The Federal Government's Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation has a program which provides financial assistance to individuals or landlords to modify a house or residence to meet the needs of people with disabilities. It is called the Residential Rehabilitation Assistance Program (RRAP) for Persons with Disabilities, and it is applicable for houses and dwellings intended for occupancy by low-income individuals. Financial assistance is provided in the form of a loan, which may be partly or totally forgiven. Loans up to $21,000 to $27,000 are available to modify a house or dwelling in northern and far-northern areas. Landlords can apply for these loans if rents are below a certain level, and if the units are to be occupied by low-income tenants. Homeowners are eligible to apply for these loans if their income and the value of their house are below certain levels. The limits on income levels and the value of the house are based on household size and location. In some parts of the country, this Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation program is jointly administered with provincial or territorial governments. For more information about the RRAP program, call the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation national toll free number 1-800-668-2642, or contact the Société d'Habitation du Québec toll free at 1-800-463-4315.

A NUNAVIK ATLAS ON THE INTERNET

A group of researchers from different organizations in Nunavik has decided to create a Web site that will display maps of Nunavik, along with geographic information about the region. This Web site will be called the Nunavik Internet Atlas. The maps featured on this on-line atlas will be about geomorphology, ecology, population, health issues, or any other subjects of interest to Nunavimmiut. This project is a collaboration between the people of Nunavik and the University of Quebec (UQ). The UQ will provide technical help for producing this Atlas. The people of Nunavik, through a Regional Atlas Committee, will be in charge of finding the topics and information that will be featured on the Nunavik Atlas Web site. So far, six Nunavik organizations are involved in the project: Makivik Corporation, the Kativik Regional Government, the Nunavik Mineral Exploration Fund, the Nunavik Tourism Association, the Kativik School Board and the Nunavik Regional Board of Health and Social Services. The Makivik Cartographic Service will serve as the project coordinator. The Nunavik Internet Atlas will be trilingual: Inuttitut, English and French. Easy to use, as all scientific words will be explained, it will be a very visual product with very little text and lots of images and color. We want to create something else than a book. Games such as quizzes and puzzles will make it very educa­ tive. Soon, all schools in Nunavik will be equipped with a satellite dish that will allow high speed Internet access and will enable students and teachers to use the Nunavik Atlas for education purposes. This Atlas will bring a wider presence on the Web for Nunavik and will be excellent for business and tourism. It will also be a land management tool, bringing easy and fast access to a bank of maps, compatible for downloading on every computer. The reason for having an Atlas on-line is that it has lower production costa than a paper-format Atlas, not to mention that it is easy to update without incurring so much cost. Moreover, the information will be available everywhere for free and it will give exposure to our region throughout the world. We plan to release a first version of the Nunavik Internet Atlas on the Web by next fall. The Web site address will soon be available in Makivik Magazine and on the Makivik Web site at www.makivik.org A»ion>cnjc

They talked to us about how they were able to protect fcr^Nr' rJbc3d,nr,JflHc their traditional designs like the mola, which is a very colorful design and hand sewn on fabric (I bought one myself for a souvenir). Fax: (514) 745-3700 Panamanian government passed a legislation last year to protect the collective Intellectual Property rights and traditional knowledge of their indigenous peoples. Pauktuutit decided to form an association or public authority to seek interim protection and registration of cultural property, which will include all Inuit as members, without any fee to join. It was also decided that a working group would be formed to oversee the preservation and protection of our Intellectual Property. Pauktuutit wishes to do more research on other Intellectual Property rights in Canada, as well as developing a cultural exchange project with Panama on that particular topic. Eventually, Pauktuutit would like to see a law emerge in Canada or an amendment to the existing legislation that would include the protection of such designs as our Arnautik, and which would be recognized in other countries. Pauktuutit believes that by bringing together all Inuit of the circum- polar world, we would be able to achieve greater deed to protect our traditional designs, which belong to us Inuit. l l c Cd !,CS r o-r A

The Avataq Cultural Institute heartily welcomes Montreal visitors to share the Inuit culture of Nunavik by spending some time at the Tumivut culture and art exhibition: Traces of our Footsteps. Tumivut is named after the Inuit legend, the story of a man named Atungaq, who *' decided to wander the world. These days, traces of the Inuit culture can be seen in the historic Royal Bank building at 360 St-Jacques Street in Old Montreal, as the exhibition is now open to the public until October 14, 2001.

c j A full sized canvas tent, complete with a twig mat, Coleman stove and lantern, pro­ vides some contemporary context to the historic pieces in the exhibition, and there are some ^ marvelous ones. A 22-foot authentic kayak dating from the early 1900s is one of the first works of art to view. It's beside a harpoon, and an inflated avataq. Nearby, one can see grass baskets, and a do"' both from Inukjuak. Historic and modern photographs provide a good visual grounding for visitors. The visual arts are well represented too. Besides twenty original sculp- M tures' a selection of prints and engravings, a rare drawing illustrating the legend of Atungaq, and a sealskin mural round out the exhibition. Avataq has created a boutique for visitors to take home a part of Nunavik with them. There are plenty of music CDs, boxes of Avataq tea, jars of Nunavik Caribou paté, carvings, jewelry, Tumivut t-shirts, and colourful greeting cards on offer.

