  • Inunnguiniq: Caring for Children the Inuit Way
    Inuit CHILD & YOUTH HEALTH INUNNGUINIQ: CARING FOR CHILDREN THE INUIT WAY At the heart and soul of Inuit culture are our values, language, and spirit. These made up our identity and enabled us to survive and flourish in the harsh Arctic environment. In the past, we did not put a word to this; it was within us and we knew it instinctively. Then, we were alone in the Arctic but now, in two generations, we have become part of the greater Canadian and world society. We now call the values, language, and spirit of the past Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit. (Nunavut Tunngavik Incorporated, 2000) Prepared by Shirley Tagalik, Educational it. Inunnguiniq is literally translated as “the thinking, and behaviour. The specific Consultant, Inukpaujaq Consulting making of a human being.” The cultural process for ensuring this result— expectation is that every child will become inunnguiniq—is a shared responsibility Defining Inunnguiniq able/enabled/capable so that they can be within the group. Inunnguiniq is the Inuit assured of living a good life. A good life is equivalent of “it takes a village to raise a Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit (IQ) describes considered one where you have sufficient child.” Inherent in the process are a set of Inuit worldview.1 It is a holistic way of proper attitude and ability to be able to role expectations for those connected with being interconnected in the world and contribute to working for the common a child to nurture, protect, observe, and is based in four big laws or maligait. good—helping others and making create a path in life that is uniquely fitted These include working for the common improvements for those to come.

  • Social Hierarchy and Societal Roles Among the Inuit People by Caitlin Amborski and Erin Miller
    Social Hierarchy and Societal Roles among the Inuit People by Caitlin Amborski and Erin Miller Markers of social hierarchy are apparent in four main aspects of traditional Inuit culture: the community as a whole, leadership, gender and marital relationships, and the relationship between the Inuit and the peoples of Canada. Due to its presence in multiple areas of Inuit everyday life, the theme of social hierarchy is also clearly expressed in Inuit artwork, particularly in the prints from Kinngait Studios of Cape Dorset and in sculptures. The composition of power in Inuit society is complex, since it is evident on multiple levels within Inuit culture.1 The Inuit hold their traditions very highly. As a result, elders play a crucial role within the Inuit community, since they are thought to be the best source of knowledge of the practices and teachings that govern their society. Their importance is illustrated by Kenojuak Ashevak’s print entitled Wisdom of the Elders, which she devotes to this subject.2 She depicts a face wearing a hood from a traditional Inuit jacket in the center of the composition with what appears to be a yellow aura, and contrasting red and green branches radiating from the hood. Generally, the oldest family members are looked upon as elders because their age is believed to reveal the amount of wisdom that they hold.3 One gets the sense that the person portrayed in this print is an elder, based on the wrinkles that are present around the mouth. In Inuit society, men and women alike are recognized as elders, and this beardless face would seem 1 Janet Mancini Billson and Kyra Mancini, Inuit Women: their powerful spirit in a century of change, (Lanham: Rowman & Littlefield, 2004), 56.

    The Arctic in 2045: A Long Term Vision Okalik Eegeesiak | Wilton Park, London, UK| February 17, 2016 An Inuit Vision of the Arctic in 2045 (check against delivery) Ullukkut, Good afternoon. My name is Okalik Eegeesiak. First, thank you to the organizers for the invitation to speak at this conference at such a beautiful and inspiring venue and to the participants who share the value of the Arctic and its peoples. A thirty year vision for the Arctic is important. Inuit believe in a vision for the Arctic – our vision looks back and forward – guided by our past to inform our future. I hope my thoughts will add to the discussion. I will share with you about what Inuit are doing to secure our vision and how we can work together for our shared vision of the Arctic. Inuit have occupied the circumpolar Arctic for millennia – carving a resilient and pragmatic culture from the land and sea – we have lived through famines, the little ice age, Vikings, whalers, missionaries, residential schools, successive governments and we intend to thrive with climate change. A documentary was recently released in Canada that told of the accounts of two Inuit families and an single man from Labrador, Canada now called Nunatsiavut – these Inuit were brought to Europe in the 1880’s and displayed in “zoo’s”. Their remains are still in storage in museums in France and Germany and their predecessors are now working to repatriate them. I share these struggles and trauma to illustrate that we have come a long way… and I am with a solid foundation of our history.

