Mit 5 Figuren Summary: On the Development 0/ the Settlement Pattern and the Economy 0/ the Ea8tern Ganadian Gentral Arctic. Two periods of development are dealt with: 1. 1920-1950:The whalers not havingreachedthe area, the Netsilik Eskimos did not come into elose contact with Euro-Canadians until after 1920 when the fur traders invaded the country. The introduction of the rifle and the gradual acceptance of fur trapping deeply affected the traditional economy, until it finally collapsed when the fox prices broke down after World War H. - 2. 1950-1970: This period is characterized bythe abandonment of the isolated winter settlements in favour of living in the larger communities of Gjoa Raven, Spence Bay and Pelly Bay providing a wide range of services and facilities. At the same time, opportunities for wage employment were offered on a wider scale. The formation of co-operatives on the one hand and settlement councils on the other hand enabled the local people to take a more active part in their economic and political development. - In a final chapter, the present (1971) structure of the settlement pattern and the economy are described; and data are provided on the total local cash income for each of the settlements. 1.

    The Ninth North American Caribou Workshop, S7 Kuujjuaq, Québec, Canada, 23-27 April, 2001. Status, population fluctuations and ecological relationships of Peary caribou on the Queen Elizabeth Islands: Implications for their survival Frank L. Miller1 & Anne Gunn2 1 Canadian Wildlife Service, Prairie & Northern Region, Room 200, 4999 - 98th. Avenue, Edmonton, Alberta T6B 2X3 Canada ([email protected]). 2 Department of Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development, Government of the Northwest Territories, Box 1320, Yellowknife, Northwest Territories X1A 3S8 Canada. Abstract: The Peary caribou (Rangifer tarandus pearyi) was recognized as 'Threatened' by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada in 1979 and 'Endangered' in 1991. It is the only member of the deer family (Cervidae) found on the Queen Elizabeth Islands (QEI) of the Canadian High Arctic. The Peary caribou is a significant part of the region's biodiversity and a socially important and economically valuable part of Arctic Canada's natural heritage. Recent microsatellite DNA findings indicate that Peary caribou on the QEI are distinct from caribou on the other Arctic Islands beyond the QEI, including Banks Island. This fact must be kept in mind if any translocation of caribou to the QEI is pro• posed. The subspecies is too gross a level at which to recognize the considerable diversity that exists between Peary cari¬ bou on the QEI and divergent caribou on other Canadian Arctic Islands. The Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada should take this considerable diversity among these caribou at below the subspecies classification to mind when assigning conservation divisions (units) to caribou on the Canadian Arctic Islands.

  • Geophysical and Geological Integration and Interpretation of the Northeast Thelon Basin, Nunavut
    GEOPHYSICAL INTERPRETATION OF THE NORTHEAST THELON BASIN GEOPHYSICAL AND GEOLOGICAL INTEGRATION AND INTERPRETATION OF THE NORTHEAST THELON BASIN, NUNAVUT By VICTORIA LYNN TSCHIRHART, B.Sc. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctorate of Philosophy McMaster University © Copyright for Victoria Tschirhart, November 2013 i McMaster University DOCTORATE OF PHILOSPHY (2013) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: Geophysical and geological integration and interpretation of the northeast Thelon Basin, Nunavut AUTHOR: Victoria Lynn Tschirhart, B.Sc. (McMaster University) SUPERVISOR: Dr. William A. Morris NUMBER OF PAGES: xii, 196 ii Abstract The northeast Thelon Basin, Nunavut, is a rapidly developing albeit poorly studied, frontier exploration domain for unconformity-associated uranium deposits. Critical criteria for unconformity –associated uranium deposit models are knowledge of the basement geology, fault history and depth to unconformity surface. This thesis sets forth to derive working geological and geophysical models for the northeast Thelon Basin through the implementation of integrated geophysical techniques. A physical rock property database is compiled defining average density and susceptibility values for key map units for integration into subsequent modelling iterations. Forward and inverse potential field modelling using these petrophysical with geological controls define the structure and geometry of the Shultz Lake intrusive complex and northeast Amer Belt, both of which are present below the Thelon sedimentary cover. Implementation of a new source edge detection technique estimates fault development and location within the basin. This provides a quantitative analysis of fault timing, identifying potentially reactivated faults which have an increased likelihood to serve as conduits to transport uranium-rich fluids and focus deposition.

