The Tuktu and Nogak Project Final Report: A Caribou Chronicle Summary The Tuktu and Nogak Project was a community-driven effort to document Inuit knowledge about caribou and calving areas in the Bathurst Inlet region. The idea for the Project originated at the Kugluktuk1 Angoniatit Association (KAA) in 1996. Since this time, the Project evolved into a regional effort led by an advisory committee called the Tuktu and Nogak Board. This Board consists of elders and other community members, mostly from Umingmaktuuk (Bay Chimo) and Kingauk (Bathurst Inlet), although Kugluktuk (Coppermine) and Ikaluktuuttiak (Cambridge Bay) were also included so that people who used to live, travel, hunt and/or trap in the study region were also consulted. The study area is defined as the historical and current hunting grounds of the communities of Umingmaktuuk and Kingauk. Individuals from Kugluktuk and Ikaluktuuttiak are also consulted so as to include former residents of these primary communities and people who have hunted, trapped or traveled in the region. The project officially began in the summer of 1997 and was finished in 2001. The goal of the project, as defined by the Board, was to collect and share Inuit knowledge of caribou and calving grounds to improve caribou management in the Bathurst Inlet region for present and future generations in Nunavut. This knowledge will assist northerners understand Arctic environments, improve wildlife management, and assess possible effects from use of Inuit lands and resources. Results from this regional project could easily be applied to other areas in Nunavut and the Slave Geological Province. Inuit knowledge of caribou and calving grounds was collected through interviews with elders and hunters. Community members suggested that trips on the land would be the best place to record stories because this where people hunt and observe caribou. As a result, an elder-youth camp held on the Hiukkittaak River during the summer of 1998 provided opportunities for researchers to record traditional stories and observations of 1 Other than this official name, please note that within this report Inuinnaqtun place names follow the new language system. Instructors from Nunavut Arctic College provided place names for Kugluktuk (Kugluktuk), Cambridge Bay (Ikaluktuuttiak), Bathurst Inlet (Kingauk) and Bay Chimo (Umingmaktuuk). i The Tuktu and Nogak Project Final Report: A Caribou Chronicle caribou. It also brought together elders and youth from different communities to strengthen Inuit culture. Information collected through interviews with 37 elders and hunters is recorded on over 100 one-hour audiotapes. Words on these tapes were copied (or transcribed) onto paper and translated into English and Inuinnaqtun. Next, those people who were interviewed checked the information on paper to make sure that the words were right. This was to make sure that they were accurate so that they can be used in the final report and a computer database that links words and stories with places on the map. While members of agencies like to have reports, people in communities prefer videos of their work. Accordingly, videos and photographs were taken and returned to communities throughout the project. A collection of slides and photos was burned onto a CD. Videos, audiotapes, transcripts and reports are kept in the communities to be used by elders, youth and other community members. All information from the transcripts has been entered into an interactive textual and spatial computer database system so that regional Inuit and Nunavut agencies can use it to make decisions about lands and resources. People who were interviewed have made all decisions related to how, where and when the information that they shared will be used in the future. ii The Tuktu and Nogak Project Final Report: A Caribou Chronicle Acknowledgements Qitirmiut elders and other community members have taught us a lifetime of stories in our moments sharing muqpauyaq (fry bread) and mipku (dry meat). Quana (thank you), for your laughter, brilliance, patience, forgiveness, graciousness, and compassion. You have shown us a glimpse of the ocean through a crack in the sea ice. On behalf of the Tuktu and Nogak Board, we wish to thank everybody who shared their knowledge and experiences with the Tuktu and Nogak Project. We are grateful to the elders and other community members who gave us the faith, and support we needed to make the Tuktu and Nogak Project a success. We hope that we have made you special people proud. The Tuktu and Nogak Project relied upon a unique collaboration between elders, hunters, youth, researchers, and academics from the initial stages of community consultation to the production of this final report. Such co-operation would not have been possible without the enormous camaraderie, trust, and dedication demonstrated by many people. Interviews with hunters and elders were led by Sandra Eyegetok, Naikak Hakongak, Nancy Haniliak, Eileen Kakolak, Myste Kamingoak, Eva Komak, Meyok Omilgoitok, Karen Ongahak,

  • Mining for Power: Uranium Mining in Baker Lake Nunavut
    Mining for Power: Uranium and the Community of Baker Lake, Nunavut Elaine Wang, University of Vermont (prepared for ENVS 295, Dr. Saleem H. 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.

