reproduce. A similar migration cycle of sport fishing tourism each year travels to the Kenai peninsula, bringing in millions of dollars to the local economy. Each fisherman arrives to the beautiful area with the hopes of landing a King. In native Inuit culture the Chinook Salmon has always been the King of the many rivers that penetrate Alaska’s large land mass – earning its nickname. Renowned for their immense size, difficulty to catch, and delicious meat, it has always been clear that this…

1. Forest Grove in Saskatoon is an area that has not had much focus on their community’s personal and local health. I have been living here since September and I get the impression that people keep to themselves more than necessary since we do not have any substantial community centers or local community events to bring people together. This atmosphere may affect a person’s personal health because of the potential for people to be isolated in their own homes, not feeling welcomed by their…

Settlement: Birth of a Nation A conglomeration of celebrated and contemptible events has laid the foundation of America. Among these events were people who acted as a catalyst in creating a blossoming nation. Christopher Columbus is arguably the most well known explorer; he is credited with his many voyages to the New World and is incorrectly believed to be the first person to have discovered North America. This paper will discuss how three other explorers, John Cabot, Amerigo Vespucci, and…

Chinese immigrants had always been unwelcome to Canada for more than 150 years. The first Chinese settlers came to Canada in 1858 to pan for gold in British Columbia. In 1885, as the flow of Chinese immigrants started increasing, the Canadian government started charging them a fee to live in Canada called head tax. The first anti-Chinese rule was a fifty dollar head tax on every Chinese person entering Canada. The conditions were far worse in China so people preferred to immigrate and pay the…

nation-state - Nation-states play a large role in American history, and are vital to the existence of the United States. A nation-state is the joining of one or many nationalities to create a formal political union, just like the (now) fifty United States of America. If the colonies were not able to unite as one in the beginning, the United States might not exist today, but instead be a continent full of many small countries like Europe. The melting-pot culture that the United States is known…

For centuries the Arctic Ocean has been famed for its inaccessibility, but with unprecedented ice retreats in recent years as a result of global warming, the Arctic Ocean is becoming rapidly accessible. This means new possibilities for the Arctic countries in terms of trade, travel, and access resources. These recent changes in the topography have led many to portray the Arctic as a geopolitical race for natural resources and territory, with Russia seen as the main aggressor. Russia is depicted…

1.0 – Introduction According to Bloomsbury International (2014), “Approximately one new word is added to the English language every two hours and around four thousand new words are added to the English dictionary every year.” Language is a way for people to communicate with those around them, sharing notions and conventions of those from the same cultural backgrounds and spreading this so others can learn (Corder, 2013). The way language is communicated varies depending on the environment and…

We see that they don't don't talk much about their actions. Luxury brands don't talk much about their attempts and this an inuit characteristic to be restrained. It builds and maintains this image of theirs of independence and admiration. By avoiding to provide much information about themselves, they seek to create the dream life that they are selling. Besides performing and…

INTRODUCTION What exactly are residential schools? And how did they impact Indigenous children and their families? This essay will attempt to answer this question by exploring the historical context and the consequences of residential schools in Canada. For more than a century, Indigenous children were forcibly taken away from their homes and families, stripped away from their culture, and forced to attend a boarding school far away from their communities. These residential schools were…

As the Vikings expanded to Greenland and territories further west, like Vinland and L'Anse, they became aware of a native people in the area. Archeologists theorize these people were either the early Eskimos or Thule Inuits, who were a nomadic group that travelled throughout the Arctic Circle in search of whales for food; therefore, they were well adapted to the harsh Arctic climate (Berman). Erik the Red found evidence of a native group on his first expedition to Greenland…
