Sharing Atiku-Euiash in Sheshatshiu, Labrador Meating the Social: Sharing atiku-euiash in Sheshatshiu, Labrador By ©Damian Castro A dissertation submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in partial fu l- fillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Anthropology Memorial University of Newfoundland September 2015 St. John’s Newfoundland and Labrador Abstract This work examines atiku-euiash (caribou meat) sharing practices in Sheshatshiu, Newfoundland and Labrador, and aims to elucidate an overarching question: how do sharing practices participate in the co-constitution of the Innu ‘social’? The ‘social’ is understood in this work as a descriptor that refers to the emergent properties of the Innu collective. The thesis is that sharing practices participate in the co-constitution of the Innu social and enact its boundaries. Inside these boundaries, atiku-euiash is more than simply a food resource: by realizing Innu values of generosity, respect and autonomy, sharing implicates the associations of human, animal, and animal masters that constitute the Innu world. Sharing is connected with the enskilment of the younger generations by their el- ders, and thus with the reproduction of Innu values through time. The ways of sharing are relevant because changes in such practices affect the constitution of the Innu social. Giv- en Euro-Canadian colonization, the Innu are in a fraught social space in which sharing is interrupted by colonization practices and values. Understanding sharing is necessary to develop policies that do not interrupt the reproduction of the Innu world This work uses several research methods: participant observation, sharing surveys, and interviews. It also uses network analysis as sharing practices leave traces of giving and receiving actions and these traces can be represented as a network of givers, receivers and circulating caribou meat. There are two main ways in which caribou is hunted and shared: household-based hunts and community-based hunts. The household-based hunts are organized by the hunters themselves, who are able and willing to hunt. Community- based hunts are completely organized and funded by the SIFN or the Innu Nation. In or- der to understand the differences in the distribution of the two hunt types, the categories of centrality and clustering are used to show how the flow of atiku-eiuash and its associ- ated realization of values and enskilment correlate with different degrees of centralization inside the sharing clusters. ii Acknowledgements I strongly believe that the production knowledge is a collective endeavor. I was only able to complete this contribution because of the many people and organizations who supported me throughout my program. I owe my deepest gratitude to my supervisor, Mario Blaser. His deep understanding of the relevant theoretical issues and his extensive and insightful comments were crucial to the completion of this work. I also owe my grati- tude to the members of my supervisory committee, Adrian Tanner and Reade Davis. They provided invaluable comments, without which this work would not have been pos- sible. I am also profoundly indebted to my wife and fellow anthropologist, Carolina Ty- telman, for reading countless drafts and providing inestimable feedback. I am indebted to the scholars who read my drafts and provided indispensable comments and guidance: Andrea Procter, David Natcher, Larry Felt, August Carbonella, Chad Griffins and Alex Ambrosic. Working with the Innu people of Sheshatshiu is the highest honor I ever had and I will always be indebted to them. I am especially thankful to the Andrew brothers: Nikashant, Guy, Patnick and Greg and their families. They welcomed me in their place in nutshimit and gave me the opportunity to acquire priceless experience. I also want to express my gratitude to all the people of the Innu Nation office for the logistical support and count- less conversations that guided me through the Innu world: Paul and Etiene Pone, Antuan Penashue, Guy Playfair, Richard Nuna, Jimmy Nuna, Valery Courtois, Napaen Gregoire, Napes Ashini and Ben Andrew. I am thankful to Miki and Loui Rich who helped me with iii my surveys and interviews. I would also like to thanks Ponas and David Nuke, for taking me to their place in the bush. I will always be grateful to Antony Jenkinson for his incred- ible experience and amazing conversations about the state and direction of our shared world and to Sebastian Piwas and Damian Benuen who helped in my trips to Natuashish. This work would not have been possible without the resources provided by my fund- ing agencies, the Sustainable Forest Management Network, Social Science and Humani- ties Research Council, the Smallwood Foundation and the Labrador Institute. I would like to thank to my family and friends back in Argentina for their support, specially my parents, Veronica and Oscar, my brothers, Luciano and Ramiro, and the members of my academic “family”, Anthropocaos. Finally, this thesis would not have been possible without the support, love, patience and understanding of my wife Carolina and our children Jazmín y Lorenzo. iv Table of Contents Abstract ........................................................................................................ ii Acknowledgements ................................................................................... iii Table of Contents ......................................................................................... v Table of Figures ......................................................................................... vii Table of Maps ............................................................................................. ix Table of Tables ............................................................................................ x Table of Appendices ................................................................................... xi 1.

