CHARACTERISTICS AND DISTRIBUTION OF LAKES 631 Lake Winnipegosis, lying to the north of Lake Manitoba. at an elevation of 828 feet above sea-level, is about 130 miles long, by 20 miles in maximum breadth. It covers an area of 2080 square miles, and has a maximum depth of 38 feet. It is fed by many small streams from the west, and by the overflow of Lake Dauphin (840 feet above sea-level) through Mossy River. The outlet is by the very indirect way of Waterhen River, through Waterhen Lake, to Lake Manitoba. The total area of the lakes in the Winnipeg basin is 13,500 square miles. Lake Wollaston, 1300 feet above sea-level, is the ultimate source River of the Reindeer River, one of the chief tributaries of the Churchill Churchill. River. It is about 800 square miles in area, and discharges by two outlets—to the north by the Stone River into the extreme eastern arm of Lake Athabasca, and to the south-east by the Cochrane River into Reindeer Lake. Reindeer Lake, 1150 feet above sea-level, is 135 miles long, and has an area of 2490 square miles; the Reindeer River carries its overflow to the Churchill River. The rivers in Labrador are often like strings of lakes, and divide River Rupert. and unite again in their course, while the lakes frequently discharge in two directions. Lake Mistassini, 1350 feet above sea-level, the largest lake, is practically two parallel lakes divided by a range of islands in the centre. The western lake is 90 miles long by 13 to 17 miles wide, and the eastern lake is 60 miles long by 5 to 10 miles wide, the greatest depths being 300 to 400 feet. The lake drains by Rupert's River into James Bay. Lake Kaniapiskau, 70 miles long by 20 miles broad, 1850 feet River above sea-level, is the source of the Koksoak or South River, which Koksoak. flows into Ungava Bay in Hudson's Strait. The principal stream in the Arctic drainage area is the Mackenzie River River, the catchment basin of which is only separated by a low and Mackenzie. uncertain watershed from the Winnipeg basin. The Finlay and the Peace Rivers form the longest of the tributaries, though the Athabasca, rising farther south, is usually regarded as the main upper branch of the river. Lake Athabasca,1 Great Slave Lake, and Great Bear Lake, three of the largest of the many great bodies of water which lie along the edge of the Laurentian plateau, are tributary to the Mackenzie River. 1 The figures for the areas of these lakes are taken from the official Atlas of Canada, 1906..

As the international boundary between Canada and the United States passes through the centre of lakes Superior, Huron, Erie, St. Clair and Ontario, only half of the areas of these lakes given in the above statement is Canadian. The whole of lake Michigan is within United States territory. From the western end of lake Superior to the mouth of the St. Lawrence there is, with the aid of the canal system, a continuous navigable waterway. The total length of the St. Law rence river from the head of the St. Louis river to Pointe-des-Monts, at the entrance of the gulf of St. Lawrence, is 1,900 miles. The tributaries of the St. Lawrence, several of which have themselves important tributaries, include the Ottawa river, 685 miles long, the St. Maurice river, 325 miles long, and the Sague- nay (to head of Peribonka), 405 miles long.

Understanding Food Sovereignty Within the Context of Skownan
Presence, Practice, Resistance, Resurgence: Understanding Food Sovereignty Within the Context of Skownan Anishinaabek First Nation by Maximilian Aulinger A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Department of Native Studies University of Manitoba Winnipeg Copyright © 2015 by Maximilian Aulinger Abstract One of the defining characteristics of early European colonial endeavours within the Americas is the discursive practice through which Indigenous peoples were transformed into ideological subjects whose proprietary rights and powers to be self- determining were subordinated to those of settler peoples. In this thesis, it is argued that a similar process of misrepresentation and disenfranchisement occurs when it is suggested that the material and financial poverty plaguing many rural First Nations can be eradicated through their direct and extensive involvement in natural resource extraction industries based on capital driven market economies. As is shown by the author’s participatory research conducted with members of Skownan Anishinaabek First Nation involved in local food production practices, the key to overcoming cycles of dependency is not simply the monetary benefit engendered by economic development projects. Rather it is the degree to which community members recognize their own nationhood oriented value systems and governance principles within the formation and management of these initiatives. The thesis concludes with an examination of one such community led enterprise in Skownan, which ultimately coincides with the political aims of the Indigenous food sovereignty movement. i Acknowledgements The completion of this thesis would not have been possible without the unwavering support of numerous individuals.

Saskatchewan Watershed Authority STATE OF THE WATERSHED REPORTING FRAMEWORK Monitoring and Assessment Branch Stewardship Division January 2006 Suite 420-2365 Albert Street Regina, Saskatchewan S4P 4K1 www.swa.ca Cover photos courtesy of (top-bottom): Saskatoon Tourism; Nature Saskatchewan; Saskatchewan Watershed Authority; Saskatchewan Watershed Authority; Wawryk Associates Ltd.; Ducks Unlimited Canada; Saskatchewan Watershed Authority; Nature Saskatchewan; and Saskatchewan Industry and Resources. Minister’s Message From the grasslands in the southwest to the Taiga Shield lakes of the north, we in Saskatchewan are blessed with richly diverse ecosystems. Over the past few decades, we have come to understand more about the nature of these ecosystems, and how we rely on them to support our economy and our overall quality of life. We have also increased our understanding of the responsibility we bear to assess, protect and improve our province’s environmental health, in balance with our social and economic priorities, for the good of present and future generations. We face a number of challenges regarding our water’s quality and availability. It is up to Saskatchewan people to determine how we will meet these challenges. The Saskatchewan government has taken a leadership role in assessing, protecting and managing our source waters by addressing them at the watershed level. The State of the Watershed Reporting Framework represents a critical step in understanding our relationship with Saskatchewan’s watersheds, as well as our role as stewards of our environment. For the first time in Saskatchewan, this framework will integrate the information collected by numerous provincial and federal agencies and present it in an easily understandable, technically sound report- card format.

The sfgnlffcance of these lakes âs a potentfal recrea- tfonal/tourist area ltas largely fgnored untll recently. A recreatfonal developrnent plan designed to pronote the use of the lakes as a Ì^'aten¡ays route and recreational resource was lnstlgated 1n 1980 by the Lake lfanl- toba and Lake llinnlpegosis Recreatlonal I.Iaterways Board. From the plan, a Land based nature study route between Lake lllnnipe- gosis and Lake Manitoba and along the north shore of Lake llanltoba was proposed. The existfng road network fron the vlllage of Winnipegosls to Provfncfal Trunk Highway 116 at Gypsurnville would serve as the nature tour route. Thls practlcun has exanfned the recreaÈfonal feasibiltty of the proposed route. A nunber of lssues were addressed in the study, lncluding an exarnLna- tfon of the recreational attrlbutes of the exfstfng road network that would be suftable for a nature tourlng route, assessfng the present rec- reatfon level in the study area, estinatlng the potentlal recreation market to the route, deflnlng the developnent opportunities afforded, and realizfng practlcal funplenentatlon possibflitfes and Lfnitatlon .
