  • 249 the Sheshatshiu Sociolinguistic Variability

    249 the Sheshatshiu Sociolinguistic Variability

    249 THE SHESHATSHIU SOCIOLINGUISTIC VARIABILITY PROJECT: A PRELIMINARY REPORT Marguerite MacKenzie and Sandra Clarke Memorial University of Newfoundland Introduction This paper constitutes a preliminary report on the investigation of linguistic variation among the speakers of a dialect of Montagnais spo­ ken at Sheshatshiu, Labrador. The project was undertaken in the fall of 1981 and fieldwork was carried out early in 1982. The purpose of the project is, first, to provide detailed documentation on the linguis­ tic variation known to exist among the speakers of Montagnais in this village and, second, to try to correlate any patterns of variation with non-linguistic factors. This study is of particular interest because the community of Sheshatshiu is highly different from the urban, socially stratified communities for which the investigative techniques common to modern sociolinguistic research have been developed. The people of Sheshatshiu are semi-nomadic hunters who have traditionally lived in small family groups. They are now resident for a good portion of the year in a single location, the community of Sheshatshiu, which is clearly non-industrial, has virtually no economic base, and exists by virtue of the fact that in former years it was a summer gathering place for families who had spent the entire winter hunting and trapping in the bush. At the moment, the largest employers in the community are the school and the band administration. The Montagnais dialect spoken today by residents of Sheshatshiu is noteworthy for its degree of intracommunity variability. Clearly, in such an apparently non-economically stratified society, the variable of informant socio-economic status could hardly be expected to aid in accounting for this perceived linguistic variability.

It was created for coordinated administration of common priorities including capacity development, devolution of programs, and managing the tripartite process with Canada and the province of Newfoundland & Labrador (NL). Prior to the 1960’s the Innu of Labrador were nomadic and practiced traditional midwifery. In recent focus groups in Sheshatshiu and Natuashish Innu elders remembered and described childbearing on Innu lands in the past. After settlement of Sheshatshiu and Davis Inlet, traditional midwives continued to provide care in the communities for a short time before childbirth was moved out of the community and to Happy Valley Goose Bay. Currently Innu women and families are not receiving midwifery care by Innu midwives. Care is fragmented and women are seeing different providers for different aspects of their care which makes it difficult to build trusting relationships. Some care is provided in the community but there are no children being born in Sheshatshiu and/or Natuashish. All Innu women are required to travel to the Labrador Grenfell Health hospital which is located in Happy Valley Goose Bay. Other than a couple Innu interpreters Labrador Grenfell Health has no professional Innu health staff, making the hospital a foreign and uninviting environment to all Innu people.
  • The Transition from the Migratory to the Resident Fishery in the Strait of Belle Isle*

    The Transition from the Migratory to the Resident Fishery in the Strait of Belle Isle*

    PATRICIA THORNTON The Transition from the Migratory to the Resident Fishery in the Strait of Belle Isle* THE EVOLUTION OF THE MERCHANT COLONIAL system in Newfoundland from migratory ship fishery to permanent resident fishery was a process which was repeated several times over the course of the colony's history, as frontier conditions retreated before the spread of settlement. On the east coast, the transition from a British-based shore fishery operated by hired servants to one in which merchants became suppliers and marketers for Newfoundland fishing families took place in the second half of the 18th century. Further north and on the south coast the migratory fishery persisted longer,1 but it was only in the Strait of Belle Isle that it held sway from its inception in the 1760s until well into the 1820s. Then here too it was slowly transformed into a resident fishery as migratory personnel became residents of the shore, with the arrival of settlers from Conception and Trinity Bays and merchants and traders from St John's and Halifax. Gerald Sider has provided an integrated and provocative conceptual framework within which to view this transformation. Three aspects of his thesis will be examined here. First, he states that the English merchants, controlling the migratory fishery throughout the 17th and 18th centuries, opposed permanent settlement and landed property. Second, he claims that in the face of settlement in the first four decades of the 19th century, the merchants reacted by getting out of the fishing business and entrapping the resident fishermen in a cashless truck system, a transition from wages to truck which, he claims, represented a loss to the fishermen and which had to be forcibly imposed by the courts.

    Migration: a Way of Life for the Innu Newfoundland - Secondary

    MIGRATION: A WAY OF LIFE FOR THE INNU NEWFOUNDLAND - SECONDARY Migration: A Way of life for the Innu of Labrador for Thousands of Years Lesson Overview: This lesson is to introduce students to the idea of migration by integrating the link between migration and Canada’s Aboriginal peoples. In this case, students will be studying the Innu People of Quebec and Labrador. The Innu have been living in Quebec and Labrador for thousands of years and have migrated over their land for all of that time. Today, migrations still occur but it is not like it was in the “old” days. Most of the Innu today live seasonally in the country and reside in communities in Quebec and in two communities: Sheshatshiu (Shet a Shee) and Natuashish (Nat wa Shish) in Labrador for the remainder of the year. Grade Level: Grades 9-12 Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island Grade 9 Social Studies, “Atlantic Canada in the Global Community” Newfoundland and Labrador, Grade 10-12: Canadian Geography, and World Geography. Time Required: This lesson can be completed in two one-hour periods. One class should be used for outlining the subject matter: giving the definitions, exploring the geographic area through maps, and discussion. In the second class, students should move to a computer lab and look at the website that supports the Innu culture and deals with family migrations. The link students should go to for this lesson is: http://www.innustories.ca/1300_e.php The website is called “tipatshimuna” which in Innu-Aimum (the language spoke by most Innu today) means stories.

I also thank Keith Storey for his valuable comments and editorial contributions. The Population Project: Newfoundland and Labrador in Transition In 2015, Newfoundland and Labrador had the most rapidly aging population in the country – which when combined with high rates of youth out-migration, declining birth rates, and an increasing number of people moving from rural parts of the province to more urban centres, means that the province is facing an unprecedented population challenge. Without intervention, this trend will have a drastic impact on the economy, governance, and the overall quality of life for the people of the province. Planning for this change and developing strategies to adjust and adapt to it is paramount. The Harris Centre’s Population Project has developed potential demographic scenarios

    HOWSE MINERALS LIMITED HOWSE PROJECT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT – (APRIL 2016) - SUBMITTED TO THE CEAA 7.5 SOCIOECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT This document presents the results of the biophysical effects assessment in compliance with the federal and provincial guidelines. All results apply to both jurisdictions simultaneously, with the exception of the Air Quality component. For this, unless otherwise noted, the results presented/discussed refer to the federal guidelines. A unique subsection (7.3.2.2.2) is provided which presents the Air Quality results in compliance with the EPR guidelines. 7.5.1 Regional and Historical Context The nearest populations to the Project site are found in the Schefferville and Kawawachikamach areas. The Town of Schefferville and Matimekush-Lac John, an Innu community, are located approximately 25 km from the Howse Property, and 2 km from the Labrador border. The Naskapi community of Kawawachikamach is located about 15 km northeast of Schefferville, by road. In Labrador, the closest cities, Labrador City and Wabush, are located approximately 260 kilometres from the Schefferville area (Figure 7-37). The RSA for all socioeconomic components includes: . Labrador West (Labrador City and Wabush); and . the City of Sept-Îles, and Uashat and Mani-Utenam. As discussed in Chapter 4, however, Uashat and Mani-Utenam are considered within the LSA for land-use and harvesting activities (Section 7.5.2.1). The IN and NCC are also considered to be within the RSA, in particular due to their population and their Aboriginal rights and land-claims, of which an overview is presented. The section below describes in broad terms the socioeconomic and historic context of the region in which the Howse Project will be inserted.