The circum- stances which precipitated this unusual voyage had occurred two years before when her husband, Leonidas Hubbard, attempting the same trip, died of starvation deep in the Labrador bush. Mina Benson Hubbard was inspired to attempt the com- pletion of her husband’s quest by her love for him, akin to adoration. She was also driven by fury, believing that her husband had been demeaned in the book about the disastrous 1903 expedition, The Lure of Labrador Wild, written by his surviving partner, Dillon Wallace.

  • 249 the Sheshatshiu Sociolinguistic Variability
    249 THE SHESHATSHIU SOCIOLINGUISTIC VARIABILITY PROJECT: A PRELIMINARY REPORT Marguerite MacKenzie and Sandra Clarke Memorial University of Newfoundland Introduction This paper constitutes a preliminary report on the investigation of linguistic variation among the speakers of a dialect of Montagnais spo­ ken at Sheshatshiu, Labrador. The project was undertaken in the fall of 1981 and fieldwork was carried out early in 1982. The purpose of the project is, first, to provide detailed documentation on the linguis­ tic variation known to exist among the speakers of Montagnais in this village and, second, to try to correlate any patterns of variation with non-linguistic factors. This study is of particular interest because the community of Sheshatshiu is highly different from the urban, socially stratified communities for which the investigative techniques common to modern sociolinguistic research have been developed. The people of Sheshatshiu are semi-nomadic hunters who have traditionally lived in small family groups. They are now resident for a good portion of the year in a single location, the community of Sheshatshiu, which is clearly non-industrial, has virtually no economic base, and exists by virtue of the fact that in former years it was a summer gathering place for families who had spent the entire winter hunting and trapping in the bush. At the moment, the largest employers in the community are the school and the band administration. The Montagnais dialect spoken today by residents of Sheshatshiu is noteworthy for its degree of intracommunity variability. Clearly, in such an apparently non-economically stratified society, the variable of informant socio-economic status could hardly be expected to aid in accounting for this perceived linguistic variability.

It was created for coordinated administration of common priorities including capacity development, devolution of programs, and managing the tripartite process with Canada and the province of Newfoundland & Labrador (NL). Prior to the 1960’s the Innu of Labrador were nomadic and practiced traditional midwifery. In recent focus groups in Sheshatshiu and Natuashish Innu elders remembered and described childbearing on Innu lands in the past. After settlement of Sheshatshiu and Davis Inlet, traditional midwives continued to provide care in the communities for a short time before childbirth was moved out of the community and to Happy Valley Goose Bay. Currently Innu women and families are not receiving midwifery care by Innu midwives. Care is fragmented and women are seeing different providers for different aspects of their care which makes it difficult to build trusting relationships. Some care is provided in the community but there are no children being born in Sheshatshiu and/or Natuashish. All Innu women are required to travel to the Labrador Grenfell Health hospital which is located in Happy Valley Goose Bay. Other than a couple Innu interpreters Labrador Grenfell Health has no professional Innu health staff, making the hospital a foreign and uninviting environment to all Innu people.

  • Maps, Photographs, and Geographical Naming in Mina Hubbard’S a Woman’S Way Through Unknown Labrador
    Visualizing Labrador: Maps, Photographs, and Geographical Naming in Mina Hubbard’s A Woman’s Way through Unknown Labrador WENDY ROY N 1908, MINA HUBBARD published a book about a two-month canoe journey she had made three years earlier through northern I Labrador. Although well received by geographical authorities and general readers, A Woman’s Way through Unknown Labrador: An Account of the Exploration of the Nascaupee and George Rivers was overshadowed by more conventional books of adventurous travel, especially the narra- tive describing her husband’s death on a previous expedition.1 Contem- poraneous reviews of her book often characterized Mina Hubbard as a “charming and plucky little woman” whose journey honoured her hus- band’s memory (Millais 402-03; see also “Love’s Labour”), and beginning in the 1960s, that characterization was taken up and elaborated upon in several popular histories (Cooke, 1960; Berton, 1978; Davidson and Rugge, 1988). Only recently have Hubbard’s book, her journal articles, and the travel diary on which they were based begun to be recognized as valuable literary, as well as historical, artifacts. That revaluation includes several critical studies (Grace 2000, 2001; LaFramboise 2001), the repub- lication of A Woman’s Way, and, for the first time, the publication of Hubbard’s travel diary, accompanied by a detailed biography.2 As these books and articles demonstrate, Hubbard’s journey and resulting narratives provide a radical revision of what travel theorist Karen Lawrence calls the “Western cultural truism that Penelope waits while Odysseus voyages” (ix). Hubbard’s story is that of an early twentieth-century Penelope whose Odysseus did not return from his voyage, and whose death set the stage for her decision to voyage in his stead, to tell her own tale, and to map and thus make a claim to the physical space of the Ungava Peninsula.

