    TD 187-19(2) TABLED ON OCTOBER 19, 2020 October 16, 2020 MS. LESA SEMMLER MLA, INUVIK TWIN LAKES OQ 274-19(2) Support for Residents Impacted by Flooding This letter is in follow up to the Oral Question you raised on June 2, 2020, regarding support for residents impacted by flooding in the Beaufort Delta. I committed to providing an update on the resources available for residents of the Northwest Territories (NWT) in dealing with floods. In the NWT, flood risk is considered to be one of the most destructive natural hazards, second to wildfires. There are nine communities considered flood risk areas; including Hay River, Fort Simpson, Fort Liard, Nahanni Butte, Tulita, Fort Good Hope, Fort McPherson, Aklavik, and Tuktoyaktuk. As part of its mandate, Municipal and Community Affairs (MACA), through the Emergency Management Organization (EMO), works with communities to mitigate, prepare for, respond to and recover from emergencies including flooding events. Starting in April each year, the EMO monitors seasonal breakup and high-water conditions across the territory and advises communities of high-risk conditions. MACA Regional staff work with flood risk communities to ensure community awareness and the updating of emergency plans to support community preparedness activities. When flood situations occur, the local emergency plan is enacted, and the EMO activates the community’s NWT Emergency Plan, at the level required to provide the support and resources required. Should the event cause wide spread damage to a community, the Government of the Northwest Territories’ (GNWT) Disaster Assistance Policy may apply to assist the recovery of residents, businesses and the community.

    ECOLOGY OF FOOD AND NUTRITION http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/03670244.2015.1072812 Country food sharing networks, household structure, and implications for understanding food insecurity in Arctic Canada Peter Collingsa, Meredith G. Martena, Tristan Pearceb, and Alyson G. Youngc aDepartment of Anthropology, University of Florida, Florida, USA; bUniversity of the Sunshine Coast, Sippy Downs, Australia; cDepartment of Anthropology, University of Florida, Florida, USA ABSTRACT KEYWORDS We examine the cultural context of food insecurity among Food security; food sharing; Inuit in Ulukhaktok, Northwest Territories, Canada. An analysis industrial foods; Inuit; of the social network of country food exchanges among 122 traditional foods households in the settlement reveals that a household’s betweenness centrality—a measure of brokerage—in the country food network is predicted by the age of the house- hold. The households of married couples were better posi- tioned within the sharing network than were the households of single females or single males. Households with an active hunter or elder were also better positioned in the network. The households of single men and women appear to experience limited access to country food, a considerable problem given the increasing number of single-adult households over time. We conclude that the differences between how single women and single men experience constrained access to country foods may partially account for previous findings that single women in arctic settlements appear to be at particular risk for food insecurity. Introduction For many Canadian Inuit, country foods—foods acquired by hunting, fish- ing, trapping, or collecting—remain central to their diets despite decades of social, economic, and political changes.

I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the head of my department or by his or her representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department of The University of British Columbia 1956 Main Mall Vancouver, Canada V6T 1Y3 DE-6 (3/81) ABSTRACT This paper discusses community resistance to the imposition of an external industrial socio-economic system and the destruction of a distinctive land-based way of life. It shows how historically Inuvialuit independence has been eroded by contact with the external economic system and the assimilationist policies of the government. In spite of these pressures, however, the Inuvialuit have struggled to retain their culture and their land-based economy. This thesis shows that hunting and trapping continue to be viable and to contribute significant income, both cash and income- in-kind to the community.

  • Volunteer Activities in the Past Year
    NWT Bureau of newstats Statistics Released: March 10, 2020 2020-08 ISSN-0827-3545 Volunteering 2019 NWT Community Survey The NWT Community Survey asked residents of the Northwest Territories (NWT) about volunteer activities in the past year. As in previous surveys, the focus was on unpaid help provided to groups or organizations such as schools, religious & charitable organizations, and sports or community associations. In 2018, about 39% or 13,561 NWT residents aged 15 years and older volunteered their time. The most common volunteer activity for both males and females was canvassing or fundraising (11%), followed by volunteering on a board or committee (10%), and teaching or mentoring (9.5%). Figure 1: Volunteer Activity by Type and Sex, NWT 2018 Canvass or fundraise Board or committee member Teach, mentor or educate Collect, serve or deliver food/goods Coach or referee Provide counsel or advice Male Female Maintain, repair or build Office work Fire-fighting or search & rescue Other - 500 1,000 1,500 2,000 2,500 3,000 3,500 4,000 # of persons About 11% in the volunteer category ‘Other’ (Table 1) lived in Hay River or Fort Smith, most of whom volunteered in activities related to the 2018 Arctic Winter games.

  • An Ethnohistorical Review of Health and Healing in Aklavik, NWT, Canada
    “Never Say Die”: An Ethnohistorical Review of Health and Healing in Aklavik, NWT, Canada by Elizabeth Cooper A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Department of Native Studies University of Manitoba Winnipeg Copyright © 2010 by Elizabeth Cooper Abstract The community of Aklavik, North West Territories, was known as the “Gateway to the North” throughout the first half of the Twentieth Century. In 1959, the Canadian Federal Government decided to relocate the town to a new location for a variety of economic and environmental reasons. Gwitch’in and Inuvialuit refused to move, thus claiming their current community motto “Never Say Die”. Through a series of interviews and participant observation with Elders in Aklavik and Inuvik, along with consultation of secondary literature and archival sources, this thesis examines ideas of the impact of mission hospitals, notions of health, wellness and community through an analysis of some of the events that transpired during this interesting period of history. Acknowledgements I would like to thank and honour the people in both Aklavik and Inuvik for their help and support with this project. I would like to thank my thesis committee, Dr. Christopher G Trott, Dr Emma LaRocque and Dr. Mark Rumel for their continued help and support throughout this project. I would like to thank the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, Dr. S. Michelle Driedger’s Research in Science Communication CIHR-CFI Research Lab, University of Manitoba Graduate Studies, University of Manitoba Faculty of Arts, University of Manitoba, Department of Native Studies and University of Manitoba Graduate Students Association, for making both the research and dissemination of results for this project possible.
