Sooke: A Tourist Destination

The Inuits and the Ojibwa

Vancouver and Halifax’s surrounding orographic elevation is dissimilar. In Vancouver, the North Shore Mountains form a 1788 meter tall terrestrial horizon, and the Coast Mountains act as another mountain barrier. However, in Halifax, the South Mountain range is the highest mountain barrier west of Halifax with an altitude of 200 meters, but the higher, yet still short, Cobequid Mountains with a

The people of Inuit, Yup’ik, Unangan, and other Native Americans Indians have lived in the harshest environment on Earth from Siberia, across Alaska and Canada, and to the East of Greenland along the coast of the Bering Sea and Arctic Ocean. From Labrador to the interior of Alaska the Athapaskan, Cree, Innu, and other Native’s people lived in the subarctic region of the land. These people had the ability to depend on their years of knowledge of the sky, ice, ocean, land, and animal behaviors in order to survive. Living in the area that was vast and dealing with seasonal dynamic extremes these Native people of the Artic and Subarctic had a honorable endurance for an millennia of exchanged goods, ceremonies, and shared feasts with neighboring goods that has help them throughout the years.

The Canadian Inuit were a domestic, tribal, egalitarian society in the 19th century. And some cultural changes occurred; making the Inuit adapt and become more aware of other resources they could get hold of, for gathering and hunting for food. In the 19th Century, the Europeans discovered the Inuit culture and this provided new resources for the Inuit to gain an easier way to gather and hunt for food. But because of the European influence, the Inuit’s culture changed to adapt with European Individuals living in their land, and European resources that had been made access to them. By this cultural change in the 19th century there was “an increased diversity in the social structure and material culture of the Labrador Inuit society” (Auger, 1993:27). The Labrador Inuit was a significant Inuit Society to have an ethnographical research made to understand a little bit more to; how the Inuit was affected and how the food process was changed. It will also be discussed the significant ideas and techniques that the Inuit used to gather and hunt for resources.

Hawaii and Wyoming are two states often visited because of the variety of activities they offer. Even though both states appear different, they actually do have similarities. Hawaii is a tropical island with a moderately warm climate year round. Because of its climate, visitors generally enjoy outside activities. Wyoming is a landlocked state that usually has cooler climate. However, in the summer, it can rival Hawaii for heat. In Wyoming people spend a great deal of time driving around, taking pictures and exploring new “bucket list” places. Also, activities such as hiking, wagon riding, and cookouts allow people to be outside during their visit. [Thesis]: Although both Hawaii and Wyoming have similarities such as amazing

At first glance, many people are not aware of the rich history behind False Creek, or originally, Snauq. The appreciation for the land and environment by the residents that occupy Vancouver today differ from the Indigenous people. A passerby may look out into the waters and gaze at the boats. It is likely that they would not consider the history of Indigenous people due to the lack of recognition and acknowledgement. When I looked out False Creek, I saw the water shoreline and the buildings that loomed overhead, with BC place on the far right (see Appendix). Maracle reminisces about the time when the area was called Snauq. Snauq used to be the home of the Squamish people. Much of the land was not tampered, the Indigenous people internalized

The Kwakiutl mainly reside in the geographical region of the North Pacific Coast. Stretching along the coast of present day British Columbia. This area begins near the southern border of Alaska; from the Juan de Fuca Strait and extends down south to Yakutat Bay. This region is overlaid with a diverse landscape that has greatly impacted the Kwakiutl way of life. The multitude of resource available to the Kwakiutl has prominently sustain practically every aspect of their culture and society. The ever changing layout of this area created an impenetrable home for the Kwakiutl to inhabit. The coast is shattered with numerous islands and key rivers such as the Columbia, Salmon, and Bella Coola. This opens up a system of travel, commerce, and also creating very strict opportunities for other cultural influences. With the surrounding area thick in dense forests and rugged terrain that includes mountain ranges to valleys rich with life sustaining variables such as wild game, plants, timber, and potential settlement. This varied landscape also greatly isolated the Kwakiutl, making it difficult for any outside influences or possible threats to their way of life, F. Boas 1966, page 7.

The Netsilik (the people of the seal) are Inuit’s that live in the Canadian Arctic north of Hudson Bay above the Arctic Circle. With the sea freezing in September and not thawing out till the end of July living is very difficult. In the mid-nineteenth century, they numbered about five hundred. As time progressed, their population grew up to 4,000. The Netsilik’s native dialect is that of the “Inuit-Inupiaq” (What when how) which is a branch of the “Eskaleut” (WWH) language family. In the past, they lived in small nomadic villages comprised of igloos that traveled in groups or extended families. However, due to contact with other cultures, they have started to utilize things such as snowmobiles, firearms and other technologies instead of their
