At the time of her death, Darlene Owens was 23 years old and living at Pauingassi First Nation. On the night of October 19, 2005 Ms Owens, having consumed alcohol, went to a residence where her father was staying and caused a disturbance by banging on the door. After she refused to leave, her father, fearing she would break the window in the door, called the Band Constable on duty that night and requested that Ms Owens be detained in cells until she was sober. Band Constables attended and took Ms Owens into custody. She was taken to a trailer being used by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the Band Constables as a detention facility. While she was in custody, Ms Owens ripped a piece of her t-shirt which she used to hang herself from the door knob of the cell. She was discovered by Band Constables who made efforts to resuscitate her unsuccessfully.

  • Temagami Area Rock Art and Indigenous Routes
    Zawadzka Temagami Area Rock Art 159 Beyond the Sacred: Temagami Area Rock Art and Indigenous Routes Dagmara Zawadzka The rock art of the Temagami area in northeastern Ontario represents one of the largest concentrations of this form of visual expression on the Canadian Shield.

An analysis of the distribution of 40 pictograph sites in relation to traditional routes known as nastawgan has revealed that an overwhelming majority are located on these routes, as well as near narrows, portages, or route intersections. Their location seems to point to their role in the navigation of the landscape. It is argued that rock art acted as a wayfinding landmark; as a marker of places linked to travel rituals; and, ultimately, as a sign of human occupation in the landscape. The tangible and intangible resources within which rock art is steeped demonstrate the relationships that exist among people, places, and the cultural landscape, and they point to the importance of this form of visual expression.