FIRST NATIONS GARDEN A new attraction will soon be taking root at the Montreal Botanical Garden: the First Nations Garden. The new 25,000 m2 garden, scheduled to open on August 2, 2001, will illustrate the close bonds between Amerindian and Inuit, and the flora, past and present. Representing three different types of territory, it will evoke a natural environment, opening a window on the eleven First Nations of Quebec. Its many interpretation panels and pavilion will highlight not only native knowledge of plants, but also First Nations activities related to the plant world, from gathering food and medicinal plants to using wood and trees to make items and build and transport their homes. The Montreal Botanical Garden is located at 4101 Sherbrooke Street East. For more information, call (514) 872-1400 or check their Web site at www, ville, mon treat, qc. ca/jardin

AQPIK JAM 2001 Kuujjuaq's much-anticipated music festival will take place once again this year, from August 14 to 17, 2001. Featuring bands from all around Nunavik, as well as Nunavut and Greenland, this year's Aqpik Jam will welcome Honeymoon Suite, a Canadian rock band from Toronto that many will remember. The Toggles, another band from the South, will also be per­ forming, with many old time favorites from the 60s and 70s that promise to bring you back to another music era. For more information, contact the CNV of Kuujjuaq at (819) 964-2943.

NIPIAA ROCK FESTIVAL Again this year, bands from Nunavik will be performing at the NIPIAA Rock Festival in Aasiaat, Greenland. Kuujjuaq's favorite rock bands, Angava and Sinuupa, along with Elisapi Isaac of Salluit, will play in front of an enthusiastic Greenlandic crowd from August 29 to September 1st, 2001.

This coming fall, the Avataq Cultural Institute will host the first ever Inuit Throatsingers Gathering in Puvirnituq, from September 10 to 14. The purpose of this gathering is to provide a forum for the artists to share their talents, knowledge and ideas with one another. More than sixty partici­ pants from all around Nunavik and Nunavut will attend the five-day gathering. They will vary in age and in skill, from lifetime performers to professionals to beginners. By bringing together per­ formers of all ages, the importance of Kattajjaq as part of our heritage will be examined, while ensuring that knowledge of this art continues to be strong in the future. The need for a gather­ ing of this nature has been expressed by many of our Inuit elders. They fear that the origins and meaning of Kattajjaq will be lost in a world of popular music and cultural distortion if it is not taught properly to our children. One of the expected outcomes of this gathering is the formation of a throatsingers' association. This association would work to help professional throatsingers and beginners alike. The association would also work to safeguard the integrity of the art. On the final day of the gathering a concert performance is scheduled to take place during a community feast. The event is open to all who wish to attend and will be broadcast on northern television.

Thus, a program was started to monitor trichinella, particularly in walrus meat, around Nunavik. In collabora­ tion with Anguvigaq (HFTA), hunters around Nunavik are informed of this project and receive a package to send a sample of their walrus meat to the Research Centre. The analyst then tests if the disease is apparent in the meat. Once the results are available, staff then notifies the Public Health officer, who notifies the community. This project has been successful in preventing outbreaks of trichinosis in several communities of Nunavik. In the late 1990s, the cartographic services, which were then based in Montreal, were relocated to the Makivik Head Office in Kuujjuaq. It conducts land use studies and environmental assessments. It also maintains and creates databases, providing mapping services. The service also produces colour maps and posters for field studies and presentation purposes. With the new extension in place, the Cartography Department is now located within the Research Center's walls.

EXPANDING ITS RESOURCES Research and wildlife management require many resources. Such resources include the northern organiza­ tions, southern universities and the different levels of governments. Depending on the element of the study or research, the Research Centre deals with different organizations pertaining to toxicology, pathology, wildlife management and environmental issues.

The involve­ ment at the community level has been strong, Inuit undertake responsibility for the resource with active participation at all stages from the planning to its realization. For example, Kangiqsualujjuaq had asked for and received a small, but powerful, Kubota excavator which was used to construct a defection barrier and resting pools at nearby Ujarasutjulik. The Kubota will continue to be used for char habitat restoration. Inukjuak's carvers, who quarry soapstone sometimes using rock blasters, a newly developed tool that is lightweight, portable and can break solid rock, discovered that they were very well suited for stream enhancement.

