In the extreme northernmost part of Canada, lying between North Latitudes 56° and 68° and West Longitudes 88° and 112°, is an area of about 400,000 square miles, which had up to the past two years remained geologically unexplored.In 1892 the Director of the Geological Survey of Canada sent the writer to explore the country north of Churchill River, and south-west of Lake Athabasca;in1893 the exploration was continued northward, along the north shore of Athabasca Lake

This essay reflects the recent trend among historians to assign an active role to both the Indians of the North-West Territories and the government during the Numbered Treaty process. The aboriginal peoples and the Canadian government entered the Treaty negotiations hoping to achieve dichotomous ends. Concerned over white settlement and diminishing buffalo herds, the Indians sought to use the concessions granted them under the Treaties to ensure their cultural survival. The government, on the other hand, considered the Numbered Treaties a means of achieving the goal of their Indian policy, namely bringing about the assimilation of the Indian into Euro-Canadian society.

<p>The Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) boundary marks one of the five major mass extinctions of the Phanerozoic. A bolide impact and flood basalt volcanism compete as triggers for the extinction, but their relative roles remain contentious. This is in part related to a paucity of robust measurements of temperature change at millennial time scales across the K-Pg boundary. Using the distribution of branched tetraether lipids in samples collected from coals (fossil peats), we present the initial findings of an ongoing study attempting to reconstruct temperatures across North America in the latest Cretaceous to earliest Paleogene. The glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraether (brGDGTs) palaeotemperature proxy – which has been successfully applied to temperature reconstructions in the Pleistocene and Holocene – is being applied to a succession of fossil peats (lignites) that span the K-Pg boundary at ten sites from Colorado in the south to the North West Territories in the north. The Iridium anomaly that is synonymous with bolide impact at the K-Pg boundary can be used as a datum to correlate the coals. Data derived from coals deposited at a latitude of ~55 °N in Saskatchewan (Canada), are interpreted to reveal millennial-scale records of terrestrial mean annual air temperature (MAAT) for an interval spanning the latest Maastrichtian and earliest Paleogene. The MAAT record peaks at 28 °C ~1 ka (+ 4 ka/- 0.3 ka) after the K-Pg boundary, and subsequently recovers to pre-event values in the subsequent ~ 5 ka (+30 ka/-2 ka). Our unique record is consistent with an abrupt increase in atmospheric CO2 that has been widely documented at this time. </p>
