Acknowledgements
David Gray gratefully acknowledges the Polar Continental
Shelf Project (formerly part of the Department of Energy,
Mines, and Resources, now Natural Resources Canada) for the
generous and efficient logistical support of the Canadian
Museum of Nature's Arctic hare research programs between 1985
and 1992.
David Gray also gratefully acknowledges the contributions
of Theresa Aniscowizsc, Connie Downs, David A. Gill and Heather
Hamilton, who assisted with Arctic hare fieldwork and photography
at Sverdrup Pass, Ellesmere Island, and Polar Bear Pass, Bathurst
Island (both now in Nunavut). David especially acknowledges
the many and varied contributions of David Gill, who shared
many exciting moments of hare-watching and the unique life
of the small Arctic research camp at Sverdrup Pass. David
Gill also managed the Museum's High Arctic Research Station
at Polar Bear Pass during the course of this study. S.D. MacDonald
encouraged and inspired David Gray's studies of Arctic mammals.
During the short research time in Newfoundland and Labrador
in 2004, Mack Pitcher at Salmonier Nature Park shared his
experiences with captive Arctic hares and took David Gray
to a hare release site at the Hawk Hills Ecological Reserve.
Con Finlay of Trepassey generously shared his anecdotes and
photographs of Arctic hares in captivity and on Brunette Island.
We would like to thank Thomas Angoshadluk, Simeoni Hakuluk,
Francis Kaput, and David Oolooyuk of Rankin Inlet, Nunavut,
for sharing their experiences with Arctic hares and permitting
us to use their video-taped interviews on this Web site.
We would also like to thank the many carvers, Elders, friends,
guides, hunters, students, teachers and wildlife officers
in several Arctic communities (Nunavut: Grise Fiord, Iqaluit,
Kugluktuk, Rankin Inlet, Resolute Bay; Northwest Territories:
Holman) who helped in many different ways. Carlie Gray provided
a home base for the work in Rankin Inlet and Sally Gray assisted
with fieldwork and photography in Rankin Inlet and Newfoundland.
