This book was released on 1998 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Under the terms of the Inuvialuit Final Agreement (IFA), the Inuvialuit Land Administration (ILA) is mandated with managing lands and surface resources (including granular material) on Inuvialuit-owned lands of the Inuvialuit Settlement Region (ISR). The Government of Canada has been supporting work to facilitate development of a formal granular resource management plan to assist the ILA through Task 7 - Sand and Gravel Inventories of the IFA Implementation Program (IFAIP). Recent work identified and collected data based on consultations with ISR land management staff (ILA), associated planning offices (Inuvialuit Joint Secretariat (JS)) and other government offices, including Northern Granular Resources Program and, Resources (DIAND), Wildlife and Economic Development (Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development (RWED), Government of the Northwest Territories (GNWT). As a result, data sets were listed and described in a data model referred to as the Granular Resource Management Model (GRMM). Geographic Information Systems (GIS), properly implemented, can be a powerful tool in resource management. Some examples of how GIS can be used include: determining resource potential and economic viability, predicting future resource pressures, and demonstrating constraining affects of specific factors on resource availability. Integrated resource management utilizes a wide spectrum of data sets to ensure viable resource management through sustainable stewardship of the resource. A number of geo-spatial data sets are presented here in order to orientate users and parties interested in the availability of spatial data for northwestern Canada and in particular the ISR. Quality spatial data is critical in GIS implementation. More than simply having access to data, the continued implementation of various data sets requires sufficient information about the data. Development of metadata, which is information about data or GIS layers using various categories (e.g., text description, citation information, date published), can fulfill this requirement plus provide a standard format to collect this information. Ever greater numbers of spatial data sets are being developed and much of it is available inexpensively (especially over the internet) through government and private offices. Knowledge of these data and sources of data will facilitate the development of the ILA's GIS. ... This report presents a GIS database built upon the former GRMM. In addition, a metadata table structure has been developed and records on each database theme are included (Appendix 1). These results stem from various data investigations that included government and commercial sources often with the use of the internet. This work was completed for DIAND under Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) Contract no. A7134-7-0016. R.J. Gowan of DIAND was the Scientific Authority for the project. Examples of new data sets are: bedrock and surficial geology, detailed ecosystems, high resolution (1:250,000 scale) topography, low resolution (1:7.5 million and smaller scale) topography, and other raster data (e.g., Landsat TM enhanced to show outcrops, lowland areas). Other themes are considered as less important but potentially useful such as elevation/shaded relief imagery."--ASTIS [online] bibliography.
Download or read book Granular Resources Forecast Model User s Guide written by James C. McDougall and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In March 1993, Supply & Services Canada awarded a contract to NORTH OF 60 ENGINEERING LTD. to develop a computer model to forecast granular requirements. The model would be used by bothIndian and Northern Affairs Canada and the Inuvialuit Land Administration. The model would provide benefits beyond simplifying the forecasting process - more frequent and accurate forecasting of granular demands, a better understanding of potential impact that the demand may have on the resource and supporting infrastructure, the ability to forecast potential business opportunities and, ultimately, better management of the resource. In March 1996, Supply & Services Canada awarded a follow-up contract to NORTH OF 60 ENGINEERING LTD. to update the model and to enhance its capabilities to estimate granular usage associated with potential mining development within the Northwest Territories. This user's guide documents Version 2 of the Granular Resource Forecast Model developed by NORTH OF 60 ENGINEERING LTD., its underlying basis, and procedures and tips on how to use the tool in an effective and accurate manner. The primary objective of the initial project was to develop a tool that will allow DIAND and the Inuvialuit Land Administration to forecast granular resource requirements in the Western Arctic Region. Some of the specific goals of the project were that the model: provide a simple user interface, operate under existing platforms (such as Microsoft Excel), provide a capability for sensitivity analysis, generate the necessary reports, and provide flexibility to modify correlations based on historical data. Generally speaking, these goals were achieved. Based on discussions with potential users within DIAND and the ILA, it appeared both organizations would benefit from a model that not only forecast future requirements, but tracked current and historical usage. The broad framework for the model is shown in Figure 1. As identified above, the model can focus on the past, present, and future. It draws this information from one central data base that will contain information pertinent to granular resource usage. The intent in following this approach was to provide a tool that would help the various groups forecast granular resource usage, as was the intent of the project, plus help in the management of current granular usage. The primary objective of the current project was to upgrade the model to operate within the recent releases of Microsoft Excel, and to enhance the granular estimating capabilities of the model to include potential mining developments within the NW. These specific goals have been met" -- ASTIS [online] database.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scholars have long known that world music was not merely the globalized product of modern media, but rather that it connected religions, cultures, languages and nations throughout world history. The chapters in this History take readers to foundational historical moments – in Europe, Oceania, China, India, the Muslim world, North and South America – in search of the connections provided by a truly world music. Historically, world music emerged from ritual and religion, labor and life-cycles, which occupy chapters on Native American musicians, religious practices in India and Indonesia, and nationalism in Argentina and Portugal. The contributors critically examine music in cultural encounter and conflict, and as the critical core of scientific theories from the Arabic Middle Ages through the Enlightenment to postmodernism. Overall, the book contains the histories of the music of diverse cultures, which increasingly become the folk, popular and classical music of our own era.

Download or read book Archival Returns written by Linda Barwick and published by . This book was released on 2020-02-03 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Place-based cultural knowledge - of ceremonies, songs, stories, language, kinship and ecology - binds Australian Indigenous societies together. Over the last 100 years or so, records of this knowledge in many different formats - audiocassettes, photographs, films, written texts, maps, and digital recordings - have been accumulating at an ever-increasing rate. Yet this extensive documentary heritage is dispersed. In many cases, the Indigenous people who participated in the creation of the records, or their descendants, have little idea of where to find the records or how to access them. Some records are held precariously in ad hoc collections, and their caretakers may be perplexed as to how to ensure that they are looked after. Archival Returns: Central Australia and Beyond explores the strategies and practices by which cultural heritage materials can be returned to their communities of origin, and the issues this process raises for communities, as well as for museums, galleries, and other cultural institutions.
Download or read book Archaeologies of the Heart written by Kisha Supernant and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-02-13 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Archaeological practice is currently shifting in response to feminist, indigenous, activist, community-based, and anarchic critiques of how archaeology is practiced and how science is used to interpret the past lives of people. Inspired by the calls for a different way of doing archaeology, this volume presents a case here for a heart-centered archaeological practice. Heart-centered practice emerged in care-based disciplines, such as nursing and various forms of therapy, as a way to recognize the importance of caring for those on whom we work, and as an avenue to explore how our interactions with others impacts our own emotions and heart. Archaeologists are disciplined to separate mind and heart, a division which harkens back to the origins of western thought. The dualism between the mental and the physical is fundamental to the concept that humans can objectively study the world without being immersed in it. Scientific approaches to understanding the world assume there is an objective world to be studied and that humans must remove themselves from that world in order to find the truth. An archaeology of the heart rejects this dualism; rather, we see mind, body, heart, and spirit as inextricable. An archaeology of the heart provides a new space for thinking through an integrated, responsible, and grounded archaeology, where there is care for the living and the dead, acknowledges the need to build responsible relationships with communities, and with the archaeological record, and emphasize the role of rigor in how work and research is conducted. The contributions bring together archaeological practitioners from across the globe in different contexts to explore how heart-centered practice can impact archaeological theory, methodology, and research throughout the discipline.
