Book excerpt: The hunt is co-managed by the Nunavut including northern Foxe Basin and Wildlife Management Board and the Canada Department of Fisheries and Oceans. [...] The Cosens and Blouw (1999) found that the species is currently listed as endangered by size range of females with calves in northern the Committee on the Status of Endangered Foxe Basin was similar to that in the Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC). [...] Between 1979 and 2 Central and Arctic Hudson Bay/Foxe Basin Bowheads 1996, there was no licensed hunt of Baffin Bay-Davis Strait whales consist of bowheads in the Hudson Bay-Foxe Basin one stock and to determine the relationship stock. [...] 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.

Download or read book A Little Less Arctic written by Steven H. Ferguson and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-05-30 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Arctic Canada, Hudson Bay is a site of great exploration history, aboriginal culture, and a vast marine wilderness supporting large populations of marine mammals and birds. These include some of the most iconic Arctic animals like beluga, narwhal, bowhead whales, and polar bears. Due to the challenges of conducting field research in this region, some of the mysteries of where these animals move, and how they are able to survive in such seemingly inhospitable, ice-choked habitats are just now being unlocked. For example, are polar bears being replaced by killer whales? This new information could not be more salient, as the Hudson Bay Region is undergoing rapid environmental change due to global warming, as well as increased pressures from industrial development interests. A Little Less Arctic brings together some of the world’s leading Arctic scientists to present the current state of knowledge on the physical and biological characteristics of Hudson Bay.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part exposé, part memoir, part reference manual for reconciling Indigenous and non-Indigenous rights in Canada, Do You Eat the Red Ones Last? takes the reader on one anthropologist’s journey through the turbulent waters of Canada’s contested lands and resources. Drawing on personal experiences and the wisdom of Indigenous elders and scholars, Marc G. Stevenson offers unique insights into how settler society has dismantled Indigenous knowledge and governance systems while expropriating their lands and resources. In particular, he explores the contentious spaces where the land-use rights and knowledge claims of the two cultures collide and examines why the promise of reconciliation remains so elusive. Lastly, he considers how we might transform our mindsets from that of colonial agents to that of post-colonial allies. In its forward-looking conclusion, Do You Eat the Red Ones Last? identifies some directions that might collectively take us on a more ethical and rewarding path to reparations and co-existence. As such, it joins a growing body of critical thought committed to generating real opportunity for reconciling Indigenous-settler rights in Canada.
