Abstract:

Most of Quebec's electricity generation, installed capacity 26,839 MW in January 1992, is from hydroelectric installations. Present development is directed at the James Bay region of Hudson Bay – Phase 1 of the La Grande complex delivers 10,200 MW into the Hydro-Québec system and Phase 2 will add another 3,400 MW. Future development is planned the Grande-Baleine (Great Whale) and the Nottaway-Broadback-Rupert (NBR) complex. This added capacity, planned for the next 10 years will add about 12,000 MW to the system.

Abstract:

This study examines how forest structure and composition change with spatial variations in the fire cycle across a shore-hinterland gradient. Twenty-one well-drained sites were sampled at different distances from James Bay to describe the forest stands. To quantify the role of fire in tree species distribution, a spatial analysis of fire polygons from 1930 to 1998 was undertaken in a 43 228 km2 study area adjacent to James Bay. Results from this analysis reveal an important decrease in the fire cycle, from 3142 to 115 years, from the shore to the hinterland. In forests bordering James Bay, white spruce (Picea glauca (Moench) Voss) is found in pure stands. It is gradually replaced by black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) BSP) at 0.5 km from the shore. Jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb.) abruptly appears at 22 km from the shore. There is a positive correlation between the frequency of white spruce and the fire cycle (R = 0.893), whereas this correlation is negative for black spruce (R = 0.753) and jack pine (R = 0.807) (Spearman correlations). Jack pine is confined to regions having a short fire cycle, while black spruce can seemingly maintain itself with or without fire. The exclusion of white spruce hinterland seems to be mainly due to a short fire cycle; however, other factors, such as soil development and species abundance, presumably have a marked influence on the distribution of this species.

Abstract:

The Corvet Est gold deposit is hosted by Archean rocks of the Superior Province in the James Bay region, northern Quebec, Canada. The Marco zone is hosted by amphibolite-grade, strongly foliated volcanic rocks and consists of disseminated gold, with an apparent thickness ranging from 1.8 to 39.5 m and gold grades up to 23 g·t–1 over 1 m, that is continuous along strike for ∼1.3 km. The lithotectonic sequence comprises footwall basaltic andesite amphibolite overlain by a lenticular unit of metadacite and then by hanging-wall basaltic andesite amphibolite, all intruded by quartz–feldspar porphyry dikes. Dacite, basaltic andesite amphibolite, and quartz–feldspar porphyry show a calc-alkaline to transitional affinity and plot in the plate margin arc basalt field, with typical volcanic arc trace element patterns. Mineralization consists of pyrite, arsenopyrite, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, and gold, disseminated in deformed dacite, in andesite amphibolite, and in quartz–feldspar porphyry dikes. Dacite and andesite display weak alteration characterized by silicification. Native gold forms inclusions in metamorphic quartz, garnet, feldspar, arsenopyrite, and pyrite or free grains interstitial to quartz, feldspar, pyrite, chalcopyrite, and arsenopyrite. Free gold in late quartz veins cut the sericitized metamorphic fabric. Inclusion and interstitial native gold within minerals annealed during metamorphism shows that gold mineralization is pre- to syn-metamorphic, with some gold remobilized in later veins. Rhenium–osmium dating of arsenopyrite yields an isochron age of 2663 ± 13 Ma for mineralization and a weighted average model age of 2632 ± 7 Ma for arsenopyrite formed during peak metamorphism. The ∼2663 Ma arsenopyrite has a low initial 187Os/188Os of 0.19 ± 0.10, suggesting a juvenile crust or a mantle Os source. The sulfur isotope composition of Marco zone pyrite and arsenopyrite shows that sulfur could have been leached from its volcanic host rocks or from reduction of Archean seawater. The Corvet Est deposit is interpreted to be an orogenic gold deposit (2663 Ma) deformed and recrystallized during amphibolite-grade metamorphism (2632 Ma).

Abstract:

Based on examination of the holotype specimen, Phytoseius macropilis (Banks) is redescribed and its identity clarified. Fifty-nine specimens of "macropilis" from Ontario and Quebec, Canada, and from the eastern United States were examined to determine their conspecificity with macropilis using principal components analyses and a multivariate discriminant analysis. Twenty morphometric characters were used in the analyses. Results of the analyses confirmed the conspecificity of Ohio specimens with macropilis. Thirty-seven of the 59 specimens are confirmed as macropilis and range in distribution from North Carolina to the James Bay region. The remaining 22 specimens are reidentified as Phytoseius delicatus Chant. Most of the specimens of P. macropilis were collected from the "deciduous" forest region and their host plants tend to be of dry, upland areas.

