They made everyone feel valued for their contribution. Leadership was based on equality and balance, and women always played an integral role. The knowledge and strength of women throughout our history has helped Inuit not only to survive under often challenging conditions, but to thrive. Women continue to be the backbone of our community today. They are grounded in their culture, with a solid understanding of where they come from and with a confidence rooted in Inuit values. The remarkable women featured in this book all work passionately for their communities. Their backgrounds are varied and their work extends far and wide: from political leadership, education, environmental stewardship, to advocacy. These women highlight the importance of leadership at every level in Nunavut. They remind us that leadership does not necessarily need to take place in the public eye to be valued. This book honours the women who stand centre stage, as well as those who work tirelessly behind the scenes. As leaders, we need to honour our ways of knowing and doing and take our responsibilities for past and future generations seriously. We need women mentors and guides, women who practice and contribute to leadership. For us IInuitnuit WWomenomen - SSecondecond EEdition.indddition.indd 1111 22011-01-19011-01-19 115:47:375:47:37 12 INUIT WOMEN IN LEADERSHIP AND GOVERNANCE Inuit women, it can be difficult to discuss our own successes; we are modest and do not always consider ourselves to be at the forefront of change. However, showcasing our own role models means illustrating to younger generations that Inuit women have strength, capacity, and resilience. It is my hope that initiatives like these will encourage and inspire women to work at all levels of leadership and to contribute to positive change in our territory and beyond. The Honourable Eva Aariak, Premier of Nunavut, Minister Responsible for the Status of Women Iqaluit, August 19, 2010 IInuitnuit WWomenomen - SSecondecond EEdition.indddition.indd 1122 22011-01-19011-01-19 115:47:375:47:37 Acknowledgements It is a great privilege for us to have collaborated on this fascinating book with such remarkable people. We are sincerely grateful to all those who so readily agreed to contribute: Donna Adams, Nancy Anilniliak, Okalik Eegeesiak, Leena Evic, Ann Meekitjuk Hanson, Rhoda Innuksuk, Nancy Karetak-Lindell, Madeleine Redfern, Joan Scottie, Elisapee Sheutiapik, Manitok Thompson, and Sheila Watt-Cloutier. We learned a lot from each of them about the courage it takes to speak up and take a stand. Their trust and self-confidence allowed us to record the kind of moving testimonies that they share with a broader public in this book. We sincerely thank the Premier of Nunavut and Minister Responsible for the Status of Women, the Honourable Eva Aariak, who graciously agreed to write a foreword. As the only woman member of the current Nunavut Legislative Assembly, and as the first woman premier of Nunavut, she is surely an inspiration to all. The project to publish a book about the important public contributions of Nunavut Inuit women originated with the Qulliit Nunavut Status of Women Council. It was obvious that such a book was needed, especially after the appearance of Nunavut Arctic College’s recent book series, “Life Stories of Northern Leaders”, for which the life stories of five male Inuit public figures were published. Qulliit was particularly interested in a publication that would present the voices of Inuit women leaders because they IInuitnuit WWomenomen - SSecondecond EEdition.indddition.indd 1133 22011-01-19011-01-19 115:47:375:47:37 14 INUIT WOMEN IN LEADERSHIP AND GOVERNANCE were planning the Arnait Nipingit (Women’s Voices) Leadership

The people of Nunavut will have come a long way in a very short period of time. April 1,I 999 represents a major milestone on the long hard road to self-determination. It also marks the beginning of the real work that remains to be done - the daily challenge of improving the quality of life in the communities. In preparation for the post-1999 period, the Nunavut lmplementation Commission has begun to shift its focus from designing the Nunavut Government to addressing social and economic policy issues. A government administrative structure is an empty shell without a social and economic agenda to guide it. The Future of Work in Nunavut Conference succeeded in putting us back in touch with our common goals.

  • Tukitaaqtuq Explain to One Another, Reach Understanding, Receive Explanation from the Past and the Eskimo Identification Canada System
    Tukitaaqtuq explain to one another, reach understanding, receive explanation from the past and The Eskimo Identification Canada System by Norma Jean Mary Dunning A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Faculty of Native Studies University of Alberta ©Norma Jean Mary Dunning, 2014 ABSTRACT The government of Canada initiated, implemented, and officially maintained the ‘Eskimo Identification Canada’ system from 1941-1971. With the exception of the Labrador Inuit, who formed the Labrador Treaty of 1765 in what is now called, NunatuKavat, all other Canadian Inuit peoples were issued a leather-like necklace with a numbered fibre-cloth disk. These stringed identifiers attempted to replace Inuit names, tradition, individuality, and indigenous distinctiveness. This was the Canadian governments’ attempt to exert a form of state surveillance and its official authority, over its own Inuit citizenry. The Eskimo Identification Canada system, E- number, or disk system eventually became entrenched within Inuit society, and in time it became a form of identification amongst the Inuit themselves. What has never been examined by an Inuk researcher, or student is the long-lasting affect these numbered disks had upon the Inuit, and the continued impact into present-day, of this type of state-operated system. The Inuit voice has not been heard or examined. This research focuses exclusively on the disk system itself and brings forward the voices of four disk system survivors, giving voice to those who have been silenced for far too long. i PREFACE This thesis is an original work by Norma Dunning. The research project, of which this thesis is a part, received research ethics approval from the University of Alberta Research Ethics Board, Project Name: “Tukitaaqtuq (they reach understanding) and the Eskimo Identification Canada system,” PRO00039401, 05/07/2013.
