CANADIAN ARCTIC EXPEDITION 1913-18 REPORTS

Ces rapports, qui comptent 16 volumes et 64 articles, relèvent du domaine de recherche effectuée par l'Expédition canadienne dans l'Arctique, sous le commandement de Vilhjalmur Stefansson et la direction du ministère du Service naval et de la Commission géologique, ministère des Mines. M. Stefansson et l'Équipe nord sont demeurés dans la région de la mer de Beaufort et l'archipel arctique de 1913 à 1918, alors que l'Équipe sud circonscrivait sa recherche à la partie continentale de l'Arctique et aux îles adjacentes, de 1913 à 1916. L'Équipe sud était sous la supervision immédiate de M. Rudolph Martin Anderson, qui représentait le Musée national du Canada de la Commission géologique et il est devenu l'éditeur général de tous les Canadian Arctic Expedition Reports. Ne sont mentionnés ci-après que les rapports qui concernent la recherche anthropologique effectuée par l'Équipe sud. Ils sont brochés et uniquement en anglais.

Les renseignements de plusieurs des livres qui suivent sont présentés tels que publiés avant 1974. Ainsi, elles peuvent inclure des terminologies qui, de nos jours, sont considérées inexactes ou inconvenantes.

The Southern Party was under the immediate supervision of Dr. Rudolph Martin Anderson who represented the National Museum of Canada of the Geological Survey and became the general editor of all the Canadian Arctic Expedition Reports. Listed below are only those reports pertaining to the anthropological research conducted by the Southern Party. They are paper bound and in English only.

For many of the following books the captions appear as originally published prior to 1974. They may include terminology not considered correct or appropriate today.




JENNESS, Diamond, 1922. The Life of the Copper Eskimos. Report of the Canadian Arctic Expedition 1913-18, Volume XII: The Copper Eskimos, 277 pages, 9 photographs, 69 illustrations, 2 maps.

The work is divided into two parts: 41 Alaskan stories followed by 52 tales of the Copper Eskimo. The Alaskan stories are more sophisticated and are longer and more detailed; the author attributes this difference to the fact that story-telling is a favourite pastime in Alaska whereas among the Copper Eskimo there appears to be very little interest in the old traditions.

More than 140 string illustrations from Barrow, Siberia, Mackenzie Delta, and Bernard Harbour are described. The arrangement of illustrations follows the order to their opening movements. A secondary arrangement follows the order of their distribution.

Songs collected at Bernard Harbour, Dolphin and Union Straits from individuals of nearby parts of the Copper Eskimo area, gathered at Dolphin Strait to trade with the expedition. Hence the collection illustrates fairly adequately the characteristic features of the music and especially the importance of the dance songs.