  • Brian Rusted
    Brian Rusted PERFORMING THE VISUAL NORTH Image, place and the Hubbard-Wallace expeditions During the last decade, the phrase ‘visual culture’ has come to identify a variety of interdisciplinary approaches to the visual in everyday life. While analytic perspectives may come from gender, race or media theory, political economy, psychoanalysis, and so forth, there is an apparent agreement about the critical relation the visual has to subjectivity and social organization. The travelling of critical and cultural theory across disciplinary boundaries has given ‘visual culture’ an institutional form through new degrees, programmes, cross-faculty appointments, courses, introductory textbooks, and research publications. This paper comments on the intellectual history of ‘visual culture’, identifies cultural aspects of visual performance that have been understated in recent formulations of visual culture and visual studies, and argues that the current institutional form of visual culture research has contributed to the disappearance of cultural and anthropological approaches within visual culture. The paper is developed in relation to a case study involving popular photography as a cultural performance of the Canadian north, and considers the contribution of performance to visual culture. Keywords visual culture; performance; spatialization; Canada; north; photography Introduction: how to picture the north My pictures came today and they are wonderful. Feel excited about them they are so fine I have never seen such pictures anywhere as some of them are ... (Mina Hubbard Collection 241 3.02.001, Diary 25 December 1905) In the penultimate entry of her diary for 1905, Mina Hubbard, explorer and recently widowed wife of the New York, outdoor writer Leonidas Hubbard, Jr noted her excitement at receiving photographs from her trip through the Cultural Studies Vol.

  • Migration: a Way of Life for the Innu Newfoundland - Secondary
    MIGRATION: A WAY OF LIFE FOR THE INNU NEWFOUNDLAND - SECONDARY Migration: A Way of life for the Innu of Labrador for Thousands of Years Lesson Overview: This lesson is to introduce students to the idea of migration by integrating the link between migration and Canada’s Aboriginal peoples. In this case, students will be studying the Innu People of Quebec and Labrador. The Innu have been living in Quebec and Labrador for thousands of years and have migrated over their land for all of that time. Today, migrations still occur but it is not like it was in the “old” days. Most of the Innu today live seasonally in the country and reside in communities in Quebec and in two communities: Sheshatshiu (Shet a Shee) and Natuashish (Nat wa Shish) in Labrador for the remainder of the year. Grade Level: Grades 9-12 Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island Grade 9 Social Studies, “Atlantic Canada in the Global Community” Newfoundland and Labrador, Grade 10-12: Canadian Geography, and World Geography. Time Required: This lesson can be completed in two one-hour periods. One class should be used for outlining the subject matter: giving the definitions, exploring the geographic area through maps, and discussion. In the second class, students should move to a computer lab and look at the website that supports the Innu culture and deals with family migrations. The link students should go to for this lesson is: http://www.innustories.ca/1300_e.php The website is called “tipatshimuna” which in Innu-Aimum (the language spoke by most Innu today) means stories.

I also thank Keith Storey for his valuable comments and editorial contributions. The Population Project: Newfoundland and Labrador in Transition In 2015, Newfoundland and Labrador had the most rapidly aging population in the country – which when combined with high rates of youth out-migration, declining birth rates, and an increasing number of people moving from rural parts of the province to more urban centres, means that the province is facing an unprecedented population challenge. Without intervention, this trend will have a drastic impact on the economy, governance, and the overall quality of life for the people of the province. Planning for this change and developing strategies to adjust and adapt to it is paramount. The Harris Centre’s Population Project has developed potential demographic scenarios
