Before the 1500’s, the western plains of North America were dominated by farmers One group, the Mandans, lived in the upper Missouri River country, primarily in present – day North Dakota They had large villages of houses built close together The tight

arrangement enabled the Mandans to protect themselves more easily from the attacks of

others who might seek to obtain some of the food these highly capable farmers stored from one year to the next

The women had primary responsibility for the fields They had to exercise considerable skill to produce the desired results, for their northern location meant fleeting growing seasons Winter often lingered; autumn could be ushered in by severe frost For good measure, during the spring and summer, drought, heat, hail, grasshoppers, and other frustrations might await the wary grower

Under such conditions, Mandan women had to grow maize capable of weathering adversity They began as early as it appeared feasible to do so in the spring, clearing the land, using fire to clear stubble from the fields and then planting From this point until the first green corn could be harvested, the crop required labor and vigilance

Harvesting proceeded in two stages In August the Mandans picked a smaller amount

of the crop before it had matured fully This green corn was boiled, dried and shelled, with

some of the maize slated for immediate consumption and the rest stored in animal – skin

bags Later in the fall, the people picked the rest of the corn They saved the best of the harvest for seeds or for trade, with the remainder eaten right away or stored for alter use in

underground reserves With appropriate banking of the extra food, the Mandans protected

themselves against the disaster of crop failure and accompany hunger.

The woman planted another staple, squash, about the first of June, and harvested it near the time of the green corn harvest After they picked it, they sliced it, dried it, and strung

the slices before they stored them Once again, they saved the seeds from the best of the

year’s crop The Mandans also grew sunflowers and tobacco; the latter was the particular task of the older men

Climate change and the Canada's Inuit people

A Unusual incidents are being reported across the Arctic Inuit families going off on

snowmobiles to prepare their summer hunting camps have found themselves cut off from

insulating properties as the snow drips and refreezes, of lakes draining into the sea as permafrost melts, and sea ice breaking up earlier than usual, carrying seals beyond the reach

of hunters Climate change may still be a rather abstract idea to most of us, but in the Arctic

it is already having dramatic effects - if summertime ice continues to shrink at its present rate, the Arctic Ocean could soon become virtually ice-free in summer The knock-on effects are likely to include more warming, cloudier skies, increased precipitation and higher sea levels Scientists are increasingly keen to find out what's going on because they consider the Arctic the 'canary in the mine' for global warming - a warning of what's in store for the rest

of the world

B For the Inuit the problem is urgent They live in precarious balance with one of the

toughest environments on earth Climate change, whatever its causes, is a direct threat to their way of life Nobody knows the Arctic as well as the locals, which is why they are not content simply to stand back and let outside experts tell them what's happening In Canada, where the Inuit people are jealously guarding their hard-won autonomy in the country's newest territory, Nunavut, they believe their best hope of survival in this changing environment lies in combining their ancestral knowledge with the best of modern science This is a challenge in itself

C The Canadian Arctic is a vast, treeless polar desert that's covered with snow for most of

the year Venture into this terrain and you get some idea of the hardships facing anyone who calls this home Farming is out of the question and nature offers meagre pickings Humans first settled in the Arctic a mere 4,500 years ago, surviving by exploiting sea mammals and fish The environment tested them to the limits: sometimes the colonists were successful, sometimes they failed and vanished But around a thousand years ago, one group emerged that was uniquely well adapted to cope with the Arctic environment These Thule people moved in from Alaska, bringing kayaks, sleds, dogs, pottery and iron tools They are the ancestors of today's Inuit people

D Life for the descendants of the Thule people is still harsh Nunavut is 1.9 million square

kilometres of rock and ice, and a handful of islands around the North Pole It's currently home to 2,500 people, all but a handful of them indigenous Inuit Over the past 40 years, most have abandoned their nomadic ways and settled in the territory's 28 isolated communities, but they still rely heavily on nature to provide food and clothing Provisions available in local shops have to be flown into Nunavut on one of the most costly air networks

in the world, or brought by supply ship during the few ice-free weeks of summer It would cost a family around £7,000 a year to replace meat they obtained themselves through hunting with imported meat Economic opportunities are scarce, and for many people state benefits are their only income
