    DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Fish and Wildlife Service 50 CFR Part 17 [FWS-R7-ES-2009-0024] [MO9221050083-B2] Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; 12-Month Finding on a Petition to List the Yellow-Billed Loon as Threatened or Endangered AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior. ACTION: Notice of 12-month petition finding. SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), announce a 12-month finding on a petition to list the yellow-billed loon (Gavia adamsii) as threatened or endangered, with critical habitat, under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended 1 (Act). The petitioners provided two listing options for consideration by the Service: (1) listing the yellow-billed loon throughout its range, or (2) listing the United States population of the yellow-billed loon as a Distinct Population Segment (DPS). After a review of the best available scientific and commercial information, we have determined that listing the yellow-billed loon rangewide under the Act is warranted but precluded by other higher priority listing actions. DATES: This finding was made on [INSERT DATE OF PUBLICATION IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER]. ADDRESSES: This finding is available on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov. Data, information, comments, or questions regarding this notice should be submitted to the Field Supervisor, Endangered Species Branch, Fairbanks Fish and Wildlife Field Office, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 101-12th Ave., Room 110, Fairbanks, AK 99701. The complete administrative file for this finding is available for public inspection, by appointment, during normal business hours at the above address. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.

  • Classic Thule [Classic Precontact Inuit]
    OUP UNCORRECTED PROOF – FIRSTPROOFS, Fri Apr 22 2016, NEWGEN Chapter 35 Classic Thule [Classic Precontact Inuit] Peter Whitridge Introduction The precontact Inuit (“Classic Thule”) lifeworld can readily be carved up into a series of discrete topical areas reflecting such things as the history of research, the chrono- logical unfolding of Inuit history, and the character of particular domains of precon- tact life (material culture, economy, social life, belief systems) that are given both by the nature of the archaeological record and by analytical conventions that have taken shape in the discipline over the past century. This is largely the tack adopted here. It should be remembered, however, that this organization has inherently limited bearing on the universe as Inuit people lived and understood it— which was undoubtedly shot through with more belief and less system than archaeologists would normally be comfortable with. It seems equally possible (although more difficult, and riskier) to attempt to enter into this world in substantially different ways— from the perspective, for example, of Inuit cosmologies that understand the relationships between people and between peo- ple and nonhuman creatures in fashions that Western archaeology typically disallows (Wenzel 1991), or from the perspective of women or children or ritualists rather than that of adult male hunters and household heads. While the nonarchaeological and the perspectival are perhaps necessarily suspended here, they stand as silent witnesses and challenges to the accounts we provide of the lives of people in the past. Before proceeding further, a note on terminology is in order. “Thule” has been used to refer to a precontact culture in the North American Arctic since Therkel Mathiassen (1927) first employed the term, in recognition of the Fifth Thule Expedition that -pro vided the logistical umbrella for his pioneering research.