In an effort to speed up the char introduction, Nayumivik contracted a team of consultants led by Gaétan Soucy, a commercial fish grower from Gaspe, and some provincial biologists to determine the feasability of con­ verting the Kuujjuaq old water plant into a fish hatchery. With the plumbing and water source already in place, Nayumivik then hired a local contractor to convert the pumphouse to a fish hatchery. The neighbouring village of Tasiujaq kindly made a gift of 35,000 char eggs to the people of Kuujjuaq. These eggs were stripped from fish and fertilized near Tasiujaq at the end of September, 2000, and placed in incubator trays, in Kuujjuaq's new hatchery. When two thirds of the yolk sac had been absorbed, the fry were transferred from the incubators to rearing troughs that were built by Umiak boat builders of Kuujjuaq. The fish were grown for three months and finally stocked into the lakes of the Nephijee system: Stewart Lake, Tasirlak, Qamutissait and Berthet Lake. Survival of Arctic char in the wild is not well known, but some estimates from other types of trout and salmon Juvenile char in incubator trays at Kuujjuaq's hatchery

are useful for comparison. Egg survival in the wild k s c < b is probably around 5% to 20%.

Once bagged, the tea was brought back up North and distributed in different communities to complete a marketing survey and see what Inuit thought of the product. Over 200 responses were received. Elders especially expressed their appreciation for the tisanes, as it reminded them of being out on the land. Some nursing stations in Nunavik and transit houses in the South were so delighted with the tisanes and the beneficial effect they have on the patients' morale that they requested to carry them in their facilities. Following the survey, a commercial look to the product was developed. Northern Delights, as it is now called, was finally available for sale this past winter up North, primarily in Kuujjuaq, through Newviq'vi. The FCNQ has also shown interest in carrying the product in the different Coop stores across Nunavik. Travellers to the North have also been targeted through advertisements in Above & Beyond, a magazine featured on all First Air flights. While samples were given out to different organizations and government offices involved with the North, the new product was also introduced on the market in the South, in some hotels and restaurants, as well as in some commercial outlets. Since its introduction on the market, tisane sales have increased in a way that was never expected: orders are now often done by the case and some retailers sell close to $1000 in tea bags each month! The tea is now sold through Avataq Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Cultural Institute created for its commercial activities. > The secret recipes for these particular herbal teas belong to Avataq, and are protected under a license. <

42 YOUTH VOICES

The Youth Coordinator of Quartaq, Aloupa Kulula, and I had the opportunity to attend the Aboriginal Youth Entrepreneurship National Conference 2001 in Toronto, from May 23 to 25. The plenary session began with an introduction from Mr. Travis Dugas, acting as the Master of Ceremony. Travis is an actor, traditional dancer, role model, and a keynote speaker at many conferences. He asked us to introduce ourselves to the other participants: who we are, where we come from, and what we do in our field of work. When it was my turn, I intro­ duced myself speaking in Inuttitut: "I'm Adamie Padlayat from Salluit, I work for Makivik Corporation in Kuujjuaq since October 2000, and I came to see what kind of information this conference has to offer to the Youth of Nunavik." Each day, there were at least three different workshops to choose from, in the morning and the afternoon. The first workshop we attended was called "Examining Your Personal, Work and Entrepreneurial Values" and was given by Ms. Yvette Bolduc. In this workshop, the participants were asked to identify their personal and work related values and then to determine which of those values would assist them in becoming a successful entre­ preneur. Our values were our language, culture, as well as health, family, work and security. We also attended a workshop presented by Mr. Travis Dugas

True North 2001 brought northern talent from across Canada to showcase their art in front of an appreciative crowd in Iqaluit, Nunavut. Hosted by Madeleine Alakariallak, performers included Kuujjuaq's rock/metal band Angava, and singer/songwriter Elisapie Isaac from Salluit. Well known performer Gamailee Nookiguak from Qiqiktaarjuaq also took the stage and received an enthusiastic response from the crowd each time he performed with his hit song "Sitjakut Pisutsugna". Folk duo Joe Bishop and Kendall Sullivan of the Yukon, offered upbeat acoustic guitars and vocal harmonies to the concert, and added to the variety of music. Leela Gilday, a Dene woman from Yellowknife, displayed strong classically trained vocals, which could be compared to any Canadian star. Performing at the first True North Concert in Iqaluit in 1980, then called Frobisher Bay, Charlie Panigoniak returned to perform his well known songs along with his natural stage humor which is always a positive addition to a concert line-up. Pat Braden of Yellowknife gave audiences a glimpse of an instrument that many may not be accustomed to hearing. Also playing electric bass, Pat performed using a Chapman Stick, a ten-string instrument combining guitar and bass. Giving the audience a chance to do some square dancing, Kaina Nowdlak of Iqaluit played traditional accordion jigs and livened the crowd. True North's Musical director William Tagoona, one of the original guests at the 1980 concert, also performed during each concert. The concert was also opened and closed with traditional drum dancing by Sylvia Cloutier, Principal David Serkoak and the Joamie School Dancers. With three separate sold out concerts, residents of Iqaluit had the opportunity to see a variety of what Canada's northern artist have to offer. "We've come a long way over the past twenty years" says William Tagoona. "In the original True North, in 1980, a southern house band and a musical director had to be hired. Twenty one years later, the house band and the director are northerners, and we're proud of that" he says. The True North Concert was filmed by CBC North and will be shown in sequences beginning this fall. The concert will also be aired on the national radio this summer. A CD will also be released.
