Nunavut today faces a moment of change, a moment of crisis. It is a crisis in Inuit education and employment, a crisis magnified by the advent of global warming in the Arctic and the challenge of Arctic sovereignty. The Nunavut Land Claims Agreement that led to the creation of Nunavut is by far the largest of the land claims settlements in the modern land claims

This study provides the most recent survey of epibenthic communities in Hudson Bay and Hudson Strait and explores their relationships with environmental variables, including mean annual primary production and particulate organic carbon in surface water, bottom oceanographic variables, and substrate type. Epibenthic trawl samples were collected at 46 stations, with a total of 380 epibenthic taxa identified, representing 71% of the estimated taxa within the system. Three communities were defined based on biomass and taxonomic composition. Ordination analyses showed them to be associated primarily with substrate type, salinity, and annual primary production. A first community, associated with coarse substrate, was distributed along the coastlines and near the river mouths. This community was characterized by the lowest density and taxonomic richness and the highest biomass of filter and suspension feeders. A second community, composed mostly of deposit feeders and small abundant epibenthic organisms, was associated with soft substrate and distributed in the deepest waters.

A first edition of this report was published in 1913 ; a larger second edition was issued in 1915, hut the demand for the volume having exhausted the supply this third edition has become necessary. The request for inform- ation on this territory has always been great and it is believed that with facilities for rapid transportation by aeroplane, much greater interest still will he displayed.

Abraham, Christopher M. Sharp, and Peter M. Kotanen Abstract: Foraging by hyperabundant Arctic-nesting geese has significant impacts on vegetation of Arctic and subarctic coastal lowlands, but long-term data sets documenting these changes are rare. We undertook intensive surveys of plant communities at East Bay and South Bay, Southampton Island, Nunavut, Canada, in July 2010. Lesser Snow Geese, Ross’s Geese, Cackling Geese, and Brant nest and rear young at these sites; the first three have experienced up to 10-fold increases since the 1970s. At East Bay, we found significant declines in graminoids over the 31-year span, as well as significant declines in lichen and willow cover, and significant increases in rock cover. Transect data indicated graminoids were present at only 15%–36% of points at East Bay, whereas at South Bay, graminoids were present at 28%–90% of points. Moss was more prominent in transects at South Bay than at East Bay (40%–85% vs.

Les progrès les plus considérables des recherches océanographiques Aller au sommaire du numéro ont cependant été réalisés depuis la IIe guerre mondiale, grâce surtout aux travaux entrepris dans l'Arctique oriental par le Bureau des recherches sur les pêcheries. Éditeur(s) L'auteur s'étend d'abord sur l'océanographie physique de la région ; il étudie successivement la bathymétrie, la répartition et les caractères des principales Département de géographie de l'Université Laval masses d'eau, les courants, les glaces et les marées. Suit une analyse de la biologie marine, qui souligne en particulier l'importance d'un facteur : ISSN l'absence de brassage vertical des eaux. La répartition de la faune marine indique que si les régions dominées par les eaux arctiques sont riches en 0007-9766 (imprimé) mammifères, celles où l'influence atlantique est forte sont de beaucoup les plus 1708-8968 (numérique) poissonneuses.

Kenojuak Ashevak is one of Canada’s most acclaimed graphic artists. Her long list of achievements and honours is surpassed only by her stamina and good humour. Born on south Baffin Island at a camp area known as Ikirisaq, Kenojuak grew up traveling from camp to camp on south Baffin and in Arctic Quebec (Nunavik). Kenojuak’s drawings are immediately captivating, and she has been represented in almost every annual Dorset Fine Arts print collection since 1959. Her work has also been included in numerous special projects, books and commissions, including Canada Post stamps, the World Wildlife Print Portfolio (1978), Commonwealth Print Portfolio (1978), and Via Rail’s Club Car series which featured some of Canada’s most highly respected artists. Kenojuak has received many special honours over the years. She is now a Companion in the Order of Canada, was awarded Honourary Degrees from both Queen's University and the University of Toronto and in 2001 was inducted into Canada’s Walk of Fame. She is the first Inuit artist to be so honoured, and joins many other famous and accomplished Canadians.
