  • Kivia Covid 19 Response Initiative Phase 2
    KivIA Covid 19 Response Initiative Phase 2 December 8, 2020 By KIA Announcements / Inuit Programs & Services RANKIN INLET, NU – December 7, 2020 – The Kivalliq Inuit Association (KivIA) is pleased to announce the launch of the second phase of its COVID-19 initiatives for its members. Initiatives that included support for its Elders, traditional activities, and support to all its members within our communities had ended. The additional funds for KivIA’s second phase COVID-19 response plan come from additional funding from the Indigenous Community Support Fund (ICSF). The KivIA had carefully considered various options to roll out this additional funding from the federal government. The discussion led to a consensus on a plan that would… Eliminate the need to have the program become application based Allow the general public, KIA staff and Inuit to not come in contact with each other in order to carry out this program, therefore following the Public Health Measures currently in effect. Allow the Inuit in the Kivalliq communities to quickly receive the relief funds without any delay due to administrative time. Benefit local Inuit owned companies with their services Maximize the funding effectiveness with the addition of added funds from the vendor and ability for its members to add on to their dividends. Prevent any tax implications for the Inuit from the federal government in receiving this relief funding. With the above factors put into consideration, it was suggested by the Covid-19 Planning Committee that the ICS Funding would be rolled out with a partnership with the Arctic Cooperatives Limited to provide $1500 gift cards to every Inuit household in the Kivalliq Region.

Box 1360 (29 Mitik) Cambridge Bay, Nunavut X0B 0C0 Re: Additional Information Request by NIRB - Update on Consultation with Community of Rankin Inlet Kahuna Property Field Camp - NIRB File No.: 15EN028 - Application No.: 125186 This letter is in response to a January 26, 2018 notice from the Nunavut Impact Review Board (NIRB) to Dunnedin Ventures Inc. (Dunnedin) requesting additional information and an update on consultation with Community of Rankin Inlet. This request was made pursuant to subsection 144(1) of the Nunavut Planning and Project Assessment Act, S.C. 2013, c. 14, s. 2 (NuPPAA). A separate letter that addresses public concern submitted to NIRB during the commenting period for the proposed “Kahuna Property Field Camp” was sent to NIRB on February 6, 2018. Dunnedin has used Rankin Inlet as a base of summer operations for exploration programs since 2015. In response to community wishes to minimize daily helicopter transits to the property from Rankin Inlet, and for safety concerns during winter work conditions, Dunnedin proposed amending its current permits to authorize a temporary field camp central to the Kahuna Property and close to exploration work areas. The following letter summarizes and updates NIRB on consultation meetings held in community of Rankin Inlet on January 11 and 12, 2018 regarding Dunnedin’s application for a temporary field camp (NIRB File No.: 15EN028). 1.

    National Indigenous Peoples Day and Floe Edge, Naujaat Celebrate National Indigenous Peoples Day in Naujaat, located on the Arctic Circle in Nunavut. Explore the community and take in the festivities including dancing, song, local handicrafts and, of course, food! Explore the Floe Edge as we search for narwhal, seals and birds galore, and camp overnight with the polar bears. 5 days/4 nights ITINERARY Day 1: Winnipeg to Naujaat The Arctic Circle awaits you! Board your flight to Naujaat (formerly Repulse Bay) and head north. There will be a short stop in both Churchill (30 mins) and Rankin Inlet (1:50). We will have the opportunity to leave the airport and explore Rankin and visit a well regarded craft store where you may purchase souvenirs. Naujaat lies directly on top of the Arctic Circle in central Nunavut. The Arctic Circle is a line that delineates the points on the earth’s surface north of which the sun is above the horizon for 24 hours on June 21, and entirely below the horizon for 24 hours on December 21. Naujaat is the only North American community located on the Arctic Circle and it is here that the Arctic Circle cairn stands, a symbol that marks the Arctic Circle’s location. The Inuktitut name for Repulse Bay is Naujaat, which means “nesting place for seagulls”. Nesting grounds are located on cliffs five kilometres north of the community and every June the area is occupied by thousands of seagulls, as well as snow birds, loons, eider ducks, longtail ducks, and jaegers. Upon arrival, you will be met at the airport and transferred to the Naujaat Hotel – Inns North, which will be your home base for your stay here.

