Mass Communication in the Canadian Arctic Mass Communication and Eskimo Adaptation .~ 1 MASS COMMUNICATION IN THE CANADIAN ARCTIC MASS COMMUNICATION AND ESKIMO ADAPTATION IN THE CANADIAN ARCTIC Robert G. Mayes ABSTRACT This is a study of the mass communication system of the Canadian Arctic. Emphasis is placed on enumerating the components of the system and on clarifying both its structure and function in the process of Eskimo adaptation to west'ern society. The components include the senders and receivers of messages, the messages themselves, the channels by which messages are exchanged, and the effects the messages have on their receivers. It is shown that the spatial distribution of available channels is biased, and that the available channels are inaccessible to most residents of the region. The major source of information is government, and most information they transmit is irrelevant to the majority of the receivers, the Eskimos. The mass communication system does not, therefore, act to ease the adaptation of Eskimos to western society. M. A.

Mr. W. ~. Kemp supervised the research, and his guidance and criticism are greatly appreciated. Several staff members of the Department of Conununications and the Canadian Broadcasting· Corporation in Ottawa were most generous with their time and assistance. The newspaper editors, staff members of the Government of the Northwest Territories, and the residents of Frobisher Bay and Pangnirtung, N.1-l.T., who submitted to interviews and responded to questionnaires provided an invaluable source of information. Mfss Rosa Jackson and Mr. and Mrs. Tony Moss-Davies particularly gave an enormous amount of help. Miss Louise Paré assisted with the cartographie . work, and Hiss Patty Lawlor èdited some of the more unreadable passages of the thesis. The field trip to southern Baffin Island was made possible by a research grant awarded to Mr. Kemp by the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development. i TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS i TABLE OF CONTENTS ii LIST OF MAPS . iv LIST OF TABLES v LIST OF FIGURES AND PLATES vi Chapter 1: INTRODUCTION 1 The Communication Process 2 Geographie Considerations 4 Model of the Communication Process 7 Previous Work 8 Chapter 2: THE EVOLUTION OF MASS COMMUNICATION IN THE CANADIAN ARCTIC 13 The Eskimo Oral Tradition 14 Missionaries 19 Functional Literacy 22 The Introduction of Radio 27 Mass Communication in the Canadian North in 1956 32 Summary 33 Chapter 3: THE MASS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM OF THE CANADIAN ARCTIC 35 The C.B.C.

" Norbert Wiener (1970c1950, 25). This thesis is a study of the mass communication system that qperates within the Canadian Arctic. The emphasis is p1aced on identifying the components and structure of the system, and on exp1aining how it functions as a means of information exchange between the Eskimo and agents of western culture. The Arctic is a socially and economica11y underdeveloped region within Canada. The average age at death for Eskimos in 1965 was twenty years, while for aIl Canadians it was about 62. Infant morta1ity among Eskimos in 1966 was 108.8/1000 live births, while for aIl Canadians the rate was 23.1/1000 (Economic Counci1 of Canada, 1968, 121). The incidence of tubercu1osis, venereal disease, and alcoholism is substantially higher among Eskimos than among Canadians as a group (Northwest Territories, 1971). Jenness (1964, 106) has provided evidence that as much as 50% of the Eskimo population required relief in the mid-1960s to remain financially solvent. The Econqmic Council of Canada (1968, 122) considers the major reason for these problems to be the Eskimos' difficulty in " ••• coping with, and adapting to, the problems of the major society, both because of present attitudes within the white community and because of strong cultural differences". An effective system of mass communication, by providing the Eskimos with the information basic to the process of social change, could make a significant contribution to raising their standard of living and quality of life. To clarify the structure of the mass communication system in the 2 Canadian Arctic, and to establish how effectively the system functions as an agent of social change, five points are considered: 1) how the mass communication system has evolved over time; 2) what channels (mass media) have been utilized in the system; 3) what spatial biases and variations in channel accessibility exist in the system; 4) who the users of the channels have been; and 5) what the content of the information flowing through the system has been. It is the spatial arrangement of communication facilities and services combined with the content of the information flowing through the system that de termines the degree to which a system will provide what Schramm (1964, ix) has called the "free and adequate" information that must be accessible if the process of social change isto proceed. Rogers (1969, 17) has pointed out specifically how social change and communication are related: "Social change is the process by which alteration occurs in the structure and function of a social system. The three steps involved in social change are (1) invention, the process by which new ideas are originated and developed; (2) diffusion, the process by which these new ideas are communicated throughout a social system; and (3) consequence, the SUffi of the changes occurring within the system as a result of the adoption or rejection of innovations." This thesis, as a geographic study, focusses primarily on the structure of the system that allows the diffusion of information to take place. The first and third of Rogers' steps are of secondary concern. Both are considered only within the context of manifest information content, and not as part of a psychological process of information conception or impact. Rogers has also provided a definition of communication. It is " .•. the process by which messages are transferred from a source to one or more receivers" (Ibid., 7). The process opera tes in two ways, as mass communication and as intercommunication, the distinction being based on the different characteristics of each. These are summarised in Table 1-1. 3 Table 1-1 Characteristics of Mass and Intercommunication Characteristic Mass Inter.

    Module 3 & 7: Developing an impact strategy and creating communication out put of the IEA ( DRAFT) Overview This module will focus on methods to position and deliver a national IEA fi ndings and recommendation and creating communication of it. This can have real impact on environmental policy and practice at a series of levels, ranging from local to national. Why bother with developing an impact strategy and creating communication of the IEA outputs? Each day the general people and decision-makers get numerous text information. This involves times to read out of 24 hours of his day. Simply providing yet another report to your senior bureaucrats and political leaders won’t be enough to ensure that they read your fi ndings, let alone act upon them. Before you start producing your main report and other products, you need to make a series of important decisions. By identifying your target audience(s), you will be better able to shape your message and select the right content, and later, the right presentation format. By carefully considering our budget, you will be better and more able to make realistic decisions about the kind of product you feel will be most benefi cial. You will have to decide what kinds of information products best suit your message. We want to take you through the steps that will help you determine how to engage the right people to listen to you and respond to your work. This impact process takes time; and involves a real emphasis on being clear and strategic in identifying the changes that you want to see as a result of your assessment and how well the fi ndings can be communicated.
