Glaciological Research in the Canadian Arctic
GLACIOLOGICALRESEARCH IN THE CANADIAN ARCTIC? P. D. Baird” HE glaciers of the Canadian Arctic are amongst the least known of the northern hemisphere. From the earliest surveys, however,it was clear that Tthey containnumerous features of exceptionalinterest tothe glaciologist. The ice assumes many different forms including glacier caps, highland glaciers gradinginto vast areas of transectionglaciers, valley, cirque, and piedmont forms,and finally some unique shelf ice. It is believed that all thisice has non-temperate geophysical characteristics (Ahlmann, 1948, pp. 66-7) and that, therefore,there is a widerange omf types to study,intermediate between Greenland’s polar inland ice, and the temperate ice of Iceland and Norway. The regimen of the glaciersin the Canadian Arctic is apparentlyhealthier than those studied by Ahlmann around the North Atlantic. The highlandrim of northeastarctic Canada was probablythe source region from which the WisconsinLaurentide Ice sheet expanded to cover an area nearly as large as Antarctica in eastern and central North America. At the close of the Wisconsin age the ice disappeared in southern areas and the lowlands of the north, buthas persisted as remnants on Baffin, Bylot, Devon, Ellesmere, and Axel Heiberg islands to the present day (Flint, 1943). The glacierized area underconsideration (Fig. 1) extendsabout 1,600 miles and occupiesan estimated area of 50,000 square miles, Northern Labrador is omitted as only small glacierettes exist today.Ellesmere Island, completely photographed from the air, but still to be mapped in detail, has more than half the total ice for the region. It is found in four distinct areas, Grant, Grinnell, Ellesmere proper, and North Lincoln (or Sverdrup), called “quarters” here for convenience. -

They are places of learning, recreation and inspiration where Canadians can connect with our past and appreciate the natural, cultural and social forces that shaped Canada. From our smallest national park to our most visited national historic site to our largest national marine conservation area, each of these places offers Canadians and visitors several experiential opportunities to enjoy Canada’s historic and natural heritage. These places of beauty, wonder and learning are valued by Canadians - they are part of our past, our present and our future. -

A Brief History of Federal Inuit Policy Development: Lessons in Consultation and Cultural Competence Erik Anderson

Aboriginal Policy Research Consortium International (APRCi). 70. https://ir.lib.uwo.ca/aprci/70 9 A Brief History of Federal Inuit Policy Development: Lessons in Consultation and Cultural Competence1 Erik Anderson and Sarah Bonesteel Introduction Consultation is a loaded concept in federal Aboriginal policy development. Canada now has a legal duty to consult in certain contexts thanks to two recent Supreme Court of Canada decisions.2 These decisions, and the situations that may trigger a legal duty to consult, however, continue to be open to interpretation. This is one reason why Aboriginal organizations increasingly refuse to use the term “consultation” when entering into discussion with Canada—for fear that any talks will be interpreted by Canada as fulfillment of its legal duty to consult and used as justification for taking certain policy decisions. The “meaningful consul- tation” concept is an evolving area of Aboriginal policy development that will continue to be problematic as long as there are competing views of when and how consultation should take place, or indeed what is involved in meaningful consul- tations. Compounding the difficulties of reaching agreement on what triggers or constitutes sufficient consultation can be a general mistrust of government. -

However, in depth it examines how Stallworthy’s work intersected with Canadian sovereignty and colonialism in a period of Canadian history when representations of Canadian icons (the North and the Mountie) were of great importance. It also develops a framework that could be used to analyze texts found in many archival fonds. -

Summer Movements of Radio-Tagged Arctic Charr (Salvelinus Alpinus) in Lake Hazen, Nunavut, Canada JOHN A
ARCTIC VOL. 54, NO. 4 (DECEMBER 2001) P. 418– 424 Summer Movements of Radio-Tagged Arctic Charr (Salvelinus alpinus) in Lake Hazen, Nunavut, Canada JOHN A. BABALUK,1,2 H. RENEE WISSINK,3,4 BARRY G. TROKE,3,5 DOUGLAS A. CLARK3,6 and JAMES D. JOHNSON1 (Received 28 June 2000; accepted in revised form 2 March 2001) ABSTRACT. Radiotelemetry was used to determine whether Lake Hazen arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) were anadromous and to determine movements of the charr within the lake. In 1995 and 1996, 62 and 55 charr, respectively, were captured, radio-tagged, and released back into the lake. A fixed data acquisition system recorded limited movements of radio-tagged charr in the upper reaches of the Ruggles River, the only outlet from the lake to the sea, in 1995. When movements of radio-tagged charr within Lake Hazen were monitored opportunistically in 1995, most of the relocated charr were found in warmer, more productive waters associated with inflowing streams. No movements of radio-tagged charr in the Ruggles River were recorded in 1996 when the data acquisition system was operated in the lower reaches of the river. These observations supported the conclusions of a study of Lake Hazen charr otolith strontium distribution that Lake Hazen charr were non-anadromous. The Ruggles River may be a detriment to anadromous behaviour because of its length (ca. 29 km), velocity (up to 2.25 m·s-1), and the year-round presence of aufeis (layered ice buildup). In summer, instead of migrating to the sea to feed, Lake Hazen charr appear to move to feed on abundant prey found in areas where inlet streams enter the lake. -
Native Studies 10
Native Studies 10 If Natives began living on the Plains 11,500 years ago, and Europeans first saw the Canadian Plains less than 300 years ago, this means that more than 97% of Plains history is Native history alone. Imagine a textbook with ten chapters, with each chapter portraying an equal part of that history. The first nine chapters would be devoted to Native history, as would more than 70% of the final chapter.
