The Arctic Institute of North America (AINA) announces publication of
the June 2008 issue of the journal ARCTIC, now in its 61st year of

multidisciplinary research institute of the University of Calgary,
AINA's mandate is to advance the study of the North American and
circumpolar Arctic through the natural and social sciences, as well as
the arts and humanities, and to acquire, preserve, and disseminate

North. Created as a bi-national corporation in 1945, the Institute's
