  • FORTY YEARS of REINDEER HERDING in Me MACKENZIE DELTA, N.W.T
    FORTY YEARS OF REINDEER HERDING IN mE MACKENZIE DELTA, N.W.T. Erhard Treude (Institute of Geography, University of Münster) From: Polar[orschung, Vol. 45, No. 2, 1975, pp. 129-148. Abstract: Reindeer herding in the Mackenzie Delta area started in March 1935, when a herd of 2,370 animals was delivered to the newly established Reindeer Grazing Reserve. Conceived to supplement the dwindling wildlife resources of the Canadian Arctic and to improve the economic conditions of the native Eskimos, the policy was to keep a government-owned nucleus herd from which additional units could be obtained and put under Eskimo management. Several native-owned herds were set up, but for various reasons they all were retumed to the government, the last one in 1964. A new approach was undertaken in 1960; in an attempt to demonstrate the economic feasibility of an Arctic reindeer industry, the project was placed under private management. There were plans to start large-scale reindeer breeding following modern conceptions of reindeer husbandry, but when the reindeer population dropped alarmingly, the Canadian Wildlife Service in 1968 accepted the responsibility for a five-year term. The main task then was to rebuild the herd and to conduct biological as well as management-related studies. In March 1974, the herd was finally sold to a native-owned Reindeer Company. In addition to providing a detailed review of reindeer herding in the Mackenzie Delta area, an attempt is made to evaluate the past economic importance of the project and to assess its potential future development.

Field techniques included informal observation and intensive intemews with selected native and white informers. Factors examined were the educational, lob-skill, and housing needs which affect the*natives; thcir bush culture which includes sharing and consumption ethics and a derogatory attitude toward status seeking; and heavy drinking, a predominant problem among the natives. Some recommendations were; (1) an adult education program stressing the value systems of town life should be established; (2) the Trappers Association should be revived to provide equipment arid encouragement to natives more suited to trapping than town life; and (3) a summer's work program should be instituted for teenage native males.

Northern Administration Branch [text]. - 1949-1973 This accession consists of 34 meters of material, primarily textual created from 1949 to 1973. The records were created by the Northern Administration Branch and its various predecessors as a result of the federal governments activities in administering the Northwest Territories. A small number of photographs were located in the files during processing, however these images have been left in their original files and no attempt has been made to catalogue them. Although temporary file lists had been created in the past, final arrangement and description was completed in 1993. This project was financed in part via the Canadian Council of Archives Backlog Reduction Program. The Project Archivists were Janice Brum and Lorna Dosso, supervised by the Senior Archivist, Ian Moir. During this processing, the collection was reduced from approximately 145 meters to its present 34 meters. The bulk of the records were purely administrative and were culled from the collection.
