  • Modelling Population Mobility in Southern Baffin Island's Past

    Modelling Population Mobility in Southern Baffin Island's Past

    MODELLING POPULATION MOBILITY IN SOUTHERN BAFFIN ISLAND’S PAST USING GIS AND LANDSCAPE ARCHAEOLOGY by Jeffrey Phillip Stup 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 Anthropology University of Manitoba Winnipeg, Manitoba Copyright © 2015 by Jeffrey Phillip Stup Abstract Evidence of chert stone tools on southern Baffin Island of Canada dates back thousands of years, yet most of these materials are found far from coastal areas of use. In the central interior lakes region of Baffin Island, chert can be found but this area is extremely remote and hard to access. If past human populations moved inland from the coast to acquire chert toolstone and pursue seasonally specific subsistence-related activities, many archaeological sites should exist between these respective locales. Historically, it has been difficult to locate such intermediate sites given the expansive of the landscape and the logistical challenges of surveying it. In this study, free and open-source geospatial data were used in geographic information systems (GIS) to predict archaeological site formation and potential inland travel routes. The models created link the archaeologically dense coastal and inland regions. These were constructed with a landscape archaeology theoretical approach and validated by comparisons to Inuit ethnographic accounts of interior-bound pathways. A new archaeological-GIS method was created, using a flood allocation function on a ‘humanistic’ cost surface. This ‘mobility-shed’ method generates vast networks of areas most conducive to human movement, aids in solving problems about past human population movements for Baffin Island history, for an ongoing chert provenance study, and will lead to future research through ground-truthing and more in-depth geospatial studies.

    The Canadian Security Intelligence Service: Squaring the Demands of National Security with Canadian Democracy* by Gerard F

    Conflict Quarterly The Canadian Security Intelligence Service: Squaring the Demands of National Security with Canadian Democracy* by Gerard F. Rutan Political truth is always precious in a democracy for it always makes up the first element of justice. Political truth is always suspect in a dictatorship, for it usually makes up the first element of treason. Anon. INTRODUCTION This article is historical in methodology, descriptive/analytic in focus. It was written to offer a primarily European readership an understanding of the origins, development, structure, and functions of the new Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS). Canadians who are, naturally, more familiar with the history and building of the CSIS will find it somewhat basic. Persons knowledgeable in security in­ telligence affairs will find little new or exciting in it. Yet, it is important that this case study of how a democratic state faced a scandal in its security intelligence functions, and came out of the scandal with a new, legal and democratic security intelligence process, be examined and ex­ plained. There are few state systems on earth today which have had the ability and the political will to do what Canada did: to confront an in­ telligence/security scandal and turn it into a strengthening of democracy. The Commission of Inquiry Concerning Certain Activities of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, more popularly known as the McDonald Commission, was established in July 1977. The proximate cause for its establishment was an official statement by the then Commis­ sioner of the RCMP that allegations of participation by the force in il­ legal acts (including the break-in at a Quebec press agency office) might have some basis in fact.1 The Commission acknowledged that some members of the force might have been using methods and procedures not sanctioned by law in the performance of their duties for some time, par­ ticularly those duties associated with national defense and counteres­ pionage or counter-terrorism.

Especially convincing is evidence, presented by DAMASKE & OAKEY (2006), that at least one basic dyke of Neoproterozoic age extends across Smith Sound from Inglefield Land to inshore eastern Ellesmere Island without any recognizable strike slip offset. INTRODUCTION These results confirm that no major sinistral fault exists in southern Nares Strait.

    THE POLICY OF NEGLECT: THE CANADIAN MILITIA IN THE INTERWAR YEARS, 1919-39 ___________________________________________________________ A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board ___________________________________________________________ in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY __________________________________________________________ by Britton Wade MacDonald January, 2009 iii © Copyright 2008 by Britton W. MacDonald iv ABSTRACT The Policy of Neglect: The Canadian Militia in the Interwar Years, 1919-1939 Britton W. MacDonald Doctor of Philosophy Temple University, 2008 Dr. Gregory J. W. Urwin The Canadian Militia, since its beginning, has been underfunded and under-supported by the government, no matter which political party was in power. This trend continued throughout the interwar years of 1919 to 1939. During these years, the Militia’s members had to improvise a great deal of the time in their efforts to attain military effectiveness. This included much of their training, which they often funded with their own pay. They created their own training apparatuses, such as mock tanks, so that their preparations had a hint of realism. Officers designed interesting and unique exercises to challenge their personnel. All these actions helped create esprit de corps in the Militia, particularly the half composed of citizen soldiers, the Non- Permanent Active Militia. The regulars, the Permanent Active Militia (or Permanent Force), also relied on their own efforts to improve themselves as soldiers. They found intellectual nourishment in an excellent service journal, the Canadian Defence Quarterly, and British schools. The Militia learned to endure in these years because of all the trials its members faced. The interwar years are important for their impact on how the Canadian Army (as it was known after 1940) would fight the Second World War.

    ARCTIC VOL. 71, NO.3 (SEPTEMBER 2018) P.292 – 308 https://doi.org/10.14430/arctic4733 Who Discovered the Northwest Passage? Janice Cavell1 (Received 31 January 2018; accepted in revised form 1 May 2018) ABSTRACT. In 1855 a parliamentary committee concluded that Robert McClure deserved to be rewarded as the discoverer of a Northwest Passage. Since then, various writers have put forward rival claims on behalf of Sir John Franklin, John Rae, and Roald Amundsen. This article examines the process of 19th-century European exploration in the Arctic Archipelago, the definition of discovering a passage that prevailed at the time, and the arguments for and against the various contenders. It concludes that while no one explorer was “the” discoverer, McClure’s achievement deserves reconsideration. Key words: Northwest Passage; John Franklin; Robert McClure; John Rae; Roald Amundsen RÉSUMÉ. En 1855, un comité parlementaire a conclu que Robert McClure méritait de recevoir le titre de découvreur d’un passage du Nord-Ouest. Depuis lors, diverses personnes ont avancé des prétentions rivales à l’endroit de Sir John Franklin, de John Rae et de Roald Amundsen. Cet article se penche sur l’exploration européenne de l’archipel Arctique au XIXe siècle, sur la définition de la découverte d’un passage en vigueur à l’époque, de même que sur les arguments pour et contre les divers prétendants au titre. Nous concluons en affirmant que même si aucun des explorateurs n’a été « le » découvreur, les réalisations de Robert McClure méritent d’être considérées de nouveau. Mots clés : passage du Nord-Ouest; John Franklin; Robert McClure; John Rae; Roald Amundsen Traduit pour la revue Arctic par Nicole Giguère.
