Abstract

Place names, also known as toponyms, are a fundamental part of our cultural and geographical environment. Like many Indigenous groups, Inuvialuit in what is now northwestern Canada use place names to describe the landscape, guide and warn travellers, and convey important cultural information (Hart 2011, 9). Many efforts are underway to document, restore and promote the use of Indigenous toponyms in Canada, including their submission to provincial and territorial naming authorities (Inuit Heritage Trust 2016). A related means of raising the profile of Inuvialuit place names is their inclusion on maps that are readily accessible to the public. In their ten calls to action for natural science researchers working in Canada, Wong et al. (2020) underscore the need for Indigenous place names to be incorporated, with permission, in maps and text associated with scientific research to recognize the stories and Indigenous Knowledge behind the names (777). This paper is a step in addressing this call to action by presenting the results of an analysis of Inuvialuktun-language place names in the Tuktoyaktuk area. The analysis examines how readily the names are identified in official, and popular non-official sources and discusses implications for promoting Indigenous Knowledge more broadly.
评估因纽维阿鲁克顿地名在在线地图中的收录情况
地名,也称为地名,是我们文化和地理环境的基本组成部分。与许多土著群体一样,现在加拿大西北部的因纽特人使用地名来描述景观,引导和警告游客,并传达重要的文化信息(Hart 2011,9)。加拿大正在进行许多努力来记录、恢复和促进土著地名的使用,包括将其提交给省级和地区命名当局(因纽特人遗产信托基金会,2016年)。提高因纽特人地名知名度的一个相关手段是将其列入公众易于获取的地图上。在为在加拿大工作的自然科学研究人员发出的十项行动呼吁中,Wong等人(2020)强调,在获得许可的情况下,需要将土著地名纳入与科学研究相关的地图和文本中,以识别名称背后的故事和土著知识(777)。本文介绍了对图克托亚克图克地区因纽特人地名的分析结果,是回应这一行动呼吁的一步。该分析考察了这些名字在官方和流行的非官方来源中被识别的容易程度,并讨论了对更广泛地推广土著知识的影响。
