    42. Aboriginal Whaling and Identity in the Twenty-First Century 16286 - The Visual narratives and the depiction of whaling in north European prehistory over the long dure Presentation type: Oral presentation Author(s): Janik, Liliana (Dept of Archaeology and Anthropology, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, United Arab / Ver.Arab.) The tradition of whaling can be traced far back into the ancient history of early societies in northern Europe, even though most of the communities involved in whaling are long disappeared. The heritage of these societies, however, is not forgotten and can be seen in the images carved into rock surfaces thousands of years ago. This presentation introduces some exceptional examples of this rock art featuring whaling from the estuary of the River Vig, which flows into the White Sea in northern Russia. These carvings were made between about 5,500 and 3,000 years ago. This rock art has been the focus of a major international research project over the past decade, lead by the University of Cambridge. Our research has examined how the visual narratives of whaling changed over time, and raises questions about techniques of whaling, who participated in the act of whale hunting, and the nature of the stories being told, pecked into the rock surfaces by prehistoric carvers. The paper presents an analysis of a series of individual compositions that demonstrate the form of communication between the carver and the viewer, a form of communication which we can understand as a series of as intentional acts that can still be deciphered today, and that give us a glimpse into the ancient past.

  • Toothed Vs. Baleen Whales Monday
    SPOT THE DIFFERENCE: TOOTHED VS. BALEEN WHALES MONDAY Their classifications help to give you the answer, so what do you think the most obvious difference is in a toothed whale versus a baleen whale? Your clues are in the close-up photos, below! PHOTO: TASLI SHAW PHOTO: CINDY HANSEN Answer: The most obvious difference between a toothed whale and a baleen whale is the way that they feed and what’s inside their mouth. Toothed whales (including all dolphins and porpoises) have teeth, like we do, and they actively hunt fish, squid, and other sea creatures. Their teeth help them capture, bite, and tear their food into smaller pieces before swallowing. Baleen whales have several hundred plates that hang from their upper jaw, instead of teeth. These plates are made of keratin, the same substance as our hair and fingernails, and are used to filter food from the water or the sediment. Once the food has been trapped in the baleen plates, the whales will use their massive tongues to scrape the food off and swallow it. SPOT THE DIFFERENCE: TOOTHED VS. BALEEN WHALES TUESDAY The photos provided show specific prey types for resident orcas and for the gray whales that stop to feed in Saratoga Passage in the spring. Besides being two different species, what is another difference between these prey types? Who eats what and what makes you think that? Answer: The photos show Chinook salmon and ghost shrimp. Other than being two different species, their main difference is size! A toothed whale, like a resident orca, uses their teeth to capture, bite, and tear Chinook salmon into smaller pieces to be shared with other orcas in their family.

  • Fishery Oceanographic Study on the Baleen Whaling Grounds
    FISHERY OCEANOGRAPHIC STUDY ON THE BALEEN WHALING GROUNDS KEIJI NASU INTRODUCTION A Fishery oceanographic study of the whaling grounds seeks to find the factors control­ ling the abundance of whales in the waters and in general has been a subject of interest to whalers. In the previous paper (Nasu 1963), the author discussed the oceanography and baleen whaling grounds in the subarctic Pacific Ocean. In this paper, the oceanographic environment of the baleen whaling grounds in the coastal region ofJapan, subarctic Pacific Ocean, and Antarctic Ocean are discussed. J apa­ nese oceanographic observations in the whaling grounds mainly have been carried on by the whaling factory ships and whale making research boats using bathyther­ mographs and reversing thermomenters. Most observations were made at surface. From the results of the biological studies on the whaling grounds by Marr ( 1956, 1962) and Nemoto (1959) the author presumed that the feeding depth is less than about 50 m. Therefore, this study was made mainly on the oceanographic environ­ ment of the surface layer of the whaling grounds. In the coastal region of Japan Uda (1953, 1954) plotted the maps of annual whaling grounds for each 10 days and analyzed the relation between the whaling grounds and the hydrographic condition based on data of the daily whaling reports during 1910-1951. A study of the subarctic Pacific Ocean whaling grounds in relation to meteorological and oceanographic conditions was made by U da and Nasu (1956) and Nasu (1957, 1960, 1963). Nemoto (1957, 1959) also had reported in detail on the subject from the point of the food of baleen whales and the ecology of plankton.

