Eskimo commercial fisheries

Abstract

Arctic char, long a favourite food with the Eskimos, has recently been finding a ready market throughout Canada and the United States. With the increasing concentration of Eskimo populations in settlements, and with their increasing dependence on “white man's” food and equipment, it has become essential to stimulate means of increasing cash income. It was with this in mind that the Department of Northern Affairs and National Resources carried out an experimental project to introduce Arctic char to the southern market in 1958. During the season, about 1,500 lb. were shipped on ice to Montreal and Toronto by air, and were distributed to a number of the best restaurants. Its reception by customers was so enthusiastic that a repeat order for more than the original 1,500 lb. was received in a matter of days.

Whistleblower Memoirs: Deconstructing Data Consultants’ Insider Stories

“…Being part of this proliferation of memoirs as “marketable commodity and a part of discourses about personal identity” (Rak, 2013, p. 6), whistleblowers’ memoirs are advertised as offering extraordinary, close-up encounters with the author. In interrogating these recollections—notably, Edward Snowden’s (2019) Permanent Record , Christopher Wylie’s (2019) Mindf*ck: Inside Cambridge Analytica’s Plot to Break the World , and Brittany Kaiser’s (2019) Targeted: The Cambridge Analytica Whistleblower’s Inside Story of How Big Data, Trump, and Facebook Broke Democracy and How It Can Happen Again —we are interested in the strategies that help whistleblowers to craft their experiences and revelatory stances into self-focused narratives. This shifts our attention away from questions of truthfulness and authenticity, which are notoriously difficult to answer for memoirs, and toward a deconstruction of memoirs as forms of a “narratively shaped identity” (Lahusen, 2019, p. 633).…”

Citizen empowerment through smart surveillance: evidence from Indian smart cities

“…Common modes of surveillance deployed by smart city municipalities include video surveillance (Subudhi et al , 2019), online surveillance (Snowden, 2019), biometric surveillance (Ross et al , 2020), geolocation surveillance and aerial surveillance (Gohari et al , 2022).…”

The weaponization of private corporate infrastructure: Internet fragmentation and coercive diplomacy in the 21st century

“…of State, Hillary Clinton, 2010 “..the companies themselves are American and are subject to American law. The problem is, they’re also subject to classified American policies that pervert law and permit the US government to surveil virtually every man, woman, and child who has ever touched a computer or picked up a phone.” - Edward Snowden, 201 9 (Snowden, 2019)…”

“…As stated by Snowden, “It’s not just the Internet’s infrastructure that I’m defining as fundamentally American—it’s the computer software (Microsoft, Google, Oracle) and hardware (HP, Apple, Dell), too. It’s everything from the chips (Intel, Qualcomm), to the routers and modems (Cisco, Juniper), to the Web services and platforms that provide email and social networking and cloud storage (Google, Facebook, and the most structurally important but invisible Amazon, which provides cloud services to the US government along with half the Internet)” (Snowden, 2019 p.128).…”
