Studies and consultations are referenced using the American Psychological Association (APA) style, one of the most well know bibliographical format in the world. Sources are categorised across themes which are of interest to the Kativik Regional Government (KRG), such as health, environment, culture and socio‐economic issues. This knowledge can build on what Nunavik already possesses through Nunivaat. 2 SCOPING Our understanding of studies and consultations refers to organized processes of data collection with several elders. As a result, it excludes the following types of sources, which may nevertheless be relevant and interesting to the KRG: biographies or autobiographies of Inuit elders, books written by an Inuit elder, or ad‐hoc interviews with individual elders. If this document only included studies and consultations with an exclusive focus on elders, it would be very limited. The lack of studies with the word "elders" in their titles may partly be explained by the small size of the population, which deters certain types of quantitative studies. To ensure relevant sources were not put aside without due considerations, the scope of the document includes publications which are highly linked to elders, including but not limited to reports and articles on traditional knowledge, culture, language, etc. There certainly is a large amount of research conducted in Nunavik which can touch elders in one form or another. One has to walk a fine line in choosing which sources to include in order to maintain the relevance and specificity of the bibliography while not making it so large that it loses its purpose. To avoid that last caveat, certain types of sources were not considered, but are nevertheless acknowledged here. Examples of exclusion are web sites exist which present statistical tables in an interesting way, which can be used to isolate elders’ conditions but which do not offer any treatment of the data. These websites include the following: http://www.centreforthenorth.ca/tool, http://www.arcticstat.org/Statistics.aspx/Region/%5BCanada%5DNunavik/Indicator/%5BPopulatio n%5DAge/ , and http://www.inuitknowledge.ca/graph?dsid%5B%5D=217. In addition, certain public health institutions regularly conduct population studies to monitor quantitative parameters with respect to the population’s health. Because the focus is not on elders, they are not included here, but they may provide insight into elders’ realities. Otherwise, when in doubt, sources are included in the "potential" category. As a matter of fact, the "potential" category gathers sources which may be of interest but for which it is impossible to assess whether inclusion criteria are fully met in the current mandate. Examples are environmental evaluations which consulted Nunavik Inuit, with no specification of 3 ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY OF AVAILABLE STUDIES ON ELDERS IN NUNAVIK RESEARCH REPORT PRESENTED TO THE KATIVIK REGIONAL GOVERNMENT whether elders attended, studies of interest conducted with Canadian Inuit, with no specification of the location of the study, etc. With respect to the latter, care has been given to include only sources about Nunavik (consequently, publications on elders by the Canadian Arctic College were excluded), but it is possible that some studies in this document do focus on other Canadian Inuit. When in doubt, sources were included. Furthermore, media references are presented separately at the end, because while they are not scientific, they do provide insight into elders’ issues. Finally, the scope of this document covers the last twenty years, that is, from 1992‐2012. This time limit was abided by in searching databases and was conveyed to all interviewees. However, in some exceptional cases, the decision was made to include material originating prior to 1992. These exceptions are documents produced by organisations identified by the KRG as key stakeholders in elders’ issues, with the main example being the Avataq Cultural Institute (ACI) archival fonds, which are made out of interviews with several elders over the past few decades. These are included in a separate category called “Avataq Fonds”. Should KRG be interested in these materials, the respondent is invited to communicate with Ms Sylvie Côté‐Chew. Additionally, the ACI has held the Elders’ Regional Conference every year between 1981 and 1988, and biyearly after that (with one three year gap). The proceedings for conferences held after 1992 which are published and available are included in this bibliography, but others may be available with an appointment at the ACI Westmount office. 3 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY Niska used the following methods to fulfill this research’s objectives: 1. Telephone interviews with scholars and institutions focused on Inuit research to scope the research field and get insight from specialists on available studies. 2. Keyword search in academic journals and databases, as well as non‐scientific online sources, to uncover all research studies and consultations published over the past two decades. Over 70 people from over 50 organisations were contacted by phone and email throughout the study. Niska used due diligence in the process, and at least three attempts were made to get in touch with a given person or organisation. Information available publically on organisations’ websites was always gathered first, to ensure nothing was left missing. The unavoidable issue of institutional memory came up a few times in interviews with governmental officials, yet contact persons did all that was possible to share accurate and complete information. Information on studies and consultations conducted by private consultants was gathered by asking contact persons at relevant organisations and ministries if they had mandated firms or individuals to conduct studies or consultations. 4 ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY OF AVAILABLE STUDIES ON ELDERS IN NUNAVIK RESEARCH REPORT PRESENTED TO THE KATIVIK REGIONAL GOVERNMENT Furthermore, a half‐day meeting with the Research, Library and Archives as well as the Archaeology departments of the ACI was held, during which funds and catalogue

