Baffin Island
Arctic is not immune from the wider trends in geopolitics and international security, Heininin et al. provide unique insight into the benefits of broadening our understanding of security in a general sense and of applying a humancentric approach to security in the Arctic

In 1952, circumstances finally allowed Alice to join her husband on one of his assignments in the Arctic: a two-year sojourn to northern Greenland.It was now the height of the Cold War, and the U.S. Weather Bureau had decided to set up a weather station in cooperation with the Danes at North Star Bay, near the ancient settlement of Umanak and the Thule trading station established by Peter Freuchen and Knud Rasmussen in 1910.When the Crowells arri…

The Muskox Patrol
Canadian government activities in the High Arctic between 1900 and 1933 were carried out almost exclusively in response to the real or perceived intentions of other nations to challenge Canada's sovereignty claims. ... For 11 years, between 1922 and 1933, a small group of dedicated RCMP officers and their Native assistants had served to safeguard Canadian sovereignty against foreigners to the High Arctic islands. ... "The Muskox Patrol" is the st…

The document identified as HBCA E.37/3, which Barr, following Anderson, refers to as a full journal (p. 166, n.1), turns out to be what I would call Anderson's field notes, written daily during the expedition. In contrast, the document that Barr has referred to in footnotes as the "fair copy of Anderson's journal" (HBCA B.200/a/ 31), although based on those field notes, was writt…
Mystery cairns on Washington Irving Island
In 1875, members of the British Arctic Expedition under the command of George S. Nares discovered two ancient-looking stone cairns on Washington Irving Island at the entrance to Dobbin Bay, eastern Ellesmere Island, Nunavut, Canada. At least one of these cairns was destroyed by the expedition members to construct their own cairn. The possibility that these cairns were built by Norse voyagers to Kane Basin is supported by the large number of Norse…

A Late Dorset Site on Axel Heiberg Island
The territory in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago known to have been occupied by the Dorset people has been extended as a result of the finding of a harpoon head on an old camp site consisting of a number of tent rings, and located about seven metres above sea level, near the east bank of a river connecting Buchanan Lake with Mokka Fjord on the east coast of Axel Heiberg Island. The find was made and reported by Robert F. Barstad of the Calgary of…
Thule Culture Communal Houses in Labrador
From the study of excavations at Saglek Bay, construction of large rectangular sod-stone and whalebone communal houses by the Thule culture Eskimos in northern Labrador apparently began about the latter half of the seventeenth century. There appears to have been a general trend towards communal living, beginning with the snow-house complex in the central Canadian Arctic during the early part of the Neo-Boreal period. Communal house development in…

An Archaeological Survey of Bache Peninsula, Ellesmere Island
During the early part of August 1977, a survey of archaeological sites was carried out in the Bache Peninsula region on the east coast of Ellesmere Island, N.W.T. with the purpose of ascertaining the feasibility of detailed prehistoric human/ecological investigations in the area in the future. ... The specific objective of the Ellesmere Island Research Project was to locate sites pertaining to the various phases of Arctic prehistory, including th…
Preliminary Results of Archaeological Investigations in the Bache Peninsula Region, Ellesmere Island, N.W.T
The preliminary results pertaining to the various cultural stages of the Arctic Small Tool Tradition are presented with special emphasis on 1) the earliest appearance of the A.S.T. tradition, 2) pre-Dorset and transitional pre-Dorset/Dorset developments, and 3) the Late Dorset culture stage. The Thule culture continuum is discussed with particular reference to the earliest stages - 1) Nugdlit, and 2) Ruin Island, with its associated Norse cultura…

Polynyas and Prehistoric Settlement Patterns
In traditional Inuit society the availability of game resources must always have been one of the most important criteria for the determination of settlement locations. A number of ecological factors determine the availability of particular game species in the Arctic regions. The presence of open water areas known as polynyas is one of these factors. The relationship between polynya distributions and prehistoric settlement patterns in the High Arc…
Notes on Norse Finds from the East Coast of Ellesmere Island, N.W.T
During the 1978 and 1979 field seasons in the Bache Peninsula region on the east coast of Ellesmere Island (Schledermann, 1978), a number of artifacts mostly of European manufacture and presumably related to Norse activities was located in old Thule culture winter house ruins
Western Elements in the Early Thule Culture of the Eastern High Arctic
Excavations of Thule culture winter sites in the Bache Peninsula region on the east coast of Ellesmere Island have yielded a number of finds which indicate a strong relationship to cultural developments in the Bering Sea region. Specific elements under discussion include dwelling styles, clay pottery, needle cases, a brow band and harpoon heads. Evidence is presented suggesting an initial arrival of the Thule culture Inuit in the eastern Arctic a…
Jens Munk (1579-1628)
In 1618 the Danish King Christian IV ordered Munk to ready a major expedition to embark for East India via Cape Horn. Tirelessly, Munk organized the ships, the men, the provisions, and the thousand details involved in such an undertaking. To his astonishment, however, the command was not to be his; it fell to a man of suitable nobility, Ove Giedde. ... The future was bleak, but Munk was not easily discouraged. He approached the king with a plan t…
Reminiscences
Since its inception the Arctic Institute has experienced many difficult episodes, not the least of which was the upheaval caused by the move from Montreal to Calgary. In 1979 AINA became an institute of the University of Calgary and embarked upon yet another time of transition.Key words: Arctic Institute of North America
The Fram
In 1884, Eskimos hunting off the south coast of Greenland found a number of relics from the Jeanette on an ice floe, including a provisions note written by its commander, De Long. The drift pattern of Siberian timbers and now the startling relics from the Jeanette convinced Fridtjof Nansen that a ship deliberately set into the grip of the polar ice pack in the right place would drift with the ice over, or at least close to, the North Pole. ... [T…
Einar Mikkelsen (1880-1971)
"Einar Mikkelsen, or Mikkel, as he was often called, would have been quite at home in the old Norse society. Exploring new lands and seeking tough challenges in the northern regions of the world was as much in Mikkel's blood as any Norseman could have wished for himself." This profile recounts the remarkable expeditions to Greenland and Alaska, undertaken by Mikkelsen, under the most extreme conditions, and tells of his involvement with Greenland…
