“Eskimo Woman Held for Murder Goes Insane,” Ottawa Journal. May 22, 1941. Page 12. ---- 'Mina' Drove Four Children to Die In Arctic Snow ---- A woman, one of three Eskimos held at Moosonee, Ont., on charges of murder growing from an outbreak of violence which cost at least nine lives on lonely Belcher Islands in James Bay, has become violently insane, it was learned here today. 

Sources here said the woman became violent yesterday and today was to be placed on hoard a train and taken to an institution in Toronto. No Facilities at Moosonee Reason for the woman's removal to Toronto was that at Moosonee, on James Bay, there are no adequate facilities for treatment of such cases.

Royal Canadian Mounted Police brought the Eskimos to Moosonee some time ago and charged them With murder after a patrol that took the policemen to Belcher Islands where they investigated reports of violence that, took at least nine lives. 

Started Over Religion The investigation is not yet completed. But it was understood the outbreak occurred during a controversy over religion. 

Some of the dead were children, believed to have been driven out into the wintry snows where they died of exposure.

The woman, known only as Mina, was alleged to have drive four children, aced from six to 13, out into the snow to die during the height of the violence which raged among the Eskimo encampments on Belcher Islands this year. 

The three Eskimos were held at Moosonee in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police guardroom, while weather conditions prevented continuation of the investigations into the deaths on the lonely, islands in Hudson Bay. 

Men Shot Other Eskimos. The two male prisoners were accused of shooting other Eskimos. When the police investigations are resumed on the islands in the near future three other Eskimos will be sought for questioning, following a controversy over the. interpretation of the New Testament

Mina and the other accused were flown to Moosoonee in a mounted police 'plane which left the Belcher Islands just as break-up of ice about the shores began and the ski-equipped, machine could wait no longer. 

Drift ice about the islands prevents the landing of a seaplane at present and continued investigation must wait.

It was expected that inquests would be held on the islands when the inquiry resumed and there was the possibility that the accused might face at least preliminary trial on the islands.

[AL: These events became known as the Belcher Island Murders, as two men, convinced their were Satan and God, killed nine other people.]

"Kennedy Stewart"

Last time we said:

Tar—West[jet]—Kennedy

which, frankly, seemed like it was going to score. But no. Apparently not.

or

"Van. Mayor Kennedy Stewart"

where Dead President is Harry, Wet is Mamph or Peep or Blunts and Star is Mojo.

?

"Mayor"

The SkyTrain's Canada Line provides rapid rail service linking YVR to downtown Vancouver and parts of Richmond. 

Is that not enough? If not then:

or

because Sky Regional is defunct and Sanikiluaq Airport is a leap too far—literally and figuratively.

Oh, you mean...

where Sky High is Spice and Skywalker is Mo. I see.

Sorry, it's taking me a while to catch up.

But I don't think you mean that.

I guess it's also:

The Belcher Islands

In the heart of Hudson Bay, the Belcher Islands are an archipelago made up of more than 1,500 islands spread out over an area of more than 13,000 square kilometers. In this false-color image taken by the Landsat satellite in 2001, the archipelago appears as fluid brush strokes of green and magenta. The green hues represent the meager vegetation around the islands, while the magenta represents the smattering of rock that is too soil-deficient to sustain any trees or shrubbery. The real-color image shows more clearly the scarce, jagged landscape that makes up the islands. Out of the 13,000 square kilometers occupied by the archipelago, only about 3,000 square kilometers is dry land. The islands are made up of folded metasedimentary rocks — rocks that show both sedimentary and metamorphic characteristics. Sediments and grains that are weathered off from larger rocks due to wind or water can be cemented back together and hardened over time to from sedimentary rocks. These sedimentary rocks were exposed to intense heat and pressure, causing the folded texture visible in today's metamorphosed outcrops. Geologists estimate the ages of these metasedimentary rocks to be close to 2.3 billion years old.

Metamorphosed rocks tend to be quite resistant to extended periods of weathering and erosion, even though the archipelago’s fragile appearance might lead some to believe otherwise. Its flimsy countenance is due to the last major ice age during the Pleistocene Epoch, from 2 million years ago to about 12,000 years ago. Glaciers had covered vast areas of North America, which weighed down on the crust and caused land to fall below sea level — a process known as subsidence. When the glaciers finally melted, the subsided land slowly began to rise back above sea level — the reverse process known as uplift. The Belcher Islands are the result of uplift, an incredibly slow and continuous process on par with the movement of tectonic plates.

Despite the scarcity of the islands, an Inuit community resides in the administrative township of Sanikiluaq. With agriculture of any kind being out of the question, the 800-strong population relies on hunting for food, clothing, and other amenities. The Inuit have been residents of the Belcher Islands for centuries, based on artifacts and old dwellings left behind by pre-Inuit communities, such as the Thule and Dorset cultures.