Abstract:

Catches per unit of effort (CPUE) with experimental gill nets, recruitment, growth, and condition were monitored between 1977 and 1992 to evaluate the impact of impoundment on the main fish species of La Grande 2, Opinaca, and Caniapiscau reservoirs and the Boyd–Sakami diversion. CPUE and recruitment of northern pike (Esox lucius) and lake whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis) increased markedly at most stations after impoundment and decreased at the end of the series. The lake whitefish and cisco (Coregonus artedii) showed their most striking rise in CPUE at two bay stations of La Grande 2 and Opinaca reservoirs. CPUE and recruitment of the longnose sucker (Catostomus catostomus), white sucker (Catostomus commersoni), and lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) (Caniapiscau) showed a general decrease following impoundment. CPUE for the walleye (Stizostedion vitreum) also decreased at several stations; however, the two most southerly stations in La Grande 2 reservoir and the Boyd–Sakami station showed high CPUE during the series. Concentration–redistribution phenomena explain part of the observed variations in CPUE. Correlation analyses showed that walleyes and white suckers were attracted to the warmer, more turbid stations, and that the high primary and secondary productivity of bay stations attracted the coregonines. Growth and condition of the main species increased during variable time intervals after impoundment and decreased at the end of the series.

Abstract:

The Eeyou Marine Region Land Claims Agreement (EMRLCA) with the James Bay Cree of northern Quebec contains a novel approach to achieving certainty in treaties with Indigenous peoples. For the federal government, the certainty of having the rights of an Indigenous nation exhaustively set out in one document is the benefit derived from treaties. Unlike Aboriginal rights, which the government views as ambiguous and hard to define, treaties are negotiated agreements that clearly outline rights. The goal of government when negotiating treaties is therefore to ensure that the Indigenous group can only exercise treaty rights and not their pre-existing Aboriginal rights which are recognized by the common law and the Constitution Act, 1982.

Abstract:

We used satellite-tracked transmitters in 2001 and 2003 to document the timing, location, and extent of molt migrations by female Canada Geese (Branta canadensis) affiliated with the Atlantic Flyway Resident Population (AFRP) of Canada Geese that breed in the temperate region of eastern North America. Twenty-seven adult females were captured during the nesting period in late May and fitted with a satellite transmitter mounted either on a plastic neck collar or backpack harness. Nests of 24 birds were destroyed late in incubation to prevent renesting and ensure nest failure; three females did not have nests. Twelve of the 27 birds (44%) made a northward migration to molt in northern Quebec, Canada: seven to the eastern coast of Hudson Bay (58°12'N, 76°60'W), three to lowland areas east of James Bay (53°30'N, 79°02'W), and two to interior locations south of Ungava Bay (55°54'N, 68°24'W). Molt migrants were present in northern Quebec from June to September, a period that coincides with breeding ground aerial surveys and banding operations conducted for Atlantic Population (AP) Canada Geese that breed in this same region of northern Quebec. With >1 million AFRP geese estimated in the Atlantic Flyway, the potential exists for substantial numbers of yearling, sub-adult, and nest-failed or non-breeding adults to molt migrate to northern breeding areas and bias efforts to survey and mark AP geese. Within AFRP breeding areas, many local flocks have reached nuisance levels. We hypothesized that by inducing molt migration in breeding adults, through destruction of nests late in incubation, we would lessen recruitment, reduce numbers of summer resident adults with young, and increase adult mortality from hunting. However, molt migration behavior was not uniform throughout our study area. Molt migrants were from rural areas in New York, Pennsylvania, and Vermont, whereas marked birds that did not make molt migrations were from more coastal regions of the flyway. The 14 birds that did not make a molt migration remained within 60 km of their banding site. A genetic comparison of these two groups revealed no detectable differences. We conclude that failure to undergo a molt migration is likely attributed to the historical origin of captive-reared birds of mixed subspecies that comprise AFRP flocks in the eastern regions of the flyway and the availability of quality local habitat, distinct from brood-rearing areas, for molting.

