  • Diamond Mining and Tłįchǫ Youth in Behchokǫ̀, Northwest Territories
    ARCTIC VOL. 65, NO. 2 (JUNE 2012) P. 214 – 228 All That Glitters: Diamond Mining and Tłįchǫ Youth in Behchokǫ,̀ Northwest Territories COLLEEN M. DAVISON1 and PENELOPE HAWE2 (Received 5 March 2010; accepted in revised form 23 September 2011) ABSTRACT. Currently, Canada’s northern territories have three active diamond mines and one mine under construction, and one mine has recently closed. In response to local concerns, and in partnership with members of the Tłįchǫ First Nation, this ethnographic study examines the positive and detrimental impacts of diamond mining on youth in Behchokǫ,̀ Northwest Territories, using data collected from intensive fieldwork and participant observation, focus groups, interviews, and archival documents. The study of mining impacts remains a complex and contested field. Youth in Behchokǫ̀ experience both negative and positive effects of mining. Diamond mining companies are places of employment and act as community resources; their development has influenced the transience of individuals in the region, the identity and roles of family caregivers, the motivation of students, the purpose of schooling, and the level of economic prosperity in some (but not all) families. The diverse impacts of these changes on the health of northern individuals and communities can be understood only within the broader context of social, economic, political, and environmental changes occurring in the Arctic today. Results of this study help inform ongoing efforts by those in Behchokǫ̀ and the Northwest Territories to monitor the effects of diamond mining and maximize the potential benefits for local people, including youth. Key words: Aboriginal health, youth, diamond mining, resource development, education, employment, impacts and benefits RÉSUMÉ.

  • Compendium of Research in the Northwest Territories 2014
    Compendium of Research in the Northwest Territories 2014 www.nwtresearch.com This publication is a collaboration between the Aurora Research Institute, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Fisheries and Oceans Canada and the Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre. Thank you to all who submitted a summary of research or photographs, and helped make this publication possible. Editor: Ashley Mercer Copyright © 2015 ISSN: 1205-3910 Printed by Aurora Research Institute Foreword Welcome to the 2014 Compendium of Research in the Northwest Territories. This year marked a special anniversary for the Aurora Research Institute and northern research. Fifty years ago, the Inuvik Research Laboratory was built and has served as a hub for research in the western arctic ever since. The Lab, as it was known, was first built as an initiative of the Canadian federal government in the newly established community of Inuvik. It remains on the same site today, but in 2011, a new modern multi-purpose facility opened to continue to support research in the north. We have included a brief history of the Lab and its impact in this edition of the Compendium to mark its long lasting importance to many researchers and community members. As part of the 50th anniversary celebration, the Aurora Research Institute team undertook a full set of NWT-wide celebrations. We celebrated the history, capacity and growth of research in the NWT that touched all corners of the territory and beyond. We honoured the significant scientific contributions that have taken place in the NWT over the past 50 years, and the role of NWT researchers, technicians and citizens in these accomplishments.

  • A Review of the Occurrence of Pacific Salmon (Oncorhynchus Spp.) in the Canadian Western Arctic S.A
    ARCTIC VOL. 59, NO. 1 (MARCH 2006) P. 37–46 A Review of the Occurrence of Pacific Salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) in the Canadian Western Arctic S.A. STEPHENSON1 (Received 21 March 2005; accepted in revised form 29 June 2005) ABSTRACT. This manuscript summarizes all known captures of Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) in the Canadian western Arctic up to the end of 2003. Historic information on Pacific salmon distribution in the Canadian western Arctic is limited, and some older identifications are suspect. It is difficult to determine whether salmon numbers are actually increasing, or whether a recently established program to gather information on Pacific salmon abundance has only made them appear more abundant than historically. However, there is no evidence of newly established populations and overall not enough information to state definitively that salmon are increasing in frequency in the Canadian western Arctic as a direct result of climate change. Key words: Pacific salmon, Oncorhynchus spp., western Arctic, Northwest Territories, harvest, climate change RÉSUMÉ. Ce manuscrit résume toutes les captures connues de saumon du Pacifique (Oncorhynchus spp.) dans l’ouest de l’Arctique canadien jusqu’à la fin de 2003. Les données historiques portant sur la répartition du saumon du Pacifique sont restreintes, et certaines identifications plus anciennes sont douteuses. Il est difficile de déterminer si le nombre de saumons augmente réellement ou si le programme récemment mis sur pied pour recueillir de l’information sur l’abondance du saumon du Pacifique les fait paraître plus abondants qu’ils ne l’étaient historiquement. Toutefois, il n’existe aucune preuve de populations nouvellement établies et dans l’ensemble, il n’y a pas assez d’information pour affirmer de manière définitive que la fréquence du saumon augmente dans l’ouest de l’Arctique canadien directement en raison du changement climatique.

