Contemporary Harvesting and Food-Sharing Dynamics in the K'asho Got'ine Community of Fort Good Hope, Northwest Territories University of Alberta Resilience to Ecological Change: Contemporary Harvesting and Food-Sharing Dynamics in the K’asho Got'ine community of Fort Good Hope, Northwest Territories by Roger C.

In memory of Charlie Tobac Edward Gardebois and Mary Barnaby Abstract: This thesis examines how community hunting strategies and food-sharing networks facilitate social-ecological resilience to a decreased availability of barren-ground caribou in the K’asho Got’ine region of the Sahtú Settlement Area. It is based on collaborative research carried out with the Fort Good Hope Renewable Resources Council, including participant observation and interviews. I demonstrate that organizers of autumn community hunts (2007-2010) responded flexibly to ecological conditions (i.e. the availability of different species of game), and to community perspectives about the hunts, while working to address the broader needs of traditional knowledge education for youth and the food security of vulnerable demographics. A tradition of food-sharing has always been an important mechanism by which the latter need is met. Based on a comparison of two hunts in 2009 (a community hunt versus a series of household hunts), I find that vulnerable groups received meat to a greater extent after the community hunt in part through their exercising their eligibility for it through requests. Acknowledgements: My involvement with this project could only have happened through the support and direction of my amazing supervisor, Dr. Brenda Parlee. You have opened so many opportunities for me from fieldwork to conferences (Iceland!), and while challenging me at many stages I am grateful for your steadfast encouragement throughout. In the process of editing this thesis I am realizing how so many of our extensive conversations have been central to its content. I deeply appreciate all your help and guidance. Thank you. Also to my examining committee, I appreciate your time and insights; if only the defence could have lasted another hour! In Fort Good Hope: I am grateful to my thoughtful Research Assistant Anne-Marie Jackson who helped me to see things in different ways, and navigate the uncertainties I faced in getting to know life in Fort Good Hope; I would not have developed nearly the perspective I have without your insight. And to everyone who made me feel so welcome, I thank you. I am especially grateful to the RRC for putting up with my nagging questions for so long, to everyone at Tabasco Lake, and to the Manuels, Tobacs, Jacksons, and Pierrots. There were many highs and lows for me during my time in Good Hope; I learned much about myself, about different ways to see things, and the necessity of nicknames and rubber-boots. A big part of me has really wanted to make a home there. Your community will always have a special place in my heart that I will bring wherever I go. I am particularly grateful for the friendship and accommodation of the following people: Charlie and Laura; Angus; Lawrence and Tisha; Rodger and Mabel, Thomas and Denise; Wilfred and Lucy; Ronald and Sharon; Jim and Theres; Jim and Gloria; Greg and Meli; Arthur T., Fred P., Sarena, Jeanette and Cara, Ida, Arthur, Angie, Crystal (Gretel, Shadow, and Maxx), Anne-Marie, Rhea, Tammy, Chris A, Cassien, and the remarkable H. Bourassa. In Edmonton: My time in Edmonton has been far longer than I’d planned, but I’m relieved to look back and consider it well spent. I have been challenged academically, and have grown personally. In the Department of Rural Economy (I’ll never get used to the new name), thank you especially to Chris Lyon, Wayne Crosby, John Pattison, Brian Joubert, Brad Dollevoet, Angie Chiu, Tiarella Hanna and Ken Caine; also the staff Robin, Sarah, and Randy. And thanks to all the RE students/faculty/staff over the years for making the department such a dynamic place. ‘Team Brenda’ in particular has been a wonderful reservoir of enlightenment and support, and I hope our camaraderie continues: Raila Salokangas, Kristine Wray, Dan Slavik, Andrea Rawluk, and Zoe Todd. I moved 6 times in Edmonton, and to Karl, and Brian and Christine, you have helped me keep sane amidst various crises; in my expansive list of roommates, you shine. Mis gracias profundamente á Adriana Almeida Rodriguez. In Smithers/Vancouver: To my family who are always supportive, thank you. And especially to my brother Michael, may your Masters be done.

It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department of The University of British Columbia 1956 Main Mall Vancouver, Canada V6T 1Y3 DE-6 (3/81) ABSTRACT This paper discusses community resistance to the imposition of an external industrial socio-economic system and the destruction of a distinctive land-based way of life. It shows how historically Inuvialuit independence has been eroded by contact with the external economic system and the assimilationist policies of the government. In spite of these pressures, however, the Inuvialuit have struggled to retain their culture and their land-based economy. This thesis shows that hunting and trapping continue to be viable and to contribute significant income, both cash and income- in-kind to the community.

