The Territorial North is a homeland for many aboriginal people. It is huge, sparsely populated, and Canada's last resource frontier. Also, it is represented by the three Canadian territories; Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut. This includes both the subarctic and arctic sub-regions as well as remains a resource frontier far from the Canadian ecumene. Economic structure in the Territorial North is more likely for private investment in its primary industries and transfer payment for its…

Leaving home and having to adapt to survive in a new area, under new and different circumstances than ever before requires perseverance and adaption. In The Call of The Wild Buck had to leave his peaceful life at home. He had to alter his way of life to survive in the new life he was sold into. He was responsible for leading a sled team of dogs across the Yukon Territory. However, my father had to lead a large group of soldiers across the desert of Iraq. In contrast, my father also had to leave…

First Nations people in Canada comprised the different cultures the six geographical groups. The differences occurred in spiritual beliefs, food resources, and social organization. The first group, the woodlands first nations comprised of independent groups who possessed great courage and skills for hunting. The Iroquoians were excellent farmers and had permanent settlements that enabled them to have democratic systems of government. The Huron-Wendat based their leadership on councils that made…

“Happy People: A Year in the Taiga” is yet another example of the misconceptions that are held about a ‘romantic’ Arctic. Though some may argue that the documentary is used more as a teaching tool for those who don’t live in the Arctic, this is not the case because, there are various inaccuracies within the narration of the movie, the soundtrack that plays at various times throughout the documentary is inappropriate as it adds an exotic and romantic feeling towards the Arctic that is ultimately…

All three of these tribes live in Canada. The Inuit live northern Canada, the Haida live on the west coast of British Columbia, and the Iroquois live in southwest/southern Ontario and Quebec. All three of these tribes have elders to lead them. The Inuit elders pass on knowledge to younger Inuit, the Haida elders are…

to see who should have sovereignty. With a culture and history that started long before Europeans even set sail for the New World, the Inuit were the First Nations people of the Arctic. They had mastered transportation through sleds and canoes and created the first maps of Canadian coastline by carving the general outline into wooden pieces (M.R. Freeman).The Inuit Peoples covered, and still continue to cover, the far northern coasts of Alaska, Canada, and Greenland. The fact that these people…

quite some time to become popular in the Inuit culture. There may be several reasons for this, primarily, European trading groups had a little initial interest in trading with the Inuit people due to the harsh Arctic conditions. From the Inuit perspective, there was also little incentive to establish trading relationships until such time as European trade items could become steadily available. It would have been counterproductive to interrupt the inter-Inuit trading meetings, which required…

Since I began studying the Hadza group it opened up my mind to so many things. I have seen indigenous tribes on television showing us how they live their lives. The things I envy most about them is how freely they live. Free from the responsibilities that we worry about on a daily basis like responsibilities, bills, work, money, I mean the list is endless. They live their lives with no apologies and I admire them for that purpose. Some may agree the way they live their life is like one camping…

2.1: Why did hunter-gatherer societies switch to sedentary agriculture? The transition of hunter-gathering groups to sedentary agriculture initially began due to the simplicity behind agriculture and animal husbandry. The process of growing crops proved to be a much more reliable method of obtaining food than foraging. Similarly, the domestication of certain animal species provided a wealth of byproducts in addition to the meat obtained by slaughtering the animal. I agree with Robbins that many…
