  • 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.

Therriault3 1Canada-Nunavut Geoscience Office, Iqaluit, Nunavut, [email protected] 2Lands and Resources Department, Qikiqtani Inuit Association, Iqaluit, Nunavut 3The University of British Columbia–Okanagan, Kelowna, British Columbia This work forms part of the Qikiqtani Inuit Association’s Quarry Evaluation Program to address the safety and sustainability of carving stone quarries located on Inuit Owned Lands around the Qikiqtaaluk Region of Nunavut. The program is jointly funded with research part- nerships between the Canada-Nunavut Geoscience Office, Government of Nunavut Department of Economic Development and Transpor- tation, and Canadian Northern Economic Development Agency. The program aims to carry out bedrock mapping and geochemical analysis of significant sites to better understand how carving stone deposits form, identify unexplored resources and develop known re- sources to increase carving stone accessibility in the region. Steenkamp, H.M., Elgin, R.A. and Therriault, I. 2017: Geological mapping and resource evaluation of the Koonark carving stone deposit, northern Baffin Island, Nunavut; in Summary of Activities 2017, Canada-Nunavut Geoscience Office, p. 139–150. Abstract Geological mapping was conducted by the Canada-Nunavut Geoscience Office and Qikiqtani Inuit Association at the unde- veloped Koonark deposit on northern Baffin Island to better constrain the volume and characteristics of potential carving stone resources in the Qikiqtaaluk Region. The mapped area is dominated by greenschist-facies metasedimentary, metavol- canic and ultramafic metaplutonic rocks of the Archean Mary River Group that are adjacent to the Central Borden Fault, which juxtaposes them with Paleozoic carbonate rocks.

  • Mining for Power: Uranium Mining in Baker Lake Nunavut
    Mining for Power: Uranium and the Community of Baker Lake, Nunavut Elaine Wang, University of Vermont (prepared for ENVS 295, Dr. Saleem H. Ali) December 2006 Three representations of the Kivalliq District, Nunavut Clockwise from upper left: project map released to the media by Titan Uranium; satellite image from Google Maps; caribou ranges mapped by Beverly-Qamanirjuaq Caribou Management Board “The Kiggavik Project near Baker Lake never went ahead. It is possible that, because of changing market conditions and the superior ore grades in neighboring Saskatchewan, 1989-90 had provided a window of opportunity for its development that was never to be repeated.” -Robert McPherson 2003, New Owners in the Own Land adapted from Cameco Corporation, 2006; not constant dollars Introduction In a plebiscite held on March 26, 1990, residents of the hamlet of Baker Lake (in what was then the District of Keewatin, Northwest Territories, now the District of Kivalliq, Nunavut, Canada), voted overwhelmingly against the development of a uranium mine by Urangesellschaft Canada Ltd. (UG) at a nearby site called Kiggavik, part of what prospectors know as the Thelon Basin. As a result, UG never explored its claims. In August of the same year, Bob Leonard, the president of the Keewatin Chamber of Commerce stated, “We are in an economic crisis. The economy in the Keewatin is in a mess. We are totally dependent on government spending and there’s no way that can continue.”1 The opening quote by Robert McPherson, a mining consultant in the Nunavut land claims negotiations, suggests that as recently as 2003, uranium mining near Baker Lake was, for many reasons, considered a non-option.

The word “Nunavut” means “Our Land” in Inuktut, the language of the Inuit, who represent 85 per cent of Nunavut’s resident’s. The creation of Nunavut as Canada’s third territory had its origins in a desire by Inuit got more say in their future. The first formal presentation of the idea – The Nunavut Proposal – was made to Ottawa in 1976. More than two decades later, in February 1999, Nunavut’s first 19 Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) were elected to a five year term. Shortly after, those MLAs chose one of their own, lawyer Paul Okalik, to be the first Premier. The resulting government is a public one; all may vote - Inuit and non-Inuit, but the outcomes reflect Inuit values.

  • Auyuittuq, Hiking Expedition
    Auyuittuq, Hiking Expedition Program Descriptive & Day-by-day: Auyuittuq National Park Majestic towers, carved in bedrock by glaciers, shooting straight for the sun: such scenery is what Auyuittuq National Park has to offer. It is, without a doubt, one of the most awe-inspiring places on Earth. Set in the middle of the Penny Ice Cap, bisected from North to South by the Akshayuk pass, an immense valley opens inland. After a two-day hike surrounded by severe-looking, barren plateaus, we will set up base camp. From there, you will go on a day hike to one of the most spectacular lookouts of the park, Mount Thor. On your way, you will have an opportunity to see impressive rock formations dating back to the last ice age, moraines, boulder fields, and much more. During this five-day hike, you will tread over terrain ranging from arid gravel to humid, fertile tundra, with sharp peaks and a huge glacier in the backdrop. Memories like these are unlikely to fade away. The hiking trip To hike Auyuittuq Park you will need to be able to walk with a 16 to 20 kg (35-45 lb) back pack for a distance of 8 to 18 km (5 to 12 mi) per day (4 to 8 hours a day). Trail is not technical and do not present an altitude challenge, be ready to have, at moment to cross glacier river (water high to your knees). Days will be spent in the great outdoor while nights will be spent in tent. You should be prepared to live outside for the entire trip and have minimal camping experience Kekerten Island and Pangnirtung After leaving Auyuittuq Park, an Inuit guide will take you on a boat ride to the remarkable Kekerten Island.
