Ali) December 2006 Three representations of the Kivalliq District, Nunavut Clockwise from upper left: project map released to the media by Titan Uranium; satellite image from Google Maps; caribou ranges mapped by Beverly-Qamanirjuaq Caribou Management Board “The Kiggavik Project near Baker Lake never went ahead. It is possible that, because of changing market conditions and the superior ore grades in neighboring Saskatchewan, 1989-90 had provided a window of opportunity for its development that was never to be repeated.” -Robert McPherson 2003, New Owners in the Own Land adapted from Cameco Corporation, 2006; not constant dollars Introduction In a plebiscite held on March 26, 1990, residents of the hamlet of Baker Lake (in what was then the District of Keewatin, Northwest Territories, now the District of Kivalliq, Nunavut, Canada), voted overwhelmingly against the development of a uranium mine by Urangesellschaft Canada Ltd. (UG) at a nearby site called Kiggavik, part of what prospectors know as the Thelon Basin. As a result, UG never explored its claims. In August of the same year, Bob Leonard, the president of the Keewatin Chamber of Commerce stated, “We are in an economic crisis. The economy in the Keewatin is in a mess. We are totally dependent on government spending and there’s no way that can continue.”1 The opening quote by Robert McPherson, a mining consultant in the Nunavut land claims negotiations, suggests that as recently as 2003, uranium mining near Baker Lake was, for many reasons, considered a non-option.

  • Baker Lake HTO Presentation on Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit of Caribou Habitat
    Baker Lake Hunters and Trappers Organization Presentation to Nunavut Wildlife Management Board Caribou Habitat Workshop November 4th, 2015 Iqaluit, Nunavut Basil Quinangnaq and Warren Bernauer Introduction • The Baker Lake Hunters and Trappers Organization (HTO) has requested mining and exploration activity be banned in caribou calving grounds and at important caribou water crossings. • This request is based on Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit – the traditional knowledge and teachings passed on from generations, and the wisdom and values of Baker Lake Elders • Baker Lake hunters and Elders have been fighting to protect these areas for decades • In September 2015, the Baker Lake HTO held a workshop with hunters and Elders, to discuss and share knowledge about these sensitive areas • In preparation for the workshop, Warren Bernauer conducted background research for the HTO. Warren wrote a report summarizing the documented knowledge of these areas, the importance of these areas to Inuit, and the long history of Baker Lake hunters fighting to protect these areas. Caribou Water Crossings • Caribou water crossings are some of the most important areas for caribou hunting for Baker Lake Inuit, both historically and today. • Caribou are very sensitive to disturbance at water crossings. • Inuit have many traditional rules for how water crossings should be treated. o Do not walk, hunt, skin animals, cache meat or camp on the side of the river where caribou enter the water. Even footprints will disturb caribou. o Camp upstream from water crossings; camps should not be visible from the crossing o Clean up all animal remains near a crossing. Even blood on the ground should be buried.

  • Arctic Science Day
    Arctic Science Day An Introduction to Arctic Systems Science Research Conducted at the Centre for Earth Observation Science (U of MB) Produced by: Michelle Watts Schools on Board Program Coordinator Arctic Geography – a brief introduction The Arctic Region is the region around the North Pole, usually understood as the area within the Arctic Circle. It includes parts of Russia, Scandinavia, Greenland, Canada, Alaska and the Arctic Ocean. The Arctic is a single, highly integrated system comprised of a deep, ice covered and nearly isolated ocean surrounded by the land masses of Eurasia and North America. It is made up of a range of land-and seascapes from mountains and glaciers to flat plains, from coastal shallows to deep ocean basins, from polar deserts to sodden wetlands, from large rivers to isolated ponds. Sea ice, permafrost, glaciers, ice sheets, and river and lake ice are all characteristic parts of the Arctic’s physical geography (see circumpolar map) Inuit Regions of Canada (www.itk.ca) Inuit Regions of Canada – See Map Inuit Nuanagat There are four Inuit regions in Canada, collectively known as Inuit Nunangat. The term “Inuit Nunangat” is a Canadian Inuit term that includes land, water, and ice. Inuit consider the land, water, and ice, of our homeland to be integral to our culture and our way of life. Inuvialuit (Northwest Territories) The Inuvialuit region comprises the northwestern part of the Northwest Territories. In 1984, the Inuvialuit, federal and territorial governments settled a comprehensive land claims agreement, giving Inuvialuit surface and subsurface (mining) rights to most of the region. The Agreement ensures environmental protection, harvesting rights and Inuvialuit participation and support in many economic development initiatives.

