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. -

Priorities for Land Use and Development in the Northwest
PUBLIC OPINION RESEARCH BRIEF Priorities for Land Use and Development in the Northwest Territories Highlights from a telephone survey of NWT residents conducted November 4-9, 2015 for Ducks Unlimited by Ekos Research Public Opinion Brief: Priorities for Land Use and Development in the NWT - 2015 INTRODUCTION This research brief summarizes the results of a random digit dial telephone poll of NWT residents conducted for Ducks Unlimited Canada by the professional polling firm Ekos Research Associates. The poll interviewed a representative sample of 456 aboriginal and non-aboriginal residents by landline and cellphone November 4-9, 2015. A random sample of 456 is considered accurate to within ±4.59% 19 times out of 20. Interviews were carried out in communities across the region, including the following: Aklavik Fort Resolution Tsiigehtchic Behchokò Fort Simpson Tuktoyaktuk Colville Lake Fort Smith Tulita Déline Gamètì Ulukhaktok Enterprise Hay River Wekweètì Fort Good Hope Inuvik Whatì Fort Liard Lutselk'e Yellowknife Fort McPherson Norman Wells Fort Providence Paulatuk SURVEY FINDINGS Page 2 Public Opinion Brief: Priorities for Land Use and Development in the NWT - 2015 1. In the NWT today, cost of living and the environment are the issues foremost in the public mind, followed by economic development and jobs. To identify the issues most salient to the public, the first question on the survey asked NWT residents to name what they felt was the most important issues affecting the NWT, unaided, without prompting or pre-set answers. Results suggest that the top-of-mind issues for NWT residents are cost of living (24%) and the environment (20%), each eliciting more mentions than any other issue. -

FORTY YEARS of REINDEER HERDING in Me MACKENZIE DELTA, N.W.T
FORTY YEARS OF REINDEER HERDING IN mE MACKENZIE DELTA, N.W.T. Erhard Treude (Institute of Geography, University of Münster) From: Polar[orschung, Vol. 45, No. 2, 1975, pp. 129-148. Abstract: Reindeer herding in the Mackenzie Delta area started in March 1935, when a herd of 2,370 animals was delivered to the newly established Reindeer Grazing Reserve. Conceived to supplement the dwindling wildlife resources of the Canadian Arctic and to improve the economic conditions of the native Eskimos, the policy was to keep a government-owned nucleus herd from which additional units could be obtained and put under Eskimo management. Several native-owned herds were set up, but for various reasons they all were retumed to the government, the last one in 1964. A new approach was undertaken in 1960; in an attempt to demonstrate the economic feasibility of an Arctic reindeer industry, the project was placed under private management. There were plans to start large-scale reindeer breeding following modern conceptions of reindeer husbandry, but when the reindeer population dropped alarmingly, the Canadian Wildlife Service in 1968 accepted the responsibility for a five-year term. The main task then was to rebuild the herd and to conduct biological as well as management-related studies. In March 1974, the herd was finally sold to a native-owned Reindeer Company. In addition to providing a detailed review of reindeer herding in the Mackenzie Delta area, an attempt is made to evaluate the past economic importance of the project and to assess its potential future development.

Field techniques included informal observation and intensive intemews with selected native and white informers. Factors examined were the educational, lob-skill, and housing needs which affect the*natives; thcir bush culture which includes sharing and consumption ethics and a derogatory attitude toward status seeking; and heavy drinking, a predominant problem among the natives. Some recommendations were; (1) an adult education program stressing the value systems of town life should be established; (2) the Trappers Association should be revived to provide equipment arid encouragement to natives more suited to trapping than town life; and (3) a summer's work program should be instituted for teenage native males.