(date ) AESTRACT This study is concerned with the persistence of human life on the edge of the Canadian Barren Grounds. The Chipewyan make up the largest distinct linguistic and cultural group and are the most easterly among the Northern Athapaskan Indians, or Dene. Over many centuries, the Chipewyan have maintained a form of social life as an edge-of-the-forest people and people of the Barren Grounds to the west of Hudson Bay. The particular aim of this thesis is to attempt, through a survey of the ecological and historical 1iterature , to elucidate something of the traditional adaptive pattern of the Chipewyan in their explcitation of the subarc tic envirorient . Given the fragmentary nature of much of the historical evidence, our limited understanding of the subarctic environment, and the fact that the Chipewyan oecumene (way of looking at life) is largely denied to the modern observer, we acknowledge that this exercise in ecological and historical reconstruction is governed by serious hazards and limitations.

  • Fire Regimes in Nahanni National Park and the Mackenzie Bison Sanctuary, Northwest Territories, Canada
    FIRE REGIMES IN NAHANNI NATIONAL PARK AND THE MACKENZIE BISON SANCTUARY, NORTHWEST TERRITORIES, CANADA P.M. Bothwell, W.J. de Groot, and D.E. Dubé Canadian Forest Service, 5320 - 122 Street, Edmonton, AB T6H 3S5, Canada T. Chowns Resources, Wildlife, and Economic Development, Box 4354, Hay River, NWT X0E 1G3, Canada D.H. Carlsson and C.N. Stefner Canadian Forest Service, 5320 - 122 Street, Edmonton, AB T6H 3S5, Canada ABSTRACT Nahanni National Park and the Mackenzie Bison Sanctuary are ecologically important areas in the Northwest Territories. Fire history data in Nahanni National Park and the Mackenzie Bison Sanctuary were used for a comparative analysis in order to identify the most influential characteristics of their respective fire regimes. The Mackenzie Bison Sanctuary is located on the Taiga Plains and is surrounded to the east and south by Great Slave Lake. Nahanni National Park is located in the Mackenzie Mountains, approximately 500 km west of the Mackenzie Bison Sanctuary. Elevation relief in the Mackenzie Bison Sanctu­ ary is 160–260 m, and in Nahanni National Park is 180–2,640 m. Fuels are similar in both study areas and are dominated by low-density coniferous forest. Nahanni National Park has a significantly higher mean annual occurrence of very high and extreme classes of Canadian Fire Weather Index System codes and indices. Fire scar data indicate weighted mean fire return intervals (MFRIs) of 28 years and 27 years, respectively, for Nahanni National Park and the Mackenzie Bison Sanctuary. Area burned totals from a national database of fires greater than 200 ha in area suggest a fire cycle of 1,142 years and 199 years, respectively, for Nahanni National Park and the Mackenzie Bison Sanctuary.

This document represents the culmination of 15 years of land use planning with the purpose of protecting and promoting the existing and future well-being of the residents and communities of the Sahtu Settlement Area, having regard for the interests of all Canadians. From its beginnings in 1998, the Board’s early years focused on research, mapping, and public consultations to develop the goals and vision that are the foundation of the plan. From this a succession of 3 Draft Plans were written. Each Plan was submitted to a rigorous review process and refined through public meetings and written comments. This open and inclusive process was based on a balanced approach that considered how land use impacts the economic, cultural, social, and environmental values of the Sahtu Settlement Area. The current board would like to acknowledge the contributions of former board members and staff that helped us arrive at this significant milestone. Also, we would like to extend our gratitude to the numerous individuals and organizations who offered their time, energy, ideas, opinions, and suggestions that shaped the final Sahtu Land Use Plan.

  • Hay River Region
    The Hay Water RiverMonitoring Activities in the Hay River Region Kátåo’dehé at Enterprise Kátåo’dehé is the South Slavey Dene name for the Hay River. In Chipewyan, the Hay River is Hátå’oresche. In Cree, it is Maskosï-Sïpiy. The Hay River is a culturally significant river for Northerners and an integral part of the Mackenzie River Basin. Given its importance, there are several monitoring initiatives in the region designed to better understand the river and to detect changes. The information collected through these programs can also help to address questions that people may have. While amounts vary from year to year, the volume of water in the Hay River has remained relatively stable since monitoring began in 1963. Only a slight increasing trend in winter flow was revealed. Some changes in water quality were also found, such as increasing trends in phosphorus and decreasing trends in calcium, magnesium and sulphate. This means that the levels of these substances have changed since sampling began in 1988. Further work is needed to understand the ecological significance of these trends. Overall, the water quality and quantity of the Hay River is good. Continued monitoring activities will increase our knowledge of this important river and identify change. It is important that all water partners work closely together on any monitoring initiatives. 1 Water Monitoring Activities in the Hay River Region For information regarding reproduction rights, please contact Public Works and Government Services Canada at: (613) 996-6886 or at: [email protected] www.aandc.gc.ca 1-800-567-9604 TTY only 1-866-553-0554 QS-Y389-000-EE-A1 Catalogue: R3-206/2014E ISBN: 978-1-100-233343-7 © Her Majesty the Queen in right of Canada, represented by the Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada, 2014 This Publication is also available in French under the title: La Rivière Hay : activités de surveillance de l’eau dans la région de la rivière Hay.
