Naskapi Nation of Kawawachikamach Naskapi Nation of Kawawachikamach Annual Report 2009-10 1 April 2009 to 31 March 2010 Naskapi Nation of Kawawachikamach | ANNUAL REPORT 2009-10 | 1 2 | Naskapi Nation of Kawawachikamach | ANNUAL REPORT 2009-10 Message | From the Chief On behalf of Council, I am pleased to present the Annual Report for the 2009-10 fiscal year. Through the collective efforts of Council and many individuals and organizations, we accomplished a great deal in the fiscal year under review. Some of the highlights include: • the signing of the Naskapi-Québec Partnership Agreement; • the expansion of cellular telephone service by Lynx Mobility Inc.; • the continuation of the exercise programme at the Recreation Facility to combat the increasing incidence of diabetes among our members; and • the Healing Canoe Journey and the Uashat Youth Gathering. Despite our successes and accomplishments, there are challenges that we continue to face: • the payment of rent for housing. Although there are tenants who are up-to-date with their rent payments, many have arrears. This means that Council is essentially subsidizing those tenants who have arrears rather than paying for further housing maintenance and additional house construction. All tenants, including persons living with them, are strongly encouraged to pay rent, including arrears, on a regular basis; and • vandalism to houses and public buildings. A reduction in vandalism will reduce repair costs, and the savings could then be applied to house maintenance and construction or to other community priorities. Council appeals to all community members to join together and meet these and the other challenges facing our community. We would also like to express our appreciation to everyone who helps to build and enrich our community through their active involvement in boards and committees, and to those individuals who volunteer their time to help implement community initiatives, especially those that benefit our Elders and youths. In closing, I extend condolences on behalf of Council and all Naskapis to those families who have lost loved ones over the past year – we share your loss and our prayers are with you. I offer also congratulations to families who have had the joy of a newborn child – may her or his future be bright!

  • Past Tense, Imperfective Aspect, and Irreality in Cree
    143 PAST TENSE, IMPERFECTIVE ASPECT, AND IRREALITY IN CREE Deborah James Scarborough College, University of Toronto In the Cree-Montagnais-Naskapi language complex, and also in at least some other Algonquian languages as well, there are two differ­ ent types of morphological device for indicating past tense. One of these is the use of a prefix, which in Cree-Montagnais-Naskapi takes the form /ki:/ or /ci:/.1 The other is the use of what are known in the literature as "preterit" suffixes. In the dialect of Moose Factory, Ontario, with which this paper will be primarily concerned, the pre­ terit suffix takes the form /htay/ when the verb is in the indepen­ dent indicative and when either the subject or the object of the verb is first or second person, and it take a form characterized basically by the element /pan/ in all other cases.2 It is of interest to ask how, if at all, these two devices for indicating past tense differ from each other in meaning and usage. In this paper, I will examine in detail one dialect, the Mosse Cree dialect, and I will show that there are two major types of difference between the /ki:/ prefix and the pre­ terit suffix. The first difference involves an aspectual distinction; the second involves the fact that the preterit—but not /ki:/—can be used to indicate things which are not past tense at all, but are instead hypothetical or irreal. And it will be shown that this latter use of the preterit is semantically linked both with its use to indicate past tense and also more specifically with its use to indicate aspect.

  • Spring Survey of Caribou in the Vicinity of Schefferville May 2009
    SPRING SURVEY OF CARIBOU IN THE VICINITY OF SCHEFFERVILLE MAY 2009 Prepared for: NEW MILLENNIUM CAPITAL CORP. AND LABRADOR IRON MINES LIMITED FINAL REPORT – WITHOUT PREJUDICE Natalie D’Astous, Groupe Hémisphères Perry Trimper, Jacques Whitford Stantec Limited November 2009 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY During May 2009, Labrador Iron Mines Limited and New Millennium Capital Corp. partnered to complete an aerial survey for caribou in consultation with the Newfoundland and Labrador Wildlife Division. Both companies are undergoing environmental reviews for mining projects located in the vicinity of Schefferville, Quebec. Working under the regulatory direction of the Provincial Wildlife Division in Newfoundland and Labrador and the ministère des Ressources naturelles et de la Faune du Quebec, consultants for these proponents (i.e., Jacques Whitford Stantec Limited (JWSL) and Groupe Hémisphères (GH), respectively) worked together to assess the presence/absence of sedentary caribou in the area surrounding these proposed iron ore developments. The survey was a requirement of the Newfoundland and Labrador environmental assessment process. Prior to field investigations, a literature search was conducted to identify a Study Area of 50 km in radius centred on each proposed development. Letters explaining the objectives and other aspects of the survey were sent to the leaders of the local First Nations concerned, namely the Innu Nation, Innu Takuaikan Uashat mak Mani-Utenam, the Naskapi Nation of Kawawachikamach and the Nation Innu Matimekush-Lac John. Given the presence of staging waterfowl, a portion of Attikamagen and Petitsikapau Lakes was avoided to reduce potential effects on the goose hunting activities being conducted at the time, at the request of these leaders.

  • St Lawrence Saga: the Clarke Steamship Story
    ST LAWRENCE SAGA: THE CLARKE STEAMSHIP STORY © Kevin Griffin 2013 CHAPTER 10 The s.s. North Coaster, one of three “B” Type coasters owned and operated by Clarke THE QUEBEC NORTH SHORE, NEWFOUNDLAND AND CHARTERING While the 1950s would bring an economic boom to the Quebec North Shore, the fleet now serving this coast consisted of the North Shore, North Pioneer and North Coaster, and the North Gaspé by winter. Clarke was well placed to participate in this growth. Equally, with Newfoundland having become part of Canada in 1949, the Gulfport and Novaport formed the core of the company's service to Canada's tenth province. But Clarke ships alone would not be able to satisfy the demand. Clarke ships had always carried both passengers and cargo, but the latter was now becoming increasingly more important. In addition to general cargo, project cargo would flow to the mining and power developments springing up in Quebec and Labrador and consumer traffic would grow to Newfoundland, while backhaul cargoes would be loaded for delivery to Port Alfred, Quebec, Trois-Rivières and Montreal. To serve these markets, more ships would soon have to be chartered in to supplement the core fleet. While the late 1940s had often seen Clarke chartering its ships to others, the 1950s would turn out to be Clarke's biggest period by far for chartering ships from other owners. From early days the company had been active in chartering vessels as required for its various scheduled and non-scheduled services. These ships were normally paid for on the basis of a negotiated amount of charter hire per day, called time charter, although there were occasions when the company would engage ships for a lump sum for delivery of a certain cargo on a voyage charter.
