Inuvialuit Place Names Project
FY 2021-22 · 2021-04-01
Summary
The Inuvialuit Place Names Project collects, verifies, and circulates a remarkable collection of archival Inuvialuit place names, drawn from research reports, audio recordings, maps, and other sources recorded over the last 40 years. The primary goal of this project is the establishment of a linguistically robust, authoritative, and community-controlled source of Inuvialuit place names for use by Inuvialuit Regional Corporation agencies tasked with conducting land-use planning and impact assessment reviews, as well as Inuvialuit community members seeking a greater understanding of and connection with the Inuvialuit Settlement Region (ISR). The finalized place name records will be disseminated through a variety of mediums and this consolidated place name resource will then be used to highlight areas which would benefit from a supplementary round of place name documentation studies carried out in the third year of the project.

Program Name (French)
Programme d’application des connaissances polaires
Program Purpose
This Program aims to lead the mobilization of polar science and technology into action. CHARS will "analyse and disseminate polar knowledge from its Science and Technology Program, as well as that from current federal, territorial and other stakeholders, and investments to inform management, programming and policies; promote Artic science and technology nationally and internationally; and build capacity through training, outreach, and learning opportunities. This will ensure polar knowledge is relevant to stakeholders and builds a science culture in Canada.
Program Purpose (French)
Ce programme vise à guider la mise en pratique des sciences et de la technologie polaires. POLAIRE analysera et diffusera le savoir polaire obtenu par l’entremise de son programme de sciences et de technologie ainsi que des intervenants fédéraux, territoriaux et autres et elle réalisera des investissements afin d’orienter la gestion, les programmes et les politiques; elle fera la promotion des sciences et de la technologie arctiques à l’échelle nationale et internationale; et elle renforcera les capacités grâce à des possibilités de formation, de diffusion et d’apprentissage. Ainsi, l’accent sera mis sur le savoir polaire qui est utile aux intervenants et aux collectivités autochtones, et qui développe une culture scientifique au Canada qui intègre le savoir local et autochtone.

Description (French)
Le Projet de toponymie inuvialuite recueille, vérifie et diffuse une remarquable collection de toponymes inuvialuits archivés, tirés de rapports de recherche, d’enregistrements audio, de cartes et d’autres sources consignées au cours des 40 dernières années. L’objectif principal de ce projet est d’établir une source de toponymes inuvialuits solide sur le plan linguistique, faisant autorité et contrôlée par la communauté, à l’intention des organismes de la Société régionale inuvialuit chargés de la planification de l’utilisation des terres et de l’examen des études d’impact, ainsi que des membres de la communauté inuvuialuite qui cherchent à mieux comprendre la région désignée des Inuvialuit et à mieux s’y intégrer. Les enregistrements toponymiques finalisés seront diffusés par divers moyens, et cette ressource toponymique unifiée sera ensuite utilisée pour mettre en évidence les zones qui bénéficieraient d’études de documentation toponymique supplémentaires au cours de la troisième année du projet.
