MX-10 & MX-13 Muskox Abundance and Management Recommendations
MX-10 & MX-13 Muskox Abundance and Management Recommendations Consultation With Kivalliq Hunters and Trappers Organizations September 23rd to 26th, 2019 Authors: Keenan Lindell, Kivalliq Regional Wildlife Technician, GNDOE, Arviat, Mitch Campbell, Kivalliq Regional Wildlife Biologist, GNDOE, Arviat, Department of Environment, Government of Nunavut Arviat, Nunavut Executive Summary Representatives of the Government of Nunavut, Department of Environment (DOE) including Mitch Campbell, Kivalliq Region Biologist, and Keenan Lindell, Wildlife Technician, conducted phone call consultations with the Hunters and Trappers Organizations (HTOs) of Rankin Inlet, Naujaat, and Coral Harbour as well as a face to face consultation with the Arviat HTO, between September 23 and September 30th, 2019. The purpose of these consultations was to review the status of the Kivalliq MX-10 and MX-13 muskox subpopulations and request support for the DOE recommendation to increase the Total Allowable Harvest (TAH) of the Northern Kivalliq muskox subpopulation (MX-10) from 90 to 95 muskox, and the recommendation to keep the Central Kivalliq Muskox subpopulation (MX-13) status quo (unchanged) at 182 muskox. Attempts were made to speak with all Kivalliq HTOs, unfortunately our calls with Baker Lake and Whale Cove had to be postponed due to a search and rescue in Baker Lake, and a lack of quorum in Whale Cove. Despite several attempts to reach the Chesterfield Inlet HTO by both phone and e-mail, we did not receive a response back. All calls were preceded by the distribution of all final muskox survey reports four weeks prior to the phone consultation. In the case of Baker Lake and Whale Cove HTOs, both HTOs indicated that the reports were sufficient to finalize their decision to support the GN recommendations for status Quo for MX-13 (Central Kivalliq Muskox Subpopulation), and an increase in the TAH of the northern Kivalliq muskox subpopulation (MX- 10) from 90 to 95 muskox.

Nunavut – Rankin Inlet and Cambridge Bay Government Of
Nunavut – Rankin Inlet and Cambridge Bay Government of Nunavut Employment Opportunity Registered Midwives Casual Positions Rankin Inlet is a community on the Western shore of Hudson Bay in the central Arctic. It has a population of 2,800 people. With easy access to both the tundra and the bay, Rankin Inlet provides an excellent opportunity to explore Canada’s unique northern environment. We are host to amazing northern lights, incredible full moon evenings, lots of snow and renowned winter weather. To balance the long winter nights, spring and summer bring almost 24 hours of daylight, migrating birds, caribou and beautiful wildflowers. The Birthing Center has been providing antenatal, intrapartum and postpartum care to women from Rankin Inlet since 1993. Women from the surrounding 6 communities can also choose to give birth in Rankin Inlet, and midwives travel to other communities in the Kivalliq region to provide prenatal care. Consultation and transfer takes place with obstetricians at the St. Boniface Hospital in Winnipeg. Cambridge Bay, located on southern Victoria Island, is the regional center for the Kitikmeot communities. Its Inuktitut name means, “fair fishing place.” There is an abundance of wild life near the community, including musk oxen, and several roads providing great access for hiking and camping. Midwifery services began in September 2009 and the Birthing Centre opened February 2010, serving low risk women from around the Kitikmeot region. Midwives do outreach services to all the communities and consultation and transfer takes place with obstetricians at the Stanton Hospital in Yellowknife. Registered Midwives have regular clinic hours and a rotating on-call schedule.

Community Experiences of Mining in Baker Lake, Nunavut
Community Experiences of Mining in Baker Lake, Nunavut by Kelsey Peterson A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Geography Guelph, Ontario, Canada ©Kelsey Peterson, April, 2012 ABSTRACT COMMUNITY EXPERIENCES OF MINING IN BAKER LAKE, NUNAVUT Kelsey Peterson Advisor: University of Guelph, 2012 Professor Ben Bradshaw With recent increases in mineral prices, the Canadian Arctic has experienced a dramatic upswing in mining development. With the development of the Meadowbank gold mine, the nearby Hamlet of Baker Lake, Nunavut is experiencing these changes firsthand. In response to an invitation from the Hamlet of Baker Lake, this research document residents’ experiences with the Meadowbank mine. These experiences are not felt homogeneously across the community; indeed, residents’ experiences with mining have been mixed. Beyond this core finding, the research suggests four further notable insights: employment has provided the opportunity for people to elevate themselves out of welfare/social assistance; education has become more common, but some students are leaving high school to pursue mine work; and local businesses are benefiting from mining contracts, but this is limited to those companies pre-existing the mine. Finally, varied individual experiences are in part generated by an individual’s context including personal context and choices. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis would not have been possible without the support and assistance of several key people. My advisor, Ben Bradshaw, has been instrumental in all stages of pre- research, research and writing. From accepting me to the program and connecting me to Baker Lake to funding my research and reading innumerable drafts of the written thesis, Professor Bradshaw has been critical to this research project.