  • Community Experiences of Mining in Baker Lake, Nunavut
    Community Experiences of Mining in Baker Lake, Nunavut by Kelsey Peterson A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Geography Guelph, Ontario, Canada ©Kelsey Peterson, April, 2012 ABSTRACT COMMUNITY EXPERIENCES OF MINING IN BAKER LAKE, NUNAVUT Kelsey Peterson Advisor: University of Guelph, 2012 Professor Ben Bradshaw With recent increases in mineral prices, the Canadian Arctic has experienced a dramatic upswing in mining development. With the development of the Meadowbank gold mine, the nearby Hamlet of Baker Lake, Nunavut is experiencing these changes firsthand. In response to an invitation from the Hamlet of Baker Lake, this research document residents’ experiences with the Meadowbank mine. These experiences are not felt homogeneously across the community; indeed, residents’ experiences with mining have been mixed. Beyond this core finding, the research suggests four further notable insights: employment has provided the opportunity for people to elevate themselves out of welfare/social assistance; education has become more common, but some students are leaving high school to pursue mine work; and local businesses are benefiting from mining contracts, but this is limited to those companies pre-existing the mine. Finally, varied individual experiences are in part generated by an individual’s context including personal context and choices. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis would not have been possible without the support and assistance of several key people. My advisor, Ben Bradshaw, has been instrumental in all stages of pre- research, research and writing. From accepting me to the program and connecting me to Baker Lake to funding my research and reading innumerable drafts of the written thesis, Professor Bradshaw has been critical to this research project.

Combinés aux effets de la mondialisation, les changements environnementaux touchent les Inuits de cette région et imposent des contraintes importantes sur leur mode de vie traditionnel, ce qui a des répercussions sur leur langue et les savoirs qui l'accompagnent. Cette étude compare deux aspects de l’ethnobiologie inuite : a) les noms et les utilisations des plantes par les Inuits de Nain, Nunatsiavut, suivis par une comparaison des utilisations avec la communauté inuite de Kangiqsualujjuaq, Nunavik, et b) une analyse des types de lieux ou d’habitats que les Inuits reconnaissent et nomment. Des interviews semi-dirigés ont été menés à Nain, Nunatsiavut et à Kangiqsualujjuaq, au Nunavik. Les plantes mentionnées sont utilisées comme aliment, thé, médecine, combustible, construction, nettoyage, et autres utilisations. Les deux communautés ont utilisé un nombre égal de plantes, avec des proportions équivalentes de taxons vasculaires/invasculaires, de formes de croissance (habitus), et d’espèces par catégorie d'utilisation.

  • Baker Lake 2009 Baker Lake, Or Qamani’Tuuq, Is Situated Inland, at the Huge Widening at the Mouth of the Thelon River, Close to the Geographic Centre of Canada
    Baker Lake 2009 Baker Lake, or Qamani’tuuq, is situated inland, at the huge widening at the mouth of the Thelon River, close to the geographic centre of Canada. Baker Lake is well known for its arts and craft community. Distinguished artists and studios promoting arts and crafts, such as the Inuit Heritage Centre, the Jessie Oonark Centre, and well-established independent art galleries are assets to the community’s arts and craft industry. The natural resource industry could also have a significant impact on the economic development of Baker Lake. Further development of the Meawdowbank gold deposit, now at the initial review stages with their environmental impact statement, has already created numerous local hires. If mine proceeds into operation, more jobs will be available at the mine site, approximately 70kms from Baker Lake. From administration to cooking to heavy equipment operation, community council is now proactively looking into training programs to prepare its residents for the assortment of jobs that may be available.

  • Satellite Microwave Assessment of Northern Hemisphere Lake Ice Phenology from 2002 to 2015“ by Jinyang Du, John S
    Reply to RC2 for the manuscript “Satellite Microwave Assessment of Northern Hemisphere Lake Ice Phenology from 2002 to 2015“ by Jinyang Du, John S. Kimball, Claude Duguay, Youngwook Kim, and Jennifer D. Watts Dear Anonymous Referee #2, thank you for your helpful comments on our manuscript. Please find below our responses to all the comments (in bold and italic). The changes on the manuscript were highlighted in blue. This manuscript presents a new methodology to apply the use of passive microwave imagery (AMSR-E/2) to create an automated daily ice phenology product utilized for monitoring freshwater lake ice. The daily temporal ability, unhindered by cloud and polar darkness allows for a global product at a resolution and accuracy that can of benefit climate modelling and global change studies. This manuscript is well written and a valuable contribution to the freshwater ice research field. The inclusion of cited literature is light in the introduction section and could use some strengthening; however overall, the manuscript is clear, concise and suitable for publication with only minor revision to the text and figures. No particular scientific issues arise from this review. The validation of the new passive microwave based product is limited by the lack of existing observation data from lakes, however including the comparison to the CIS dataset and the IMS product strengthens the validation sufficiently. Reply: Thank you for the comments. The following is a list of some minor typographical suggestions and some points to clarify the figures: Line 11 : Previous studies have documented significantly earlier ice break-up between 1951 and 2000 for lakes in Canada (Duguay et al., 2006) and decreasing lake ice cover of Lake Ladoga in Europe during the last few decades (Karetnikov and Naumenko, 2008).
