  • Tukitaaqtuq Explain to One Another, Reach Understanding, Receive Explanation from the Past and the Eskimo Identification Canada System
    Tukitaaqtuq explain to one another, reach understanding, receive explanation from the past and The Eskimo Identification Canada System by Norma Jean Mary Dunning A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Faculty of Native Studies University of Alberta ©Norma Jean Mary Dunning, 2014 ABSTRACT The government of Canada initiated, implemented, and officially maintained the ‘Eskimo Identification Canada’ system from 1941-1971. With the exception of the Labrador Inuit, who formed the Labrador Treaty of 1765 in what is now called, NunatuKavat, all other Canadian Inuit peoples were issued a leather-like necklace with a numbered fibre-cloth disk. These stringed identifiers attempted to replace Inuit names, tradition, individuality, and indigenous distinctiveness. This was the Canadian governments’ attempt to exert a form of state surveillance and its official authority, over its own Inuit citizenry. The Eskimo Identification Canada system, E- number, or disk system eventually became entrenched within Inuit society, and in time it became a form of identification amongst the Inuit themselves. What has never been examined by an Inuk researcher, or student is the long-lasting affect these numbered disks had upon the Inuit, and the continued impact into present-day, of this type of state-operated system. The Inuit voice has not been heard or examined. This research focuses exclusively on the disk system itself and brings forward the voices of four disk system survivors, giving voice to those who have been silenced for far too long. i PREFACE This thesis is an original work by Norma Dunning. The research project, of which this thesis is a part, received research ethics approval from the University of Alberta Research Ethics Board, Project Name: “Tukitaaqtuq (they reach understanding) and the Eskimo Identification Canada system,” PRO00039401, 05/07/2013.

  • Odobenus Rosmarus Rosmarus
    Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat Central and Arctic Region Approved Pre-Publication Science Response 2018/055 MITIGATION BUFFER ZONES FOR ATLANTIC WALRUS (ODOBENUS ROSMARUS ROSMARUS) IN THE NUNAVUT SETTLEMENT AREA Context The Nunavut Planning Commission (NPC) is responsible for developing, implementing and monitoring land use plans to guide and direct resource use and development in the Nunavut Settlement Area (NSA). The NPC, with input from government, Inuit organizations and other stakeholders, has been developing a Draft Nunavut Land Use Plan (Plan) that, when finalized, will apply to the entire NSA, with the exception of National Marine Conservation Areas and some parks and historic sites. The Plan will be the entry point for impact assessments and regulatory approval processes for proposed projects, both of industry and government. In accordance with the Nunavut Agreement, any vessel or aerial setbacks that may be included in an approved Plan would not restrict the Inuit right to subsistence land use or harvest of wildlife. To date, Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) has provided the NPC with some information on Atlantic walrus presence and sensitive walrus habitat in the NSA and Outer Land Fast Ice Zone. DFO has not provided information that might guide measures to avoid and/or mitigate disturbance of walrus and their important habitat from project activities, including shipping. Such information would inform land use planning designations and conditions of use for those areas and/or other mitigation measures outside of the land use plan. As a first step to providing this information, the Policy and Economics Branch, which leads departmental input into the draft Plan, has requested science advice to identify important walrus habitat and areas of aggregation in the NSA, including the Outer Land Fast Ice Zone; provide information about acceptable noise levels to walrus at haul-out sites and identify mitigation measures, including buffer zone recommendations, to minimize disturbance of walrus from ships, small watercraft and aircraft.

Until 2018 – a full eight years after its last report – the PBSG had disseminated information only on its website, updated (without announcement) at its discretion. In April 2018, the PBSG finally produced a standalone proceedings docu- ment from its 2016 meeting,2 although most people would have been unaware that this document existed unless they visited the PBSG website. This State of the Polar Bear Report is intended to pro- vide a yearly update of the kind of content available in those occasional PBSG meeting reports, albeit with more critical commentary regarding some of the inconsistencies and sources of bias present in the corpus of reports and papers.

The CRHP is a national, searchable, online database of historic places formally recognized by federal, provincial, territorial and local governments. Since the official launch of the CRHP in May 2004, federal, provincial and territorial registrars have been nominating formally recognized historic places from their respective jurisdictions to the CRHP. A key element in the required documentation for listing on the CRHP is a Statement of Significance (SOS).
