Examining Climate Change Impacts on Inuit Mental Health in Nunatsiavut, Labrador “It’s so hard to put tangible figures to it:” Examining Climate Change Impacts on Inuit Mental Health in Nunatsiavut, Labrador by Jacqueline Middleton A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Population Medicine Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Jacqueline Middleton, August, 2020 ABSTRACT “IT’S SO HARD TO PUT TANGIBLE FIGURES TO IT:” EXAMINING CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTS ON INUIT MENTAL HEALTH IN NUNATSIAVUT, LABRADOR Jacqueline Middleton Advisors: University of Guelph, 2020 Dr. Sherilee L. Harper Dr. Ashlee Cunsolo Dr. Andria Bitton-Jones Transformational climate change across the Circumpolar North is disrupting Indigenous Peoples’ access to land, sea, and ice, leading to emotional distress, interpersonal stress, anxiety, depression, substance use, and increased use of mental health services. While there are strong theoretical understandings of the mechanisms that link climate and mental health, there is relatively little known about how the mental health of the most climate-sensitive populations is being impacted. Therefore, this research used a community-driven population health approach to examine how weather and seasonality impacts Inuit mental health in Nunatsiavut, Labrador, Canada in the context of climate change. First, a scoping review explored global Indigenous climate-mental health relationships. This review characterized the ways in which the emotional and psychological impacts of climate are connected to changing place attachment, disrupted cultural continuity, forced human mobility, and intangible loss and damages. Then, to characterize the lived experiences of climate impacts on Inuit mental health, in-depth interviews from across Nunatsiavut (n=116 interviews) were analysed. Results indicated that weather impacted mental wellness through: shaping daily lived experiences including connection to place; altering mood and emotion on a transient basis; and seasonally influencing individual and community wellbeing. To examine these climate-mental health interconnections in Nunatsiavut, a regional time series analysis examined quantitative associations between temperature and mental health clinic visits. Mental health clinic visits significantly increased following warmer temperatures and decreased following temperature ranges that allow land use and access. These results demonstrated the important role that temperature plays in Inuit mental health; however, these impacts on mental health will not be uniformly distributed across communities. To understand the distribution of weather-mental health associations among communities, time series regression examined how place modified the effect of temperature on mental health clinic visits. No two communities had the same weather-mental health associations, demonstrating the extent to which place matters in the context of Inuit mental health and climate change. This work provides new insights into climate change impacts on mental health and has important research, policy, and planning implications for regions such as Nunatsiavut, which are already experiencing the fastest rates of warming on the planet. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My graduate studies have been the most challenging and rewarding experience of my life. Although my name is on this thesis, the following people have helped me immensely. First and foremost, I would like to thank the individuals, communities, and governments of Nunatsiavut that have gifted me with their time, stories, and experiences.

Epps and Salanova: The Languages of Amazonia ARTICLE The Languages of Amazonia Patience Epps University of Texas at Austin Andrés Pablo Salanova University of Ottawa Introduction Amazonia is a linguistic treasure-trove. In this region, defined roughly as the area of the Amazon and Orinoco basins, the diversity of languages is immense, with some 300 indigenous languages corresponding to over 50 distinct ‘genealogical’ units (see Rodrigues 2000) – language families or language isolates for which no relationship to any other has yet been conclusively demonstrated; as distinct, for example, as Japanese and Spanish, or German and Basque (see section 12 below). Yet our knowledge of these languages has long been minimal, so much so that the region was described only a decade ago as a “linguistic black box" (Grinevald 1998:127).

  • Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics &A
    Online Appendix for Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue (2014) Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics & Change Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue The following document lists the languages of the world and their as- signment to the macro-areas described in the main body of the paper as well as the WALS macro-area for languages featured in the WALS 2005 edi- tion. 7160 languages are included, which represent all languages for which we had coordinates available1. Every language is given with its ISO-639-3 code (if it has one) for proper identification. The mapping between WALS languages and ISO-codes was done by using the mapping downloadable from the 2011 online WALS edition2 (because a number of errors in the mapping were corrected for the 2011 edition). 38 WALS languages are not given an ISO-code in the 2011 mapping, 36 of these have been assigned their appropri- ate iso-code based on the sources the WALS lists for the respective language. This was not possible for Tasmanian (WALS-code: tsm) because the WALS mixes data from very different Tasmanian languages and for Kualan (WALS- code: kua) because no source is given. 17 WALS-languages were assigned ISO-codes which have subsequently been retired { these have been assigned their appropriate updated ISO-code. In many cases, a WALS-language is mapped to several ISO-codes. As this has no bearing for the assignment to macro-areas, multiple mappings have been retained. 1There are another couple of hundred languages which are attested but for which our database currently lacks coordinates.

