Northern Waterways:
Northern waterways is a lands and resources website devoted to river stewardship, northern history and culture, filmmaking, and canoeing information for arctic and subarctic waterways in northern Canada and Alaska. We started this site to communicate more widely with others, and to share our experiences about living, visiting, and canoeing in the North. We maintain a series of links on northern history, culture, and canoeing; a custom google search engine; a northern lands and resources book collection and digital library, and are planning several future filmmaking trips to Nunavut and northern Canada. We established our site in the Fall of 2006, and plan to include other films, photo essays, and canoeing resources in the coming years.
We currently have room to grow, and welcome additional contributions. We seek an alternative to cataloging experiences and attempt to provide a personal vision of seeing, hearing, and relating to the land through visual media, written narratives, photographs, stories from northern communities, and building an archive of events, people, and institutions in the news (through our blog). We look to bring together a variety of interests: video, anthropology, canoeing, social and political issues, sustainable development, and the technology of travel and video documentary work. We are particularly interested in the rivers of Nunavut and the Northwest Territories: Back, Coppermine, Dubawnt, Hanbury, Hood, Horton, Kazan, Nahanni, Noatak, Thelon, Yukon, and more. If you have an idea for a resource suggestion or a film, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are a strong supporter of independent media. To be informed about updates, please contact us to be added to our list, or check back again for future films and additional information about northern rivers, cultural resources, First Nations communities, northern wildlife, travel information, parks, gear, and cinematography.