Abstract:

The traditional medicinal plant, Labrador tea (Rhododendron groenlandicum(Oeder) Kron & Judd; Ericaceae), present in the pharmacopoeia of the Cree of Eeyou Istchee, has shown glitazone-like activity in the 3T3-L1 adipogenesis bioassay. This activity has been attributed to phenolic compounds, which have been shown to vary in this plant as a function of insolation parameters. The goal of this study was to determine if these changes in phenolic content were pharmacologically significant. Leaves were harvested in 2006 throughout the James Bay region of Northern Quebec and ethanol extracts were testedin vitrousing the 3T3-L1 murine cell line adipogenesis bioassay. This traditional medicinal plant was found active in the assay. However, there was no detectable spatial pattern in the accumulation of intracellular triglycerides, suggesting that such patterns previously observed in the phenolic profile of Labrador tea were not pharmacologically significant. Nonetheless, a reduction in the adipogenic activity was observed and associated with higher concentrations of quercetin for which selected environmental variables did not appropriately explain its variation.

Full text

Abstract:

Measurements at some 300 cross-striated sites in the Abitibi–Timiskaming area of Quebec and Ontario revealed two former directions of ice flow: an older west-southwest one (230–270°) in the extreme western part of the area, and a younger, widespread south-southwest one (180–220°) in the region west of the Harricana – Lake McConnell glaciofluvial complex. These sets of older striae, whether one or both on the same outcrop, are almost everywhere crossed by marks of a younger ubiquitous flow to the south-southeast (130–170°). On the basis of striae directions measured below an older till and of three dates obtained from intertill (below the surficial till) nonglacial sediments in the Timmins and Matheson areas in Ontario and the Selbaie mine area in Quebec, the oldest west-southwest (230–270°) striae are tentatively associated with the west-southwest flow that deposited this lowermost till in early to mid-Wisconsinan time or earlier.The Harricana – Lake McConnell glaciofluvial system extends from James Bay to the vicinity of North Bay Ontario and probably continues farther south to the Lake Simcoe area. It is strictly an interlobate deglaciation feature and does not result from the converging flows of two coalescing glaciers. At the last glacial maximum the dominant ice-flow direction in the area was probably toward the southwest, across the space occupied by this glaciofluvial system, confirming the flow lines shown by most models of the late Wisconsinan ice sheet. Because none of the cross-striated outcrops showing marks of the former south-southwest (180–220°) and of the last south-southeast (130–170°) movements show evidence of differential weathering and because glacial transport was due to the former southwest movement at several locations, it is proposed that the cross-striations result from the same ice mass subjected to (1) a general change in flow direction from the southwest to the southeast and (2) a complete scission that led ultimately to the deposition of the Harricana – Lake McConnell glaciofluvial system in the interlobate position.

Abstract:

The Cree communities of James Bay are at risk for contracting infectious diseases transmitted by wildlife. Data from serological testing for a range of zoonotic infections performed in the general population (six communities), or trappers and their spouses (one community), were abstracted from four population-based studies conducted in Cree territory (Quebec) between 2005 and 2009. Evidence of exposure toTrichinellaspecies,Toxoplasma gondii,Toxocara canis,Echinococcus granulosus,Leptospiraspecies,Coxiella burnetiiandFrancisella tularensiswas verified in all communities, whereas antibodies against Sin Nombre virus and California serogroup viruses (Jamestown Canyon and snowshoe hare viruses) were evaluated in three and six communities, respectively. Seroprevalence varied widely among communities: snowshoe hare virus (1% to 42%),F tularensis(14% to 37%),Leptospiraspecies (10% to 27%), Jamestown Canyon virus (9% to 24%),C burnetii(0% to 18%),T gondii(4% to 12%),T canis(0% to 10%),E granulosus(0% to 4%) andTrichinellaspecies (0% to 1%). No subject had serological evidence of Sin Nombre virus exposure. These data suggest that large proportions of the Cree population have been exposed to at least one of the targeted zoonotic agents. The Cree population, particularly those most heavily exposed to fauna, as well as the medical staff living in these regions, should be aware of these diseases. Greater awareness would not only help to decrease exposures but would also increase the chance of appropriate diagnostic testing.

