By promoting Indigenous tourism, [the] actions seek to create opportunities for Indigenous communities to share their stories and cultural heritage with a broader audience, while also generating economic benefits. This approach helps to address historical injustices by providing a platform for Indigenous voices and perspectives, while simultaneously encouraging mutual respect and understanding between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples. Indigenous tourism also plays a crucial role in preserving and revitalizing traditional practices, languages, and art forms, contributing to cultural continuity and strengthening community pride.

CONT

Works of art and historical treasures are property that has cultural, aesthetic, or historical value that is worth preserving perpetually. Works of art and historical treasures would not be recognized as tangible capital assets in government financial statements because a reasonable estimate of the future benefits associated with such property cannot be made. Nevertheless, the existence of such property should be disclosed.

CONT

Les œuvres d'art et trésors historiques sont des biens qui ont une valeur culturelle, esthétique ou historique qu'il vaut la peine de conserver en perpétuité. Les œuvres d'art et trésors historiques ne seront pas comptabilisés comme des immobilisations corporelles dans les états financiers du gouvernement, parce qu'il est impossible d'estimer de façon raisonnable les avantages futurs liés à de tels biens. Il convient néanmoins de déclarer l'existence de ces biens.

[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.

The heritage value of this historical property stems not only from the undeniable architectural quality of the church, but also the liturgical furniture it contains. The many pieces stored in the vault or which can be observed in the chapel itself actually distinguish the liturgical art of New France's beginnings.

La valeur de ce bien historique ne tient pas uniquement à la qualité architecturale de l'église mais aussi au mobilier liturgique qu'elle renferme. En effet, les multiples pièces entreposées dans la voûte ou que l'on peut observer dans la chapelle témoignent de l'art liturgique du début de la Nouvelle-France.

OBS

Ne pas confondre le meuble, un objet mobile de forme rigide et servant à l'aménagement de locaux, avec le mobilier, un ensemble de meubles destinés à cette fin. Pour être un équivalent correct, il faudrait recourir à «meubles liturgiques», terme moins approprié cependant pour désigner ce qui se trouve à l'intérieur d'une église.

The ability of one side to obtain essential and key elements of truth while denying these same elements of truth to the other side.

CONT

Arming for the data wars. The news and data streaming endlessly through computers is a big business in its own right. Last year, the four main companies-Bloomberg, Bridge, Dow Jones and Reuters-together collected $4. 4 billion of sales for providing the information that lubricates the workings of the financial markets. What makes each service unique is the historical data it offers and the number-crunching software it provides for customers to analyse the data. If, say, a fund manager has a peculiar hunch that price swings in French shares might affect the way American municipal bonds fluctuate, he needs decades of prices and a sophisticated way to process them. A vendor that can provide him only two years of stock prices will not meet his needs. Although Reuters’ breadth of information remains unmatched, it has yet to master the art of supplying historical data packaged up with analytical software. For now, that market belongs to Bloomberg.
