Underground Leviathan: Corporate Sovereignty and Mining in the Americas. By Israel G. Solares
The Cambridge History of the Polar Regions

Structured as a series of thematic chapters, an international team of scholars offer a range of perspectives from environmental history, the history of science and exploration, cultural history, and the more traditional approaches of political, social, economic, and imperial history.…

Dust versus Dust: Aluminum Therapy and Silicosis in the Canadian and Global Mining Industries
By the 1930s, silicosis – a debilitating lung disease caused by the inhalation of silica dust – had reached epidemic proportions among miners in the gold-producing Porcupine region of northern Ontario. In response, industrial doctors at the McIntyre Mine began to test aluminum powder as a possible prophylactic against the effects of silica dust. In 1944, the newly created McIntyre Research Foundation began distributing aluminum powder throughout …

Mainstreaming the social sciences in conservation
Despite broad recognition of the value of social sciences and increasingly vocal calls for better engagement with the human element of conservation, the conservation social sciences remain misunderstood and underutilized in practice. The conservation social sciences can provide unique and important contributions to society's understanding of the relationships between humans and nature and to improving conservation practice and outcomes. There are…
Conservation social science: Understanding and integrating human dimensions to improve conservation
It has long been claimed that a better understanding of human or social dimensions of environmental issues will improve conservation. The social sciences are one important means through which researchers and practitioners can attain that better understanding. Yet, a lack of awareness of the scope and uncertainty about the purpose of the conservation social sciences impedes the conservation community's effective engagement with the human dimension…

Introduction: Critical perspectives on extractive industries in Northern Canada
Aboriginal communities, traditional knowledge, and the environmental legacies of extractive development in Canada
Nature’s nations: The shared conservation history of Canada and the USA
Historians often study the history of conservation within the confines of national borders, concentrating on the bureaucratic and political manifestations of policy within individual governments. Even studies of the popular expression of conservationist ideas are generally limited to the national or sub-national (province, state, etc.) scale. This paper suggests that conservationist discourse, policy and practice in Canada and the USA were the pr…
Claiming the New North: Development and Colonialism at the Pine Point Mine, Northwest Territories, Canada
This paper explores the history of economic, social and environmental change associated with the Pine Point lead-zinc mine, a now-abandoned industrial site and town in the Northwest Territories. Recent perspectives in cultural geography and environmental history have sought to rehabilitate mining landscapes from their reputation as places of degradation and exploitation - the so-called 'mining imaginary'. We argue that the landscapes of Pine Poin…
Shooting the Archives: Document Digitization for Historical–Geographical Collaboration 1
This article focuses on the practical and methodological dimensions of a somewhat‐neglected aspect of so‐called ‘digital history’: user digitization of historical documents for research projects. Increasing numbers of professional researchers, including historians and historical geographers, are embracing digital technologies as a way to speed research, collect large amounts of primary source material, and enhance their use of this material by mo…
Once There Were So Many: Animals as Ecological Baselines
The observations of naturalists and explorers have been used as historical sources for determining baseline wildlife conditions from the earliest practice of modern ecology. These sources are rarely critically analyzed, however, and are often incorporated into contemporary scientific literature advocating the conservation and restoration of wildlife. This essay argues that combining approaches from environmental history and recent ecological rese…

Environmental Justice Goes Underground? Historical Notes from Canada's Northern Mining Frontier
Industrial mining in Canada's territorial north has produced negative social, economic, and environmental consequences for aboriginal communities in the region since the early twentieth century. Many of these historical impacts persist: toxic sites associated with abandoned mines located within aboriginal traditional territories have become a source of great concern in recent years. It is difficult, however, to analyze historic mining activity wi…

Not Wanted in the Boundary: The Expulsion of the Keeseekoowenin Ojibway Band from Riding Mountain National Park
The expulsion of Aboriginal people from Canadian and US national parks has often been characterized as an attempt to create the illusion of an Edenic wilderness within the settled landscapes of the post-frontier West. In Manitoba's Riding Mountain National Park, however, the National Parks Branch evicted the Keeseekowenin Ojibway Band from a small reserve within the park boundary in 1936 in response to more specific local economic development con…
Hunters at the Margin: Native People and Wildlife Conservation in the Northwest Territories
Hunters at the Margin examines the conflict in the Northwest Territories between Native hunters and conservationists over three big game species: the wood bison, the muskox, and the caribou. John Sandlos argues that the introduction of game regulations, national parks, and game sanctuaries was central to the assertion of state authority over the traditional hunting cultures of the Dene and Inuit. His archival research undermines the assumption th…

A Broken Frontier: Ecological Imperialism in the Canadian North
Ecological imperialism is one of the most enduring models of past global environmental change. This essay argues that the application of ecological imperialism as an explanation for New World environmental change should not be limited to temperate regions where the process was so spectacularly successful. Using the Canadian North as a broad regional template, our analysis suggests that consideration of both the failures and the limited successes …

Landscaping Desire: Poetics, Politics in the Early Biological Surveys of the Canadian North
There is a long tradition in the Canadian North of outsiders imagining the region in accordance with their own cultural assumptions. At the turn of the century, naturalists, hunters, and explorers such as Ernest Thompson Seton, Caspar Whitney, and G. H. Blanchet began to describe the North as a last wilderness frontier that was teeming with vast herds of caribou. Many of their narratives also described native hunters as “wanton” killers of wildli…
