  • Canarc Resource Corp. Hard Cash Project Summary
    CANARC RESOURCE CORP. T: 604.685.9700 www.canarc.net Suite 810 – 625 Howe Street F: 604.685.9744 CCM: TSX Vancouver, BC V6C 2T6 TF: 1.877.684.9700 CRCUF: OTCQX Canarc Resource Corp. Hard Cash Project Summary Canarc Resource Corp. ( Canarc ) is a Vancouver based gold exploration company with a number of projects in Nevada and British Columbia as well as the Hard Cash and Nigel properties in Nunavut. The Hard Cash property, consisting of Claims RLN 3-4 (K14329-30) covering 2,090 hectares on Crown Land, is located in the Ennadai Greenstone Belt in SW Nunavut on the shores of Ennadai Lake. The property is 405 km from Arviat, Nunavut, 310 km NE of Stony Rapids, Saskatchewan and is accessible by float plane or helicopter. There is an all-weather gravel airstrip at Ennadai Lake Lodge which is owned by Arctic Haven, 22 kms southwest of the property. Mineralization on the property was previously discovered by Don Cameron in 1946 at the Swamp Showing. The showing was staked and 9 shallow holes were drilled and several blast trenches excavated at the northern end of the Swamp Showing near Ennadai Lake. Giant Yellowknife Mines acquired the property in 1981 and took a claim to lease. Phelps Dodge optioned the lease and staked the surrounding area in 1995 and conducted surface exploration from 1995 to 1997. The claims were allowed to lapse and were re-staked by Panarc Resources in January 2011. In 2012, Panarc conducted prospecting and geological mapping focused on the Swamp Showing. The claims were subsequently sold to Silver Range Resources Ltd.

Arviat presents the authentic best in Nunavut tourism. If you are looking for a real arctic tourism experience Arviat offers spectacular wildlife viewing combined with an interactive cultural program providing insight into fascinating age old Inuit cultural traditions. Arviammiut (the people of Arviat) are your hosts in this magical land. We are a proud people living in harmony with the land and wildlife around us and we maintain a strong connection with our Inuit traditions and culture. This landscape has been occupied for thousands of years and much of the physical evidence of early occupations still survives due to the Arctic climate. Two National Historic Sites that can be easily accessed from the community are testament to the rich cultural heritage and resources on the land www.historicplaces.ca Come explore the land of the Inuit, with the Inuit. If you are interested in learning more about the Inuit of Arviat you can visit the Nanisiniq website: nanisiniq.tumblr.com Michelle Valberg 1 The Arviat Community Ecotourism (ACE) initiative is true community-based tourism.

  • 198 13. Repulse Bay. This Is an Important Summer Area for Seals
    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.

  • Peter Pitseolak and Zacharias Kunuk on Reclaiming Inuit Photographic Images and Imaging
    Decolonization: Indigeneity, Education & Society Vol. 3, No. 1, 2014, pp. 48-72 Control mapping: Peter Pitseolak and Zacharias Kunuk on reclaiming Inuit photographic images and imaging David Winfield Norman University of Oslo Abstract Inuit have been participating in the development of photo-reproductive media since at least the 19th century, and indeed much earlier if we continue on Michelle Raheja’s suggestion that there is much more behind Nanook’s smile than Robert Flaherty would have us believe. This paper examines how photographer Peter Pitseolak (1902-1973) and filmmaker Zacharias Kunuk have employed photography and film in relation to Raheja’s notion of “visual sovereignty” as a process of infiltrating media of representational control, altering their principles to visualize Indigenous ownership of their images. For camera-based media, this pertains as much to conceptions of time, continuity and “presence,” as to the broader dynamics of creative retellings. This paper will attempt to address such media-ontological shifts – in Pitseolak’s altered position as photographer and the effect this had on his images and the “presence” of his subjects, and in Kunuk’s staging of oral histories and, through the nature of film as an experience of “cinematic time,” composing time in a way that speaks to Inuit worldviews and life patterns – as radical renegotiations of the mediating properties of photography and film. In that they displace the Western camera’s hegemonic framing and time-based structures, repositioning Inuit “presence” and relations to land within the fundamental conditions of photo-reproduction, this paper will address these works from a position of decolonial media aesthetics, considering the effects of their works as opening up not only for more holistic, community-grounded representation models, but for expanding these relations to land and time directly into the expanded sensory field of media technologies.
