Canada & the North 2009 Canada & The North 2009 Featuring the Canadian Arctic, Greenland, Labrador & Newfoundland Adventure Canada 14 Front St S, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada L5H 2C4 | 1-800-363-7566 www.AdventureCanada.com | [email protected] © Larry Dear Adventurers, Adventure Canada’s Canadian itineraries continue to draw enthusiastic praise from audiences from around the world and the proposed schedule for 2009 will be no exception. Our voyages explore the northern and eastern most reaches of our country dropping into friendly communities and witnessing vast space and grandeur. Five voyages explore six unique and vibrant re- gions, Greenland, Nunavut, Nunavik, Nunatsiavut, Newfoundland and Labrador. Throughout the course of our programming we will examine the people, the geography and the cultural richness of each different region. 2009 is a year of note and of special significance for Arctic travellers. It marks the 10th anniversary of the creation of Nunavut – the newest Canadian territory. Woven into the fabric of our programming will be an examination of the Territory, its objectives & achievements thus far. A key element will be the increased visibility of Inuit stewardship of the land including issues of global warming, hunting and wildlife conservation. We are fortunate to have a number of Inuit resource staff who have experienced this transition period and who can share their insights as we make our way through the famed Northwest Passage. Along the coast of Labrador next year, Adventure Canada is thrilled to present a new concept in expeditionary cruising. Our Atlantic Arts Float will, in addition to our usual resource staff compliment, have additional writers, photographers, artists and musicians. Inspired by the landscape, and through a set of workshops, collaborative projects, concerts and exhibitions we hope to stoke the creative spirit. And as indicated below, we are honoured to be winning awards for tour program innovations. Two historical figures will be commemorated in 2009. We will celebrate the life of Newfoundland’s own Captain Bob Bartlett, the world-renowned Arctic explorer and historical icon. It was Captain Bartlett that commanded Sir Robert Peary’s famed 1909 North Pole expedition. The focus on the pole and the issues of the opening of the Northwest Passage are never far from the headlines these days and our high Arctic itineraries provide a firsthand look at the changes and possible commerce in the north and the impact this might have this fragile ecosystem. While each of our itineraries offers a general focus – wildlife, photography, art, historical exploration or Inuit culture - past and present, our programming remains multidisciplinary, with a team of expert resource staff on each sailing. We celebrated the founding of Nunavut in 1999 and we are delighted to offer our clients a 10th anniversary program in 2009.

We seek to create a space for effective and ongoing conversations between North and South, Natives and non- Natives, academics and activists, throughout the Americas and the Pacific region. This series encourages analyses that contribute to an understanding of Native peoples’ relationships with nation- states, including histo- ries of expropriation and exclusion as well as projects for autonomy and sovereignty.

  • North America
    World Archaeology at the Pitt Rivers Museum: A Characterization edited by Dan Hicks and Alice Stevenson, Archaeopress 2013, page 409-454 20 North America Dan Hicks and Michael D. Petraglia 20.1 Introduction On entering the main entrance of the Pitt Rivers Museum (PRM) and descending the stairs into the Court, the visitor comes face-to-face with a central display case titled ‘Pottery from North America’.1 Looking down on the case and the visitor, the 11-metre high Haida House Pole stands against the east wall of the Museum (1901.39.1). But as well as these iconic Native American objects, the PRM holds a wide, varied collection of ethnographic, photographic and archaeological material from North America, some of which is displayed in the galleries, but most of which is held in storerooms. The archaeological collections come from across the United States, Canada and Greenland, from the Canadian Arctic to the southwestern deserts of the USA, and they span the entire length of the Holocene, from the Palaeoindian period and into the colonial period. There are c. 4,930 objects recorded as from North America that are currently defined as ‘archaeological’. Of these, c. 3,627 are from the USA (Table 20.1), c. 720 from Canada (Table 20.2), and c. 125 from Greenland. The remaining 435 objects are currently recorded only as ‘North America’, although further documentary research (especially for those objects transferred from the Ashmolean Museum) may provide further detail for these objects. As with other chapters, the definition of what might count as ‘archaeological’ or ‘ethnographic’ (and what has done in the past) is far from clear-cut.

  • A Catch History for Atlantic Walruses (Odobenus Rosmarus Rosmarus)
    A catch history for Atlantic walruses (Odobenus rosmarus rosmarus ) in the eastern Canadian Arctic D. Bruce Stewart 1,* , Jeff W. Higdon 2, Randall R. Reeves 3, and Robert E.A. Stewart 4 1 Arctic Biological Consultants, Winnipeg, Manitoba, R3V 1X2, Canada * Corresponding author; Email: [email protected] 2 Higdon Wildlife Consulting, 912 Ashburn Street, Winnipeg, Manitoba, R3G 3C9, Canada 3 Okapi Wildlife Associates, 27 Chandler Lane, Hudson, Quebec, J0P 1H0, Canada 5 501 University Crescent, Freshwater Institute, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Central and Arctic Region, Winnipeg, Manitoba, R3T 2N6, Canada ABSTRACT Knowledge of changes in abundance of Atlantic walruses ( Odobenus rosmarus rosmarus ) in Canada is important for assessing their current population status. This catch history collates avail - able data and assesses their value for modelling historical populations to inform population recov - ery and management. Pre-historical (archaeological), historical (e.g., Hudson’s Bay Company journals) and modern catch records are reviewed over time by data source (whaler, land-based commercial, subsistence etc.) and biological population or management stock. Direct counts of walruses landed as well as estimates based on hunt products (e.g., hides, ivory) or descriptors (e.g., Peterhead boatloads) support a minimum landed catch of over 41,300 walruses in the eastern Canadian Arctic between 1820 and 2010, using the subsample of information examined. Little is known of Inuit catches prior to 1928, despite the importance of walruses to many Inuit groups for subsistence. Commercial hunting from the late 1500s to late 1700s extirpated the Atlantic walrus from southern Quebec and the Atlantic Provinces, but there was no commercial hunt for the species in the Canadian Arctic until ca.
