( t , 194 z36 ) ’ A brief summer s experience ( in 1953 ) with certain members Of the Seven Islands or Moisie band Of Montagn ais Indians has left me with a distinct impression that friendlin ess is one Of their outstanding - characteristics . ( Self possession , I might add , is another . ) Evi d ently Couper had a similar feeling in regard to the Mingan band 95 - some years ago , and Tanner in regard to the Montagnais Naskapi in u r if Of Davis Inlet and Northwest River q ite recent yea s , we may judge by the quotations from their works that are presented on sub sequent pages . ’ How, then , are we to interpret the subtitle of Professor Speck s volume of 1935 : Nas kapi: S avage Hunters of the Labrad or Penin “ sula ? Here he used the term Naskapi to include the Montagnais l Of the North Shore of the Gu f of St . Lawrence as well as the true ka as i . N p of the northern interior In fact, my late friend and neighbor made no very sharp distinction between the two tr ibes and frequently “ - gave them the joint designation of Montagnais Naskapi . Perhaps “ we shall have a better understan ding Of the word savage in the ’ n book s subtitle if we i terpret it as primitive or untutored , rather than as fierce or barbarous . ’ — in the l 600 s— In much earlier times , however say there was no i doubt at all as to the savage nature Of the Montagna s . One who reads ’ Parkm an s The J esuits in North America in the S eventeenth Century is likely to gain from that volume a shuddering impression of the unspeakable tortures practiced by this tribe on their native enemies and on some of the Jesuit fathers as well . Of in Hand Works on Indians North America general ( for example , book o N ort Am r an n ia . h e ic I d ns 1 2 1907 1910 . f , Parts and , and ; E S 1907- 1930 1929 1939 1940 Curtis , ; Palmer , ; Kroeber , ; Wissler, ; Swan 1952 1957 in ton, ; Driver and Massey, ) or of Canada particular 1955 ( for example , Jenness , ; Leechman , give comparatively little ( or even no )space to the Indians of the Ungava Penin sula . In order, therefore , to prepare a compendium no more ambitious than the present one on the characteristics and distribution of the several r inf r t ibes ( or subtribes ), it has been necessary to assemble the o mation from many sources , most of them dealing with merely a seg ment of the Indian population of the entire peninsula .

Hatcher and David D. Wallace Submitted to the Departments of City Planning and Architecture on August 20, 1956, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the re- spective degrees of Master of City Planning and Master of Architecture. The object of this thesis was to write a plan- ning program and design the physical plan of Scheffer- ville, -Quebec, a single enterprise town in the Subarctic region of Eastern Canada. The purpose was to create an environment in a region of severe conditions,' that would be conducive to a normal way of life, and thereby stabi- lize the labor force on which the Iron Ore Company of Canada depends. This thesis discusses the problems of severe climate, isolation, and the single enterprise economy as they affect the social organization and the physical de- sign of this frontier town.

  • Archean Crustal Evolution in the Central Minto Block, Northern Quebec
    CA9700382 -3- Archean crustal evolution in the central Minto block, northern Quebec T. Skulski1, J.A. Percival1, and R.A. Stern1 Skulski, T., Percival, J.A., and Stern, R.A., 1996: Archean crustal evolution in the central Minto block, northern Quebec; m Radiogenic Age and Isotopic Studies: Report 9; Geological Survey of Canada, Current Research 1995 -F, p. 17-31. Abstract: The central Minto block contains three volcano-sedimentary successions. Near Lake Qalluviartuuq, an isotopically primitive (2-83 GaeNd +3.8 to +2.3) 2.83 Ga volcano-plutonic sequence comprises depleted tholeiitic basalts, anorthositic gabbro, and diorite-granodiorite that is unconformably 2 76 Ga overlain by <2.77 Ga conglomerates. Overlying the conglomerate is a more evolved ( - £Nd +1.8) calc-alkaline sequence of pillow basalts, andesites, and peridotite cut by 2.73 Ga diorite. To the west, and in inferred tectonic contact, the sediment-dominated Kogaluc sequence includes both isotopically evolved 276 Ga calc-alkaline rocks ( £Nd +1-6 to -0.1) including <2.76 Ga rhyolitic tuff, pillowed andesites, and 276Ga 2.76 Ga quartz-feldspar porphyry, and less abundant, depleted tholeiitic basalts ( £Nd +24). These are interlain with sedimentary rocks including banded iron-formation, quartzite, and metagreywacke. Calc- 2 78 Ga alkaline batholiths include 2.78 Ga pyroxene-bearing intermediate and felsic plutons ( - eNd <+2.7) and younger, peraluminous tonalites (eN(l <+1.3). Late, 2.73 Ga peraluminous granitoids are isotopically 2J25Ga evolved ( eNd -1.6). Resume : La partie centrale du bloc de Minto contient trois successions volcano-se'dimentaires. Pres du 2 83 Ga lac Qalluviartuuq, une sequence volcano-plutonique isotopiquement primitive ( - £Nd+3,8 a +2,3) de 2,83 Ga comprend des basaltes tholeiitiques appauvris, du gabbro anorthositique et un melange de diorite et de granodiorite, laquelle sequence est recouverte en discordance de conglomerats de < 2,77 Ga.

BOSTOCK 2150 West bourne Avenue, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada The death of Frederick James Alcock in his 84th year on the 18th of March 1972 in Ottawa, Ontario, is a great loss to his numerous friends whose interests embrace many walks of life.

From there he entered the University of Toronto, where he majored in geology and mineralogy, and where lie obtained his B.A. degree with first-class honours in 1912. For the next three years, lie studied at Yale University, specializing in structural geology and petrology. Ile received his Ph.D. in 1915. The following year was spent at the University of Wisconsin where he concentrated on Precambrian geology. From 1911 to 1947 he worked with the Geological Survey of Canada and was then appointed Chief Curator of the National Museum of Canada. He retained this position until his retirement in 1956. He began geological field work as a student assistant with the Geological Survey of Canada in 1911. From that season on he spent the summers with the Survey and was appointed to its staff in 1915.