  • The Bowhead Vs. the Gray Whale in Chukotkan Aboriginal Whaling IGOR I
    ARCTIC VOL. 40, NO. 1 (MARCH 1987) P. 16-32 The Bowhead vs. the Gray Whale in Chukotkan Aboriginal Whaling IGOR I. KRUPNIK’ (Received 5 September 1984; accepted in revised form 22 July 1986) ABSTRACT. Active whaling for large baleen whales -mostly for bowhead (Balaena mysricetus) and gray whales (Eschrichrius robustus)-has been practiced by aborigines on the Chukotka Peninsula since at least the early centuries of the Christian era. Thehistory of native whaling off Chukotka may be divided into four periods according to the hunting methods used and the primary species pursued: ancient or aboriginal (from earliest times up to the second half of the 19th century); rraditional (second half of the 19th century to the1930s); transitional (late 1930s toearly 1960s); and modern (from the early 1960s). The data on bowhead/gray whale bone distribution in theruins of aboriginal coastal sites, available catch data from native settlements from the late 19th century and local oral tradition prove to be valuable sources for identifying specific areas of aboriginal whaling off Chukotka. Until the 1930s, bowhead whales generally predominated in the native catch; gray whales were hunted periodically or locally along restricted parts of the coast. Some 8-10 bowheads and 3-5 gray whales were killed on the average in a “good year”by Chukotka natives during the early 20th century. Around the mid-20th century, however, bowheads were completely replaced by gray whales. On the basis of this experience, the author believes that the substitution of gray whales for bowheads, proposed recently by conservationists for modemAlaska Eskimos, would be unsuccessful.

  • Supporting Bereaved Children and Young People During Early Years, Primary, Secondary and Further Education PRELUDE
    Supporting Bereaved Children and Young People During Early Years, Primary, Secondary and Further Education PRELUDE Prelude Simon Says supports children and young people, in Hampshire, up to the age of 18 years who have experienced bereavement or are coping with the terminal illness of someone close. For many children and young people it makes a huge difference when teachers and staff within their educational settings, have some understanding of the emotions and feelings they may suffer after a bereavement. Simon Says has put together this pack to assist you in coping with a death within your setting’s community. This might be the death of a child or young person, the death of a member of staff or the death of someone in a child/young person’s family. We hope that the pack will give you added confidence when coping with such difficult issues. Always be aware of your own feelings and emotions: you may also have been affected by events or by memories of past personal experiences. Remember that, for advice and support, Simon Says is here to help you. i Simon Says offers Bereavement Support to Children and Young People in Hampshire BACKGROUND OF SIMON SAYS Background to Simon Says Simon Stanley was a 37 year old teacher from Southampton when he died from cancer. His wife Sally found there was no bereavement support locally for their two small children. Their experience led to the establishment in 2001 of Simon Says as a registered charity. Research has shown that the Stanleys’ experience is not unique and there is a wider need to provide resources and information to children, parents and professionals who work with children and young people.

  • Whale Species
    Whale鯨の種類 species Whales are grouped as baleen whales (14 species) or toothed whales (70 species). Baleen whales have baleen plates in the upper jaws and two blowholes on the top of their heads. Toothed whales bear teeth and a single blowhole. Dolphins and porpoises are whales below 4 meters in length. Baleen whale examples Blue whale Bryde’s whale Fin whale Sei whale Humpback whale Minke whale Antarctic minke whale Bowhead whale Gray whale Toothed whale examples Beluga Sperm whale Pilot whale Killer whale Bottlenose dolphin Baird’s beaked whale Origin of the term "kujira" (whale) Although there is no definite etymology for the Japanese word for whale (“kujira”), according to one theory, since whales have big mouths, “kujira” was derived from the term “kuchihiro” (wide mouth). It is also said that in ancient Korean language, the particle “ku” meant big size, “shishi” indicated a beast or animal, and “ra” represented a postfix; the term “kushirara” shortened to “kujira”. The kanji character representing “kujira” means big fish. Another term used in Japan for whale is “isana” and is usually written with the two kanji characters indicating “brave fish”. In the Manyoshu, the oldest existing collection of Japanese poetry, the term “isanatori” (whale hunter) was used as a customary epithet in sea-related context. It is also said that the term “isana” has its origins in the ancient Korean language, meaning “big fish”. Reference: Kujira to Nihon-jin (Seiji Ohsumi, Iwanami Shincho). 1 What is the IWC?