  • Do Resource Users Learn from Management Disasters? Indigenous Management and Social Learning in James Bay1
    Fikret Berkes Natural Resources Institute University of Manitoba Winnipeg, Manitoba R3T 2N2 Fax: (204) 261-0038 e-mail: [email protected] Stream: Aboriginal Territory and Management Rights Discipline: Natural Resources Do Resource Users Learn from Management Disasters? Indigenous Management and Social Learning in James Bay1 Practice is not always true to belief. Philosophers point out that "ethics bear a normative relation to behavior; they do not describe how people actually behave, but rather set out how people ought to behave" (Callicott 1982). For example, the Koyukon people of Alaska often violate their own rules on limiting harvests when they hunt caribou (Nelson 1982). Anyone who has worked with hunting peoples knows that rules of ethics are sometimes suspended. But one can say that about any culture or any group of people; there is always a gap between the ideal practice and the actual. The story of caribou is important in this regard. Cree elders in Chisasibi readily admit that they once overhunted the caribou. But the events that took place in the community in the mid-1980s indicate that the Cree hunters as a group learned from that experience. The caribou story illustrates how traditional beliefs play out in the real world, and how community-based systems can learn and evolve. It also illustrates the role that traditional stewards and elders play in providing leadership for collective decision-making. It shows why almost all traditional cultures consider elders so important. Elders provide corporate memory for the group, the wisdom to interpret events, and they help enforce the rules and ethical norms of the community.

  • Du Sable, Caniapiscau, and Koksoak Rivers
    Du Sable, Caniapiscau, and Koksoak Rivers Du Sable We were lucky to obtain an excellent 1980 trip report from Ed The Du Sable (also known as Sand River) is an important tributary Gertler before we embarked on our trip (Ed lists also Tim of the Caniapiscau River. The Du Sable has been at the heart of a Zecha's brother Terry as a trip participant). Thus, it seems to us geographical and toponymic confusion, both about its source and that ours was the first documented descent of the whole Du about its name. Contrary to the map of Mrs. Mina Adelaine Sable from its source. Benson Hubbard (1908) describing her George River expedition, the ninth report of the Commission on Geography of Canada Caniapiscau (James White, 1911) as well as maps of the province of Quebec The Caniapiscau River is a tributary of the Koksoak River. published by the Ministry of Lands and Forests in 1914 and 1935, Through history, the river was known under different spellings: the Du Sable does not originate at Sand Lake, although both the Kaniapiskau (Albert Peter Low, 1898), Canniappuscaw (William Du Sable and Sand Lake outflows do belong to the Caniapiscau Hendry, 1828) and Caniapuscaw (James Clouston, 1820).

  • New Bus Line Service Chisasibi – Val-D'or
    PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NEW BUS LINE SERVICE CHISASIBI – VAL-D’OR Chisasibi and Val-d’Or, Wednesday, 2016 June first - Chisasibi Business Development Group (CBDG) and Autobus Maheux are pleased to announce their new partnership which is for the establishment of a regular bus service in the territory of James Bay with routes to and from Chisasibi and Val-d’Or. This bus service will be offered twice a week and will serve the community of Chisasibi and all Cree communities of James Bay territory, with a bus stop at each intersection on the James Bay highway connecting each Cree community. The Cree population is growing and year after year the travel needs are becoming more important. The needs are related to health, education, and recreational purposes. This new bus service will provide the communities with a new option for their transport which will be regular, reliable, safe and affordable. FIRST DEPARTURE FROM VAL-D’OR: JUNE 8th, 2016 AT 8:00 AM FIRST DEPARTURE FROM CHISASIBI: JUNE 9th, 2016 AT 8:00 AM A need was expressed for many years The idea of setting up a transport bus service was initiated several years ago. Approximately 15 years ago, the five coastal communities had a meeting with Autobus Maheux to discuss the potential bus project. Furthermore, a feasibility study was conducted in 2009 without any real results for the establishment of the service. However, during the Economic Mission in September 2015 which was organized by the Secretariat to the Cree Nation Abitibi-Témiscamingue Economic Alliance, a meeting was held between CBDG and Autobus Maheux.
