Rfd REE BEMSTE BEST COPY AVAILABLE Dedication Isaac Beaulieu (1938 -1999) This book is dedicated to Elder Isaac Beaulieu. Isaac, together with Marie Battiste and Eva McKay, animated the Summer Institute "Voice of the Drum," at Brandon University, during the summer of 1998. Isaac is the dear son of Veronique and Noah Beaulieu of Sandy Bay, Manitoba, the loving husband of Eileen, and father of Michel, Micheal, Suzanne, Marcella and Amanda, as well as his traditional familyVeronica, Randy, Fawn and Rayne. Isaac will always be remembered with respect and honour by the participants of the "Voice of the Drum." Isaac was known for being the most kind, generous and heart-filled person, not only by his attributes but by his passion for music and dance. He inspired many and best demonstrated his commitments to the Pow-wow trail, square dancing circuit, Winter Tribal Days and his duties as Master of Ceremony for many local, regional, national and international events. He always lived and portrayed his abilities in life, and never ceased to make us laugh and to see the everyday humor in life. Isaac's commitment to education and culture realized many positive changes at the community, provincial, national and international levels. He remains an inspiration to all those who dedicate their lives to the healthy growth of Indigenous education and community.

As Coordinator of the event, and as editor of this book, I offer genuine thanks to the Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada, and to Brandon University, for their major support.I am especially grateful to Beverly Chapman-Park, who completed the word- processing of this book with rare accuracy, care, and editorial intelligence. Further funding aid from the Manitoba Ministry of Education, the Manitoba Ministry of Northern Affairs, the Canadian National Railway, Heritage Canada, and Tri- Link Industries (Calgary) have valuably contributed to the realization of the "Voice of the Drum." I would like to gratefully thank my mentors and Elders who helped in every way: to Antoinette Oberg, James B. Macdonald, Robert Patterson, William Schubert and Anne Lopez-Schubert for "lighting the fire;" to Shingawauk (Dan Pine) of Garden River for teaching me to be discriminating in compassion; to Edward Onabigon for his unalloyed friendship and guidance since the sundance at Heron Bay; to Eva McKay, grand-daughter of Sitting Bull, for her counsel and love; and to Mike

Fishes and Decapod Crustaceans of the Great Lakes Basin Brian M. Roth, Nicholas E. Mandrak, Th omas R. Hrabik, Greg G. Sass, and Jody Peters The primary goal of the first edition of this chapter (Coon 1994) was to provide an overview of the Laurentian Great Lakes fish community and its origins. For this edition, we have taken a slightly diff erent approach. Although we have updated the checklist of fishes in each of the Great Lakes and their watersheds, we also include a checklist of decapod crustaceans. Our decision to include decapods derives from the lack of such a list for the Great Lakes in the literature and the importance of decapods (in particular, crayfishes) for the ecology and biodiversity of streams and lakes in the Great Lakes region (Lodge et al.

  • Some Public Health Resources for the Great Lakes St Lawrence River Ecosystem
    Some Public Health Resources for the Great Lakes St Lawrence River Ecosystem Opportunities for Public Health Contributions to public policy in 2010‐2011 Renegotiation of the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement now underway. This historic Agreement has guided most bi‐national activity on water quality since its first iteration in 1972. In 2008 there was a review panel that conducted broad consultations on the most recent 1987 Agreement which concluded that there was wide spread concern about the functionality and scope of that agreement. Hilary Clinton and Lawrence Cannon announced in 2009 that a new Agreement would be renegotiated and that process commenced early this year. Release of the new draft agreement and public meetings are anticipated in April 2011. A central consideration will be if public health protection is included in the new “modernized“Agreement. Old issues which need modernizing are toxic contamination and areas of concern, nutrient loadings, ship source pollution, habitat and biodiversity protection and science coordination. New issues under review are chemicals of emerging concern, invasive species, the near shore, climate change and most importantly governance. The Ontario Public Health Association’s Marina Whelan of Peel region as well as CELA and Great Lakes United are on the Stakeholder Advisory Committee to the Canadian Negotiators and are promoting the inclusion of human health.

Most of these studies however, have concentrated primarily on the larger zooplankters i.e. cladocerans and copepods. Relatively few comprehensive studies have been made of the rotifer fauna (Eddy, 1927; Ahlstrom, 1936; Nauwerck, 1972; Sternberger, 1974; Watson, 1974 and Bricker et al., 1977). The most recent of these studies (Nauwerck, 1972; Sternberger, 1974; Watson, 1974 and Bricker et al., 1977) have helped to fill many of the gaps that existed in some of the earlier investigations.

Follow one of these stories to get students thinking about the journey water must take from the beginnings of a river to the ocean, and all of the potential hazards it could face along the way. Note: Some of these stories are old enough to have a significantly different historical look on issues of conservation, race, and others. Please view these stories critically. tudents Will Be Able To: [1] Identify the journey of water in local context;[2] Understand narrative as having a beginning, middle and end; and [3] Use adaptations of narratives to explore the idea that S "all drains lead to the ocean."

  • Program Book" Re- Flection Conveys a Message That Our Actions in the Basin Are Likely to Be Reflected in the Great Lakes
    53rd Annual Conference on Great Lakes Research MAY 17 – 21 TORONTO International Association for Great Lakes Research Conference Theme Lessons from the past, Solution for the future The 53rd International Association for Great Lakes Research conference will explore how far re- search science in the Great Lakes and large lakes around the world has come over the decades, highlighting the science and policy research that has helped to improve and protect some as- pects of the Great Lakes. Today’s challenges and tomorrow’s solutions are rooted in this history as many of yesterday’s problems continue or have resurfaced today. Science and policy research presented in the areas of ecology, limnology, habitat, fisheries, invasive species, contaminants, climate impacts, watershed interactions, water quality and quantity will become part of the solu- tions for the future! Conference Logo The IAGLR-2010 logo symbolizes the conference theme. The pale blue coloured wave in the background represents the problem-plagued Great Lakes of the past, while the bright sky blue coloured wave in the foreground mimics the prosperous, rejuvenated Great Lakes aimed for in future. The CN Tower drawing highlights the conference venue—Toronto, Canada. Front Cover Design 53rd Annual Conference on Great Lakes Research The front cover of the program and abstract books illustrate the con- ference theme: Lessons from the past, Solutions for the future. The left vertical panel consisting of four pictures represents (mostly) historical or continuing issues for the Great Lakes such as point source pollution from industrial activities, nutrient & algae problems in Lake Erie, and the invasion of sea lamprey and mussels.
