42. Suicide In The Northwest Territories: A Descriptive Review Thirtyone of the suicide victims (40%) had a history of previous suicide Suicide rates for the northwest territories can vary dramatically from one http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/publicat/cdic-mcc/19-4/c_e.html

Volume 19, No.4 - 2000 Table of Contents Suicide in The Northwest Territories: A Descriptive Review Sandy Isaacs, Susan Keogh, Cathy Menard and Jamie Hockin Abstract Key words: aboriginal health; intentional injuries; Northwest Territories; suicide Introduction Suicide among aboriginal groups in Canada has been reported to be two to four times more frequent than in the population at large. In the Northwest Territories (NWT), where aboriginal populations represent the majority, considerable attention has focused on an apparent increase in the occurrence of suicide in a number of communities. In 1992 the annual age-standardized suicide rate for the NWT was estimated at 23 per 100,000 population compared to 13 per 100,000 for Canada as a whole. In the spring of 1997, the Department of Health and Social Services of the Government of the NWT (GNWT) invited the Field Epidemiology Training Program at Health Canada's Laboratory Centre for Disease Control to collaborate in a review of existing suicide mortality data with the following objectives. To identify subgroups of the population in the NWT who are most at risk of suicide To describe the circumstances surrounding the deaths of people in the NWT who have committed suicide Material and Methods For this report, suicides are defined as deaths due to self-inflicted injury with the intent of causing death. Two approaches were taken to achieve the study objectives: an analysis of a suicide database of suicide events recorded since 1981 and a review and summary of coroner's reports on suicide cases for the period 1994-1996.

43. The Creation Of A New Northwest Territories // NWT - Map & History // Legislativ On April 1, 1999 a new northwest territories was created when new boundaries weredrawn in Later that year, due to development pressure in their region, http://www.assembly.gov.nt.ca/VisitorInfo/NWTMapandHistory/Creation.html

The Creation of a New Northwest Territories Ceremonial Circle Capital Park - Area of Preservation On April 1, 1999 a new Northwest Territories was created when new boundaries were drawn in Canada's North. Two new territories, a new NWT and Nunavut (which means "our land" in Inuktitut), were created. This change marked the first significant change to the map of Canada since Newfoundland joined Confederation in 1949. The motivation for creating two new territories in Canada's North stemmed from the people of Nunavut's desire to have their own government, one that is closer to the people and more culturally-based including the use of Inuktitut as the working language of the new government. However, the concept of dividing the NWT dates back to the 1950s when non-aboriginals in the Mackenzie Valley in the western part of the NWT pushed to divide the territory, arguing the move would allow the West to move more rapidly to responsible government. The creation of the two new territories moved one step closer to reality in 1963 when the federal government introduced legislation to divide the Northwest Territories into the Mackenzie and Nunassiaq territories. But later that same year the legislation died on the order paper. The next year, the newly elected Northwest Territories Council expressed opposition to dividing the region. Dean A.W.R. Carruthers was appointed by the federal government to head up a commission to study the development of government in the Northwest Territories. After the completion of the study in 1966, the Commission recommended that the NWT should not divide into two territories. This slowed the discussion of the issue for a few years.

Indeed, it has been observed that "...there is no single viable construct that encompasses all of northern Athapaskan prehistory although during the last two decades there has been major research pertinent to the ancestry of various Athapaskan groups" (Clark and Morlan : 89). The foregoing observation, however, appears to have been influenced by a belief that the discipline of linguistics can approximate the time and nature of dialect divergence; a capability with which I am not as sanguine. Unlike further south, the enormous land mass of the western Subarctic has many common characteristics and, in this respect, is like the lands immediately to the north and east that are still occupied by the Inuit and northern Algonquian-speakers, respectively. Using the Mackenzie River Valley as a dividing line between east and west, the following vegetation provinces pertain: to the east, Tundra and Lichen Woodland with a corner of Boreal Forest in the southwest; and to the west, the aforementioned vegetation provinces but with a marked expansion of the Boreal Forest and even a section of the Columbia-Montane Forest in the southern reaches (McAndrews et al.

QUICK LINKS Home page Archaeology Arts and Crafts Civilizations Cultures First Peoples History Treasures Military history Artifact catalogue Library catalogue Other Web sites Boutique E arly Northwest Interior culture is a tentative cultural construct. It could even be called a classificatory 'catch-all' bred of archaeological desperation. The nature of the archaeological evidence makes it difficult to determine if there is one or two or more distinct cultures in the region. A range of factors have coalesced to insure an exceptional poverty of clear archaeological evidence. Early Northwest Interior culture may have been initially represented by a technology with bifacially flaked tools but lacking a microblade technology called Northern Cordilleran (Clark ). Microblade technology was adopted later from the west, except in the northern Yukon where it was probably present at a very early date (Cinq-Mars ). There is the problem of whether the movement of microblade technology out of Alaska into the Yukon Territory, the western portion of the Mackenzie District of the Northwest Territories, and northern British Columbia, represented an actual movement of people bearing a distinctive culture or was simply microblade technology being adopted by indigenous populations. There is the additional problem of whether, in many instances, the absence of microblade technology reflects specific site function where microblades were not required rather than evidence of a culture lacking microblade technology. As has been aptly noted "...the logical and probable existence of Northwest Microblade tradition sites without microblades is an insidious problem inasmuch as identification of this tradition is dependent on the recovery of microblades or cores" (Clark

