Mrs. Duval threading needle [William Duval's wife, Aulaqiaq. Although blind, she was still able to thread the needle and sew.]
Pangnirtung, Northwest Territories (Current day Nunavut), 1946 Library and Archives, Government of Canada. Archives/Collections and Fonds - Item ID #3192235 (x)
Aulaqiaq was the second wife of German-born American whaler, William Duval. Duval had his first whaling expedition to Arctic Canada in 1879, leaving back to the United States in 1883, and finally permanently returning to the north in 1884. William integrated well into Inuit society, as he became fluent in Inuktitut and was given the name of Sivutiksaq (which translates as harpooner).
Aulaqiaq and William had four children, two of whom survived childhood (daughters Towkie and Alookie, born around 1900 and 1902, respectively). Aulaqiaq and William still have many descendants in Baffin Island region of Nunavut currently.
Unfortunately, I could not find much information on Aulaqiaq herself, aside from her marriage to William Duval, and the children they had together.

🎶You're out of touch/I'm out of time🎵
Two years since the Canadian government tweeted and deleted their message that's it's illegal to harvest storm lobsters. I mean fishing is a sport, and the other team just isn't ready, it's unsportsmanlike to grab your opponent while they're jet lagged.

On Parliament Hill, where budgets grow
Among the chambers, row on row
That mark their place, so up high
Room for peasants, there is nigh
Scarce heard amid the fun below
We are the fed, short days ago
We spent like hell to maintain budget flow
On Parliament Hill
Take on our sorrows, we feel low
Didn't get a 4th annual vacation to Mexico
You the taxpayer, must hold us high
Even when all beneficial legislation dies
We sleep on the job while budgets grow
On Parliament Hill

Americans not giving a shit about the wildfires burning down forests and homes in Canada until smoke starts spreading across the border. Meanwhile Indigenous communities across the country are far more likely to be impacted by the fires and I’ve seen all of one link to a charity and about nine million memes. 🙃
#yeah yeah hashtag notallamericans or whatever the fuck#I’m just irritated watching people whine or centre themselves#like sorry your clothes smell like smoke gladys but people have lost their fucking homes#and the government does fuck all for indigenous communities#so you know who’s gonna end up getting more aid#but sure brad can’t go out for his usual morning jog because of the canadians#also all these fucking news articles making ir about america as if canada has somehow done this on purpose out of spite#someone buy me a punching bag for my birthday thanks#artschoolrambles

If the U.S & Canada weren't afraid of their own Indigenous peoples getting our landback, they wouldnt be calling the military on us everytime we so much as peacefully protest to not have our water poisoned, but they do. They're terrified of us. That's part of WHY the U.S and Canada is supporting Isntreal, because it justifies their own colonial existence and reinforces colonialism here too.
#i do enjoy that post but the detail 'Native Americans don't pose a threat to The U.S and Canada' isn't correct#if we didn't pose a threat to these colonial governments then they wouldn't do anything when we push back

For years, the people of the Kitasoo/Xai’xais First Nation watched over their waters and waited. They had spent nearly two decades working with Canada’s federal government to negotiate protections for Kitasu Bay, an area off the coast of British Columbia that was vulnerable to overfishing.
But the discussions never seemed to go anywhere. First, they broke down over pushback from the fishing industry, then over a planned oil tanker route directly through Kitasoo/Xai’xais waters.
“We were getting really frustrated with the federal government. They kept jumping onboard and then pulling out,” says Douglas Neasloss, the chief councillor and resource stewardship director of the Kitasoo/Xai’xais First Nation. “Meanwhile, we’d been involved in marine planning for 20 years – and we still had no protected areas.”
Instead, the nation watched as commercial overfishing decimated the fish populations its people had relied on for thousands of years.
Nestled on the west coast of Swindle Island, approximately 500km north of Vancouver, Kitasu Bay is home to a rich array of marine life: urchins and abalone populate the intertidal pools, salmon swim in the streams and halibut take shelter in the deep waters. In March, herring return to spawn in the eelgrass meadows and kelp forests, nourishing humpback whales, eagles, wolves and bears.
“Kitasu Bay is the most important area for the community – that’s where we get all of our food,” Neasloss says. “It’s one of the last areas where you still get a decent spawn of herring.”
So in December 2021, when the Department of Fisheries and Oceans withdrew from discussions once again, the nation decided to act. “My community basically said, ‘We’re tired of waiting. Let’s take it upon ourselves to do something about it,’” Neasloss says.
What they did was unilaterally declare the creation of a new marine protected area (MPA). In June 2022, the nation set aside 33.5 sq km near Laredo Sound as the new Gitdisdzu Lugyeks (Kitasu Bay) MPA – closing the waters of the bay to commercial and sport fishing.
It is a largely unprecedented move. While other marine protected areas in Canada fall under the protection of the federal government through the Oceans Act, Kitasu Bay is the first to be declared under Indigenous law, under the jurisdiction and authority of the Kitasoo/Xai’xais First Nation.
Pictured: "In some ways, I hope someone challenges us" … the Kitasoo/Xai’xais stewardship authority.
Although they did not wait for government approval, the Kitasoo did consult extensively: the declaration was accompanied by a draft management plan, finalised in October after three months of consultation with industry and community stakeholders. But the government did not provide feedback during that period, according to Neasloss, beyond an acknowledgment that it had received the plan...
Approximately 95% of British Columbia is unceded: most First Nations in the province of British Columbia never signed treaties giving up ownership of their lands and waters to the crown. This puts them in a unique position to assert their rights and title, according to Neasloss, who hopes other First Nations will be inspired to take a similarly proactive approach to conservation...
Collaboration remains the goal, and Neasloss points to a landmark agreement between the Haida nation and the government in 1988 to partner in conserving the Gwaii Haanas archipelago, despite both parties asserting their sovereignty over it. A similar deal was made in 2010 for the region’s 3,400 sq km Gwaii Haanas national marine conservation area.
“They found a way to work together, which is pretty exciting,” says Neasloss. “And I think there may be more Indigenous protected areas that are overlaid with something else.”

I like to think about someone asking if theres any X men that are Canadian, thinking that they'd be nice, kind, quiet and caring only for them to glance at Logan who's on his 17th beer at 8:30 am and is agressivly doing push ups for fun while Wade, who's half naked laying on top of him telling him about a weird dream he had, and is literally spinning around a butterfly knife-also for fun.
This being said- Apparently Marvel universe Canada produces absolute BAD asses. And not only that but they ended up married too. What are the fucking odds?
#deadpool and wolverine#poolverine#logan howlett#deadpool#wade wilson#deadpool 3#wolverine#LETS GO CANADA#RAAAAHHHHH#no but seriously wtf#Wade 🤝Canadians that ended up in new york somehow for absolutely no reason other then hiding from the government🤝 Logan
