In the existing Athabaskan literature, the rnorphological and semantic properties of the imperfective and perfective prefbces, as weil as their distribution across the verb corpus, are not considered in any detail. The goal of this thesis is to gain a better understanding of the morphosemantic distribution of the five pairs of imperfective and perfective aspect prefxes in Chipewyan. Ta this end, Smith's five universal situation types are applied to the rcstricted distribution of the aspect prefix pairs which, in tum, creates a classification of the morphosemantic propenies of Chipewyan verbs. Although previous Athabaskan analyses contribute to the present research, they do not consider the properties of the Athabaskan languages from a crosslinguistic perspective. In contrash the present analysis sheds light on the importance of a universal perspective of Chipewyan and provides a better understanding ot the significance of the imperfective and perfective aspect prefixes in the Chipewyan verb. My first thanks go to my supervisor, E.-D.Cook. He introduced me to Chipewyan and the rnany problems surroundhg its analysis. Ms knowledge of the language is astounding and proved invaluable for me while writing this thesis, Also, his advise and support have been greatiy appreciated. 1would like to thank the University of Calgary, partïculvly the Department of Linguistics, for financial support, computer facilities, and a positive atmosphere in which to work. 1 would also iïke to thank the Government for Aiberta for the funding they provided. My fieldwork was funded by a University Research Grants Cornmittee Thesis Research Grant, as well as by the Department of Indian and Northem Affairs. I want to thank my fellow graduate students - Val, Naorni, Lam, Susan, Christine, Leslie, AUison, Bob, and Gnce - for di of their support and fnendship. 1 would also like to thank Brian Potter for his advise and encouragement Thanks are also extended to my new friends in La Loche, Saskatchewan, especiaily to Martha and Ricky who welcomed me into their home. Without the students and staff at Dene High School 1would have been lost, and 1thank them for their hospiiality. 1would also like to thank the following people for sharing their language with me: Vicky Cardinal, Cry sta1 Fontaine, Gary Fontaine, Glenda Fontaine, Rohey Janvier, Whston Janvier, Dave Laprise, Arlene Lemaigre, Lee Montgrand, Ritchie Montgrand, Julius Park, and Shen Piche. Thanks to Pierre and Marie Lemaigre who taught me a great deai about their language and culture at a swivai camp; a memory I will always ueasure, In particular, 1 would like to thank Waiter Park and CeIina Janvier for sharuig their language and culture.

  • The Fish and Fisheries of the Athabasca River Basin
    THE FISH AND FISHERIES OF THE ATHABASCA RIVER BASIN Their Status and Environmental Requirements Ron R. Wallace, Ph.D. Dominion Ecological Consulting, Ltd. and Peter J. McCart, Ph.D. Aquatic Environments Ltd. for Planning Division Alberta Environment March 31, 1984 PREFACE Thi s report was prepared by consul tants supervi sed by Bryan Kemper for Planning Division of Alberta Environment, and Dave Rimmer for Fish and Wildlife Division of Alberta Energy and Natural Resources. The Fisheries Overview series of reports have been commissioned to summarize known data to assist river basin planning studies and assist in the planning of new studies with the appropriate management agencies. The opinions expressed in this report are based upon written and verbal i nformati on provi ded to the consultant and therefore do not necessarily represent those of Alberta Environment. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The information presented here reviews what is currently known of fish ecology and production of the Athabasca Basin, and includes discussions of fish production, sport and commercial use of fish popul ati ons, and alternative opportuniti es for recreational fi shi ng in the rivers of the Athabasca Basin. Fisheries management objectives for the basin rivers and data gaps in existing knowledge of fish and fisheries are also discussed. In addition, water quality criteria for the protection of fish and aquatic life have been referenced, and, where possible, stream flows which affect fish populations have been included. The Athabasca Basin accounts for 23% of the land area of Alberta. For the purposes of this report, the basin has been divided into 10 sub-basins: four mainstem sub-basins, and six tributary sub-basins.

There is no toil, no heart breaking labour about it, but as much coolness, dexterity, and skill as man can throw into the work of hand, eye, and head; knowledge of when to strike and how to do it; knowledge of water and rock, and of the one hundred combinations which rock and water can assume-for these two things, rock and water, taken in the abstract, fail as com­ pletely to convey any idea of their fierce embracings in the throes of a rapid as the fire burning quietly in a drawing-room fireplace fails to convey the idea of a house wrapped and sheeted in flames.
