Wood Edited and Introduced by P. Whitney Lackenbauer Arctic Operational Histories, no.2 2017 The Arctic Operational Histories The Arctic Operational Histories seeks to provide context and background to Canada’s defence operations and responsibilities in the North by resuscitating important, but forgotten, Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) reports, histories, and defence material from previous generations of Arctic operations. Since the CAF’s reengagement with the Arctic in the early 2000s, experience has demonstrated the continuity of many of the challenges and frictions which dominated operations in decades past. While the platforms and technologies used in previous eras of Arctic operations are very different, the underlying challenges – such as logistics, communications, movement, and sustainment – remain largely the same. Unfortunately, few of the lessons learned by previous generations are available to today’s operators. To preserve these lessons and strengthen the CAF’s ties to its northern history, this series is reproducing key reports and histories with direct relevance to CAF operations today.

P. Whitney Lackenbauer Bragg Creek, Alberta December 2017 Introduction – P. Whitney Lackenbauer INTRODUCTION P. Whitney Lackenbauer Will Canada remember that the Royal Canadian Air Force first removed the veil of secrecy from our treasure-laden Northland to mark the opening of an epoch-making period of development? Or that immeasurable wealth was conserved by aerial forest protection and that invaluable photographic and survey work was accomplished with greater dispatch than was hitherto dreamed possible?1 With this quote from a March 1934 editorial in Canadian Aviation, Flight Lieutenant Edward P. Wood introduced the “Northern Skytrails” series in the new RCAF service publication The Roundel in November 1948. Wood’s goal was to ensure “that the R.C.A.F.’s northern saga will be remembered” – a task that he had assumed when the Chief of the Air Staff instructed the Directorate of Intelligence (Air)2 to conduct a survey of the air force’s northern operations. The resulting manuscript titled “The Royal Canadian Air Force in the Arctic 1 F/L E.P. Wood, “Northern Skytrails: The Story of the Work of the R.C.A.F. in Canada’s Arctic and Sub-arctic Part 1,” The Roundel, vol. 1, no.1 (November 1948): 28-32. Reproduced as doc. 1 in Richard Goette and P. Whitney Lackenbauer, eds., Northern Skytrails: Perspectives on the Royal Canadian Air Force in the Arctic from the Pages of The Roundel, 1949-65, Documents on Canadian Arctic Sovereignty and Security (DCASS) No. 10 (Calgary and Waterloo: Centre for Military, Strategic and Security Studies/Centre on Foreign Policy and Federalism/Arctic Institute of North America, 2017). 2 In 1948, the Directorate of intelligence (Air) operated under the Department of Air in Ottawa. The Directorate of Intelligence started to operate in 1941, but in the reorganization of 13 December 13th 1946, all 3 services (Army, Navy and Air Force) were combined and operated together. The RCAF, however, retained the Directorate of Intelligence (Air), which changed name back and forth between Directorate of Intelligence (Air) and Directorate of Air Intelligence—the only one of the three services,to have kept its own directorate of Intelligence. The two other services used the Directorate of Military Intelligence. Department of National Defence, Directorate of History and Heritage (DHH), Fonds 2004/13 - Directorate of Intelligence (Air) fonds, https://www.archeion.ca/directorate-of-intelligence-air- fonds. i Per Ardua ad Arcticum and Sub-Arctic”3 represents a pioneering overview of the RCAF’s significant but often overlooked role in the opening of the Canadian North. “Several months of research were necessary to dig out and correlate all the available data, but the time and effort expended have been well rewarded,” Wood explained. “The resultant volume contains about 500 typewritten sheets, some 200 of which read like the adventure stories of our childhood.” Partly a compendium of early reports and recollections by “pioneer pilots and crews,” and partly a synthesis of Second World War and early postwar operations in the Arctic and Subarctic, Wood’s manuscript serves as an important foundation for subsequent scholars interested in analyzing the formative periods that he covers. Defining the parameters of the Arctic and Canada’s North has become a national pastime for academics and government officials.4 Whether adopting the Arctic Circle (anything above 66°30’N Latitude), permafrost, indexes of “nordicity,” the traditional territories of northern Indigenous peoples, the boundaries of Canada’s Northern territories (“North of 60”), or another measure, the analyst will pick a definition that allows them to incorporate those areas that meet their political or methodological aims. The historian, however, is more likely to conceptualize “the North” as an evolving concept which has shifted as Canadians have sought to inscribe their evolving sense of “Canadian- ness” on a shifting “frontier.”5 Today, the Canadian Armed Forces defines the North as the area encompassing the Sub-Arctic Region and the Arctic Region to include the Arctic Circle and High Arctic. The Arctic Region comprises the land and sea