Abstract:

A total of 1267 specimens (from 87 stations) of the johnny darter, Etheostoma nigrum, were studied to examine the geographic variation in the numbers of pores on the preoperculomandibular canal. The pore count is bimodal for the total sample. These modes correspond to distinct geographic regions. Fishes from northern Ontario (west and north of Lake Nipigon), Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan usually have 7 or fewer pores (mode = 6). Populations from northern Ontario (east and south of Lake Nipigon), southern Ontario, Quebec, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Maryland, Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and the Lower Peninsula of Michigan have 8 or more pores (mode = 9). The differentiation between morphs predates their present distribution and the morphs probably occupied distinct geographic areas within the Mississippi refugium during the last glaciation. Etheostoma nigrum dispersed north, following two postglacial routes: (i) via the Mississippi River to Lake Agassiz (12 800 years BP) then eastward to the Hudson Bay and James Bay drainages via Lake Barlow–Ojibway (9500 years BP), and (ii) via a northeastern spread from the Great Lakes and Ohio River drainages to the St. Lawrence River and Ottawa River drainages (12 000 years BP).

Abstract:

Mountain ash (Sorbus decoraandS. americana) is used by the Cree Nation of the James Bay region of Quebec (Eeyou Istchee) as traditional medicine. Its potential as an antidiabetic medicine is thought to vary across its geographical range, yet little is known about the factors that affect its antioxidant capacity. Here, we examined metabolite gene expression in relation to antioxidant activity, linking phytochemistry and medicinal potential. Samples of leaf and bark fromS. decoraandS. americanawere collected from 20 populations at four different latitudes. Two genes known to produce antidiabetic substances, flavonol synthase and squalene synthase, were analyzed using quantitative real time PCR. Gene expression was significantly higher for flavonol synthase compared to squalene synthase and increased in the most Northern latitude. Corresponding differences observed in the antioxidant capacity of ethanolic extracts from the bark ofSorbusspp. confirm that plants at higher latitudes increase production of stress-induced secondary metabolites and support Aboriginal perceptions of their higher medicinal potential. Modern genetic techniques such as quantitative real time PCR offer unprecedented resolution to substantiate and scrutinise Aboriginal medicinal plant perception. Furthermore, it offers valuable insights into how environmental stress can trigger an adaptive response resulting in the accumulation of secondary metabolites with human medicinal properties.

Full text

Abstract:

Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) is a non-intrusive geophysical observation method based on propagation and reflection of high-frequency electromagnetic waves in the shallow subsurface. The vertical cross-sectional images obtained allow the identification of thickness and lithologic horizons of different media, without destruction. Over the last decade, several studies have demonstrated the potential of GPR. This paper presents a review of recent GPR applications to peatlands, particularly to determine peat stratigraphy. An example study of acquisition and comparison of peatland soil thickness of a fen-dominated watershed located in the James Bay region of Quebec, using (1) a meter stick linked to a GPS RTK and (2) a GSSI GPR, is given. A coefficient of determination ( r2) of 56% was obtained between the ordinary krigings performed on data gathered using both techniques. Disparities occurred mainly in the vicinity of ponds which can be explained by the attenuation of GPR signal in open water. Despite these difficulties – the higher time required for analysis and the error margin – it seems more appropriate to use a GPR, instead of a graduated rod linked to a GPS, to measure the peat depths on a site like the one presented in this study. Manual measurements, which are user-dependent in the context of variable mineral substrate densities and with the presence of obstacles in the substrate, may be more subjective.

Full text

Abstract:

Abstract The filling of the second reservoir, LG3, in the James Bay hydroelectric development has resulted in a number of small induced earthquakes up to magnitude 3.7. The activity has occurred in two main areas, one of which can be associated with the previously mapped LG3 fault and the other with the intersection of two dominant regional structures. The significant induced activity started 7 months after filling commenced, when the water depth had reached 64 m, and continued for another 11 months. After a lull of about 6 months, a short burst of events, much more energetic than that during filling, occurred probably on the LG3 fault after a 2 m lowering of the water level. A further episode of seismicity occurred in the spring of 1984, also during the lowering of the water level. Based on the data available, it is suggested that postfilling seismicity permits one to isolate two classes of reservoirs from the general population of reservoirs, those with seismicity associated with refilling and those with seismicity associated with lowering water levels. LG3 belongs to the latter class where seismicity recurrs during lowering of a few meters of water.

