Material: Abstract: The papers of Nancy Papish document her involvement with Clearwater, North River Friends of Clearwater (NRFC), and the campaign to stop Hydro-Quebec's development plan for James Bay. These papers document the environmental activism of Nancy Papish from the 1970s through the 1990s. Included are meeting minutes, notes, mailings, press releases, news clippings, magazine articles, programs, and publications. The Clearwater files contain near-complete runs of newsletters produced by both NRFC and the parent Clearwater organization. Evidence of NRFC's outreach activities is found in a slide show titled "This Is Clearwater" and numerous poster displays. Documentation of Clearwater's organization and administration, such as meeting minutes, internal reports, and committee files, are almost entirely absent. There is little information about the membership of Clearwater. The James Bay files contain materials from several organizations.

Grenander Department of Special Collections and Archives, University Libraries, University at Albany, State University of New York (hereafter referred to as the Papish Papers). ^ Return to Table of Contents - Page 3- Papish, Nancy; Papers apap144 Biographical Sketch Nancy Papish, a resident of Schenectady, New York, became involved with environmental activism at a local and regional level in the 1970s. Papish's papers document her involvement with Clearwater, North River Friends of Clearwater (NRFC), and the campaign to stop Hydro-Quebec's development plan for James Bay in northern Quebec. Clearwater refers to both a boat and an environmental organization of more than 10,000 members. Clearwater's history dates to the late 1960s when folk singer and activist Pete Seeger became interested in building a recreation of the sloops that traveled the Hudson River in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The Hudson River Sloop Restoration (HRSR) was the precursor organization, which eventually became Hudson River Sloop Clearwater (HRSC). Its original goal was simply to build the sloop that Seeger envisioned. However, most HRSR members also shared an interest in cleaning up the polluted Hudson River. They decided to use the boat as a "floating classroom", raising public awareness about the need to protect the Hudson by conducting educational sails on the river. The Hudson River Sloop Clearwater launched in 1969. Today, more than 12,000 people sail on the Clearwater each year. The crew is comprised of paid staff and Clearwater member volunteers. The organization's efforts expanded over the years to include advocating for green space along the river's banks as well as upkeep of the river itself. Clearwater is also well-known for its annual Great Hudson River Revival, a festival of music, arts, and environmental education. [Hudson River Sloop Clearwater, Inc. (undated) "About Clearwater". Accessed 27 January 2005, http://www.clearwater.org/about.html]. Founded in the early 1970s, the North River Friends of Clearwater is a sloop club based in the Capital District. Sloop clubs are local organizations that support Clearwater's mission through activities like fundraising and public relations. NRFC, which has an office in downtown Albany, holds monthly meetings regarding sloop issues and works with other local environmental organizations such as the Sierra Club, Save the Pinebush, and the Adirondack Mountain Club on issues of mutual concern. [Hudson River Sloop Clearwater, Inc. (undated) "Clearwater Sloop Clubs". Accessed 27 January 2005, http://www.clearwater.org/clubs.html]. Nancy Papish served on numerous committees for the NRFC and played a significant role in coordinating efforts between the Capital Region sloop club and the HRSC parent organization. As an early member of the group, she narrated a slide show that educated the public about Clearwater's mission and was even chosen as a volunteer crew member aboard the sloop in 1978. She brought a wealth of educational skills to Clearwater's activities since her background included three-four years teaching high school English, teaching an undergraduate education class at SUNY Albany, and multiple years working with the National Teacher Corps Project. Papish's recreational skills ran the gamut from canoeing, to sailing, to nautical arts like knot-tying, which made her a valuable addition to Clearwater's efforts. [Nancy Papish Papers. Series 1, Box 2, Folder 8. M.E. Grenander Department of Special Collections and Archives, University Libraries, University at Albany, State University of New York]. NRFC was one of many organizations that participated in a grassroots campaign to stop Hydro-Quebec's proposed James Bay II project in the early 1990s. New York State contracted with Hydro-Quebec to purchase electric power through 2018. Hydro-Quebec planned to build several dams in the subarctic - Page 4- Papish, Nancy; Papers apap144 James Bay region of Quebec. This enraged environmental and human rights activists, who argued that the dams would destroy an ecosystem on which native Cree and Inuit communities depended. In 1994, the New York Power Authority canceled its final contract with Hydro-Quebec. May 2009 brought double reasons for celebration as the HRSC family commemorated the sloop's fortieth anniversary and Pete Seeger's ninetieth birthday. Both the sloop and the man responsible for her existence were honored in a concert at Madison Square Garden on May 3, 2009, complete with performers from Dar Williams to Joan Baez. [Art Beat. (30 July 2009). "Pete Seeger's 90th Birthday Blowout on PBS". Accessed 16 Oct. 2009, http://www.pbs.org/newshour/art/blog/2009/07/pete- seegers-90th-birthday-blowout-on-pbs.html]. The Clearwater's trip up the Hudson River to Albany that spring added to the festive atmosphere as she led a flotilla of boats in honor of Henry Hudson's 1609 exploration. HRSC is also making strides in a new program called the Next Generation Legacy Project, which focuses on green jobs in a green economy for the 21st century. The project will advance in three phases, the first of which began in spring 2009 with the opening of the Clearwater Center for Environmental leadership in Beacon, NY. The ultimate goal is to open eight green cities/green jobs satellite centers in environmental leadership. These will be located all along the Hudson River and will teach children and young adults about renewable resources and a sustainable environment. [Hudson River Sloop Clearwater, Inc. (10 Feb. 2009).