Their rich and artistically expressive cultures centered on the hunting of sea mammals and caribou. Inhabitants of the interior regions between the Yukon and Hudson Bay were primarily seasonal caribou hunters, although they also fished and hunted moose, arctic hare and musk ox. European explorers in search of the Northwest Passage visited the area intermittently from 1524 onward, but it wasn't until the 1800s that fur traders and prospectors began to live and hunt in the region. In 1888 the territories (which then included the Yukon and Nunavut) became part of newly confederated Canada. Shortly after the discovery of gold in the Yukon in 1896, territorial boundaries were established that remained more or less intact until the creation of Nunavut.

Why not remove this uncertainty? While it is common practice to assume these parameters as part of software-driven basin modelling work or structural reconstructions, Geotrack has pioneered efforts worldwide to measure these critical parameters directly. In the NWT, any models describing the petroleum system will be severely impaired if critical parameters such as the timing of heating events are inferred rather than controlled by direct measurement.

A sketch survey of Fort Smith, showing the limits of the town in 1944 and 1912. Looking south. Black dots are houses. History Fort Smith's history began because of the Slave River and the vital link it provided for the water traffic between southern Canada and the Western Arctic. Early fur traders found a well-worn portage route from what is now Fort Fitzgerald, Alberta on the western bank of the Slave River to Fort Smith. This route allowed one to navigate the four sets of impassible rapids - Cassette Rapids, Pelican Rapids, Mountain Rapids and Rapids of the Drowned. The portage trail had been traditionally used by local aboriginal people for centuries. The aboriginal population of the region shifted as the fortunes of the tribes changed. By 1870, Cree had occupied the Slave River Valley. The Slavey had moved north by this time and the Southerly Caribou Chipewyan had also begun moving into the area. When the Hudson's Bay Company learned of the area in 1715, it sent William Steward to establish trade with the local population. He is acknowledged as being the first "white man" in the Mackenzie region. In 1872, the Hudson's Bay Company built an outpost called Smith's Landing at the most southern set of rapids. In 1874, another outpost was constructed at the most northern set of rapids and called Fort Smith. Both posts having been named in honour of Donald Alexander Smith, later Lord Strathcona. He was a Hudson's Bay Company governor, a member of the first Northwest Territories Council and was later head of the Canadian Pacific Railway.

The report, published as Section 3.6, Heritage Resources, of a document entitled Stony Rapids Community and Resource Access Road, Stage II: Environmental Evaluation of Alternative Routes , was written as a contract consulting report by Dr. Meyer when he was employed by the Saskatchewan Research Council's archaeology research unit. The area covered is the far north of the province, adjacent to the Saskatchewan-Northwest Territories boundary. The original report authored by Meyer has been slightly edited and re-organized by Tim Jones, Saskatchewan Archaeological Society, to appear in the form presented below. It is used here with the permission of Cochrane Engineeing Inc. of Regina, Saskatchewan Introduction Heritage resources in far northern Saskatchewan consist , in the main, of remains found in locations occupied by Indian (and Inuit) peoples prior to the arrival of Europeans. In northern Saskatchewan these archaeological sites are generally shallow, only 20-30 cm in depth. Geophysical processes that may bury human occupations are uncommon in the forested regions and, as a result, stratified sites are rare. Because the archaeological sites are on or near the surface they are easily disturbed by human activities or natural erosion.

At the same time, a small piece of Rupert's Land was formed into the province of Manitoba , but the rest of the two territories were merged and renamed the North-West Territories.

Counties of Canada Canada is divided into ten provinces and three territories. Each of these entities may have different types of subdivision, used for various purposes. Statistics Canada, the Canadian census organization, has created a Standard Geographical Classification (SGC). The SGC is a hierarchical set of regional divisions. Provinces and territories are top-level divisions, and have two-digit codes. On the second level are census divisions, also with two-digit codes. Census subdivisions, with three-digit codes, are on the third (lowest) level. To identify an area completely, the hierarchical codes are concatenated from left to right. For example, represents the census subdivision of Perth, Ontario. The identifies Ontario, the identifies Lanark county, and the specifies Perth. Census divisions and subdivisions are subject to change every five years. In some cases, these changes simply reflect changes to the corresponding administrative divisions. In other cases, they may be made for the convenience of the census. Canada has an official database of place names called the Canadian Geographical Names Data Base (CGNDB). Each place in the CGNDB is located in a province or territory, and most of them are further localized by "Location". These "Locations" are province subdivisions.
