The Case of Torngat Mountains Base Camp and Research Station in Nunatsiavut The Atlantic Aboriginal Economic Development Integrated Research Program, AAEDIRP Improving public-private collaboration to sustain a remote Indigenous tourism venture: The case of Torngat Mountains Base Camp and Research Station in Nunatsiavut March 2017 Adam Fiser, Christopher Duschenes, Julia Markovich, and Robert Sheldon THE ATLANTIC ABORIGINAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INTEGRATED RESEARCH PROGRAM (AAEDIRP) THE ATLANTIC POLICY CONGRESS OF FIRST NATIONS CHIEFS The AAEDIRP is a unique partnership between the member communities of the Atlantic Policy Congress of First Nation Chiefs Secretariat (APCFNC), the Inuit of Labrador, fifteen Atlantic Canadian universities, and federal and provincial government funders. The AAEDIRP funders include Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC), the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA), and the Office of Aboriginal Affairs for the Province of Nova Scotia. The main purpose of the AAEDIRP is to improve the knowledge base concerning Atlantic Aboriginal economic development in order to improve the lives of Aboriginal peoples in the region. To achieve this mandate, the AAEDIRP conducts research that is relevant to Atlantic Aboriginal communities and organizations by linking community needs with Atlantic university resources and by using community-based participatory research methods. The research projects approach community economic development from a broad, holistic perspective based on Aboriginal culture, languages and direction from Elders. The AAEDIRP’s university partners include: Acadia University; Cape Breton University; Dalhousie University; Memorial University; Mount Allison University; Mount Saint Vincent University; Saint Mary’s University; St. Francis Xavier University; St. Thomas University; Université de Moncton; University of New Brunswick; University of PEI; University of King’s College; Atlantic School of Theology; Nova Scotia College of Art & Design. The AAEDIRP is administered by the APCFNC. The APCFNC is a non-profit organization that was formed in 1992, and incorporated in 1995. The APCFNC speaks with one voice on behalf of First Nations communities in Atlantic Canada. The mandate of the APCFNC is to research, analyze and develop alternatives to federal policies affecting Mi'kmaq, Maliseet, Innu and Passamaquoddy First Nations in the Atlantic region. Through research and analysis, the APCFNC also develops and tables policy alternatives on socio-economic issues affecting First Nations communities in Atlantic Canada, Quebec, and Maine, USA.

  • Torngat Mountains National Park
    TORNGAT MOUNTAINS NATIONAL PARK Presentation to Special Senate Committee on the Arctic November 19, 20018 1 PURPOSE Overview of the Torngat Mountains National Park Key elements include: • Indigenous partners and key commitments; • Cooperative Management structure; • Base Camp and Research Station overview & accomplishments; and • Next steps. 2 GEOGRAPHICAL CONTEXT 3 INDIGENOUS PARTNERS • Inuit from Northern Labrador represented by Nunatsiavut Government • Inuit from Nunavik (northern Quebec) represented by Makivik Corporation 4 Cooperative Management What is it? Cooperative management is a model that involves Indigenous peoples in the planning and management of national parks without limiting the authority of the Minister under the Canada National Parks Act. What is the objective? To respect the rights and knowledge systems of Indigenous peoples by incorporating Indigenous history and cultures into management practices. How is it done? The creation of an incorporated Cooperative Management Board establishes a structure and process for Parks Canada and Indigenous peoples to regularly and meaningfully engage with each other as partners. 5 TORNGAT MOUNTAINS NATIONAL PARK CO-OPERATIVE MANAGEMENT BOARD 6 BASECAMP 7 EVOLUTION OF BASE CAMP 8 VALUE OF A BASE CAMP 9 10 ACCOMPLISHMENTS An emerging destination Tourism was a foreign concept before the park. It is now a destination in its own right. Cruise ships and sailing vessels are also finding their way here. Reconciliation in action Parks Canada has been working with Inuit to develop visitor experiences that will connect people to the park as an Inuit homeland. All of these experiences involve the participation of Inuit and help tell the story to the rest of the world in a culturally appropriate way.

    The Glaciers of the Torngat Mountains of Northern Labrador By © Robert Way A Thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Department of Geography Memorial University of Newfoundland September 2013 St. John 's Newfoundland and Labrador Abstract The glaciers of the Tomgat Mountains of northem Labrador are the southemmost m the eastern Canadian Arctic and the most eastem glaciers in continental North America. This thesis presents the first complete inventory of the glaciers of the Tomgat Mountains and also the first comprehensive change assessment for Tomgat glaciers over any time period. In total, 195 ice masses are mapped with 105 of these showing clear signs of active glacier flow. Analysis of glaciers and ice masses reveal strong influences of local topographic setting on their preservation at low elevations; often well below the regional glaciation level. Coastal proximity and latitude are found to exert the strongest control on the distribution of glaciers in the Tomgat Mountains. Historical glacier changes are investigated using paleomargins demarking fanner ice positions during the Little Ice Age. Glacier area for 165 Torngat glaciers at the Little Ice Age is mapped using prominent moraines identified in the forelands of most glaciers. Overall glacier change of 53% since the Little Ice Age is dete1mined by comparing fanner ice margins to 2005 ice margins across the entire Torngat Mountains. Field verification and dating of Little Ice Age ice positions uses lichenometry with Rhizocarpon section lichens as the target subgenus. The relative timing of Little Ice Age maximum extent is calculated using lichens measured on moraine surfaces in combination with a locally established lichen growth curve from direct measurements of lichen growth over a - 30 year period.
