  • Exploring Whapmagoostui Cree Place Names
    The Land as an Aspect of Cree History: Exploring Whapmagoostui Cree Place Names DAVID DENTON Cree Regional Authority, Nemaska, Quebec The Whapmagoostui Crees form a small-scale society that has used the same land for many generations. In this paper1 I will examine the results of a project carried out in the 1990s to compile information concerning historical and cultural knowledge relating to places within the Whapma­ goostui Cree traditional territories. The project involved both a detailed place-names survey and the collection of additional information in the form of stories, myths and land-use data concerning particular named places. Toponymy was seen as a useful starting point for understanding Cree perceptions of the environment and of key points within that envi­ ronment, and for obtaining a broad coverage of places of potential cul­ tural and historic interest, based on the assumption that most such places would be named (cf. Hanks & Winters 1986:274). The place-names survey was carried out with 1:50,000 scale maps using a modified version of the "Nuna-Top method," developed by Ludger and Linna Muller-Wille in arctic Quebec and Nunavut (CPCGN 1992). The team consisted of an interviewer, a recorder and a filing clerk, all Crees from Whapmagoostui with considerable knowledge of local geography and traditions. Interviews were carried out with individuals recognized in the community as likely to be most knowledgeable for dif- 1. Editors' note: This paper was presented at the 37e Congres des Algonquinistes held at the Mus6e Canadien des Civilisations in Gatineau, Quebec in October of 2005 but unac­ countably lost between computers during the editorial process.

  • Sheila Watt-Cloutier
    My Name is Sheila Watt-Cloutier. I was born in Kuujjuaq in Arctic Canada where I lived traditionally, travelling only by dogteam, for the first ten years of my life. I now live in Iqaluit, the Capital of the Northern Canadian Territory of Nunavut. I am here today to talk to you about how global warming and climate change are affecting the basic survival in many vulnerable regions and, in particular, of indigenous cultures throughout the Americas. Of course, what I know best is from my own region -- the Arctic, which happens to be the hardest hit by climate change. As such, many of the impacts that I will refer to will come from my own homelands. However, you can consider similar impacts on most indigenous peoples who remain integrated with their ecosystems. Inuit and other indigenous peoples continue to be an integral part, and not separate, from the ecosystems in which we live. Climate change brings into question the basic survival of indigenous people and indigenous cultures throughout the Americas. To borrow and quote the words of the Hon. Julian Hunte, Ambassador and permanent representative of Saint Lucia to the United Nations: "[…]the adverse impacts of climate change are real, immediate and devastating." While time is short, I will give some insight into the impacts of global warming and climate change on indigenous peoples within the Hemisphere. Extreme weather events In our region, Elders say that the weather is Uggianaqtuq -- meaning it behaves unexpectedly, or in an unfamiliar way. Last month, we had record breaking winds in Iqaluit that tore roofs off buildings and homes.
