Alaska Boundary Survey, Bill Rupe, and the Scottie
KING GEORGE GOT DIARRHEA : THE YUKON -ALASKA BOUNDARY SURVEY , BILL RUPE , AND THE SCOTTIE CREEK DINEH Norman Alexander Easton Yukon College, Box 2799, 500 College Drive, Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, Canada Y1A 5K4; [email protected] ABSTRACT The imposition of the international boundary along the 141st meridian of longitude between Yukon and Alaska has separated the aboriginal Dineh of the region into two separate nation-states. This division holds serious implications for the continuity of identity and social relations between Native people across this border. This paper examines the history of the establishment of this border along its southern margin through the Scottie Creek valley, comparing the written record of the state surveyors with the oral history of the Scottie Creek Dineh. I argue that the evidence supports the notion that the Dineh of Scottie Creek, like elsewhere in the Yukon and Alaska, were both aware of and resistant to the implications of the boundary and refused to cede their rights to continued use and occupancy of both sides of the border. Concurrent with this history is that of William Rupe, the unacknowledged first trader in the Upper Tanana River basin, and his role in mediating the negotiations between gov- ernment surveyors and Dineh leaders. Despite the difficulties imposed by the border, Natives of the region continue to formulate a strong identity as Dineh, holding and practicing distinctive values and social relations that collectively are known as the Dineh Way. Keywords: Upper Tanana, aboriginal-state relations, 141st meridian, Yukon-Alaska history PRELUDE It is July 1997. I am atop Mount Dave, Yukon, just east guage. -

(CEF) Badges and Medals Related to the Yukon During the First World War
h ps://doi.org/10.22584/nr44.2017.009 CollecƟ ng Canadian ExpediƟ onary Force (CEF) Badges and Medals Related to the Yukon During the First World War Timothy J. Popp Independent Historian Abstract: I have been collec ng Canadian militaria since the early 1970s. I now believe I have collected every known military badge associated with Yukon Territory military units. These include the Yukon Field Force (1898); the Dawson Rifl es of Canada (1900); Boyle’s Yukon Machine Gun Detachment (1914)—whose regimental badge was created by Jacoby Brothers in Vancouver; the Yukon Motor Machine Gun Ba ery (1915)—whose badges were created in England by Gaunt and Sons of London; the Yukon Infantry Company (1916)—whose unique badges were created by Jacoby and included a miniature miner’s gold pan complete with a gold nugget at the base of the pan; the Pacifi c Coast Mili a Rangers (1942); and the Yukon Regiment (1962). In my collec on I also have examples of all medals that were awarded to Yukon residents. This ar cle presents an overview of the badges worn on the uniforms of the military units that were raised in the Yukon for service with the Canadian Expedi onary Force. These badges are considered very rare to military CEF collectors, and seldom off ered through an auc on. The second part of the ar cle covers the medals awarded to Yukon men who served in these units and, in par cular, the many awards bestowed on Lt. Col. Joe Boyle. Military memorabilia is very important in the remembrance of the soldiers who represented the Yukon during the First World War. -

The Role of Institutions in the Changing Arctic
THE POLAR BEAR IN THE ROOM: THE ROLE OF INSTITUTIONS IN THE CHANGING ARCTIC A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE INTERSCHOOL HONORS PROGRAM IN INTERNATIONAL SECURITY STUDIES CENTER FOR INTERNATIONAL SECURITY AND COOOPERATION FREEMAN SPOGLI INSTITUTE FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDIES STANFORD UNIVERSITY BY ELLE STUART MAY 2014 ADVISORS: PROFESSOR KENNETH SCHULTZ AND COMMANDER DAVID SLAYTON Abstract This thesis focuses on the role of international institutions in the Arctic. Specifically, it examines the two main governance structures in the Arctic—the Arctic Council and the United Nations Law of the Seas Treaty (UNCLOS)—in light of the changing Arctic environment. It evaluates to what extent these two governance structures have been effective at keeping the peace in the Arctic, and whether this cooperation is likely to continue in the future. While the Arctic—and its institutions—are frequently cited as a model for geopolitical cooperation, this thesis finds that predictions that this cooperation will continue are overly optimistic. This conclusion is based on two overall findings. The first is that the Arctic Council, the preeminent forum for cooperation in the Arctic, is unlikely to adapt to upcoming issues, as it is limited by its primarily environmental mandate. The second argument concerns the role of UNCLOS, and finds that, despite its effectiveness in bringing states to the negotiation table for some territorial disputes, it has generally been unable to mandate long-term solutions. By showing the limitations of the Arctic Council and UNCLOS in regards to their ability to provide cooperative governance, this thesis questions the existing literature about the Arctic and raises the question of what other structures—perhaps economic or security related—are needed to ensure that the Arctic remains a peaceful sphere of cooperation in the future. -