Houck* Abstract: In the late twentieth century, environmental policy swept the world, and among its primary instruments were processes for evaluating the adverse impacts of proposed actions. In all countries these processes quickly came into conºict with established bureaucracies, none more powerful and resistant to change than those in charge of water resources development. They also conºicted, in many cases, with established ideas of governance, right down to principles of federalism, judicial review, and the separation of powers. So it was in Canada, where in the late l980s three water resources development schemes, each one more enormous, initiated the commonwealth’s approach to environmental impact assess- ment and challenged the ability of the national government to protect environmental values at all.

  • Power from the North: the Energized Trajectory of Indigenous Sovereignty Movements
    Power From the North: The Energized Trajectory of Indigenous Sovereignty Movements Shirley Roburn McGill University ABSTRACT Background In the face of proposed energy megaprojects, First Nations and Inuit in Canada have organized locally, regionally, nationally, and internationally to articulate visions for their territories, which are anchored in self-determination, cultural resurgence, and harmo - nious relationships between human communities, non-human ones, and the land that sus - tains all beings. Analysis This article explores such articulations in response to three specific proposed energy projects: the Mackenzie Valley pipeline, the Great Whale hydroelectric project, and present- day efforts to bring tar sand oil and liquid natural gas (LNG) to tidewater in Northern British Columbia. Conclusions and implications Indigenous nations have worked creatively and consistently to inflect decision-making concerning both the energy infrastructure, and the forms of gover - nance that support it. Keywords Berger Inquiry; Great Whale; Northern Gateway; Indigenous Legal Orders; Hydroelectricity; James Bay Project RÉSUMÉ Contexte Face aux propositions de mégaprojets énergétiques, les Premières Nations et Inuits du Canada se sont organisés localement, régionalement, nationalement et internationalement pour articuler des visions de leurs territoires ancrées dans l'autodétermination, la résurgence culturelle et les relations harmonieuses entre les communautés humaines les non-humains et la terre qui soutient tous les êtres. Analyse Inspiré par des recherches sur les ordres juridiques autochtones, cet article explore ces articulations en réponse à trois projets énergétiques précis: le projet d’olèoduc Mackenzie Valley des années 1970, le projet hydroélectrique Grande Baleine proposé pour le nord du Québec à la fin des années 1980; des efforts pour acheminer l'huile de sables bitumineux et le gaz naturel liquéfié (GNL) vers les côtes du nord de la Colombie-Britannique.

  • Wathahine - Photographs of Aboriginal Women by Nance Ackerman
    Wathahine - Photographs of Aboriginal Women by Nance Ackerman The complete texts of the exhibition presented at the McCord Museum from Mars 10, 2010 to May 15, 2011. Introduction Nance Ackerman made a journey that took her across Canada from Labrador to Vancouver, from the Arctic to Kanehsatà:ke. It was a journey that put her between two identities – her life in the non – Aboriginal world and her First Nations heritage. Nance photographed women of strength and determination – Elders, artists, teachers and activists who fought to improve their own lives and those of their families and communities. She also produced an exploratory film that examines fundamental principles of Aboriginal spirituality: dreams, womanhood, sacred thoughts and wisdom. Through imagery, the exhibition explores the contemporary realities of Aboriginal people. Rose Gregoire (1948-2007) with her sister Tshaukuish (elizabeTh) Penashue Innu social workers Sheshatshiu, Labrador 1991 Rose Gregoire and her sister Tshaukuish Penashue were leaders in the fight against military’s practice of carrying out low-level test flights with jet bombers over traditional Innu hunting territory in Labrador. Tshaukuish has since organized a woman’s shelter in Sheshatshiu and continues to fight for the rights and protection of the environment. Unuishtam (Theresa) Rich (d. 1997) Innu traditionalist Sheshatshiu, Labrador 1993 Unuishtam Rich started a programme to teach the teenagers of Sheshatshiu how to hunt, cook and sew out on the land. Rita Joe (1932-2007) Mi’kmaq poet Eskasoni, Nova Scotia 1991 Often referred to as the “poet laureate” of the Mi’kmaq nation, Rita Joe’s poetry was inspired by everyday life on the Eskasoni reserve on Cape Breton Island, from the domestic to the spiritual, capturing both the anguish and elation of life.

  • Hunting for Ourselves: Behaviour and the Pursuit of Ecological Good
    Hunting For Ourselves: Behaviour and the Pursuit of Ecological Good In contemporary landscape and design discourse, hunter culture is often rejected as an idealized past. The anthropocene looks toward landscape infra- structures and machines as a way to mitigate the ecological impacts of human behaviours. Considering the disconnect between southern cities and the resources that fuel them, Cree hunter culture offers lessons on forging relation- ships between environments and humans in the pursuit of ecologically good design. A combination of geographically specific research in subarctic Eastern James Bay Cree territory, the hydro-electric capital of Canada, is combined with larger questions of ethics and attitudes. This paper first mines issues of Cree land and stewardship values, and second proposes a set of ethical considerations for the empathic architect. AMRIT KAUR PHULL George peers at me through his timeworn skin as if he is a ventifact, the Arctic University of Waterloo wind having, over years, carved his face with a motif of creases and crow’s-feet. We talk about the RCMP’s massacre of sled dogs and Afroman’s Because I Got High. We talk about how to navigate through fog using only the waves that strike against your canoe. Inside his winter cabin, his stories frost my skin—they are as true as ice. The seekers, the pilgrims, the explorers. These are the Euro–North American heroes, the archetypes whose combined spiritual malaise is celebrated in our cul- ture for collectively moving the human spirit forward. The glorified protagonists in these epics are driven by the belief that there are lessons ‘out there’ that can- not be found ‘in here’.
