CARC Northern Perspectives: Caribou topic of current issue

The latest from the Canadian Arctic Resources Committee focuses on caribou. Here's the link:

CARC_Northrn_Perspectives_spring_07.pdf (application/pdf Object)

Excerpt from the first article "What Price Caribou?"

The caribou has much to recommend it as a national
symbol. Although it is mostly found in the vast herds of
barren-ground caribou that roam the territories
and northern parts of some provinces, there are
also small populations of woodland caribou
scattered across the country. It has a regal
bearing and imposing appearance, but is a
peaceful vegetarian. As already noted, it is primarily
an animal of the north, and Canadians,
although concentrated heavily in the southern
sun-belt of the country, like to think of
themselves as northern. There is, however, one
problem with identifying too strongly with the caribou
as a national symbol: its numbers appear to be dwindling.

Other articles include:

Industry and Caribou: Can They Co-Exist?

Travelling Caribou Art Exhibit

Hello

Jasper National Park celebrates its Centennial this year and at the same time it is feared that there is less than 100 Caribou left in the Park...

SO

In 2005 a call was put out to artists across Canada to build a traveling (migrating) art exhibition - theme Caribou. The show (herd) is now together and opens in the Buffalo Nations Museum in Banff on August 1 2007 - Albertas Heritage Day.

The hope is that this project as it travels will educate viewers about the need to keep wild places wild for the next centuries...it is called TUKTU PRAYERS. Tuktu is inuit for Caribou and the prayer is that there will be caribou for the next century.

www.tuktuprayers.com tells you more.

Please link us to your site - there are two artists from Whitehorse in the exhibition - Jane Isakson and Joyce Majiski.

It would be nice to tell you local newspaper of the evolution of the show - for those local artists. If you have that contact information I would appreciate it.