“The Disease That Knowledge Must Cure”?: Sites of Uncertainty in Arctic Development
“The Disease that Knowledge Must Cure”?: Sites of Uncertainty in Arctic Development Jessica Metuzals & Myra J. Hird After nearly eight years of formal environmental review, in July 2016, the Canadian federal government rejected the French multinational AREVA’s proposal to construct a uranium mine 80 kilometers west of Qamani’tuaq/Baker Lake, a small inland and mainly Inuit hamlet in the Kivalliq region of Nunavut. The decision not to grant a license for resource development based on a technical uncertainty (AREVA was not able to provide a start-date for the mining project due to a depressed uranium market) underlies a far more complex and ongoing negotiation with uncertainty. Sites of uncertainty are spaces — physical, temporal, emotional, material, discursive and so on—that are occupied by a state of not knowing. Based on recent qualitative fieldwork in Baker Lake, this paper will identify key sites of uncertainty where AREVA, government officials, Inuit organizations, and community residents constructed, negotiated, expressed, transformed, experienced, and responded to uranium mining as a resource development controversy. Our analysis reveals how AREVA understood uncertainty as the “disease that knowledge must cure”, that is, the view that uncertainty is something to be reduced through the acquisition of increased expertise (Jasanoff, 2007: 33). This paper will demonstrate how this epistemological approach resulted in claims to certainty that were deeply contested and deconstructed when positioned against the contextual and relational knowledge of local residents. It will conclude by detailing how local residents’ calls for improvements in education can be understood as a strategic intervention, one that is reflective of an intermeshing of Inuit and western epistemologies.

Coral Harbour 2013 Coral Harbour is located on the southern shore of Southampton Island, on the northern rim of Hudson Bay. The Inuktitut name for the community is Salliq (“large, flat island in front of the mainland”); the English name refers to the fossilized coral that is found in the harbour. Coral Harbour is one of the best places in Nunavut to see marine wildlife. The nearby Coates Island is a resting place for colonies of walruses. Two bird sanctuaries, the East Bay Migratory Bird Sanctuary and the Harry Gibbons Migratory Bird Sanctuary are a must for bird watchers. Thousands of snow geese, as well as tundra swans, sandhill cranes and other species migrate to the area in spring. Local outfitters offer boat tours to view the wildlife in the area. Getting There: Kivalliq Air and Calm Air operates flights from Rankin Inlet to Coral Harbour throughout the week. Please contact the airline for schedule changes.

Population Declines of the Ivory Gull in the Canadian Arctic
Mallory – High Arctic Common Eiders 1 NWMB INTERIM REPORT Project Number: 4-10-02 Project Title: Local knowledge and surveys on declines of Arctic terns near Rankin Inlet and Whale Cove Prepared by: Mark Mallory Canadian Wildlife Service, Prairie and Northern Region, Box 1714, Iqaluit, NU, X0A 0H0 [email protected]; 867 975 4637 Jason Akearok, Canadian Wildlife Service, Prairie and Northern Region, Box 1714, Iqaluit, NU, X0A 0H0 [email protected]; 867 975 4641 Summary: Arctic Tern eggs are an important food resource of harvesters in Nunavut, notably in the Kivalliq region. Harvesters in several communities, but notably Rankin Inlet and Whale Cove, have expressed concern over declining numbers of terns near their communities, and seek research to address the issue. In response to the communities‟ interest, and following discussion with them, we conducted an Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit (IQ) study at both communities to document the historical and current distribution of tern colonies, and to gauge community thoughts on the possible causes of decline. We worked with the local HTOs to select ~ 10 local residents with knowledge of Arctic terns. All interviewees were presented with a consent form (in Inuktitut and English) prior to the interviews and asked if they consent to be interviewed and recorded and that the information that they provide would be used for management purposes, annual reports and potentially in a published report. Interviewees were paid ~ $60 honoraria per interview or up to $150 for a full day. The IQ information will be used to: 1) assess the historical and current population trend of Arctic terns; 2) provide input into a Nunavut-wide management of tern colonies and; 3) develop a community-based monitoring program for terns and other marine birds near these communities.
