Silva Charles R. Hale David Wilkins Roberta Hill Juan de Dios Yapita Narrating Native Histories aims to foster a rethinking of the ethical, methodological, and conceptual frameworks within which we locate our work on Native histories and cultures. We seek to create a space for effective and ongoing conversations between North and South, Natives and non- Natives, academics and activists, throughout the Americas and the Pacific region. This series encourages analyses that contribute to an understanding of Native peoples’ relationships with nation- states, including histo- ries of expropriation and exclusion as well as projects for autonomy and sovereignty. We encourage collaborative work that recognizes Native intellectuals, cultural inter- preters, and alternative knowledge producers, as well as projects that question the relationship between orality and literacy. skin for skin DEATH AND LIFE FOR INUIT AND INNU GERALD M.

  • Aviation Occurrence Report Collision with Surface of Ice Trans-Côte Piper PA-31-310 C-GDOU Strait of Belle-Isle, Quebec 11 January 1994 Report Number A94Q0002
    AVIATION OCCURRENCE REPORT COLLISION WITH SURFACE OF ICE TRANS-CÔTE PIPER PA-31-310 C-GDOU STRAIT OF BELLE-ISLE, QUEBEC 11 JANUARY 1994 REPORT NUMBER A94Q0002 MANDATE OF THE TSB The Canadian Transportation Accident Investigation and Safety Board Act provides the legal framework governing the TSB's activities. Basically, the TSB has a mandate to advance safety in the marine, pipeline, rail, and aviation modes of transportation by: ! conducting independent investigations and, if necessary, public inquiries into transportation occurrences in order to make findings as to their causes and contributing factors; ! reporting publicly on its investigations and public inquiries and on the related findings; ! identifying safety deficiencies as evidenced by transportation occurrences; ! making recommendations designed to eliminate or reduce any such safety deficiencies; and ! conducting special studies and special investigations on transportation safety matters. It is not the function of the Board to assign fault or determine civil or criminal liability. However, the Board must not refrain from fully reporting on the causes and contributing factors merely because fault or liability might be inferred from the Board's findings. INDEPENDENCE To enable the public to have confidence in the transportation accident investigation process, it is essential that the investigating agency be, and be seen to be, independent and free from any conflicts of interest when it investigates accidents, identifies safety deficiencies, and makes safety recommendations. Independence is a key feature of the TSB. The Board reports to Parliament through the President of the Queen's Privy Council for Canada and is separate from other government agencies and departments. Its independence enables it to be fully objective in arriving at its conclusions and recommendations.

  • Late-18Th- and Early-19Th-Century Inuit and Europeans in Southern Labrador RÉGINALD AUGER’
    ARCTIC VOL. 46, NO. 1 (MARCH 1993) P. 27-34 Late-18th- and Early-19th-Century Inuit and Europeans in Southern Labrador RÉGINALD AUGER’ (Received 3 December 1990; accepted in revised form 31 August 1992) ABSTRACT. The Inuit presence, except at Red Bay, is not archaeologically visibleuntil the end of the 18th century, despite the written accounts that documenttheir presence in theStrait of BelleIsle from as earlyas the 16thcentury. It appears that they were attracted by the increased European fishing activities in the area. The European presence consisted of fishermen (planterfishermen) posted at the best fishing locations in the Strait of Belle Isle. They adopted a housing style borrowed from the Labrador Inuit, and that trait is notable for the period between the last decade of the 18th century into the middle of the 19th century. The similarities observed between thetwo ethnic groups demonstrate how complex it is to differentiate them, as a result of cross-acculturation. The Inuit living in close proximity to European stations replaced their traditional material culture with European-made goods in a very short time period, while the European settlers were building sod houses identical to what we know of the 19th-century Labrador Inuit. Key words: Strait of Belle Isle, Labrador Inuit, Europeans, acculturation, historical archaeology, sod houses, 18th-19th century &SUMÉ. Contrairement il ce que nous apprenonsdes sources &rites qui nous suggbrent queles Inuit du Labrador frkquentaient le detroit de Belle Isle une pdriode aussi ancienne que le 16ihme sikcle, les resultats de recherches archblogiques demontrent qu’a l’exception des restes trouves Red Bay, leur presence n’est attest& qu’a la fin du 18ibme sibcle.
