Document Summary
Bone identifies this region as the yukon, nwt, and nunavut. Mccann/peace include parts of the north of saskatchewan, ontario, quebec, and labrador. The region faces challenges and issues which symbolize the nation"s sense of purpose and suggest the course of its future development (bone, 2003, 1). Images brought to mind when contemplating this region are identity, landscape, resources, the last frontier", sense of nordicity and isolation. There is a political focus around the boundaries but the images are mostly environmental and psychological. The resources available here present an economic focus. 52. 4% aboriginal provides a cultural focus for the region. Only 0. 3% of canada"s population live in this region that makes up 39% of canada"s area and. In 2011, just over 10000 people lived here. Challenges included that the roads being mapped now won"t exist in the summer and there are few indicators of public/private roads, steep street gradients, etc.
