Permafrost Thaw, Infrastructure and Indigenous Communities: Lessons from Alaska

The US Army Corps of Engineers-funded research presentation will also connect with other sessions that have been focusing on northern food security like Art Borups Corners, which have been taking place in Winnipeg since 2021.

Incubating Minnesota and Manitoba research collaboration: From art galleries to chocolate shops, creative leadership and climate entrepreneurship research supported by the Minneapolis College of Art and Design is bringing Manitoba, Minnesota and Nunavut communities closer together.

Incubating Minnesota and Manitoba research collaboration: From art galleries to chocolate shops, creative leadership and climate entrepreneurship research supported by the Minneapolis College of Art and Design is bringing Manitoba, Minnesota and Nunavut communities closer together. This is an example of climate change and arts research friendshoring.

The Permafrost Pathways Project with the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. will present for Arctic Congress 2024. Part of the Defense Resiliency Platform Against Extreme Cold Weather, this presentation documents the 3-D visualization and measurement of features in the CRREL permafrost tunnel in Fox, Alaska, using a Matterport Pro-3 LiDAR camera.

This exciting presentation, led by Dr. Olaf Kuhlke is part of Session: 2.1.2 Permafrost Thaw, Infrastructure and Indigenous Communities: Lessons from Alaska, will take place on May 31, 2024 from 11:00 to 12:30 in Hall Two at the Fram Cinema. 

The first planning meeting for Niriqatiginnga took place on July 1, 2022 at Chocolatier Constance Popp in St. Boniface, Winnipeg!

The presentation will also connect with other sessions that have been focusing on northern food security like Art Borups Corners, which have been taking place in Winnipeg since 2021. The Permafrost Pathways and Art Borups Corners projects have been collaborating for three years in places ranging from the Qaumajuq to St. Boniface chocolate shops, in Winnipeg Manitoba. The Niriqatiginnga sessions will include presentations from the University of Alaska Fairbanks such as:

Economic consequences of food spoilage in Alaskan rural supply chains by authors: Michael Jones – University of Alaska Anchorage and Genevieve Bostwick – University of Alaska, Anchorage. Their session: 3.5.4 Niriqatiginnga: Fostering Food Security and Innovation for Northern Supply Chains will take place at the Scandic Bodø Hotel – Room: Ambassadør 1, 31/05/2024, 13:30 – 15:00.

As well, the Alaskan and Canadian session will learn from a detailed analysis of seasonally dynamic food price disparities across Alaska. We model these large disparities in absolute and relative terms between Anchorage and remote Alaskan communities, providing key insight for food security and broader geographic cost differential analysis. This disparity underscores the unique economic and logistical challenges faced by remote Alaskan areas.

In summer 2022, established and emerging artists from British Columbia, Northwestern Ontario, Minnesota, Nunavut, the Northwest Territories and Manitoba were able to come together in Winnipeg to learn alongside an inclusive, diverse team of researchers, arts educators and culture sector workers.

With Manitoba, Nunavut, Minnesota and Alaskan projects coming together for Arctic Congress 2024, there are many calls for enhancing collaboration with these world-class participatory and climate change adaptation initiatives.

Cataloguing Workshop

Jamie Bell September 29, 2025
What does it mean to be a person of dignity? How do we build a kinder, more compassionate world? This collection of 20 heartwarming and engaging stories, created by young authors, is a thoughtful exploration of these big ideas. From a compassionate squirrel who learns to share his winter stash to a young girl who discovers the power of helping others, these tales offer simple yet profound lessons about the importance of kindness, respect, and community. The book was written for fun as part of a youth literacy program, and the authors hope you enjoy these stories. Inspired by the five guiding principles of Global Dignity Canada, these stories remind us that dignity isn't just an abstract concept; it is an action we can choose to take every day. It's a perfect read for families, classrooms, and anyone who believes in the power of a single good choice to change the world.