Abstract:

The rights of aboriginal peoples may vary from one part of the country to the other. This stems from the origin of Canada, its history, its Imperial and the Constitutional Statutes which have determined the territorial evolution of Canada. The terms of the Quebec Act seem to limit the hunting territories of the Indians to that part of Quebec which was not a part of the Colony in 1763. While a federal law extinguished all aboriginal rights in the territory covered by the James Bay agreements, the amendment of 16 March 1983 may have, for Quebec, important legal consequences in that these agreements may be held to be treaties.

Abstract:

The September 5, 1987, landslide at kilometre 82.5 on La Grande River affected a slope about 60 m high inclined at about 35°. The site had been identified as presenting high risks of a major landslide and had been under observation for several years. The conditions existing before the landslide are relatively well documented from a deep boring put down in 1975 at the slide location and from prior observations and photographs of the river bank erosion. The overburden deposit, sand at the ground surface changing to a silty clay at depth, was normally consolidated but affected by a strong underdrainage. Stability analyses confirm the strong underdrainage deduced from the 1975 piezometric reading. The slide retrogressed 290 m from the river on a surface inclined at 6°. The location of the retrogression surface appears related to the undrained shear strength profile. Key words: landslide, earthflow, sensitive clay, groundwater, river erosion, slope stability.

Abstract:

Directional glacial erosional marks located systematically on the southwest side of rock outcrops in the Chibougamau and Lac Mistassini areas in west-central Quebec indicate unequivocally a sustained regional event of southeast ice flow prior to the last or regional southwest flow from New Quebec. Striations from the former ice flow are consistently oriented at around 120° azimuth and are observed, albeit at scattered occurrences, within an area covering thousands of square kilometres. Although the age of the southeast ice flow event cannot be determined, it is considered more likely to be of Wisconsinan age on the basis of the well preserved state of its features and the lack of deep weathering on surfaces where these are observed. It is suggested that the early ice flow event might have been fed by a local outflow centre on the east side of James Bay, perhaps extending as a ridge east of Hudson Bay.

Abstract:

Objective To examine the type of psychiatric disorders found in 100 Cree children living in a Native community in northern Quebec. Method Standardized semi-structured interviews were given to all children and their caregivers, collecting 24 items of information. Results 51% of the children did not qualify for a DSM-III-R diagnosis but their frequently severe behavioural symptoms could be categorized by using 5 types of socio-cultural disturbances. There were also significant correlations between parental educational level, including length of time spent away from home, and the number of stress factors the children had been exposed to. Conclusion There is a need to develop a diagnostic classification for child psychiatric disorders for aboriginal children.

Abstract:

AbstractIn 1975, the Bourassa government received legal advice that the James Bay Northern Quebec Agreement exceeded provincial jurisdiction. Legal counsel advised the constitutionality of the Agreement be secured through formal constitutional amendment. No such amendment was sought. Based on authorized access to Premier Bourassa’s archived dossier on the Agreement’s negotiation, this article sets out the following: 1) why the provincial government sought to encroach on federal jurisdiction; 2) the strategic means employed to insulate the Agreement from s. 91(24) litigation; and 3) provincial negotiators’ views on how judges would approach the Agreement going forward. This article confirms theoretical expectations about when governments might coordinate to transgress federalism’s division of powers: a high probability that courts would find a transgression occurred, and a high political cost should governments not coordinate on a transgression strategy.

Résumé. Les théories de la gouvernance à paliers multiples ont tendance à minimiser le rôle du droit dans la structuration des systèmes de gouvernance. Or, la juxtaposition de deux évolutions récentes en matière de gouvernance territoriale au Québec, la gouvernance partagée avec les Autochtones et le projet de régionalisation du gouvernement du Québec, remet ce postulat en question. En effet, la protection constitutionnelle dont bénéficient les clauses de gestion territoriale de traités comme la Convention de la Baie James et du Nord québécois et, plus récemment, l'obligation de consulter découlant de l'arrêt Nation haïda, assurent aux Autochtones un pouvoir plus important que celui qui est offert aux acteurs régionaux par le gouvernement du Québec.Abstract. Multi-level governance theories have a tendency to minimize the role of law in shaping governance systems. The study of two instances of territorial governance in Quebec, shared governance with the aboriginal peoples and the Quebec government's regionalization initiative, puts this premise in question. The constitutional protection afforded to the land management provisions of the James Bay and Northern Quebec Agreement and, more recently, to the duty to consult flowing from the Haida Nation case give the aboriginal peoples more power than that recognized to regional actors under the Quebec government's initiative.

