Baillie Islands

The Baillie Islands (Inuvialuktun: Utkraluk) are located off the north coast of Cape Bathurst in the Northwest Territories, Canada. The group consists of one large and two smaller islands, and are named after George Baillie, Agent-General of the Crown Colonies. The islands formed part of the area used by the Avvaqmiut, who are a branch of the Inuvialuit (Mackenzie Inuit). Geography The northernmost and largest island of the Baillie Islands is about 16 km (10 mi) long and is quite low. Observation Point, its northern extremity, is about 12 m (40 ft) high. Two sandspits, with a small cove between them, extend in a southerly direction from the southeastern end of the island. A rare endemic plant known as hairy rockcress or hairy braya (Braya pilosa, genus Braya of family Brassicaceae) is known to grow in five locations on the Baillie Islands as well as the nearby Cape Bathurst. The plant is listed by the Northwest Territories Species at Risk Committee as threatened and by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada as endangered. History The first European to visit the area was John Richardson in 1826, who also named it. It was again visited by Richardson and John Rae, while searching the Northwest Passage for Franklin's lost expedition. For many years, the island was a summer meeting point for whalers, as well as traditional fishing grounds. In 1915, the Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) established a trading post on the island. While the post was being set up, it was visited by competing trader Christian Theodore Pedersen. By the 1920s, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) had established a detachment on the island. It was at Baillie Island, in 1928, after returning from Cambridge Bay that Inspector Kemp, the Commanding Officer for the Western Arctic, appointed Henry Larsen captain of the St. Roch. In 1925, Inuvialuk artist Agnes Nanogak was born on the Baillie Islands to Natkutsiak (Billy Banksland) and Topsy Ekiona. In 1939, the HBC post was moved to the RCMP buildings at Maitland Point, because Baillie Island was eroding. The post was then renamed to Maitland Point. It closed in 1941. References
Бейлли

Бейлли (англ. Baillie Island, инуит. Utkraluk) — остров в Канаде, расположенный в море Бофорта у северного побережья мыса Батерст в Северо-Западных территориях. На острове растёт брайя волосистая (Braya pilosa Hook.). В 1826 году на острове побывал Джон Ричардсон, участник второй экспедиции Джона Франклина, который дал острову название. Позже Ричардсон и Джон Рэй посетили остров в ходе поисков Северо-Западного прохода и пропавшей экспедиции Франклина. В 1915 году Компания Гудзонова залива открыла торговый пост на острове. В 1920-х годах на острове было размещено подразделение Королевской канадской конной полиции.

Eight Bears Island

Eight Bears Island is an uninhabited island in the Parry Islands sub-group of the Queen Elizabeth Islands, Northwest Territories, Canada. It lies roughly equidistant between Mackenzie King Island and Emerald Isle, immediately east of Fitzwilliam Owen Island. Its name comes from the explorer Edwin Willard Deming who's family was nicknamed 'The Eight Bears'. History The island was discovered in June 1915 by Vilhjalmur Stefansson during the Canadian Arctic Expedition, 1913–1916. It was named by the expedition's photographer, Hubert Wilkins, in honor of the "Eight Bears": the American painter Edwin Willard Deming and his family. The Deming family had maintained correspondence with Wilkins during his earlier travels, continuing to send letters even when he was presumed dead. The island is scientifically obscure; the last documented survey was by geologist J.G. Fyles of the Geological Survey of Canada on July 18, 1964, who noted the presence of raised beaches and marine shells. Geography Located at 77°N, the island remains ice-bound for the majority of the year. It is situated approximately 300 kilometres (160 nmi) north of the Parry Channel, well removed from the primary routes of the Northwest Passage.

