Subject field(s)
  • Art History and Theory
  • Indigenous Arts and Culture
OBS

[History of Inuit Art :] Historical Overview of Epochs... People have been living in the Yukon region for almost 30 000 years and their history can be separated into several epochs : Pre-Dorset, Dorset, Thule, Historic and Contemporary.... The Historical Period[. ] This period is marked by several occurrences : the demise of Thule culture, a climatic change wherein weather was increasingly cold, the disappearance of the whales and the arrival of the white man in the 16th century. Around 1800, the various carvings, dolls, and toys were being traded with the whalers, sailors and explorers who were making increasingly frequent visits in the area. Trade art often was more detailed and exquisite than non-trade art of the time. By the early twentieth century, trade art had lost the magico-religious element and some areas even produced European objects such as Roman Catholic figurines, cigarette boxes, and cribbage boards. Increasingly, Inuit art forms were suited toward Europeans.

Record 3 2015-05-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • Meteorological Forecasting, Data Measurement and Analysis
OBS

Depending on individual climate observing programs and climate element, weather observations at a climate station are recorded at three basic intervals : Hourly : indicates data values for observations taken on an hourly basis. Daily : indicates data values for observations taken once in a 24-hour period. Monthly : are averages for each month, derived from daily data values.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Prévisions météorologiques et mesure et analyse des données
OBS

Selon les programmes d'observation climatologique appliqués et l'élément climatique observé, les observations météorologiques à une station climatologique peuvent être faites à trois intervalles de base : Horaire : les valeurs de données sont relevées sur une base horaire. Quotidien : les valeurs de données sont relevées une fois par période de 24 heures. Mensuel : moyennes pour chaque mois, tirées des valeurs des données quotidiennes.
