and the Rubenstein School of the Environment and Natural Resources, University of Vermont, 81 Carrigan Dr., Burlington, VT 05405, USA 2 Department of Plant Pathology, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL 32611, USA; blemmond@ufl.edu * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 7 November 2020; Accepted: 7 December 2020; Published: 10 December 2020 Abstract: Climate change driven food insecurity has emerged as a topic of special concern in the Canadian Arctic. Inuit communities in this region rely heavily on subsistence; however, access to traditional food sources may have been compromised due to climate change. Drawing from a total of 25 interviews among Inuit elders and experienced hunters from Cambridge Bay and Kugluktuk in Nunavut, Canada, this research examines how climate change is impacting food sovereignty and health. Our results show that reports of food insecurity were more pronounced in Kugluktuk than Cambridge Bay. Participants in Kugluktuk consistently noted declining availability of preferred fish and game species (e.g., caribou, Arctic char), a decline in participation of sharing networks, and overall increased difficulty accessing traditional foods. Respondents in both communities presented a consistent picture of climate change compounding existing socio-economic (e.g., poverty, disconnect between elders and youth) and health stressors affecting multiple aspects of food sovereignty. This article presents a situated understanding of how climate change as well as other sociocultural factors are eroding food sovereignty at the community-scale in the Arctic.

  • An Aerial Survey of Caribou On
    AN AERIAL SURVEY OF CARIBOU ON WESTERN VICTORIA ISLAND (5–17 JUNE 1994) JOHN S. NISHI AND LAURIE BUCKLAND DEPARTMENT OF RESOURCES, WILDLIFE, AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT GOVERNMENT OF THE NORTHWEST TERRITORIES 1KUGLUKTUK, NT. X0E 0E0 2YELLOWKNIFE, NT. X1A 3S8 2000 FILE REPORT NO. 128 iii ABSTRACT Concerns over the sharp decline in numbers of the Minto Inlet caribou herd on northwest Victoria Island and increased hunting pressure on the Dolphin and Union caribou herd on southwestern Victoria Island prompted a survey of western Victoria Island. We used two fixed-wing aircraft and flew a systematic strip transect survey of western Victoria Island in June 1994. Our objectives were two-fold: 1) to determine the abundance of caribou in northwest Victoria Island (Minto Inlet calving area), and 2) to delineate the calving distribution of caribou on southwestern Victoria Island (Dolphin and Union calving area), re- survey any high density areas, and estimate population size based on the calving ground survey. We conducted the survey from 5–16 June 1994. The area surveyed was 138 185 km² in size and accounted for ca. 63% of the entire land area of Victoria Island. We estimated a total of 14 539 ± 1015 (SE) caribou on western Victoria Island at an overall density of 0.11 caribou / km2. Although our survey area included the entire known seasonal range of the Minto Inlet herd, we only observed 4 caribou on-transect in that area. Our results corroborated previous aerial surveys (March 1992, March 1993 and June 1993) where few caribou were observed and added confirmation to the decline of the Minto Inlet herd.

  • 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.