Isola degli Otto Orsi

Eight Bears Island (letteralmente "Isola degli Otto Orsi") è un'isola disabitata nel sottogruppo delle Isole Regina Elisabetta (o Isole di Parry) nei Territori del Nord-Ovest del Canada. Si trova equidistante tra l'Isola Mackenzie King e l'Isola Smeraldo, immediatamente a est dell'isola Fitzwilliam Owen. Storia L'isola fu scoperta da Vilhjalmur Stefansson nel Giugno del 1915 durante La Spedizione Artica Canadese tra il 1913-1916. Fu chiamata così dal fotografo della spedizione, Hubert Wilkins, in onore della famiglia "Otto Orsi": ossia la famiglia del pittore americano Edwin Willard Deming. La famiglia Deming aveva mantenuto contatto con Wilkins durante i suoi primi viaggi, continuando a inviare lettere anche quando si pensava fosse morto. L'isola è poco documentata; l'ultima indagine è stata fatta dal geologo J.G Fyles per l'Indagine Geologica del Canada il 18 Luglio del 1964. Geografia A causa della sua posizione ( 77°N), l'isola rimane ghiacciata per la maggior parte dell'anno. Si trova a circa 300 chilometri (160 nmi) a nord del Canale di Parry, lontano dalle rotte principali del Passaggio a Nord-Ovest.

Northern Life Museum

Das Northern Life Museum & Cultural Centre im kanadischen Fort Smith ist ein Museum mit dem Sammlungsschwerpunkt auf den ethnischen Gruppen bzw. der Geschichte des Nordwestens. Die mehr als 10.000 Artefakte gehen zu erheblichen Teilen auf die hier tätigen Missionsorden der Oblaten zurück. Deren Objekte wurden erstmals 1964 im Grandin College (heute P.W.K. High School) ausgestellt. 1972 wurde die Northern Anthropological and Cultural Society gegründet, die sich den Bau eines Museums zum Ziel setzte. Es konnte bereits am 8. Juni 1974 vom seinerzeitigen Minister für Indianerangelegenheiten Jean Chrétien, dem späteren Premierminister, eröffnet werden. Die thematischen Schwerpunkte sind Volk des Nordens (People of the North), wobei hier die Geschichte der First Nations und der Métis von Nord-Alberta und von den Nordwest-Territorien repräsentiert wird, dazu kommen Verkehr (vor allem die Rolle des Kanus), Missionare (die Oblaten errichteten hier ihre erste Kirche 1876), Naturgeschichte (der Wood Buffalo National Park entstand 1922, und ist der zweitgrößte Park der Welt, dabei spielen die seltenen Schreikraniche und das Amerikanische Bison eine Hauptrolle) sowie Technik.

Northern Life Museum

The Northern Life Museum is in Fort Smith, Northwest Territories, Canada. The museum has a collection of over 13,000 artifacts representing the peoples and history of the North. Many of the artifacts were collected by the Oblate Fathers and the Grey Nuns during their missionary work in the North. History The artifacts were first displayed in 1964 in the basement of Grandin College. In 1972, the Northern Anthropological and Cultural Society was formed in Fort Smith with the purpose of promoting, building and maintaining a museum. The Northern Life Museum is the oldest museum in the Northwest Territories. Collection The outside gallery is home to a collection of agriculture equipment and machinery that was used in and around Fort Smith. This exhibit includes a Holt tractor that was brought north in 1919 to work the portage route between Fort Fitzgerald and Fort Smith. It also includes the Radium King, a vessel used first to haul uranium and radium ore and then later to push barges. The Northern Life Museum displays are built around 5 themes. It hosts displays of an authentic northern trading post, a typical northern kitchen from the 1940s, 2 mounted adult bison, a traditional trapper's cabin, a 1965 Polaris Sno-Traveler, and a river bank scene featuring a birch bark canoe. The Northern Life Museum also hosts a whooping crane display. The last remaining natural migratory flock of whooping cranes in the world nest in and around Wood Buffalo National Park. Canus was discovered as an injured chick by researchers in 1964. Unable to be released back into the wild, Canus (named after the joint CANadian/US effort) took up residence at Patuxent Wildlife Refuge in Maryland as the first participant in their new captive breeding program. The program enjoyed great success and Canus' contribution brought him international recognition. Canus was welcomed in 2004 as a part of the Northern Life Museum's permanent exhibits. The museum also hosts an outdoor aboriginal cultural Centre that showcases Canada's first peoples' ways of traditional living before European contact occurred in the early 1800s. It host as functional cold cache, smokehouse and tipi for public use. There is a virtual tour that can be found online, though the displays have changed significantly since this tour was posted. Affiliations The Museum is affiliated with: CMA, CHIN, and Virtual Museum of Canada. References External links
Joseph Burr Tyrrell Elementary School

