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. SUMMARY OF MEETINGS, RANKIN INLET – JANUARY 11 AND 12, 2018 Dates, locations and consultations with parties, Rankin Inlet • CBC Radio North, Dunnedin CEO Chris Taylor was interviewed by both CBC Rankin Inlet and CBC Iqaluit on January 11.

Baffinland suggested in its motion that it is fair to all parties for the Board to reconvene the Public Hearing for the Phase 2 Proposal on October 30, 2020. We submit that it would be premature to schedule a Hearing until such time as a Technical Meeting and Pre-Hearing Conference are held to determine whether the proposal is sufficient to be heard at a hearing, and to determine issues such as the timing, location and format of a Hearing. It would also be inappropriate for the NIRB to determine next steps based on a mo- tion from Baffinland. It is not fair to all parties to reconvene the Public Hearing in October. Many organizations par- ticipating in the ongoing assessment of Phase 2, including our Hamlets and HTOs, have suf- fered significant limitations on our ability to engage in a normal workload while still remaining vigilant in addressing Covid-19 related safety measures.

  • 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.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Dissertations - ALL by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. 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.

  • Nunavut History*
    Nunavut History* The Flag of Nunavut The blue and gold colors are symbolic of the riches of the land, sea and sky. The inuksuk is a symbol of the stone monuments that act as guides for people traveling on the land that also indicates sacred and special places. The North Star is a traditional reference for navigation and also alludes to the leadership of elders in the various communities. Image of inuksuk at Sundown MOTTO NUNAVUT SANGINIVUT means "Nunavut our strength". There was once a world before this, and in it lived people who were not of our tribe. But the pillars of the earth collapsed, and all were destroyed. And the world was emptiness. Then two men grew up from a hummock of earth. They were born and fully grown all at once. And they wished to have children. A magic song changed one of them into a woman, and they had children. These were our earliest forefathers, and from them all the lands were peopled. — Tuglik, Igloolik area, 1922 Nunavut means “our land" in the Inuit language of Inuktitut. Population (2006 census): 30,800m Total Area: 1,994,000km Date of creation of the territory: April 1, 1999 Nunavut Early History The earliest people to inhabit the region now known as Nunavut were the Tuniit (Dorset) people, believed to have crossed the Bering Strait–then a land bridge–from Russia approximately 5,000 years ago. The Tuniit were the sole occupants of the land until about 1,000 years ago, when the Thule, the ancestors of today's Inuit, began appearing in the area.