  • Lesser Snow Goose EN
    Introduction This bird • has evolved a strong serrated bill and tongue to cut and tear the roots of bulrushes and sedges • often has a rusty orange face, because its feathers have been stained by iron in the earth where the bird feeds • is probably the most abundant goose in Canada • unlike most other waterfowl, usually nests in large colonies with densities of up to 2 000 pairs per square kilometre Description The Lesser Snow Goose Chen caerulescens caerulescens has two different appearances, white phase and blue phase. The plumage of white-phase geese is almost completely white, except for black wing tips. The blue-phase goose has a white head, a bluish colour on the feathers of the lower back and flanks, and a body that ranges in colour from very pale, almost white, to very dark. Both the white- and blue-phase snow geese frequently have rusty orange faces, because their feathers have been stained by iron in the earth where the birds feed. The downy goslings of the white-phase geese are yellow, those of the blue phase nearly black. By two months of age the young birds of both colour phases are grey with black wing tips, although the immature blue-phase birds are generally a darker grey and have some light feathers on the chin and throat, which can become stained like those of the adults. The goslings have mostly lost their grey coloring by the following spring; in April and May they may only show a few flecks of darker coloring on their head and neck, and a few grey feathers on their wings that distinguish them from adults.

  • Canadian Airmen Lost in Wwii by Date 1943
    CANADA'S AIR WAR 1945 updated 21/04/08 January 1945 424 Sqn. and 433 Sqn. begin to re-equip with Lancaster B.I & B.III aircraft (RCAF Sqns.). 443 Sqn. begins to re-equip with Spitfire XIV and XIVe aircraft (RCAF Sqns.). Helicopter Training School established in England on Sikorsky Hoverfly I helicopters. One of these aircraft is transferred to the RCAF. An additional 16 PLUTO fuel pipelines are laid under the English Channel to points in France (Oxford). Japanese airstrip at Sandakan, Borneo, is put out of action by Allied bombing. Built with forced labour by some 3,600 Indonesian civilians and 2,400 Australian and British PoWs captured at Singapore (of which only some 1,900 were still alive at this time). It is decided to abandon the airfield. Between January and March the prisoners are force marched in groups to a new location 160 miles away, but most cannot complete the journey due to disease and malnutrition, and are killed by their guards. Only 6 Australian servicemen are found alive from this group at the end of the war, having escaped from the column, and only 3 of these survived to testify against their guards. All the remaining enlisted RAF prisoners of 205 Sqn., captured at Singapore and Indonesia, died in these death marches (Jardine, wikipedia). On the Russian front Soviet and Allied air forces (French, Czechoslovakian, Polish, etc, units flying under Soviet command) on their front with Germany total over 16,000 fighters, bombers, dive bombers and ground attack aircraft (Passingham & Klepacki). During January #2 Flying Instructor School, Pearce, Alberta, closes (http://www.bombercrew.com/BCATP.htm).

  • Tukitaaqtuq Explain to One Another, Reach Understanding, Receive Explanation from the Past and the Eskimo Identification Canada System
    Tukitaaqtuq explain to one another, reach understanding, receive explanation from the past and The Eskimo Identification Canada System by Norma Jean Mary Dunning A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Faculty of Native Studies University of Alberta ©Norma Jean Mary Dunning, 2014 ABSTRACT The government of Canada initiated, implemented, and officially maintained the ‘Eskimo Identification Canada’ system from 1941-1971. With the exception of the Labrador Inuit, who formed the Labrador Treaty of 1765 in what is now called, NunatuKavat, all other Canadian Inuit peoples were issued a leather-like necklace with a numbered fibre-cloth disk. These stringed identifiers attempted to replace Inuit names, tradition, individuality, and indigenous distinctiveness. This was the Canadian governments’ attempt to exert a form of state surveillance and its official authority, over its own Inuit citizenry. The Eskimo Identification Canada system, E- number, or disk system eventually became entrenched within Inuit society, and in time it became a form of identification amongst the Inuit themselves. What has never been examined by an Inuk researcher, or student is the long-lasting affect these numbered disks had upon the Inuit, and the continued impact into present-day, of this type of state-operated system. The Inuit voice has not been heard or examined. This research focuses exclusively on the disk system itself and brings forward the voices of four disk system survivors, giving voice to those who have been silenced for far too long. i PREFACE This thesis is an original work by Norma Dunning.