Joseph Burr Tyrrell Elementary School is an elementary school in Fort Smith, Northwest Territories, Canada, and is named for the explorer Joseph Tyrrell. The school, along with the Paul William Kaeser High School, is overseen by the Fort Smith District Education Authority and administered by the South Slave Divisional Education Council. It provides elementary education services to students from Fort Smith as well as the nearby Salt River First Nation and Smith's Landing First Nation. Background As of 2025, the school had 280 students and 20 staff members. The number of students tends to shift significantly from year to year because of the large number of students from outside the community whose parents attend nearby Aurora College, Thebacha Campus for a limited time. One estimate indicated that student turnover at the school could be as high as fifty per cent. The school is located in the South Slave Region and is administered by the South Slave Divisional Education Council, alongside other schools in the communities of Hay River, Fort Resolution, Łutselk'e, and Kátlodéhche First Nation (Hay River Reserve). The school was named after Joseph Tyrrell, a geologist and cartographer from Weston, Ontario responsible for leading two expeditions into what is now referred to as the Barren Lands in the Northwest Territories. French immersion program The school is, as of 2012, hosting a French immersion program being offered to students from grades one to six. As of end June 2026 the school's French Immersion was cut due to lack of students.

Tuktoyaktuk

Tuktoyaktuk o Tuktuyaaqtuuq (in Inuvialuktun: sembra un caribù, familiarmente chiamata Tuk) è un centro abitato situato nella regione di Inuvik, Territori del Nord-Ovest (Canada). È situato a nord del Circolo polare artico, sulle rive del Mar Glaciale Artico. In passato era chiamato Port Brabant, ma venne rinominato nel 1950 quando tornò in uso il nome usato dai nativi americani. Geografia L'abitato di Tuktoyaktuk si trova sulla penisola omonima nella baia di Kugmallit sulla costa del Mar Glaciale Artico e d'estate è un porto per imbarcazioni da pesca. Fino a poco tempo fa il mare gelava per parecchi mesi all'anno; ora - a causa del riscaldamento climatico - il periodo di gelo si è ridotto. Il territorio circostante è coperto da tundra e la zona è famosa in Canada per la presenza di numerosi pingo. Vi sono ancora importanti mandrie di caribù. Il clima è subartico. La temperatura media di tutto l'anno è -10 °C; nel corso dell'anno la media varia da -25 °C a gennaio a +14 °C a luglio. Le precipitazioni sono concentrate nel periodo estivo e sono comunque minime (24 mm all'anno). Storia Il sito è stato utilizzato per secoli dagli inuit per la pesca delle beluga e la caccia dei caribù. All'inizio del XX secolo vi fu un certo apporto di popolazioni amerindiane. Nel 1937 la Compagnia della Baia di Hudson lo utilizzò come sede per il commercio di pelli. Nel 1947 vi fu istituita una scuola nell'ambito del progetto di assimilazione degli inuit alla società di stile europeo. Negli anni 1950 vi fu installata una stazione radar nell'ambito del Norad e fu realizzato un aeroporto. Negli anni 1960, a parte qualche impiegato nelle strutture pubbliche e nei trasporti, la maggior parte della popolazione viveva ancora secondo le linee tradizionali. Negli anni 1970 vi fu un certo apporto di tecnici per la ricerca di petrolio nell'artico. Società Evoluzione demografica Negli ultimi anni la popolazione è abbastanza stabile, poco al di sotto dei 1 000 abitanti (989 nel 2020). Al censimento del 2016 risulta una popolazione piuttosto giovane (età mediana: 30 anni) e per quanto riguarda l'origine etnica gli abitanti identificano se stessi come: 91% inuit, 16% europei, 7% amerindiani. La somma è più del 100% perché alcuni si identificano con più origini. Infrastrutture e trasporti Dal 2017 il villaggio è raggiungibile in automobile da Inuvik mediante la Inuvik Tuktoyaktuk Highway, percorribile tutto l'anno. Tuktoyaktuk è così l'unica località canadese sulla costa del Mar Glaciale Artico collegata alla rete stradale del Paese. Dall'aeroporto James Gruben (codice IATA: YUB) fino al 2018 c'era un servizio regolare per Inuvik, poi cessato però perché l'apertura della strada aveva reso troppo sporadico l'utilizzo degli aeroplani. Esso è attualmente utilizzato dall'aviazione generale.

