Pickering A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS DEPARTMENT OF ARCHAEOLOGY CALGARY, ALBERTA SEPTEMBER, 2012 © Sean J. Pickering 2012 Abstract The precontact subsistence-settlement strategy of Taltheilei tradition groups has been interpreted by past researchers as representing a high residential mobility forager system characterized by ephemeral warm season use of the Barrenlands environment, while hunting barrenground caribou. However, the excavation of four semi-subterranean house pits at the Ikirahak site (JjKs-7), in the Southern Kivalliq District of Nunavut, has challenged these assumptions. An analysis of the domestic architecture, as well as the morphological and spatial attributes of the excavated lithic artifacts, has shown that some Taltheilei groups inhabited the Barrenlands environment during the cold season for extended periods of time likely subsisting on stored resources.

  • Represent 25 Species
    59.9(71.2) Article II.- MAMMALS FROM THE ATHABASKA-MIACKENZIE REGION OF CANADA. By J. A. ALLEN. During the summer of 1907 Mr. E. Thompson Seton, accompanied by Mr. Edward A. Preble of the Biological Survey as assistant, made an expedi- tion to the Barren Grounds in the vicinity of Aylmer Lake, Mackenzie District, for the purpose of natural history exploration. Their route was by way of the Athabaska River, Slave River, Great Slave Lake, and the chain of lakes northeastward to Aylmer Lake. The birds and mammals obtained on this trip were purchased for this Museum, through the generosity of Mrs. Morris K. Jesup. The birds have already been briefly reported upon by Mr. Seton; ' for the sake of the localities, and the measurements taken by Mr. Preble from the specimens in the flesh, it seems worth while to record these data for the mammals, which comprise about 2-70 specimens, and represent 25 species. The principal points at which collections were made are: Athabaska River, 20 miles below Athabaska Landing, May 18 and 19; Grand Rapids, Athabaska River, May 22-24; Fort McMurray, Athabaska River, May 28, 29; Slave River, June 6-8; Fort Smith, Slave River, on the Athabaska- Mackenzie boundary, June 13-July 2; Great Slave Lake (various points), July 19-27, September 10-27; east shore of Artillery Lake, August 2-5; Aylmner Lake (various points), August 14-29; Artillery Lake (mostly east shore at tree limit), August 31-September 8. The collection consists mainly of rodents, but lacks representatives of the genera Phenacomys and Synaptomys; it also contains only a single specimen of Sorex, and single specimens each of three species of Putorius; also only two specimens of Lepus, and one of Eutamias.

    2018 Abstract and Summary Volume Cover photograph Carcajou River, NWT; Viktor Terlaky, Senior Petroleum Geologist at the Northwest Territories Geological Survey The picture was taken following a rainstorm along Carcajou River, NWT, which resulted in a spectacular rainbow across the river valley. In the background are outcrops of the Late Devonian Imperial Formation, interpreted to be submarine turbidite deposits. The light bands are sandstone bodies intercalated with the darker shale intervals, representing periodic activity in sedimentation. Compiled by D. Irwin, S.D. Gervais, and V.

  • Movements and Distribution of the Bathurst and Ahiak Barren-Ground
    Movements and distribution of the Bathurst and Ahiak barren-ground caribou herds 2005 Annual Report Submitted to West Kitikmeot Slave Study Society Submitted By Project Leader Anne Gunn Project Team Adrian D’Hont, Judy Williams Organisation Wildlife Division, Environment and Natural Resources, Government of the Northwest Territories, Yellowknife. 2 Summary: Objectives for 2005 included deploying 10 collars on cows from the Bathurst caribou herd and 10 collars on cows from the Ahiak caribou herd. A reconnaissance survey over the winter range of the Bathurst herd found heavy concentrations of caribou at Lac Grandin southeast to Rae Lakes and then low densities of caribou until east of Yellowknife. Of the 10 collars put on the Bathurst range, three died between April and June and the remaining seven calved on the Bathurst calving ground. Flights over the Ahiak winter range resulted in no caribou seen east of Contwoyto, low concentrations on the Back River and high concentrations east of Artillery Lake and in the Nonacho Lake area. Five collars were deployed east of Artillery Lake and five in the Nonacho Lake area. Of the five collars deployed in the Nonacho Lake area, two caribou migrated to the Bathurst calving ground. The remaining eight collars calved on the Ahiak calving ground. In 2005, in addition to addressing the objectives of the movement and distribution study for individual herds we successfully collared 12 cows from the Bathurst herd and 8 from the Ahiak herd. We also documented overlap in the winter distribution of Ahiak and Bathurst caribou at Nonacho Lake. Acknowledgements: West Kitikmeot Slave Study Society funded the study and we thank the Board for their continued support.

This letter specifically addresses Information Request 1: Potential impacts to cultural use of Lac de Gras Area 1. Please describe how your group used the Lac de Gras area culturally (including the hunting, fishing, trapping, gathering, and travel) before mining started there. As this question pertains to the land use prior to the development of Diavik Diamond Mine, this information was collected and provided to the regulators during the initial environmental assessment of the mine. Please see the attached “Appendix A: Can’t Live Without Work” by North Slave Metis Alliance (1999). 2. Please describe how your group would use and feel about the Lac de Gras area under the following scenarios: a) reconnecting empty pits and underground mine workings with Lac de Gras at closure (that is, Diavik’s current closure plan for the mine), b) putting processed kimberlite into the pits and underground mine workings before reconnecting them to Lac de Gras (that is, the proposed activities for this environmental assessment), c) putting processed kimberlite into the pits and underground mine workings and not reconnecting them with Lac de Gras. During a community meeting, NSMA members expressed that their interest was to have the Diavik mine site (not just the pits) return to pre-development condition as much as practicable, in such a way that the area would be the cleanest and safest environment possible for humans and wildlife.
