COMMUNITY RESISTANCE LAND USE AND WAGE LABOUR IN PAULATUK, N.W.T. by SHEILA MARGARET MCDONNELL B.A. Honours, McGill University, 1976 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Department of Geography) We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA April 1983 G) Sheila Margaret McDonnell, 1983 In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study. I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the head of my department or by his or her representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department of The University of British Columbia 1956 Main Mall Vancouver, Canada V6T 1Y3 DE-6 (3/81) ABSTRACT This paper discusses community resistance to the imposition of an external industrial socio-economic system and the destruction of a distinctive land-based way of life. It shows how historically Inuvialuit independence has been eroded by contact with the external economic system and the assimilationist policies of the government. In spite of these pressures, however, the Inuvialuit have struggled to retain their culture and their land-based economy. This thesis shows that hunting and trapping continue to be viable and to contribute significant income, both cash and income- in-kind to the community. -
Community Food Program Use in Inuvik, Northwest Territories James D Ford1*, Marie-Pierre Lardeau1, Hilary Blackett2, Susan Chatwood2 and Denise Kurszewski2
Ford et al. BMC Public Health 2013, 13:970 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2458/13/970 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Community food program use in Inuvik, Northwest Territories James D Ford1*, Marie-Pierre Lardeau1, Hilary Blackett2, Susan Chatwood2 and Denise Kurszewski2 Abstract Background: Community food programs (CFPs) provide an important safety-net for highly food insecure community members in the larger settlements of the Canadian Arctic. This study identifies who is using CFPs and why, drawing upon a case study from Inuvik, Northwest Territories. This work is compared with a similar study from Iqaluit, Nunavut, allowing the development of an Arctic-wide understanding of CFP use – a neglected topic in the northern food security literature. Methods: Photovoice workshops (n=7), a modified USDA food security survey and open ended interviews with CFP users (n=54) in Inuvik. Results: Users of CFPs in Inuvik are more likely to be housing insecure, female, middle aged (35–64), unemployed, Aboriginal, and lack a high school education. Participants are primarily chronic users, and depend on CFPs for regular food access. Conclusions: This work indicates the presence of chronically food insecure groups who have not benefited from the economic development and job opportunities offered in larger regional centers of the Canadian Arctic, and for whom traditional kinship-based food sharing networks have been unable to fully meet their dietary needs. While CFPs do not address the underlying causes of food insecurity, they provide an important service -

The goal of the research series is to take homelessness research and relevant policy findings to new audiences. For more information visit www.homelesshub.ca. Abstract There is a considerable amount of visible homelessness in Yellowknife (NWT), yet very little third-party analysis of the situation. This report begins by briefly discussing who is homeless in Yellowknife and then outlines program responses, including emergency shelters and various models of housing. An overview will then be provided of major funding initiatives from the federal and territorial governments, as well as various forms of homelessness assistance provided by the City of Yellowknife. -

An Ethnohistorical Review of Health and Healing in Aklavik, NWT, Canada
“Never Say Die”: An Ethnohistorical Review of Health and Healing in Aklavik, NWT, Canada by Elizabeth Cooper A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Department of Native Studies University of Manitoba Winnipeg Copyright © 2010 by Elizabeth Cooper Abstract The community of Aklavik, North West Territories, was known as the “Gateway to the North” throughout the first half of the Twentieth Century. In 1959, the Canadian Federal Government decided to relocate the town to a new location for a variety of economic and environmental reasons. Gwitch’in and Inuvialuit refused to move, thus claiming their current community motto “Never Say Die”. Through a series of interviews and participant observation with Elders in Aklavik and Inuvik, along with consultation of secondary literature and archival sources, this thesis examines ideas of the impact of mission hospitals, notions of health, wellness and community through an analysis of some of the events that transpired during this interesting period of history. Acknowledgements I would like to thank and honour the people in both Aklavik and Inuvik for their help and support with this project. I would like to thank my thesis committee, Dr. Christopher G Trott, Dr Emma LaRocque and Dr. Mark Rumel for their continued help and support throughout this project.

The Harvest of Beluga Whales in Canada's Western Arctic: Hunter
ARCTIC VOL. 55, NO. 1 (MARCH 2002) P. 10–20 The Harvest of Beluga Whales in Canada’s Western Arctic: Hunter-Based Monitoring of the Size and Composition of the Catch LOIS A. HARWOOD,1 PAMELA NORTON,2 BILLY DAY3 and PATRICIA A. HALL4 (Received 9 July 1998; accepted in revised form 23 May 2001) ABSTRACT. Hunter-based beluga monitoring programs, in place in the Mackenzie Delta since 1973 and in the Paulatuk, Northwest Territories, area since 1989, have resulted in collection of data on the number of whales harvested and on the efficiency of the hunts. Since 1980, data on the standard length, fluke width, sex, and age of the landed whales have also been collected. The number of belugas landed each year averaged 131.8 (SD 26.5, n = 1337) between 1970 and 1979, 124.0 (SD 23.3, n = 1240) between 1980 and 1989, and 111.0 (SD 19.0, n = 1110) between 1990 and 1999. The human population increased during this same period. Removal of belugas from the Beaufort Sea stock, including landed whales taken in the Alaskan harvests, is estimated at 189 per year. The sex ratio of landed belugas from the Mackenzie Estuary was 2.3 males:1 female. Median ages were 23.5 yr (47 growth layer groups [GLG]) for females (n = 80) and 24 yr (48 GLG) for males (n = 286). More than 92% of an aged sample (n = 368) from the harvest consisted of whales 10 or more years old (20 GLG). The rate of removal is small in relation to the expected maximum net productivity rate of this stock. -

Minister of the Environment Ottawa, Ontario KlA OH3 Dear Minister: In accordance with the Federal Environmental Assessment and Review Process, the Environmental Assessment Panel on the Norman Wells Project has completed a review of this two-part project. We are pleased to submit this report for your consideration. The review has led to the conclusion that before the Norman Wells Project can be built within acceptable limits of environmental and socio-economic impact, important deficiencies in the Propo- nents' planning and in the preparedness of government need to be rectified. The Panel therefore recommends that the project not be proceeded with until 1982 at the earliest, in order that these deficiencies can be dealt with.