Abstract:

Des lignes directrices et des pratiques exemplaires visant à faire participer les peuples autochtones des régions arctiques à la recherche biophysique sont publiées depuis les années 1990. Malgré ces lignes directrices, les scientifiques généraux ont toujours de la difficulté à créer des relations de travail efficaces avec les peuples autochtones et à les faire participer à leurs recherches. Nous avons fait face à cet enjeu quand nous avons visité trois collectivités de la côte ouest de l’Alaska pour étudier les événements climatiques percutants et la formation de « bermes de bouillie de glace » susceptibles de protéger les localités des ondes de tempête. Quand nous avons essayé de nouer des liens avec les résidents des diverses localités, nous avons constaté que les lignes directrices actuelles sont souvent utiles pour nous indiquer quoi faire (par exemple, elles mettent l’accent sur l’importance des communications face à face), mais les chercheurs doivent aussi penser à comment le faire (les compétences) et à comment se présenter (attributs personnels). Pour prouver aux Autochtones qu’ils valorisent et respectent leur culture, les chercheurs pourraient apprendre à employer du vocabulaire qui est compréhensible et qui tient compte d’une démarche de collaboration au lieu d’une démarche hiérarchique du sommet à la base. Il faudrait que nous soyons prêts à adapter nos emplois du temps et à aider la collectivité que nous visitons au lieu de nous concentrer seulement sur nos propres besoins. Il faudrait aussi considérer les avantages pour la collectivité et nous assurer que les résidents comprennent la recherche que nous faisons et soient satisfaits. Parmi les attributs nécessaires pour ces travaux de recherche, notons la curiosité, l’honnêteté, la sensibilisation aux besoins d’autrui, l’empathie, la flexibilité et l’ouverture d’esprit. Même si les compétences et les attributs dont il est question ici aident à combler l’écart entre les cultures, nous tenons à souligner qu’aucune formule particulière ne garantit le succès.

Abstract:

Background: Indigenous populations are disproportionately affected by traumatic brain injury (TBI). These populations rely on large jurisdiction surveillance efforts to inform their prevention strategies, which may not address their needs. This study describes the TBI determinants of a Quebec indigenous population, the Cree served by the Terres-Cries-de-la-Baie-James health region, and compares them to the determinants of two neighbouring health regions and the entire Province of Quebec. Methods: We conducted a retrospective population-based cohort study of incident TBI hospitalizations, stratified by the aforementioned health regions, in Quebec from 2000-2012. MED-éCHO administrative data were used for case finding. A sub-analysis of the Terres-Cries-de-la-Baie-James adults was completed to assess for determinants of TBI severity and outcomes. Regression models, multiple imputations and a sensitivity analysis were used to account for biased associations. Results: 172 incident TBI hospitalizations occurred in the Terres-Cries-de-la-Baie-James region from 2000-2012. The incidence rate was 92.1 per 100,000 person-years and the adjusted IRR was 1.86 (95% CI 1.56-2.17) when compared to the entire province. Determinants of TBI for the Terres-Cries-de-la-Baie-James were significantly different from those of neighboring populations and the entire province. Conclusions: TBI surveillance information from large jurisdiction initiatives can be misleading for indigenous communities. Community-based surveillance provides evidence that these populations should use to prioritize prevention strategies.

Abstract:

Restriction fragment length pattern analysis of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) was used to assess genetic differentiation in sympatric lake sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens) from the St. Lawrence River drainage basin (St. Lawrence and Ottawa rivers and Lac des Deux Montagnes) and in sturgeon from the Waswanipi River (James Bay drainage basin). Using 14 restriction enzymes on mtDNA from 82 specimens, the genetic divergence was relatively low (d = 0.219–0.744%), as only three genotypes were found. Genotype 1 is present at all sites whereas genotype 2 is present only in Lac des Deux Montagnes and the Ottawa and Waswanipi rivers. The St. Lawrence River sturgeon form a homogeneous genotypic group that was not found significantly different from sturgeon from Lac des Deux Montagnes. The genetic heterogeneity seemed higher in the James Bay drainage population than in the St. Lawrence drainage populations that probably have been more significantly influenced by overfishing and man-made habitat changes.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTThe distribution and levels ofClostridium botulinumtype E were determined from field sites used by Inuit hunters for butchering seals along the coast of Nunavik. The incidence rates ofC. botulinumtype E in shoreline soil along the coast were 0, 50, and 87.5% among samples tested for the Hudson Strait, Hudson Bay, and Ungava Bay regions, respectively. Spores were detected in seawater or coastal rock surfaces from 17.6% of butchering sites, almost all of which were located in southern Ungava Bay. Concentrations ofC. botulinumtype E along the Ungava Bay coast were significantly higher than on the coasts of Hudson Strait and Hudson Bay, with the highest concentrations (270 to 1,800/kg of sample) found near butchering sites located along the mouths of large rivers. The Koksoak River contained high levels ofC. botulinumtype E, with the highest median concentration (270/kg) found in sediments of the marine portion of the river.C. botulinumtype E was found in the intestinal contents (4.4%) and skins (1.4%) of seals. A high genetic biodiversity ofC. botulinumtype E isolates was observed among the 21 butchering sites and their surroundings along the Nunavik coastline, with 83% of isolates (44/53) yielding distinct pulsed-field gel electrophoresis genotypes. Multiple sources ofC. botulinumtype E may be involved in the contamination of seal meat during butchering in this region, but the risk of contamination appears to be much higher from environmental sources along the shoreline of southern Ungava Bay and the sediments of the Koksoak River.

Abstract:

Abstract. The eastern coastline of James Bay (Eeyou Istchee) is known to be home to beds of subarctic eelgrass (Zostera marina L.). These eelgrass beds provide valuable habitat and food source for coastal and marine animals and contribute valuable ecosystem services such as stabilization of the shoreline all along the coast. Despite reports from Cree communities that eelgrass bed health has declined, limited research has been performed to assess and map the spatial distribution of eelgrass within the bay. This study aims to address that issue by evaluating the capability of Landsat-8 Operational Land Imager (OLI) imagery to establish a baseline map of eelgrass distribution in 2019 in the relatively turbid waters of Eeyou Istchee. Three images acquired in September 2019 were merged and classified using Random Forests into the following classes: Eelgrass, Turbid Water, Highly Turbid Water, and Optically Deep Water. The resulting classified image was validated against 108 ground truth data that were obtained from both the eelgrass health and Hydro-Quebec research team. The resulting overall accuracy was 78.7%, indicating the potential of the Random Forests classifier to estimate baseline eelgrass coverage in James Bay using Landsat-8 imagery. This project is part of a Cree driven project, the Coastal Habitat Comprehensive Research Program (CHCRP). The CHCRP aims to combine Cree's traditional knowledge with Western science to better understand environmental changes in the coastal ecosystems and ecosystem services of eastern James Bay. The study is funded by a MITACS grant sponsored by Niskamoon Corporation, an indigenous non-profit organization.

Abstract:

Fog and low visibility present a natural hazard for aviation in the Hudson Bay region. Sixteen communities on the eastern and western shores of Hudson and James Bays, Canada, were selected for fog, ice fog, and low visibility statistical analyses for a range of 21 to 62 year time series. Both fog hours and ice fog hours were found to be in general decline, with some locations experiencing statistically significant declines. Spatial asymmetries for fog and ice fog were observed among the various areas within the Hudson Bay region. The more northerly locations in this study experienced statistically significant declines in fog hours while the southerly locations’ declines were not significant. Fog was significantly declining in some western Hudson Bay locations during spring and fall and in James Bay during winter and summer, but minimal trends were observed in eastern Hudson Bay. For ice fog hours, all of the locations in the western shore of Hudson Bay experienced a significant decline in winter while only one-third of the locations in eastern shores were found to be declining significantly during winter. Blowing snow, snow, ice and fog were the leading causes for reduced and low visibilities at the majority of the locations. Other factors such as rain contributed a minor role to low visibility.

