“Where ladies are so scarce we have to muster in full”: Sophie Porter’s Account of Over–Wintering at Herschel Island, 1894-1895
Sophie E. Porter’s account offers colourful insights into the life of the whaling community over–wintering at Herschel Island (Qikiqtaruk) in the mid–1890s. Porter lived on board the whaling ship Jesse H. Freeman in the winterized quarters prepared for her husband, but her full social schedule meant that the ship did not keep her captive. The excerpts transcribed, reproduced, and introduced in this commentary span the period from 19 August 1894 (…
“This was not the time for this type of 1890 imperialism”: Cryolite, Control, and Canada-US Relations over Greenland, 1940
This article is drawn from the unpublished second volume of Gordon Smith’s magnum opus, A Historical and Legal Study of Sovereignty in the Canadian North and Related Law of the Sea Problems. Edited and introduced by P. Whitney Lackenbauer, this article explores Canada-United States relations over Greenland in 1940, particularly whether Canada or the United States would secure de facto control over Greenland and its unique supply of cryolite, esse…
Canada’s and Russia’s Security and Defence Strategies in the Arctic: A Comparative Analysis
This comparative article reveals how the general focus of Canadian and Russian threat perceptions in the Arctic have shifted from a Cold War fixation on hard defence to accommodate soft security issues over the last three decades. Both countries now pay greater attention to threats and challenges stemming from climate change, security, and safety risks associated with resource development and increasingly accessible sea routes. Although concern a…

Opening an Arctic Escape Route: The Bellot Strait Expedition
During the second half of the 1950s, Canadian and American vessels surged into the North American Arctic to establish military installations and to chart northern waters. This article narrates the expeditions by the eastern and western units of the Bellot Strait hydrographic survey group in 1957, explaining how these “modern explorers” grappled with unpredictable ice conditions, weather, and extreme isolation to chart a usable Northwest Passage f…
A Great Investment in Our Communities”: Strengthening Nunavut’s Whole-of-Society Search and Rescue Capabilities
Community-based organizations along with territorial, provincial, and federal agencies are responsible for search and rescue (SAR) in the Canadian Arctic. In delivering response capabilities at all hours of the day and for 365 days a year, the community-based organizations face a wide array of challenges. Using the data collected through the Kitikmeot Search and Rescue Project and the Kitikmeot Roundtable on SAR, coupled with academic and non-gov…
Tolerant allies: The Joint Arctic Weather Stations, Canadianization, and Canada–United States relations in the Cold War Arctic
From 1947–1972, the Joint Arctic Weather Stations (JAWS) program transformed Canada’s High Arctic. This article focuses on Canada’s aspirations to “Canadianize” the joint program from the late 1940s to the late 1960s. Both Canada and the United States questioned the extent and form of American involvement in the JAWS program intermittently over 25 years of joint operations. Was Canadianization of these remote weather stations necessary or practic…
Governing Complexity in the Arctic Region
This book examines emerging forms of governance in the Arctic region, exploring how different types of state and non-state actors promote and support rules and standards. The authors argue that confining our understandings of Arctic governance to Arctic states and a focus on the Arctic Council as the primary site of circumpolar governance provides an incomplete picture. Instead, they embrace the complexity of governance in the Arctic by systemati…

China's Arctic Ambitions and What They Mean for Canada

It explores resource development, shipping, scientific research, governance, and military strategy.

A Historical and Legal Study of Sovereignty in the Canadian North: Terrestrial Sovereignty, 1870-1939
Gordon W. Smith, PhD, dedicated much of his life to researching Canada's sovereignty in the Arctic. A historian by training, his 1952 dissertation from Columbia University on "The Historical and Legal Background of Canada's Arctic Claims" remains a foundational work on the topic, as does his 1966 chapter "Sovereignty in the North: The Canadian Aspect of an International Problem," in R. St. J. Macdonald's The Arctic Frontier. This work is the firs…
Archipelagic Analogues? Indonesian Baselines, Canadian Arctic Sovereignty, and the Framing of Mental Maps, 1957–62
In 1957, Indonesia shocked the maritime powers of the world when it drew straight baselines enclosing the archipelagic state. Canadian legal experts studied the case thoroughly, debated the prospects of its success, and anticipated the types of precedents it might set—particularly for the Canadian Arctic. Although Indonesia proved an imperfect archipelagic analogue, its actions encouraged officials to contemplate the extent of Canada’s Arctic dom…
The Canadian Rangers: A Living History
The Canadian Rangers stand sentinel in the farthest reaches of our country. For more than six decades, this dedicated group of citizen-soldiers has quietly served as Canada's eyes, ears, and voice in isolated coastal and northern communities from coast to coast to coast. How does this minimally trained and lightly equipped force make a meaningful contribution to national defence and to building sustainable communities? One of Canada's leading exp…
Canada and the Changing Arctic: Sovereignty, Security, and Stewardship

In light of climate change and melting ice in the Arctic Ocean, Canada, Russia, Denmark (Greenland), Norway and the United States, as well as Iceland, Sweden and Finland, are grappling with an emerging Arctic security paradigm. This volume brings together the world's most seasoned Arctic political-military experts from Europe and North …
Mirror Images: Canada, Russia, and the Circumpolar World
The United States of America, Norway, Denmark and Canada are conducting a united and coordinated policy of barring Russia from the riches of the shelf. It is quite obvious that much of this doesn't coincide with economic, geopolitical and defence interests of Russia, and constitutes a systemic threat to its national security.-Russian coundl secretary Nikolai Patrushev, Rossiiskaya Gazeta, 30 March 2009Canada takes its responsibility for its lands…

Given the low standard of contact between environmental and military historians, it is unsurprising, if regrettable, that the relationship between military activity and natural landscapes in Canada has received minimal scholarly attention. This paper seeks to open space for such an environmental history of militarism and militarization. Focusing on the Cold War and its aftermath, the essay documents the history of military activity on Canadian so…