  • Santa Claus from Country to Country
    Santa Claus from Country to Country Lesson topic: Various ways Santa is portrayed in different countries Content Concepts: -Learn about various Santa Claus legends United States, Belgium, Brazil, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, New Zealand, Romania, Russia, Netherlands, Spain, Chile. -Social Studies, history, map skills -Reading (list of library books) -Math problems -Science projects -Craft projects -Writing practice -Gaming skills -Music (list of Christmas CD’s) Proficiency levels: Grades 4 - 6 Information, Materials, Resources: Social Studies, History, and Map skills United States: The modern portrayal of Santa Claus frequently depicts him listening to the Christmas wishes of young children. Santa Claus (also known as Saint Nicholas, Saint Nick, Father Christmas, Kris Kringle, Santy or simply Santa) is a folklore figure in various cultures who distributes gifts to children, normally on Christmas Eve . Each name is a variation of Saint Nicholas , but refers to Santa Claus. In today's North American, European and worldwide celebration of Christmas, people young and old simply refer to the hero of the season as Santa , or Santa Claus. (Wikipedia) Conventionally, Santa Claus is portrayed as a kindly, round-bellied, merry, bespectacled white man in a red coat trimmed with white fur, with a long white beard . On Christmas Eve, he rides in his sleigh pulled by flying reindeer from house to house to give presents to children. To enter the house, Santa Claus comes down the chimney and exits through the fireplace . During the rest of the year he lives together with his wife Mrs. Claus and his elves manufacturing toys . Some modern depictions of Santa (often in advertising and popular entertainment) will show the elves and Santa's workshop as more of a processing and distribution facility, ordering and receiving the toys from various toy manufacturers from across the world.

Foremost, I would like to acknowledge the contribution of my family. Without the support of my wife and colleague, Marjan, the successful development and completion of my research would not have been possible. Marjan inspires me to endure the usual hardship experienced with such long-term research. I am delighted to dedicate this work to her. My work has also taken me far away from my homeland and, therefore, has prevented me from sharing certain special moments with my parents. I hope to be a better family member and son with regards to involve- ment in family matters in the future. I would like to thank my first Ph.D. supervisor Prof. Dr.-Ing. Madjid Fathi, chair of the Institute of Knowledge-Based Systems and Knowledge Manage- ment (KBS&KM) at the University of Siegen. He has supported me in devel- oping an academic career and provided opportunities for me to become in- volved in both European- and industry-funded research projects. I would also like to thank my second Ph.D.

  • ENGLISH 261 Summer18
    ENGLISH 261 ARCTIC ENCOUNTERS 4-6:10, Gaige Hall 303 (days vary) Dr. Russell A. Potter http://eng261.blogspot.com There are few places left on earth where simply going there seems extraordinary – but a trip north of the Arctic Circle still seems to signify the experience of something astonishing. This course takes up the history of human exploration and interaction in the Arctic, from the early days of the nineteenth century to the present, with a focus on contact between European and American explorers and the Eskimo, or Inuit as they are more properly known today. We read first-hand accounts and view dramatic films and documentaries that recount these histories, both from the Western and the Inuit side of the story. Each week, we’ll have new readings both in our books and online, and a response to one of that week’s blog posts is due. There will also be a final paper of 4-6 pages on a topic of the student’s choosing related to our course subjects. This summer, we’ll also have an unusual opportunity: I’ll be teaching the second half of the course from on board a ship in the Arctic! As I have in past summers, I’ll be aboard the research vessel Akademik Ioffe as part of a team of experts working with passengers on a series of expedition cruises. I’ll be in the Canadian Maritimes, Newfoundland and Labrador, and eventually in Nunavut heading up the coast of Baffin Island. I’ll be posting text, and some pictures (the limited bandwidth of the ship’s e-mail means that these will mostly be rather small ones) and posting/commenting on our class blog.

Chasseur, pêcheur, trappeur, conducteur de chiens de traîneau, puis employé de la Compagnie de la Baie d’Hudson et des coopératives, président du conseil communautaire de Puvirnituq au Nunavik (Québec arctique) et homme politique, c’était également un encyclopédiste, un penseur et un activiste culturel de haut calibre. Sans oublier son rôle d’époux, de père de famille et de citoyen à l'écoute de son milieu, celui des Inuit1 du 20e siècle. Il a été récipiendaire de l’ordre du Québec et de celui du Canada, comme aussi du prix de la recherche nordique — décerné par le ministère canadien des Affaires indiennes et du Nord aux chercheurs émérites en études arctiques — et d’une mention honorable de l’Université du Québec, l’équivalent 1 On notera que les mots inuit apparaissant dans l’autobiographie, y compris les noms propres, sont écrits en orthographe standard du Nunavik. Cette graphie reflète la prononciation réelle de la langue. Seuls quelques noms de famille et prénoms modernes ont été transcrits dans leur orthographe courante, non standard. Par exemple, le prénom du père de Qumaq est écrit Nuvalinngaq (graphie standard), mais le nom de famille de son fils — le prénom du grand-père paternel, imposé comme nom de famille par les autorités fédérales au cours des années 1960 — est transcrit Novalinga. De même, pour respecter le génie de l’inuktitut et le sentiment de ses locuteurs, il a été décidé dès la première publication de l’autobiographie que le mot « inuit » resterait invariable en français, sans « e » au féminin ni « s » au pluriel.
