Faite de vermeil, elle mesure 4 pieds de hauteur et pèse environ 18 livres. Ses quatre faces représentent respectivement la couronne royale, les armoiries de la Nouvelle Écosse, le grand sceau actuel de la province (celui conféré avant la Confédération) et la silhouette d’un Président vêtu de ses habits officiels. Sont également gravés sur la masse la fleur de mai, emblème floral de la Nouvelle Écosse, et le chardon écossais. La masse a été fabriquée en Angleterre par Elkington and Company, Limited. M. et Mme Harris souhaitaient que leur don de la masse reste anonyme. Le premier ministre de l’époque a respecté leur désir, mais a demandé que leur legs puisse être reconnu ultérieurement au moyen d’une inscription gravée sur la masse. Par conséquent, dans son testament, le juge en chef a chargé ses exécuteurs de faire graver l’inscription suivante sur la masse et d’assumer les coûts des travaux à même sa succession : « Cette masse fut présentée à la Chambre d’assemblée de la province de la Nouvelle Écosse par l’honorable Robert E. Harris, juge en chef de la Nouvelle Écosse, et par Mme Harris, en mars 1930.

It is with great pleasure that I present this report that outlines the many successes and accomplishments our organization has achieved over the 2011-2012 year. Elisapee Sheutiapik To those unfamiliar with our organization, I hope you will be impressed with the variety and importance of the many projects that we have undertaken this year. We may have many diverse projects at any one time, but they all share one thing – a sharp focus on improving the current and future lives of Inuit women and their communities. To those familiar with Pauktuutit and its work, you will see that some of our ongoing projects have been completed while a number of new ones emerge. From my perspective, this reflects the very ebb and flow of the issues and challenges that impact the lives of Inuit women as they continue to work so very hard to ensure their lives, and those of their children, are as good as they can be.

The year has certainly been a busy one. Like most years, it presented some challenges to Inuit women but we have also seen some significant successes. One gets a sense that we are making progress in a wide range of areas and that Inuit women are being recognized for their contributions to their communities. One development in particular, the renewed focus of the federal government on northern security and economic development, represents a major shift and offers some hope for the improvement of social and economic conditions in many Elisapee Sheutiapik Inuit communities. As I look back over the year, we have seen much positive change. We celebrated the implementation of self-government in Nunatsiavut and the negotiation of self-government in Nunavik. Inuit women have achieved a number of important positions including Leona Aglukkaq, the federal Minister of Health, and Eva Aariak, the Premier of Nunavut.