Тактояктук

Тактояктук (англ. Tuktoyaktuk, инув. Tuktuyaaqtuuq) — деревня в административном регионе Инувик, Северо-Западные территории, Канада. Известная ранее как Порт-Брабант, деревня была переименована в 1950 году и стала первым населённым пунктом Канады, которому было возвращено традиционное для коренных народов название. История Этому нет никаких формальных археологических подтверждений, однако считается, что территория современного поселения использовалась инуитами на протяжении нескольких веков, будучи местом охоты на карибу и белух. Кроме того, естественная гавань Тактояктука исторически использовалась местным населением для водного сообщения с различными инуитскими поселениями. С 1890 по 1910 год значительная часть коренных жителей Тактояктука была уничтожена эпидемиями гриппа, который сюда принесли американские китобои. В последующие годы здесь поселились представители народа дене и уроженцы острова Хершел. В 1937 году в поселении был основан торговый пост Компании Гудзонова залива. Начиная с 1950-х годов в Тактояктуке строятся радиолокационные станции (часть Линии «Дью»), чтобы контролировать воздушное пространство и выявлять возможные советские вторжения во время Холодной войны. Удобное расположение поселения (и его гавани) сделали Тактояктук важным центром по снабжению гражданских подрядчиков и персонала ВВС на Линии «Дью». В 1947 году в поселении была основана одна из первых правительственных «дневных школ», которые создавались с целью интегрировать инуитскую молодёжь в канадскую культуру. В последнее время Тактояктук стал базой для разведки нефтяных и газовых месторождений в море Бофорта. В начале 2013 года начато строительство дороги, соединяющей Тактояктук с городом Инувик. На начало её строительства Инувик уже был соединён с дорожной сетью юга Канады. 15 ноября 2017 года всесезонная дорога между Тактояктуком и Инувиком была официально открыта. Эта дорога протяжённостью 138 км стала первой канадской автомагистралью, достигающей берегов Северного Ледовитого океана. С её открытием Канада стала первой страной в мире, соединённой дорожной сетью от океана до океана до океана: от Атлантического через Тихий до Северного Ледовитого. Стоимость проекта составила около 300 миллионов канадских долларов. Дорога не только обеспечила круглогодичный наземный доступ к Тактояктуку, ранее доступному только по воздуху или по зимнику, но и значительно снизила стоимость доставки продовольствия и товаров в поселение. География Расположена севернее Северного полярного круга, на побережье Северного Ледовитого океана немногим восточнее дельты реки Маккензи. В 5 км к западу от Тактояктука находится национальная достопримечательность Пинго, представленная огромным количеством бугров пучения, известных также как пинго. Климат деревни характеризуется как холодный субарктический. Население По данным переписи 2021 года население деревни составляет 937 человек. По данным прошлой переписи 2016 года оно насчитывало 898 человек. Средний доход на душу населения по данным на 2010 год составлял C$33 595, а средний доход на семью — C$72 913 (при этом 30,4 % семей получают доход ниже C$30 000). Примечания
