Here’s a succinct review of Dr. Sutherland’s tremendous research efforts on Baffin Island, relating to her significant finds about Norse (or Viking) outposts located there. She had been working for the Museum of Civilization when the Conservative government decided to change its mandate and name to the Museum of History: http://newobserveronline.com/has-political-correctness-sun…/
About the same time Dr. Sutherland was fired, a Nunavut review agency had appr...oved a massive $4-billion iron mine on Baffin Island, one of the biggest industrial projects ever in the Canadian Arctic. Canada’s Conservative government supports this project, which will require the building of some mode for transporting the ore: http://o.canada.com/…/baffin-island-mega-mine-gets-green-li…
Dr. Sutherland’s research project was in this area. Perhaps, it was inconvenient to the new mine … at least in the eyes of the federal and/or territorial government. Usually before a mining project proceeds, a team of archeologists is sent in to check for artifacts and relics. In this case, Dr. Sutherland had already collected an intriguing body of evidence, so her project might have caused delays, or the need to reroute certain mining activities. The Conservative approach to mining and resource development is straight forward extraction and nothing more. The timing of Dr. Sutherland’s dismissal and approval for this mine raised my suspicions about this possibility.
Now, we are told Dr. Sutherland was dismissed for ‘harrassment’. Who was harrassing whom? And why? Dr. Sutherland was denied access to the artifacts she had assembled, AND those which she had borrowed from other museums for comparative purposes. It is understandable that she would have been very concerned about what happened to those artifacts. So, what did happen to her artifacts? What is the Canadian Museum of History, once called the Canadian Museum of Civilization, doing with them, and where are they being stored?