Northern Administration Branch [text]. - 1949-1973 This accession consists of 34 meters of material, primarily textual created from 1949 to 1973. The records were created by the Northern Administration Branch and its various predecessors as a result of the federal governments activities in administering the Northwest Territories. A small number of photographs were located in the files during processing, however these images have been left in their original files and no attempt has been made to catalogue them. Although temporary file lists had been created in the past, final arrangement and description was completed in 1993. This project was financed in part via the Canadian Council of Archives Backlog Reduction Program. The Project Archivists were Janice Brum and Lorna Dosso, supervised by the Senior Archivist, Ian Moir. During this processing, the collection was reduced from approximately 145 meters to its present 34 meters. The bulk of the records were purely administrative and were culled from the collection. -
PAULATUK COMMUNITY CONSERVATION PLAN Paulatuum Angalatchivingit Niryutinik
PAULATUK COMMUNITY CONSERVATION PLAN Paulatuum Angalatchivingit Niryutinik A plan for the conservation and management of renewable resources and lands within The Inuvialuit Settlement Region in the vicinity of Paulatuk, Northwest Territories Prepared by The Paulatuk Hunters and Trappers Committee, Paulatuk Community Corporation, and The Wildlife Management Advisory Council (NWT), The Fisheries Joint Management Committee and the Joint Secretariat 2016 2 Paulatuk Community Conservation Plan – 2016 Nelson Allen Green October 8, 1948 - January 9, 1999 His magical aspirations are very visible. Along with his stern beliefs which are deeply embedded. His love of the land and wildlife, and of which he stands for. The utmost dedication in which he has given. We are forever in gratitude. For this, we give you in your honour, the Paulatuk Conservation Plan. - Ruben Green Paulatuk Community Conservation Plan - 2016 3 “Conservation is ensuring that if we take caribou, there will be caribou the next year and the year after that. The same for anything else. This applies to all uses of the land: if it is used and enjoyed now, it must be left and preserved so that it will be there for the next year and for future years.” Peter Green, Original Paulatuk Conservation Working Group “This plan has been well thought out, using traditional knowledge. We are the ones who know the area, as well as the different seasons, and the times of when different animals migrate. We’ve always hunted with the thought of using it wisely. These things are very important to our future and us.” Edward Ruben, Paulatuk Elder June 2016 4 Paulatuk Community Conservation Plan – 2016 The 2016 Paulatuk Community Conservation Plan has been prepared in consultation with the lnuvialuit Community in Paulatuk and lnuvialuit and non-lnuvialuit bodies with an interest in the area. -
Women's Role in Food Provisioning in Paulatuuq, Northwest Territories
chapter eight “This Is the Life” Women’s Role in Food Provisioning in Paulatuuq, Northwest Territories Zoe Todd Given the high cost of store-bought foods, hunting and fishing are vital to household food security in Paulatuuq1, a small Arctic community in the Northwest Territories. Traditional harvesting activities do more, however, than address nutritional needs, sometimes generating a surplus that can be shared with extended family and friends. These activities are crucial to a sense of continuity, providing opportunities for Paulatuuqmiut to connect with memories of the past, to create and sustain relationships with other people and with the environment, and to pass knowledge along to children and grandchildren. Contrary to long-standing ethnographic assumptions to the effect that men hunt, while women gather and process, women in fact take an active part in household food provisioning. All the same, wom- en’s knowledge of the environment and their role in household economies 1 The standardized English spelling of Paulatuk is employed by federal, territorial, regional, and municipal government bodies to describe the hamlet. However, locally, Paulatuuqmiut prefer the use of the Siglitun spelling, Paulatuuq, in describing the community. Throughout this chapter I employ Paulatuuq when referring to the community, but where I refer to governance bodies that employ the English spelling of the hamlet’s name, I employ the –uk suffix. 191 doi:10.15215/aupress/9781771990417.01 remain understudied, and their voices are typically muted in the scientific and bureaucratic discourses that undergird wildlife management in the Canadian Arctic. In what follows, I examine women’s participation in food harvesting gen- erally and fishing in particular, focusing especially on the impact of shifts in patterns of employment. -
Elder Offers Traditional Knowledge
NATIVE JOURNAL July 2009 Edition MINING OUR RESOURCES Elder offers traditional knowledge By Magnus Ferguson As if looking for a rare and increasingly-in- demand commodity isn't enough, junior exploration company Avalon Rare Metals Inc. is also aiming to work with the Yellowknives Dene First Nation to pioneer in another area: to power the potential mine at Thor Lake using a combination of wind and diesel. If it’s successful, Avalon will become first company to power a new mine using wind energy in Canada. In April, at the request of the Yellowknives Elder Alfred Baillargeon of the Yellowknife Dene Dene First Nation, the Aurora Research First Nation providing traditional knowledge on the Institute sent a Whitehorse-based scientist, wind to the research team at Avalon’s Thor Lake J.P. Pinard PhD. “Doctor Wind”, to the exploration camp on Chief Drygeese Traditional Avalon site, located 100 km southeast of Territory SE of Yellowknife. Yellowknife, for a preliminary assessment of where a wind farm could potentially be Using data from Environment Canada, located at Thor Lake. Pinard determines whether a site has two key ingredients for wind power. The first is Pinard, a vocal advocate of wind power who good wind speed.
