    Babiche

    Babiche is a type of string traditionally made by Indigenous peoples from rawhide and had multiple uses, such as to lace snowshoes, fishing nets, drumheads and the like. Though typically considered a French Canadian term, babiche is an Algonquian word, loosely translating to “cord” (in Mi’kmaq, ababich) or “thread” (in Ojibwa, assabâbish).

    Back River

    Back River, 974 km long, rises in Contwoyto Lake, north of Great Slave Lake, NWT, and flows northeast across the Barren Lands of Nunavut to Chantrey Inlet, south of King William Island. It has a drainage area of 106,500 km2 and a mean discharge of 612 m3/sec. The river is turbulent in its upper course, but as it enters a broad plain, it widens to form Lakes Pelly, Garry, Upper Macdougall and Lower Macdougall. On its final leg, it narrows to cut through another rocky section to the coast. The Thelon Game Sanctuary lies along part of its length between the Consul and Baillie rivers.

    Bacteria

    Bacteria are microscopic single-celled organisms capable of rapid growth and division. As prokaryotes [Gk, "before nucleus"], bacteria are characterized by the organization of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA, containing genetic material) into a singular, circular chromosome not bounded by a membrane; and into smaller circular structures (plasmids); small ribosomes (particles active in protein synthesis) uniformly distributed throughout the cytoplasm; and the absence of membrane-bound organelles. The cell shape of most bacteria is spherical or ovoid (coccus), rodlike (bacillus) or spiral (spirillum). The cells generally range in width from 0.2–5 µm, and in length up to 150 µm, though species with larger cells are known.

    Badger Case

    In R. v. Badger, the Supreme Court of Canada clarified the interpretation of Treaty 8 hunting rights of Indigenous peoples (see Rights of Indigenous Peoples in Canada). The case involved three Cree men charged under Alberta's Wildlife Act for hunting on private lands. The Court held that treaty rights to hunt for food could not be practiced where land was visibly in use for a purpose incompatible with hunting. Two convictions were upheld, while one was overturned and sent back for further review. This landmark decision established key principles of treaty interpretation shaping modern Canadian constitutional law on Indigenous-Crown relations (see also Notable Indigenous Rights Court Cases).

    Bait Acts

    During the early 1880s the Newfoundland salt-fish trade was in trouble as the product's market value declined. A principal cause was increased competition from Norwegian and French fishermen, the latter heavily subsidized by the French government.