Full text

Abstract:

In the 18th century the Indigenous peoples of the James Bay region shared land near the coast, a few resources, and furs from a vast hinterland with European newcomers. The Royal Proclamation of 1763 excluded Rupert’s Land – an appropriate decision for it was quite distinct from lands in the south where settlers were acquiring Indigenous land on the fee simple real estate model. What were the James Bay indigenous people’s conditions for sharing their land? It was arguably their principles, and not King George’s edict, that characterized the year 1763 at Moose Fort (Moose Factory). This paper draws on Hudson’s Bay Co. records to examine what was being shared with the newcomers in this northern region. Unlike in the southern regions, the newcomers had no intention of displacing Indigenous peoples. A modest sharing of land and a generous sharing of food and fur resources, on terms congenial to its first inhabitants, characterizes 1763 in this northern region.

Full text

Abstract:

Varved clays deposited in proglacial Lake Ojibway at Matagami, Quebec, were derived from two source areas: carbonate-deficient, Precambrian crystalline igneous rocks from New Quebec to the east and carbonate-rich Palaeozoic rocks from the James Bay lowlands in Ontario to the west. About 50% of the 12–15 m thick clay section consists of varved clays containing less than 3% carbonate, reflecting the New Quebec source. The remaining 50% of the section consists of two pulses of carbonate-enriched varves (15–30% carbonate) derived from rock flour in two glacial advances known as Cochrane I and Cochrane II, which advanced to within 20 km of Matagami.The clays are preconsolidated at the site by a combination of desiccation, groundwater level drawdown, and bonding, in such a way that σp′ is almost constant at 70 kPa at depths from 3.5 to 10 m.High in situ water contents correlate with thinner, low-carbonate, distal varves of high activity. The est correlations are obtained for relative activity, Ac(rel), defined as plasticity index ÷ specific surface area (Ip ÷ SS). Carbonate seems to have effectively neutralized smectite in the Cochrane proximal varves, rendering the distal varves (of New Quebec source) the most active clays at the site. Key words: varved clay, activity, carbonate, turbidity currents, glacial geology.

The spatial distribution of these diagnostic rings was studied along a south-north and a west–east transect in several sites extending from the northern limit of the Boreal Forest Region to the tree line. Data showed an increase in the number and frequency of light-ring years among populations along the south–north transect but little variations along the west–east transect.

Full text

Abstract:

This essay examines the shifting relationship between Quebecois and Indigenous nationalism, tracing a historical path from post-Quiet Revolution Quebec to the signing of the “La Paix des Braves” document in 2002. Nationalist attitudes in Quebec were initially hostile towards their Indigenous counterparts, due to the Indigenous push of a three-nation conception of Canada which undermined the Quebecois dualist English-French founding narrative upon which Quebecois nationalist claims rested. This essay argues that Quebecois nationalist attitudes have grown more accepting over time in response to popularization of the three-nation conception of Canada, and that Quebec’s unique hybrid position as a decolonizing nation and a settler-colonial nation has allowed it to do so through recognition of Indigenous peoples as co-colonized by the Canadian state. This shift from aggression to tolerance is shown through examinations of historical moments such as the James Bay Agreement, the Meech Lake and Charlottetown Accords, and the Oka Crisis.

The Opinaca spillway is one of the concrete structures of the EOL (Eastmain – Opinaca – La Grande) project within the "La Grande" hydroelectric complex at James Bay, Quebec. Three rivers were diverted to the La Grande River to increase the hydroelectric potential of the LG 2 power plant. Opinaca spillway is a reinforced concrete structure 28.7 m wide and 46.6 m long with intake and restitution channels excavated in the rock. This paper describes the different construction phases of the spillway with emphasis on rock excavation and support, grouting, concreting, and quality control.

Full text

Abstract:

Zircon ages from three granitoid plutons are the first to be reported from the La Grande greenstone belt. Two of the dated samples are from highly tectonized, early tectonic plutons that at the present level of erosion are just outside the greenstone belt proper. Their zircon ages of ca. 2740 Ma are emplacement ages or alternatively represent the age of maximum deformation of the greenstone belt. The third sample is from a mildly deformed late tectonic pluton within the greenstone belt. Its zircon age of ca. 2670 Ma probably represents the emplacement age. The above dates and the relationships of the dated plutons to the greenstone belt as a whole suggest that the bulk of the volcanism in the La Grande belt is older than 2.7 Ga. This limiting age indicates that the age of the La Grande "supracrustals" is similar to those of the other greenstone belts in the Superior Province.