  • Priorities for Land Use and Development in the Northwest
    PUBLIC OPINION RESEARCH BRIEF Priorities for Land Use and Development in the Northwest Territories Highlights from a telephone survey of NWT residents conducted November 4-9, 2015 for Ducks Unlimited by Ekos Research Public Opinion Brief: Priorities for Land Use and Development in the NWT - 2015 INTRODUCTION This research brief summarizes the results of a random digit dial telephone poll of NWT residents conducted for Ducks Unlimited Canada by the professional polling firm Ekos Research ​ ​ Associates. The poll interviewed a representative sample of 456 aboriginal and non-aboriginal residents by landline and cellphone November 4-9, 2015. A random sample of 456 is considered accurate to within ±4.59% 19 times out of 20. Interviews were carried out in communities across the region, including the following: Aklavik Fort Resolution Tsiigehtchic Behchokò Fort Simpson Tuktoyaktuk Colville Lake Fort Smith Tulita Déline Gamètì Ulukhaktok Enterprise Hay River Wekweètì Fort Good Hope Inuvik Whatì Fort Liard Lutselk'e Yellowknife Fort McPherson Norman Wells Fort Providence Paulatuk SURVEY FINDINGS Page 2 Public Opinion Brief: Priorities for Land Use and Development in the NWT - 2015 1. In the NWT today, cost of living and the environment are the issues foremost in the public mind, followed by economic development and jobs. To identify the issues most salient to the public, the first question on the survey asked NWT residents to name what they felt was the most important issues affecting the NWT, unaided, without prompting or pre-set answers. Results suggest that the top-of-mind issues for NWT residents are cost of living (24%) and the environment (20%), each eliciting more mentions than any other issue.

    PAULATUK COMMUNITY CONSERVATION PLAN Paulatuum Angalatchivingit Niryutinik A plan for the conservation and management of renewable resources and lands within The Inuvialuit Settlement Region in the vicinity of Paulatuk, Northwest Territories Prepared by The Paulatuk Hunters and Trappers Committee, Paulatuk Community Corporation, and The Wildlife Management Advisory Council (NWT), The Fisheries Joint Management Committee and the Joint Secretariat 2016 2 Paulatuk Community Conservation Plan – 2016 Nelson Allen Green October 8, 1948 - January 9, 1999 His magical aspirations are very visible. Along with his stern beliefs which are deeply embedded. His love of the land and wildlife, and of which he stands for. The utmost dedication in which he has given. We are forever in gratitude. For this, we give you in your honour, the Paulatuk Conservation Plan. - Ruben Green Paulatuk Community Conservation Plan - 2016 3 “Conservation is ensuring that if we take caribou, there will be caribou the next year and the year after that. The same for anything else. This applies to all uses of the land: if it is used and enjoyed now, it must be left and preserved so that it will be there for the next year and for future years.” Peter Green, Original Paulatuk Conservation Working Group “This plan has been well thought out, using traditional knowledge. We are the ones who know the area, as well as the different seasons, and the times of when different animals migrate. We’ve always hunted with the thought of using it wisely. These things are very important to our future and us.” Edward Ruben, Paulatuk Elder June 2016 4 Paulatuk Community Conservation Plan – 2016 The 2016 Paulatuk Community Conservation Plan has been prepared in consultation with the lnuvialuit Community in Paulatuk and lnuvialuit and non-lnuvialuit bodies with an interest in the area.

  • Women's Role in Food Provisioning in Paulatuuq, Northwest Territories
    chapter eight “This Is the Life” Women’s Role in Food Provisioning in Paulatuuq, Northwest Territories Zoe Todd Given the high cost of store-bought foods, hunting and fishing are vital to household food security in Paulatuuq1, a small Arctic community in the Northwest Territories. Traditional harvesting activities do more, however, than address nutritional needs, sometimes generating a surplus that can be shared with extended family and friends. These activities are crucial to a sense of continuity, providing opportunities for Paulatuuqmiut to connect with memories of the past, to create and sustain relationships with other people and with the environment, and to pass knowledge along to children and grandchildren. Contrary to long-standing ethnographic assumptions to the effect that men hunt, while women gather and process, women in fact take an active part in household food provisioning. All the same, wom- en’s knowledge of the environment and their role in household economies 1 The standardized English spelling of Paulatuk is employed by federal, territorial, regional, and municipal government bodies to describe the hamlet. However, locally, Paulatuuqmiut prefer the use of the Siglitun spelling, Paulatuuq, in describing the community. Throughout this chapter I employ Paulatuuq when referring to the community, but where I refer to governance bodies that employ the English spelling of the hamlet’s name, I employ the –uk suffix. 191 doi:10.15215/aupress/9781771990417.01 remain understudied, and their voices are typically muted in the scientific and bureaucratic discourses that undergird wildlife management in the Canadian Arctic. In what follows, I examine women’s participation in food harvesting gen- erally and fishing in particular, focusing especially on the impact of shifts in patterns of employment.

  • Elder Offers Traditional Knowledge
    NATIVE JOURNAL July 2009 Edition MINING OUR RESOURCES Elder offers traditional knowledge By Magnus Ferguson As if looking for a rare and increasingly-in- demand commodity isn't enough, junior exploration company Avalon Rare Metals Inc. is also aiming to work with the Yellowknives Dene First Nation to pioneer in another area: to power the potential mine at Thor Lake using a combination of wind and diesel. If it’s successful, Avalon will become first company to power a new mine using wind energy in Canada. In April, at the request of the Yellowknives Elder Alfred Baillargeon of the Yellowknife Dene Dene First Nation, the Aurora Research First Nation providing traditional knowledge on the Institute sent a Whitehorse-based scientist, wind to the research team at Avalon’s Thor Lake J.P.
