  • A Hans Krüger Arctic Expedition Cache on Axel Heiberg Island, Nunavut ROBERT W
    ARCTIC VOL. 60, NO. 1 (MARCH 2007) P. 1–6 A Hans Krüger Arctic Expedition Cache on Axel Heiberg Island, Nunavut ROBERT W. PARK1 and DOUGLAS R. STENTON2 (Received 13 June 2006; accepted in revised form 31 July 2006) ABSTRACT. In 1999 a team of geologists discovered an archaeological site near Cape Southwest, Axel Heiberg Island. On the basis of its location and the analysis of two artifacts removed from the site, the discoverers concluded that it was a hastily abandoned campsite created by Hans Krüger’s German Arctic Expedition, which was believed to have disappeared between Meighen and Amund Ringnes islands in 1930. If the attribution to Krüger were correct, the existence of this site would demonstrate that the expedition got farther on its return journey to Bache Peninsula than previously believed. An archaeological investigation of the site by the Government of Nunavut in 2004 confirmed its tentative attribution to the German Arctic Expedition but suggested that it is not a campsite, but the remains of a deliberately and carefully constructed cache. The finds suggest that one of the three members of the expedition may have perished before reaching Axel Heiberg Island, and that the survivors, in order to lighten their sledge, transported valued but heavy items (including Krüger’s geological specimens) to this prominent and well-known location to cache them, intending to return and recover them at some later date. Key words: German Arctic Expedition, Hans Krüger, archaeology, geology, Axel Heiberg Island, Nunavut RÉSUMÉ. En 1999, une équipe de géologues a découvert un lieu d’importance archéologique près du cap Southwest, sur l’île Axel Heiberg.

The Inuit Movement in Canada's Newest Territory Holly Ann Dobbins Syracuse University Follow this and additional works at: https://surface.syr.edu/etd Part of the Social and Behavioral Sciences Commons Recommended Citation Dobbins, Holly Ann, "Nunavut, A Creation Story. The Inuit Movement in Canada's Newest Territory" (2019).

It has been accepted for inclusion in Dissertations - ALL by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract This is a qualitative study of the 30-year land claim negotiation process (1963-1993) through which the Inuit of Nunavut transformed themselves from being a marginalized population with few recognized rights in Canada to becoming the overwhelmingly dominant voice in a territorial government, with strong rights over their own lands and waters. In this study I view this negotiation process and all of the activities that supported it as part of a larger Inuit Movement and argue that it meets the criteria for a social movement. This study bridges several social sciences disciplines, including newly emerging areas of study in social movements, conflict resolution, and Indigenous studies, and offers important lessons about the conditions for a successful mobilization for Indigenous rights in other states. In this research I examine the extent to which Inuit values and worldviews directly informed movement emergence and continuity, leadership development and, to some extent, negotiation strategies.

This document reports on interim progress and provides maps of Peary caribou and muskox distribution. Data analysis, using program Distance 5.0, will provide density and abundance estimates for Peary caribou and muskoxen. Results are being finalized and will be detailed in a comprehensive Government of Nunavut Report. Acknowledgements: Funding for this study was provided by the Department of Environment, PCSP and the NWMB. Support and direction from the Resolute Bay and Grise Fiord HTOs has been invaluable. Much thanks to Grigor Hope, Mitch Campbell, Tom Kiguktak, John Innus, and Brian Dooley, for their dedication throughout our field program.

Watt1,2,*, Jack Orr2, Steven H. Ferguson1,2 1Department of Biological Sciences, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, MB R3T 2N2, Canada 2Fisheries and Oceans Canada, 501 University Crescent, Winnipeg, MB R3T 2N6, Canada ABSTRACT: Cumberland Sound, an inlet on Baffin Island, Nunavut, Canada, is undergoing changes in sea ice cover, which is affecting the marine food web. A small population of beluga whales Delphina pterus leucas inhabits Cumberland Sound year round and this population is cur- rently listed as threatened. Relatively little is known about the foraging behaviour of these belugas, but we expected that food web changes, primarily an increased abundance of capelin in the region, would have an impact on their diet and dive behaviour. We evaluated fatty acids in blubber sam- ples collected from subsistence-hunted belugas in Cumberland Sound from the 1980s to 2010, and analyzed satellite tag information from 7 belugas tagged in 2006 to 2008 to gain a better under- standing of their foraging behaviour. There was a change in the fatty acid profile of beluga blubber from the 1980s compared to the 1990s and 2000s. Specific fatty acids indicative of capelin and Arc- tic cod increased and decreased over time respectively, suggesting an increased consumption of capelin with a reduction in Arctic cod in summer in more recent years.
