Social Exclusion and the Labrdor Experience: Shaping
SOCIAL EXCLUSION AND THE LABRDOR EXPERIENCE: SHAPING THE POLITICAL AND SOCIAL LANDSCAPE By LISA DENSMORE Integrated Studies Project submitted to Dr. ANGELA SPECHT in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts – Integrated Studies Athabasca, Alberta FEBRUARY, 2013 Social Exclusion and the Labrador Experience: A Culture of Indifference Abstract This study began because I observed that many people in Labrador were forming specific interest groups in order to do three things: to counter the intent of government especially when government intent did not align with specific group intent; to hinder the advancement of other groups with whom one might have differing goals; and, to compete for potentially scarce resources. Formation of specific interest groups did aim to achieve social change but the competitive nature of group formation did not seem healthy, reasonable, or productive in achieving broader community goals. In this paper, I examine the complex historical, social and political relationships in Labrador to understand how complex and varied governance structures and social exclusion have contributed to this challenging political and social landscape in Labrador. In particular, this study has three goals: first, it examines how the political and social landscapes of Labrador have been shaped historically. Second, explores how varying levels of government responded to the many challenges created by community organizations and group affiliation; and third it critically interrogates the role that social exclusion has played in creating a political and social landscape that encompasses so many different groups and organization. Through careful review of the Labrador through the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s conference proceedings and the Provincial Northern Strategic Plan, I examine the complex relationships between historical, social, and political exclusion that has shaped and continues to shape Labrador’s social, political, cultural and economic landscapes. -

Appendix D: Nunatsiavut Regional Impact Assessment
Nunatsiavut Regional Impact Document ITK National Position Document on Canada-Wide Strategy for Management of Municipal Wastewater Effluent Draft January 29, 2008 Sikumiut Sikumiut Environmental Avatilgijingita Management Ltd. Kamajingit 1.0 Introduction and Overview Sikumiut Environmental Management Ltd. (Sikumiut) was retained by ITK to coordinate a review by the Nunatsiavut communities of the proposed Regulatory Framework for Wastewater Treatment. In compiling this response, information was collected through contact with the five Labrador Inuit communities which comprise Nunatsiavut, the portion of Labrador which was the subject of a recently settled Land Claims Agreement. Other sources of information included the Community Accounts website as well as the Municipal Plans for each community. The communities comprising Nunatsiavut (Figure 1) are all located on the North Coast of Labrador adjacent to salt water. There are no road connections. Each community is accessible by air, with twin otter aircraft providing regular service from Happy Valley- Goose Bay to gravel airstrips adjacent to each community. During open water season (July - October) a marine coastal service provides less expensive transport of passengers and goods. Snowmobile trails connect Rigolet, Makkovik and Postville with Upper Lake Melville and the town of Happy Valley-Goose Bay. The total population of the North Coast is approximately 2 500, ranging between approximately 200 (Rigolet and Postville) and 1,000 (Nain). The communities are dominantly (90 – 95%) Inuit. The economies of the communities are based on renewable resources generally (fishing, hunting, wood harvesting) however mining and quarrying have become important contributors in recent years. Tourism is at a modest level, but is expected to grow, especially for Nain with respect to the Torngat Mountains National Park Reserve. -

Guide to Acknowledging First Peoples & Traditional Territory
Guide to Acknowledging First Peoples & Traditional Territory September 2017 CAUT Guide to Acknowledging First Peoples & Traditional Territory September 2017 The following document offers the Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT) recommended territorial acknowledgement for institutions where our members work, organized by province. While most of these campuses are included, the list will gradually become more complete as we learn more about specific traditional territories. When requested, we have also included acknowledgements for other post-secondary institutions as well. We wish to emphasize that this is a guide, not a script. We are recommending the acknowledgements that have been developed by local university-based Indigenous councils or advisory groups, where possible. In other places, where there are multiple territorial acknowledgements that exist for one area or the acknowledgements are contested, the multiple acknowledgements are provided. This is an evolving, working guide. © 2016 Canadian Association of University Teachers 2705 Queensview Drive, Ottawa, Ontario K2B 8K2 \\ 613-820-2270 \\ www.caut.ca Cover photo: “Infinity” © Christi Belcourt CAUT Guide to Acknowledging First Peoples and Traditional Territory September 2017 Contents 1| How to use this guide Our process 2| Acknowledgement statements Newfoundland and Labrador Prince Edward Island Nova Scotia New Brunswick Québec Ontario Manitoba Saskatchewan Alberta British Columbia Canadian Association of University Teachers 3 CAUT Guide to Acknowledging First Peoples and Traditional Territory September 2017 1| How to use this guide The goal of this guide is to encourage all academic staff context or the audience in attendance.
