In an age where southern power-holders look north and see only vacant polar landscapes, isolated communities, and exploitable resources, it is important to note that the Inuit homeland encompasses extensive philosophical, political, and literary traditions. Stories in a New Skin is a seminal text that explores these Arctic literary traditions and, in the process, reveals a pathway into Inuit literary criticism. Author Keavy Martin considers writing, storytelling, and performance from a range of genres and historical periods – the classic stories and songs of Inuit oral traditions, life writing, oral histories, and contemporary fiction, poetry and film – and discusses the ways in which these texts constitute an autonomous literary tradition. She draws “This book is a model for how to attention to the interconnection between language, form and context approach a culturally unfamiliar and illustrates the capacity of Inuit writers, singers and storytellers to NEW text and gives even a neophyte instruct diverse audiences in the appreciation of Inuit texts. a way to start reading otherwise Although Eurowestern academic contexts and literary terminology intimidating or obscure works.” are a relatively foreign presence in Inuit territory, Martin builds on the —Robin McGrath inherent adaptability and resilience of Inuit genres in order to foster greater southern awareness of a tradition whose audience has remained “One of the strengths of this book primarily northern. is its focus on the diversity, depth, and historic importance of Inuit Keavy Martin is an assistant professor in the Department of English and literature and the advantages Film Studies at the University of Alberta. of studying this body of work as Inuit literature, rather than simply Contents: including a few examples of Inuit Acknowledgements writing in the context of studying List of Maps ‘Aboriginal’ or for that matter Preface: Literate Landscapes ‘Canadian’ literature.” Introduction: Strangers in a Strange Land —Sophie McCall, Simon Fraser Ch 1. “It Was Said They Had One Song”: ‘Tuniit’ Stories and the Origins of University Inuit Nationhood Ch 2.

  • Transportation Infrastructure and Regional Development in Northern Manitoba
    Transportation Infrastructure and Regional Development in Northern Manitoba: Realities and Prospects by Stephen Pratte A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Department of Environment and Geography University of Manitoba Winnipeg © 2012 Copyright by Stephen Pratte Abstract The relationship between transportation and economic development is well documented. Two requirements indispensable to this relationship are access (ability to reach a place) and connectivity (relationship of the place to others). The interaction of people and markets via transportation infrastructure facilitates trade and increased social interaction; all vital for development. This thesis examines the nature of access and connectivity of the multi-modal transport network (i.e. road, rail, water and air modes) of Northern Manitoba, a study area characterized by many small communities distributed in a vast area, with some having no year-round overland access, forcing them to rely on the seasonally constructed winter road system. Models of the four modal networks (graph theory) are used to analyze the transportation ’s structure, accessibility and connectivity for specific points in time with a view to network understand network change. Recommendations are offered that would facilitate the integration of transportation planning. i Acknowledgements Several acknowledgements of gratitude are required of those who guided the production of this thesis. First, to my thesis and program advisor Dr. Daniel Todd, whose insight and perspectives on the spheres of transport and development, and the ongoing discussions thereof, have been invaluable, both from a research and professional perspective.

  • 2.0 Native Land Use - Historical Period
    2.0 NATIVE LAND USE - HISTORICAL PERIOD The first French explorers arrived in the Red River valley during the early 1730s. Their travels and encounters with the aboriginal populations were recorded in diaries and plotted on maps, and with that, recorded history began for the region known now as the Lake Winnipeg and Red River basins. Native Movements Pierre Gaultier de Varennes et de La Vérendrye records that there were three distinct groups present in this region during the 1730s and 1740s: the Cree, the Assiniboine, and the Sioux. The Cree were largely occupying the boreal forest areas of what is now northern and central Manitoba. The Assiniboine were living and hunting along the parkland transitional zone, particularly the ‘lower’ Red River and Assiniboine River valleys. The Sioux lived on the open plains in the region of the upper Red River valley, and west of the Red River in upper reaches of the Mississippi water system. Approximately 75 years later, when the first contingent of Selkirk Settlers arrived in 1812, the Assiniboine had completely vacated eastern Manitoba and moved off to the west and southwest, allowing the Ojibwa, or Saulteaux, to move in from the Lake of the Woods and Lake Superior regions. Farther to the south in the United States, the Ojibwa or Chippewa also had migrated westward, and had settled in the Red Lake region of what is now north central Minnesota. By this time some of the Sioux had given up the wooded eastern portions of their territory and dwelt exclusively on the open prairie west of the Red and south of the Pembina River.

  • Network Evolution: the Origins, Development And
    Network Evolution: The Origins, Development and Effectiveness of ’s Railway System Manitoba by Christopher G. L. McCombe A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Department of Environment and Geography University of Manitoba Winnipeg, Manitoba © 2011 by Christopher McCombe Copyright ABSTRACT This thesis examines the changing characteristics of railway infrastructure development and associated issues in the province of Manitoba, Canada. The period under consideration dates from when the first tracks were laid in 1878 through to the completion of the Hudson Bay Railway in 1929. Setting the scene is a template for railway development in general, one that allows hypotheses to be drawn that are specific to Manitoba. In order to test those hypotheses it is necessary to first provide a comprehensive overview of the historical evolution of the railway network. Next, the tools for testing the hypotheses as to how that network emerged have to be reviewed. That review examines aspects of graph theory, identifying the methodology most appropriate for a spatial analysis of railway networks. With the fundamental assumption in mind that no railway system of any real complexity can be effectively understood without considering the process of its creation, this analysis attempts to draw conclusions about the relationship between the railway companies and the governments, people and geography that they were compelled to deal with. Given that objective, an emphasis is placed during hypothesis testing on a set of geographic forms developed by prominent geographer Donald Meinig, who set the precedent in the field of railway-network geography.
