The art of Inuit administration
In this paper, we expand on existing studies of Canadian Inuit art in the international arena by examining ways in which this new art served domestic purposes, focusing primarily on the 1950s and 1960s. The Canadian government developed and promoted Inuit art as part of its project to transform Inuit from semi-independent hunters into modern Canadian citizens. In this effort, Canada took up and assimilated Inuit art as a genuine Canadian cultural…

I Don't Want My Town Turned Into a Spectacle
The former silver mining town of Cobalt, Ontario (pop. 1,128), has four history museums. The museums, created at different times and by different constituencies, reflect citizens' ongoing efforts to revive the town and imagine its urban future. Over the past 50 years, residents have also engaged in multiple attempts to establish the town as a mining heritage tourism destination and/or to reestablish mining. Although the museums are implicated in …
The Ghosts of Mining Past
Ethnographic reports of ghosts, spirits, and other nonhuman agents are portrayed as very different entities depending upon whether the people perceiving them are recognized as indigenous or nonindigenous. The nonhuman agents apprehended by indigenous peoples are nearly always described as ontological, while ethnographers tend to treat ghosts and other spirits among nonindigenous peoples as a form of protest. Using ethnographic data from the forme…
Jean L. Briggs (1929–2016)
She was eighty-seven.Jean Briggs, widely recognized for her work in psychological anthropology, brought the study of emotions into the discipline.The intimate and reflexive ethnography of Inuit family life that characterized her first book, Never in Anger (1970), helped lay the foundation for the interpretive turn in ethnographic writing.Jean was born in Washington, DC, and spent her childhood in northern New

Asserting historical “distinctiveness” in industrial waterfront transformation
Finding Dahshaa
Historical limits
Place branding in heritage tourism development is presented as a strategy that opens up new possibilities for attracting investors and visitors by distilling, capturing and shaping what is distinctive about a place. This representational fix is an efficient marketing device in the sense that it represents places through widely intelligible symbols. Branding is also a limiting activity that locks places in time and class relations. While place bra…
The proposal economy
Using the case of Cobalt, a former silver mining town in Northern Ontario, Canada, we trace the transition from social funding as a feature of the welfare state to social funding based on application, adjudication and award. We identify a process in the community development arena, whereby local governments, community organizations and community members are increasingly enmeshed in the bureaucratic and socially disengaging processes of proposal-w…

Hunting for Hydrocarbons
Energy production is, without doubt, a subject of enormous economic importance and interest in North America. Consequently, energy topics are widely reported in American and Canadian news media. This article provides a comparison and analysis of Canadian and American newspaper reporting about one North American energy megaproject: the proposed Mackenzie Gas Project. The central feature of this project, if it goes ahead, will be a 1,220 kilometer …
Places for People to Die
Wage Labor, Housing Policy, and the Nucleation of Inuit Households
Public policy practices in the Canadian North, particularly those connected to housing and employment, are encouraging a reorganization of Inuit social organization to more closely resemble the insular and independent nuclear family household idealized by Eurocanadians. This has wide-ranging implications for the social stability of northern communities without sufficient employment opportunities. The paper examines the symbolic and structural eff…

Ce qui est bien est beau
En inuttitut, la langue inuit, le concept de « beauté » peut être traduit grossièrement par « bonté ». On souligne plus les qualités morales que l'esthétique visuelle. Sémantiquement, ce qui est beau est ce qui convient, qu'il s'agisse d'apparence, d'activités ou de relations sociales : pour l'homme, c'est être un bon chasseur et un bon mari ; pour la femme, une bonne mère et une bonne épouse ; pour la terre, de produire en abondance. La beauté e…
Learning to Be Smart
The understanding of intelligence and cognitive functioning of culturally diverse peoples has long been an interest of social scientists. It has also long been recognized that environmental factors and cultural values affect both perceptual abilities and the display of cognitive functioning. While some scholars have proposed the existence of multiple forms of intelligence, others have argued that the assessment of intelligence requires the applic…

The Nature of Urban Heritage
Historic waterfronts are iconic sites of urban change, and the redevelopment of urban waterfronts - from sites of industrial work and commerce to post-industrial places of residence, retail and recreation - is a global phenomenon. Official discourses about such places are intimately related to the changes in physical land use, in material practices and in the production of publics. Using ethnographic research conducted in the post-industrial wate…