  • Nunavut's Education
    Nunavut’s Education Act: Education, Legislation, and Change in the Arctic Heather E. McGregor Abstract: The 2008 Nunavut Education Act endeavours to call Nunavut’s public education system to account for linguistic, cultural, and local relevance to the majority Inuit population. Development of the Act involved lengthy scrutiny of existing and proposed education legislation to ensure consistency and compatibility with the new vision of education. Implementation of this Act is now necessitating system transformation on a substantial scale, on the part of educators, administrators, district education authorities, and territorial government officials. This article explores the historical roots of the 2008 Act. Renewal of the education system was made possible and necessary by the creation of Nunavut Territory in 1999, which grew out of the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement and negotiations for increased Inuit self-government. However, situating the Act in the history of Nunavut’s educational policy and decision making, it can be seen as a milestone in a longer change process aimed at creating schools that better reflect communities and the needs of northern students. Considering the inherent potential of education to reflect and sustain Inuit self-determination, linguistic protection, and cultural promotion, the intersection of education with politics through the Act was long in coming. Education is now seen to be one of the Nunavut government’s most important priorities. This is well worth recognizing in the history of education in Nunavut, and in Canada as well. The 2008 Nunavut Education Act (the Act) is the first provincial or territorial education legislation in Canada that represents the educational vision of an Indigenous population.

  • MX-10 & MX-13 Muskox Abundance and Management Recommendations
    MX-10 & MX-13 Muskox Abundance and Management Recommendations Consultation With Kivalliq Hunters and Trappers Organizations September 23rd to 26th, 2019 Authors: Keenan Lindell, Kivalliq Regional Wildlife Technician, GNDOE, Arviat, Mitch Campbell, Kivalliq Regional Wildlife Biologist, GNDOE, Arviat, Department of Environment, Government of Nunavut Arviat, Nunavut Executive Summary Representatives of the Government of Nunavut, Department of Environment (DOE) including Mitch Campbell, Kivalliq Region Biologist, and Keenan Lindell, Wildlife Technician, conducted phone call consultations with the Hunters and Trappers Organizations (HTOs) of Rankin Inlet, Naujaat, and Coral Harbour as well as a face to face consultation with the Arviat HTO, between September 23 and September 30th, 2019. The purpose of these consultations was to review the status of the Kivalliq MX-10 and MX-13 muskox subpopulations and request support for the DOE recommendation to increase the Total Allowable Harvest (TAH) of the Northern Kivalliq muskox subpopulation (MX-10) from 90 to 95 muskox, and the recommendation to keep the Central Kivalliq Muskox subpopulation (MX-13) status quo (unchanged) at 182 muskox. Attempts were made to speak with all Kivalliq HTOs, unfortunately our calls with Baker Lake and Whale Cove had to be postponed due to a search and rescue in Baker Lake, and a lack of quorum in Whale Cove. Despite several attempts to reach the Chesterfield Inlet HTO by both phone and e-mail, we did not receive a response back. All calls were preceded by the distribution of all final muskox survey reports four weeks prior to the phone consultation. In the case of Baker Lake and Whale Cove HTOs, both HTOs indicated that the reports were sufficient to finalize their decision to support the GN recommendations for status Quo for MX-13 (Central Kivalliq Muskox Subpopulation), and an increase in the TAH of the northern Kivalliq muskox subpopulation (MX- 10) from 90 to 95 muskox.

  • The Story of Nuliajuk (Inuit) Narrated by : Peter Irniq, Inuit Naujaat
    The story of Nuliajuk (Inuit) Narrated by : Peter Irniq, Inuit Naujaat, Nunavut Nuliajuk. Nuliajuk is a spirit. A spirit, known by Inuit as a Sea Spirit. Nuliajuk is someone that I knew, ever since I was a little boy. My father a Netsilik man, who came from Talurjuaq, in Netsilingmiut, the people who live among the seals. I came from that region and they used to tell that legend, Nuliajuk, as a story, and as a spirit and as someone that has, that had a lot of power. Nuliajuk, originally was Uinigumasuittuq. Uinigumasuittuq translates to “one that never wanted to marry,” wanted to remain a spinster for all her life. There’s a real story in that, because as mother and father, they wanted a son-in-law. They wanted their daughter to be married, so that the son-in-law could also contribute to hunting and provide food for the family. That is an extremely important aspect in Inuit culture, Inuit customs and Inuit traditions; which is how we grew up as Inuit, since thousands of years ago. Nuliajuk is a very ancient story, very ancient legend passed on from generation to generation, since time immemorial. Uinigumasuittuq, the one who never wanted to marry. So her father wanted her to be married, but she didn’t want to be married. And one day, the father said: “I’m going to take you down to the island.” So he took his daughter to an island, some distance away, with a dog or with dogs… Inuit dogs. And she started living with the dogs at this island.

Abstract This is a qualitative study of the 30-year land claim negotiation process (1963-1993) through which the Inuit of Nunavut transformed themselves from being a marginalized population with few recognized rights in Canada to becoming the overwhelmingly dominant voice in a territorial government, with strong rights over their own lands and waters. In this study I view this negotiation process and all of the activities that supported it as part of a larger Inuit Movement and argue that it meets the criteria for a social movement. This study bridges several social sciences disciplines, including newly emerging areas of study in social movements, conflict resolution, and Indigenous studies, and offers important lessons about the conditions for a successful mobilization for Indigenous rights in other states. In this research I examine the extent to which Inuit values and worldviews directly informed movement emergence and continuity, leadership development and, to some extent, negotiation strategies.
