He first became involved in Eeyou Istchee in 2002 when he was invited by the Cree Nation of Oujé- Bougoumou to be a co-investigator in the study of the health impacts from former mining developments in their traditional territory. After that study, he agreed to carry out a community consultation to plan the NA study and has continued his active leadership throughout the years to ensure the successful completion of this report.

We also thank the Chiefs and Councils for approving our project and facilitating the stays of our team in their communities. A perusal of the listings on the preceding pages of investigators, authors, collaborators, clinical and technical staff, and the local support teams, demonstrate that the Nituuchischaayihtitaau Aschii project and our reports constituted team efforts. An inspection of the comparable pages of our interim Mistissini and Eastmain/Wemindji documents (see Chapter 1 for references and online links), reveals that there have been personnel changes at all levels of the investigative team during the 2005-2009 field work period. Although in terms of the data reported the current document focuses on the four communities surveyed in the summer of 2008 (Waskaganish and Chisasibi) and late summer of 2009 (Whapmagoostui and Waswanipi),

    What Was Said . ᐸ3ᓇᓯᒪᐅᑎᒃ KUUJJUARAPIK PARNASIMAUTIK April 30 to May 1, 2013 “I am very passionate about changing Nunavik for the better on all kinds of issues like those we have been speaking about. I want to see all kinds of changes in the north so I can be proud to raise my children here. So here I ask now: Will there be changes? Will we leave this meeting and no changes will happen in the near future? Or will we succeed in making Nunavik an even better place to live?’’ – Youth Participant. Who We Are (Culture and Identity • Harvesting • Lands • Environmental and Regional Planning) Our language has to be preserved. Nunavimmiut should read Illirijavut, the Avataq language report. The KSB, too, needs to receive better funding to develop Inuktitut teaching materials. If clothes-making is also a part of our culture, material should be provided for the girls’ culture class in our school? There is a big gap between what we have and what we need in terms of land. Many people from Kuujjuarapik will never see their Category II lands which are far from the community, near Umiujaq. The issue has been discussed for many years and Nowadays, youth always seem to be on their ipods, needs to be resolved. and elders are not passing on their knowledge. Subsurface rights and category lands south of the Young people should not have to see in their 55th parallel: these are some of our other communities spray-painted graffiti on buildings, challenges. As well, the more mining and holes in facility walls and broken windows.