“Insane Eskimo Brought Here,” Globe and Mail. May 23, 1941. Page 4. ---- Woman One of 3 Held on Charges of Murder ---- An Eskimo woman known only as Mina, one of three arrested on charges of murder following an outbreak of violence on Belcher Island in James Bay, will arrive in Toronto today for treatment at an institution.

The women, reported to be travelling in irons, became violently insane after being taken into custody. There are no adequate facilities for treatment at Moosonee where they were held.

Nine persons died in the sudden and as yet unexplained outburst of savagery last February.

The three Eskimos were brought to Moosonee a few weeks ago on murder charges after a Royal Canadian Mounted Police patrol had investigated the scene of the killings at the lonely Belcher Islands.

The women is alleged to have driven four children between the ages of six and thirteen out into the snow where they died, presumably of exposure. Police believe the outbreak occurred during a controversy over interpretation of the New Testament.

The two male prisoners are accused of shooting other Eskimos.

Investigation at the scene of the killings was disrupted by weather conditions but it is expected that inquests will be held on the Islands when the inquiry resumes.

Killer Whales Are Expanding into the Arctic, Then Dying as the Ice Sets In

Richard Kemeny - February 14, 2019

In February 2016, hunters from Sanikiluaq, Nunavut spotted two killer whales prowling around a group of beluga whales in southeast Hudson Bay. It was an unusual sight for the time of year—killer whales don’t usually show up there until the summer, and are rare even then. In June, residents of the Inuit community spotted two other killer whales. By July, all four killer whales were dead. Trapped in the bay by thick sea ice, they starved to death.

Hudson Bay is a geographically complex inland sea with just two entrances—or exits—both at the north. Most years, the bay freezes over completely from mid-November until mid-July. Killer whales are typically found in the open ocean, but in recent years they have been venturing into the bay during the ice-free summer in search of prey such as belugas or narwhals. As the ice forms across the bay’s entrances in the fall, the only escape for the whales is to swim north. But this goes against their normal instincts, says Steve Ferguson, an evolutionary ecologist from the University of Manitoba. In the open ocean, killer whales would head south, where there is typically less ice. The result is that the killer whales find themselves trapped long into the winter, and, soon after, begin to starve.

Around the world, and especially in the Arctic, changing environmental conditions are offering up new habitats to animals willing to venture into the unknown. These killer whales may have been locals from the northeastern Canadian Arctic that were exploring Hudson Bay for the first time, or newcomers that moved into the region from afar—scientists aren’t sure. Either way, the lack of sea ice in the bay—which is setting in later, and over a smaller area, than in previous decades—was the fake floor hiding a deadly trap.

In fact, these four dead whales are just the latest in a rising tally. In 2011, a killer whale was found frozen in ice in the north of the bay. In 2013, an estimated 17 killer whales were seen swimming in the frigid water, their movements tightly constrained by the drifting pack ice. Most, if not all, of these whales are thought to have died. As far as scientists know, in the Arctic, more killer whales have died in the ice over the past decade than have suffered such a fate over the past century.

To find out exactly how the four killer whales died in 2016, Cory Matthews, a marine ecologist with Fisheries and Oceans Canada, along with Ferguson and other colleagues, analyzed samples of skin, blubber, muscles, and teeth that Sanikiluaq residents shipped to their lab in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Evidence pointed toward starvation as the cause of death. Cell fluid had condensed in the blubber, and skeletal muscle fiber had wasted away. Higher levels of nitrogen isotopes in muscle compared to skin—an observation seen in other animals undergoing extreme nutritional stress—supported this hypothesis.

The team estimates the killer whales could have survived on fat reserves for around 50 days, so they must have found at least some food to have lasted as long as they did. But whether the belugas on which the killer whales were feeding managed to escape, or there simply weren’t enough to tide them over until the ice thawed, the killer whales eventually starved.

“Killer whales are super smart; they pass things on culturally,” says Matthews. Yet these killer whales are naively swimming into the warming bay. If none survives the winter freeze, the warning to stay away can’t be passed on. “If you wipe out an entire group it could take time, not just to recuperate their abundance but to gain the knowledge back,” Matthews says.

As animals—killer whales included—expand their ranges and lengthen their stays in the Arctic, ecologists are watching for the potential consequences. In western Alaska, for example, the fragile food chain topped by polar bears and human hunters is being intruded upon by this apex predator in the sea. But Matthews and his colleagues argue that killer whales dying trapped by ice may slow their expansion—and could be noticeably harming their numbers.

Paul Wassmann, a marine ecologist from the Arctic University of Norway, says that the killer whales venturing into the Arctic for the first time may be particularly at risk of getting lost in the ice as they’ve yet to learn how to tackle the new environment.

“This could be a pretty significant source of mortality for these whales,” Matthews says. He estimates that only around 70 killer whales live in the northeastern Canadian Arctic. Ferguson agrees that there could have already been a pretty big impact, as even just the four dead killer whales in 2016 is a proportionately high toll for that local population. “I’m curious how many sightings of killer whales we’ll see over the next few summers,” Matthews says.