  • Gm and Km Allotypes in Wayampi, Wayana and Emerillon Indians from French Guiana
    L ANNALS OF HUMAN BIOLOGY, 1994, VOL.'.21, NO. 4, 335-345 Gm and Km allotypes in Wayampi, Wayana and Emerillon Indians from French Guiana J. M. DUGOUJONP,E. GUITARDP,M. T. SENEGAS?,P. GRENANDSand E. BOIS* TCentre de Recherches sur le Polymorphisme Génétique des populations humaines, Toulouse, France $Département Société, Urbanisme, Développement, Paris, France *Unité de Recherches d'Epidémiologie Génétique, Paris, France Received 16 April 1993; revised II November 1993 Summary. We have studied 506 Amerindians from three French Guiana groups: 194 Wayampi, living in Trois-Sauts, and 100 in the Camopi area; 47 Emerillon also living in the Camopi area and 165 Wayana on the Litani and Maroni rivers. All samples were tested for Glm(1,2,3,17), G3m(5,6,10,11,13,14,15,16,21,24,28) and Km(1) by the classical method of hemaglutination inhibition. The phenotype and haplotype distributions are presented and have been subjected to factorial correspondence analysis. Two Gm haplotypes are common: Gm1*37;21,28,and Gm1,2,17;21,28,but with an important variation in frequency. A rare haplotype, probably the result of a genetic anomaly: Gm1,17;21R>28,is frequent in the Emerillon (17%). These populations show no evidence of Black or Caucasian admixtures. 1. Introduction The allotypic markers of human immunoglobulins (Ig) are inherited differences located on the heavy chains of IgG (Gm), IgA (Am), IgE (Em) and light chain Kappa (Km). Each epitope is restricted to one of the IgG (IgGl, IgG2 and IgG3) or IgA (IgA2) subclasses and found on the constant regions (CHI, CH2, or CH3 domains).

    IPP264 Paraguay Community Development Project Indigenous Peoples Development Framework Introduction Public Disclosure Authorized 1. Indigenous Peoples (IP) in Paraguay represent only 1.7% of the total population (about 87,100) people, according to the most recent Indigenous Peoples Census (2002). Notwithstanding, IP, show a higher population growth rate (3.9%) than the average for the national population (2.7%). Therefore, it is possible to expect that the proportion of IP will continue to grow for some time, even though they will continue to be a small proportion of the total population. 2. There are 19 different ethnic groups1 belonging to five linguistic families2, being the most numerous those belonging to the Guarari linguistic family3 (46,000 or 53%), followed by the Maskoy linguistic family groups4 (21,000 or 24%). The four largest IP groups are the Ava-Guarani (13,400 or 15.5%), Mbyá (14,300 or 16.7%), Pâí Tavyterâ (13,100 or 15.2%), and the Nivacle (12,000 or 13.9%).

  • A Protocol for a Systematic Literature Review: Comparing the Impact Of
    Bishop-Williams et al. Systematic Reviews (2017) 6:19 DOI 10.1186/s13643-016-0399-x PROTOCOL Open Access A protocol for a systematic literature review: comparing the impact of seasonal and meteorological parameters on acute respiratory infections in Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples Katherine E. Bishop-Williams1*, Jan M. Sargeant1,2, Lea Berrang-Ford3, Victoria L. Edge1, Ashlee Cunsolo4 and Sherilee L. Harper1 Abstract Background: Acute respiratory infections (ARI) are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally, and are often linked to seasonal and/or meteorological conditions. Globally, Indigenous peoples may experience a different burden of ARI compared to non-Indigenous peoples. This protocol outlines our process for conducting a systematic review to investigate whether associations between ARI and seasonal or meteorological parameters differ between Indigenous and non-Indigenous groups residing in the same geographical region. Methodology: AsearchstringwillbeusedtosearchPubMed®, CAB Abstracts/CAB Direct©, and Science Citation Index® aggregator databases. Articles will be screened using inclusion/exclusion criteria applied first at the title and abstract level, and then at the full article level by two independent reviewers. Articles maintained after full article screening will undergo risk of bias assessment and data will be extracted. Heterogeneity tests, meta-analysis, and forest and funnel plots will be used to synthesize the results of eligible studies. Discussion and registration: This protocol paper describes our systematic review methods to identify and analyze relevant ARI, season, and meteorological literature with robust reporting. The results are intended to improve our understanding of potential associations between seasonal and meteorological parameters and ARI and, if identified, whether this association varies by place, population, or other characteristics.