  • My Dear Beaufort: a Personal Letter from John Ross's Arctic Expedition
    ARCTIC VOL. 40, NO. 1 (MARCH 1987) P. 66-77 My Dear Beaufort: A Personal Letter from John Ross’s Arctic Expedition of 1829-33 CLIVE HOLLAND’ and JAMES M. SAVELLE2 (Received 30 January 1986; accepted in revised form 6 October 1986) ABSTRACT. During his four years’ residence in the Canadian Arctic in search of a Northwest Passage in 1829-33, John Ross wrote a private letter to Francis Beaufort, Hydrographer of the Navy. The letter, reproduced here, provides valuable historical insights into many aspects of Ross’s character and of the expedition generally. His feelings of bitterness toward several of his contemporaries, especially John Barrow and William E. Parry, due to the ridicule suffered as a result of the failure of his first arctic voyage in 1818, are especially revealing, as is his apparently uneasy relationship with his nephew and second-in-command, James Clark Ross. Ross’s increasing despair andpessimism with each succeeding enforced wintering and, eventually, the abandonment of the expedition ship Victory are also clearly evident. Finally,the understandable problems of maintaining crew discipline during the final year of the expedition, though downplayed, begin to emerge. Key words: John Ross, arctic exploration, 1829-33 Arctic Expedition, unpublished letter RÉSUMÉ. Durant les quatre années où ilr6sidadans l’Arctique canadien à la recherche du Passage du Nord-Ouest, de 1829 à 1833, John Ross écrivit une lettre personnelle à Francis Beaufort, hydrographe de la marine.

FOR these many years past, a considerable number of Esquimaux have been in the annual practice of visiting the three missionary establishments of the United Brethren on the coast of Labrador, Okkak, Nain, and Hopedale, chiefly with a view to barter, or to see those of their friends and ac- quaintance, who had become obedient to the gospel, and lived together in Christian fellowship, enjoying the instruction of the Missionaries. These people came mostly from the north, and some of them from a great distance. They reported, that the body of the Esquimaux nation lived near and beyond Cape Chud- leigh, which they call Killinek, and having conceived much friendship for the Missionaries, never failed to request, that some of them would come to their country, and even urged the formation of a new settlement, considerably to the north of Okkak. To these repeated and earnest applications the Mission- aries were the more disposed to listen, as it had been disco- vered, not many years after the establishment of the Mission in 177 lj, that that part of the coast on which, by the encou- ragement of the British government, the first settlement was made, was very thinly inhabited, and that the aim of the Mission, to convert the Esquimaux to Christianity, would be .

  • An Aerial Survey of Caribou On
    AN AERIAL SURVEY OF CARIBOU ON WESTERN VICTORIA ISLAND (5–17 JUNE 1994) JOHN S. NISHI AND LAURIE BUCKLAND DEPARTMENT OF RESOURCES, WILDLIFE, AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT GOVERNMENT OF THE NORTHWEST TERRITORIES 1KUGLUKTUK, NT. X0E 0E0 2YELLOWKNIFE, NT. X1A 3S8 2000 FILE REPORT NO. 128 iii ABSTRACT Concerns over the sharp decline in numbers of the Minto Inlet caribou herd on northwest Victoria Island and increased hunting pressure on the Dolphin and Union caribou herd on southwestern Victoria Island prompted a survey of western Victoria Island. We used two fixed-wing aircraft and flew a systematic strip transect survey of western Victoria Island in June 1994. Our objectives were two-fold: 1) to determine the abundance of caribou in northwest Victoria Island (Minto Inlet calving area), and 2) to delineate the calving distribution of caribou on southwestern Victoria Island (Dolphin and Union calving area), re- survey any high density areas, and estimate population size based on the calving ground survey. We conducted the survey from 5–16 June 1994. The area surveyed was 138 185 km² in size and accounted for ca. 63% of the entire land area of Victoria Island. We estimated a total of 14 539 ± 1015 (SE) caribou on western Victoria Island at an overall density of 0.11 caribou / km2. Although our survey area included the entire known seasonal range of the Minto Inlet herd, we only observed 4 caribou on-transect in that area. Our results corroborated previous aerial surveys (March 1992, March 1993 and June 1993) where few caribou were observed and added confirmation to the decline of the Minto Inlet herd.

    198 13. Repulse Bay. This is an important summer area for seals (Canadian Wildlife Service 1972) and a primary seal-hunting area for Repulse Bay. 14. Roes Welcome Sound. This is an important concentration area for ringed seals and an important hunting area for Repulse Bay. Marine traffic, materials staging, and construction of the crossing could displace seals or degrade their habitat. 15. Southampton-Coats Island. The southern coastal area of Southampton Island is an important concentration area for ringed seals and is the primary ringed and bearded seal hunting area for the Coral Harbour Inuit. Fisher and Evans Straits and all coasts of Coats Island are important seal-hunting areas in late summer and early fall. Marine traffic, materials staging, and construction of the crossing could displace seals or degrade their habitat. 16.7.2 Communities Affected Communities that could be affected by impacts on seal populations are Resolute and, to a lesser degree, Spence Bay, Chesterfield Inlet, and Gjoa Haven. Effects on Arctic Bay would be minor. Coral Harbour and Repulse Bay could be affected if the Quebec route were chosen. Seal meat makes up the most important part of the diet in Resolute, Spence Bay, Coral Harbour, Repulse Bay, and Arctic Bay. It is a secondary, but still important food in Chesterfield Inlet and Gjoa Haven. Seal skins are an important source of income for Spence Bay, Resolute, Coral Harbour, Repulse Bay, and Arctic Bay and a less important income source for Chesterfield Inlet and Gjoa Haven. 16.7.3 Data Gaps Major data gaps concerning impacts on seal populations are: 1.
