Huntington, Ph.D., and Nikolai I. Mymrin Inuit Circumpolar Conference Traditional Ecological Knowledge (or TEK) is a system of understanding one's environment. It is built over generations, as people depend on the land and sea for their food, materials, and culture. TEK is based on observations and experience, evaluated in light of what one has learned from one's elders. People have relied on this detailed knowledge for their survivalthey have literally staked their lives on its accuracy and repeatability. TEK is an important source of information and understanding for anyone who is interested in the natural world and the place of people in the environment. Many scientists recognize the value of working with people who live in an area and who have great insight into the natural processes at work in that area. While the scientific perspective is often different from the traditional perspective, both have a great deal to offer one another. Working together is the best way of helping us achieve a better common understanding of nature. When a native hunter and a scientist discuss wildlife biology, maps can be a great starting point. Maps are familiar to both, and information they mark on a map can be easily understood in both cultures. The maps can spark a long conversation, and they are a good reference point throughout an interview, especially as migration routes, feeding areas, ice patterns, currents and other geographic information is added, compared and discussed further.

68. Tour Of WW2 Russian Battlefields In Leningrad, Moscow, Stalingrad And Kursk Russian travel agency offering fully escorted tours of WW2 battlefields in Russia including Leningrad, Moscow, Stalingrad and Kursk. http://www.threeWhales.ru/t7.htm

D uring the tour you will visit the four cities where the most important battles of the Great Patriotic War (W.W.II) took place in the eastern front. For the Soviet Union the war began on June 22, 1941. MOSCOW was to have a key role in this devastating war, but the initial German plans concentrated on the destruction of the Red Army, and the offensive against Moscow. By the beginning of December some German Nazi formations were only about forty km north west of the Moscow Kremlin. STALINGRAD (now Volgograd) is a place of fierce and decisive battle which is considered by Russians a turning point in the W.W.II. The city was totally destroyed in the battle. KURSK. The battle near Kursk is known as the biggest tank battle in the history of mankind. The Nazi armies could not recover after this defeat. TOUR GOAL. The tour is addressed to all people interested in learning more about the Second World War or the Great Patriotic War as Russians call it. We have included the major cities where the biggest battles of the War took place. Some non military museums we also included. These are the museums which one can not but visit being in Russia such as Kremlin, Hermitage. We did this combination because we strongly think that culture is part of the national character which helped Russian together with the allies to win the Second World War. WORLD WAR II BATTLEFIELD TOUR (group tour) ITINERARY We have three groups of the Battlefield tour in season 2003. All three trips are different according to the time, itinerary and visited cities.

HOME MINKE RIGHT FINBACK ... SHARKS The Bay of Fundy Whales I n Micmac lore, it was a giant whale, who angered the god Glooscap and created such a splash with his mighty tail, that the water sloshes back and forth to this day. In actuality, the story of the tremendous Bay of Fundy tides is no less the stuff of legends. Some 350 million years ago, it was not Glooscap, but rather the sun and moon who conspired to create this awe-inspiring natural phenomenon. That is, some 100 million years before the first dinosaurs roamed the earth, this pulsing arm of the North Atlantic was formed, its unique shape amplifying the tides to staggering proportions. New Brunswick's Bay of Fundy is an eco-attraction on par with such marvels as the Great Barrier Reef of Australia and the Rain Forest of Brazil. It's mighty tides are the greatest on earth. Every day, twice daily, one hundred billion tons of seawater roll in and out of the Bay. At low tide, you can literally walk on the ocean floor. At high tide, just six hours later, your footprints will be covered by the ocean. In some places, the vertical difference between high and low tide is 14 meters- roughly the same height as a four storey building! Whales in the Bay Finback Whales The Bay of Fundy giant and the second largest in the world. It can grow to 24 meters (80 feet) and weight 73 tonnes (80 tons). Finbacks have a tall "blow" and are evenly distributed throughout the mouth of the bay.

HUMPBACK WHALES I. BIOLOGY AND NATURAL HISTORY Although their general shape resembles that of a fish, humpback whales are mammals just like humans, and exhibit a number of traits common to all mammals including the following: they are warm blooded they breathe air they bear live young and nurse them with milk Like all whales and dolphins, humpback whales belong to the order cetacea . An order is the fourth level used in biological classification. Biological classification is the method by which all living organisms are scientifically named and classified. The science of biological classification is called taxonomy . There are seven levels of biological classification, the remaining levels are listed below: Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species- contains those organisms most closely related; the basic unit of taxonomy Living organisms are classified largely on the degree of evolutionary relatedness which they share, as well as their anatomical and biochemical similarities. The degree of evolutionary relatedness increases as you progress down the list; members of the same kingdom are not necessarily as closely related as members of the same species. A species possesses those organisms which are the most closely related and is considered the basic unit of taxonomy. Every living organism is given a species name and a genus to which it belongs. Naming organisms by genus and species is universally employed throughout biology and allows scientists to communicate effectively about specific organisms. Assigning each organism a genus and species name is referred to as

Instead they have keratin baleen plates, suspended from the roof of the mouth All species have teeth. There number of teeth varies from 2 in some beaked whales to more than 250 in some dolphin species.
