The overall goal ofthe AES is to preserve and enhance the integrity, health, biodiversity and productivity ofour Arctic ecosystems for the benefit ofpresent and future generations. Four specific programs address some ofthe key environmental challenges: they are waste cleanup, contaminants, water management, and environment and economy integration. The programs are managed by the Northern Affairs Program ofthe Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development (DIAND); however, there is a strong emphasis on partnerships with northern stakeholders including Native organizations, other federal departments and the territorial governments. The AES Action on Water Program specifically strives to enhance the protection ofnorthern freshwaters through improved knowledge and decision-making. Water Resources managers in the Yukon and the Northwest Territories administer this Program which focuses on freshwater aquatic ecosystems. This report is the first detailed compilation ofstudies.conducted under the AES Action on Water Program. It covers work done from 1991 to 1994. Many studies have been concluded, while others are ongoing.

  • Legitimacy on Stage: Discourse and Knowledge in Environmental Review Processes in Northern Canada
    Thea Luig: Legitimacy on stage: Discourse and knowledge in environmental review processes in Northern Canada Legitimacy on stage: Discourse and knowledge in environmental review processes in Northern Canada Thea Luig University of Alberta, [email protected] Abstract Based on ethnographic fieldwork, this paper investigates the interplay of discourse and knowledge within a context of structural power during public hearings for the environmental review of a proposed pipeline project in Canada. Despite much improved provision for Aboriginal participation in political and economic decision-making, negotiations between the Canadian government and northern Aboriginal people are often described as frustrating and unsatisfying by individuals involved in them. Analyzing formal procedures of the hearing process as well as interview data, I argue that legal adaptations and participatory processes are wrapped in a discourse conforming with international demands to respect Indigenous rights, but, in fact, are orchestrated in a way that favours the alliance of the state, corporations, and administrative professionals, thus ruling out effective influence on the part of local Indigenous people. Northern Aboriginal groups respond to these challenges by utilising discourses from international human rights and environmental movements as a tool to legitimise land-claim and self-governance demands, thereby attempting to trans- form articulations of identity into political and economic capital. As I will show, although the public discourse of the different agents involved is framed in symbolism that suggests mutual understanding and aims to generate support from the wider public, modes of kno- wledge production anchored in science/technology versus primary experience continue to de-legitimise one another, therefore precluding an efficient dialogue.

Know which angler to follow. Joaquin Arocena of Untamed Angling was on a very rare day off, and I hassled him to come with us up the mind-blowing Itirizama River. From the first tight loop he cast I could see how good this guy was. Joaquin spotted a pod of dorado from my camera position and he crept into place and hooked one without them blinking a proverbial eye. Lock the focus on the guy, pray like hell that my outline does not spook the fish, and fire away the moment that a fish is hooked and leaps clear of the water. 68 F i s h i n g W i l d Northern Exposure 69 northern reaches of Canada as being the best location to target big sea-run fish.

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.
