Toponyms contain Indigenous modes of understanding and reflect ecological histories and deep relationships between Indigenous communities, arctic environments, time, and land. Completed toponymic studies are useful for researchers to access; however, they are notoriously difficult to find. Many are completed by community groups and published on their websites or completed by government agencies and published as grey literature. An inventory of toponym projects has not existed, and eliciting what has been completed where, with whom, and by whom has required long searches through academic and grey literature. In this paper, we inventory Indigenous toponymy projects in the Canadian North, and document our efforts to produce a publicly accessible index where toponymy projects can be found via maps. New or unknown resources can be added by users. Our purpose, here, is to document the production of this resource and to increase awareness of toponymical resources among communities, researchers, scientists, and other stakeholders. We reflect on knowledge gained through construction of the index and make observations on trends in Inuit toponym research through time. We argue for renewed efforts across arctic sciences to recognize Inuit-environment relationships through reference to place names and the ecological histories they encapsulate, and we provide considerations for future work.

加拿大北极地区的土著地名:可公开访问的项目清单

地名包含土著的理解模式,反映了生态历史以及土著社区、北极环境、时间和土地之间的深层关系。已完成的地名研究对于研究人员来说是有用的;然而,众所周知,它们很难找到。许多是由社区团体完成并在其网站上发布,或由政府机构完成并作为灰色文献出版。地名项目的清单还不存在,要找出在哪里、与谁一起完成的项目以及由谁完成的项目,需要对学术和灰色文献进行长期搜索。在本文中,我们盘点了加拿大北部的土著地名项目,并记录了我们为制作可公开访问的索引所做的努力,在该索引中可以通过地图找到地名项目。用户可以添加新的或未知的资源。我们的目的是记录该资源的生产,并提高社区、研究人员、科学家和其他利益相关者对地名资源的认识。我们反思通过构建指数获得的知识,并对因纽特人地名研究随时间变化的趋势进行观察。我们主张北极科学界重新努力,通过参考地名及其所蕴含的生态历史来认识因纽特人与环境的关系,并为未来的工作提供考虑。我们反思通过构建指数获得的知识,并对因纽特人地名研究随时间变化的趋势进行观察。我们主张北极科学界重新努力,通过参考地名及其所蕴含的生态历史来认识因纽特人与环境的关系,并为未来的工作提供考虑。我们反思通过构建指数获得的知识,并对因纽特人地名研究随时间变化的趋势进行观察。我们主张北极科学界重新努力,通过参考地名及其所蕴含的生态历史来认识因纽特人与环境的关系,并为未来的工作提供考虑。
