Book excerpt: Nunavut is a land of islands, encompassing some of the most remote places on Earth. It is also home to some of the world’s most fascinating bird species. The windswept tundra, rocky shorelines, and icy waters of this thinly populated land are integral to the survival of numerous breeding and non-breeding birds, including the colourful King Eider, the stately Snowy Owl, the spritely Snow Bunting, and the globe-spanning Northern Wheatear. Birds of Nunavut is the first complete survey of every species known to occur in the territory. It is co-written by a team of eighteen experts who have conducted a combined total of 300 seasons of fieldwork in Nunavut. They document 295 species of birds (of which 145 are known to breed in the territory), presenting a wealth of information on identification, distribution, ecology, behaviour, and conservation. Lavishly illustrated with over 800 colour photographs and 155 maps, it is a visually stunning reference work on the birds that live in and visit Nunavut.

Download or read book Food Security Climate Change and the Zooarchaeology of Neo Inuit Sea mammal Hunting Norhtwest Foxe Basin Nunavut written by Sean Desjardins and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Food security has long been an issue of existential importance to Neo-Inuit (ca. AD 1200-present) of the Canadian Arctic and Greenland. Prior to regular trade with Europeans and Euro-Canadians, the entirety of the Neo-Inuit diet consisted of animal resources, especially sea-mammals. In this dissertation, I present the findings of archaeological research conducted at Pingiqqalik (NgHd-1), a large Neo-Inuit winter site consisting of 119 semisubterranean sod houses. Radiocarbon dates from the site's three house groups ("site areas") show each is associated with a discrete occupation; successive occupations likely experienced the gradual cooling--and associated increased sea-ice--of the Little Ice Age (LIA), a roughly 600-year period of volcanically-influenced lowered temperatures across the North Atlantic (and possibly other regions as well), beginning around AD 1300. Zooarchaeological analyses across the three site areas of Pingiqqalik show increasing reliance on walruses over time, but also a greater taxonomic evenness across all occupations than is seen in any other Neo-Inuit faunal assemblage in the Canadian Arctic. Additionally, oral-historical and ethnohistorical accounts indicate recent-historic Inuit at the site occupied sod winter houses long after this feature type had been abandoned by Inuit in many other parts of the Arctic. This information strongly indicates animal resources in northwest Foxe Basin remained stable throughout the LIA, and that the relative abundance of prey--particularly walruses, small seals and bearded seals--allowed area residents to store sea-mammal resources in gravel caches for use during harsh winter months. In turn, increased food security facilitated 1) larger populations, as indicated by the large number of house features at the site, and 2) reduced residential mobility, reflected in the winter-long occupation of area sod houses well into the 20th century. The descendants of these hunting populations--the Amitturmiut people of the modern communities Igloolik and Hall Beach--continue to regularly hunt walruses and cache walrus resources for winter consumption. As the effects of recent anthropogenic climate change may soon begin to be felt in the relatively sheltered Foxe Basin ecosystem, examining early responses to changing temperatures in the region may help inform future responses to changes in the resource base." --
Download or read book A Place called Nunavut written by Kim van Dam and published by Barkhuis. This book was released on 2008-12-31 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1999, Nunavut Territory was created in the Canadian Arctic. The area is about 50 times as large as the Netherlands, and is inhabited by a population of 30,000. 85% of the population is Inuit, the indigenous people in this area. The central questions in this research project are what place or regional identities are being ascribed to Nunavut by different groups of people from within and from outside the region, and how do these identities work? In the process of the formation of the region, the territorial Government of Nunavut is an important actor in producing a regional identity that is based on the cultural identity of the Inuit: the Inuit Homeland. This 'official' regional identity creates a symbolic unity that is important in linking people to the region, and through which the land, the history and the people are united in a new territorial membership. However, there is no reason to assume that there is only one regional identity for Nunavut. Different individuals or groups of people from within and from outside the region, such as the people who live in one of the 25 communities and those who work for the multinational mining corporations or as tourist operators, are also involved in the production and reproduction of identities for Nunavut. They represent Nunavut for example as a place to live, a resource region, a wilderness or as a sustainable place. Nunavut Government also links these alternative identities to the area, because as a government they are not only interested in protecting Inuit culture but also aim to modernize the economy in order to enhance prosperity and well-being. As such the place identities are hybrid, and identities that before were produced only by external actors are now also being produced by internal actors, and vice versa.

Book excerpt: The Nunavut story told in this book by authors who have all been involved with Nunavut and Inuit politics for a very long time is an important one for indigenous peoples around the world - and for anyone interested in indigenous issues. Stressing the political dynamics of the beginning of Nunavut's autonomous life, the authors provide a clear and accurate account of a remarkable political process. Following an introductory focus on three fundamental questions: Why did Nunavut come to life, what are the challenges and opportunities to come, and what is to be learned from this experience? - the book continues with an investigation of Nunavut, its history and structure and the most recent developments and their impact on the people of Nunavut.

[...] If Cumberland Sound whales Foxe Basin and those around Repulse Bay are representative of the Baffin Bay-Davis belong to the same population and that these Strait population, then Hudson Bay-Foxe estimates could be added, giving a total Basin bowheads and Baffin Bay-Davis Strait estimate of about 345 bowheads in the stock. [...] This, in combination with the Aerial surveys have not sampled the conclusions of the Inuit Bowhead complete summering range of this stock and Knowledge Study, suggests that the stock underestimate total stock size.

This book was released on 1910 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first study of the behaviour and habitat preferences of bowhead whales ('Balaena mysticetus') in northern Foxe Basin, Nunavut, Canada. The study is divided into two parts; the first part examined the characteristics of bowhead habitat and the second part describes the behaviour of bowheads during the ice-edge season. Characteristics of bowhead habitat were identified by quantifying relationships between habitat variables (water depth, surface temperatures, ice conditions, and zooplankton densities) and the distribution of whales recorded during strip-transect surveys through a 4 x 4 km quadrat system, in July and August 1997. Two study areas were examined: "A" was examined in July (ice-edge season), when land-fast ice was present on the northern edge of the study area and "B" was examined in August (open-water season), when pack ice is present. Relationships between habitat variables and whale distribution were identified with Mantel tests. The second part of the study examined the behavior of bowheads during the ice-edge.