  • Mycology in the Canadian Arctic
    MYCOLOGY INTHE CANADIAN ARCTIC* D. B. 0. Savile Introduction and history TUDENTS of arctic fungi have traditionally relied largely on the practice S of gleaning inconspicuous saprophytes from the old stems and leaves of vascular plant specimens brought back by botanists or others. Except for a few conspicuous fleshy fungi, which were often unidentifiable because of inappropriate handling, most of these specimens have been collected unin- tentionally. This was the way in which Canadian arctic mycology started. First Rostrup (1906) scrutinized Simmons’s collections from Ellesmere Island made during the second voyage of the Fram. Later Lind (1910) published an account of fungi gleaned from the plantsof the GjZa expedition, collected at King Point on the Yukon coast and King William Island; and Dearness (1923) similarly treated the fungi taken on the Canadian Arctic Expedition at various points along the arctic coast. Lind (1934) added a numberof further Canadian records, arctic and sub- arctic, in his discussion of circumpolar microfungi. Linder (1947) made the next substantial contribution to our knowledgeof Canadian arctic fungi, but his treatment, although part of Polunin’s “Flora of the Canadian Eastern Arctic’’ was actually limited to those fungi collected by Polunin and did not bring together the available records. A conspicuous feature of almost all the early records from the Canadian Arctic is the extreme paucityof parasitic fungi. Dearness was impressed by the lack of such fungi and wrote “the smuts, like the rusts, seem to be rare in the Canadian arctic regions”. He recorded only one smut and three rusts from the collectioqsof the Canadian Arctic Expedition.

It includes considerations on how the carved objects affected and played a role in Dorset social life. To consider the role of people, things and other beings that may be said to play as actors in interdependent entanglements of actions, the agency/actor- network theory is employed. From this theoretical review an interpretation of social life as created by the ways people interact with the material world is presented. This framework is employed as a lens into the social role and meaning the carvings played in the Dorset society. The examined assemblages were recovered from a series of Dorset settlement sites, mainly in house, midden, and burial contexts, providing a substantive case study through which variations and themes of carvings are studied.

  • 1.7 the 2002 Tlicho-Akaitcho Boundary Creek Agreement
    Preamble: The Government of the Northwest Territories is seeking to impose extra-ordinary restrictions on the rights of the Yellowknives Dene First Nation. The Yellowknives Dene First Nation (YKDFN) – Dettah and Ndilo – are member First Nations of the Akaitcho Territory Dene First Nations, descendants of those who made Treaty on July 25, 1900 at Deninu Kue. Members of YKDFNs currently have existing aboriginal and treaty rights. These rights include, among others, the right to hunt, fish, trap and gather in Chief Drygeese Territory. The aboriginal and treaty rights of the YKDFN have been exercised by YKDFN for generations, and continue to be exercised to date. The evidence of Elders and First Nation members together generally confirm that in Chief Drygeese Territory: • The lands are used for hunting, fishing and trapping on a regular basis today, • The lands are also used for the gathering of berries for food and plants for medicinal purposes, • They have been so used for generations, • The trapping provides furs to sell and meat to subsist on, • The meat obtained from the hunting and trapping feeds many community members and not just the trapper or hunter, • Many different types of animals are hunted and trapped, and • The lands have spiritual and cultural significance to the YKDFN. In short, the treaty rights to hunt, fish, trap and gather provided in the Treaty, in addition to other rights, do not exist only on paper, but are in active use, and an integral part of the tradition and existence of the Yellowknives Dene. The courts have been clear on the mechanisms that need to be followed if rights are to be infringed: 1) There must be a ‘compelling and substantial’ justification for the action 2) The Crown must engage in significant and meaningful consultation 3) All other privileges and harvesting options must be attempted prior to any infringement of rights, and if infringement does occur, it must be shown to be as little as necessary.
