It has been an interesting, exciting and, indeed, busy year filled with achievements and new challenges. With our staff and office fully established, we are enthusiastic about tackling the intricate language issues facing Nunavut and our new government. Today, two years after it was established, we are witnessing the Government of Nunavut take its first steps in responding to the needs of three co-existing languages, Inuktitut (including Inuinnaqtun), English and French. Certainly, there is enormous work that needs to be done. However, as the new institutions of Nunavut grow stronger, I am encouraged by the fact that so many people within government recognize the fundamental role our languages will play in shaping and defining a new society, unique within Canada. The Office of the Languages Commissioner exists to protect the rights of these language groups as set out in the Offıcial Languages Act. One of the major responsibilities of the Languages Commissioner is to advise the Legislative Assembly on matters related to the government’s language policy. In order to provide the best advice possible to the Government of Nunavut, the Office of the Languages Commissioner needed a proper assessment of the languages used within the government. Over the course of this past year, we spent considerable time conducting a language survey with senior officials from each of the Government of Nunavut’s departments, boards and agencies. The results of the survey are included in this annual report. I would sincerely like to thank all the government organizations that took part in our survey for their co-operation. It is our sincere hope that through proactive collaboration, the Government of Nunavut and the Office of the Languages Commissioner can ensure that language rights are respected and complaints from the public kept to a minimum. This past year saw the beginning of the review of the Offıcial Languages Act that was inherited from the Northwest Territories. Given the importance of language in Nunavut, it is fitting that theOffıcial Languages Act will be one of the first pieces of legislation to be amended by the Legislative Assembly. The next few years will be very important as the special committee that has been appointed to conduct the review, works with government departments, the Office of the Languages Commissioner, Inuit organizations, and communities throughout Nunavut to develop new language legislation. There are significant changes that need to be made so - that the Offıcial Languages Act truly reflects the wishes and the needs of the people of Nunavut. I encourage all Nunavummiut to provide their input on how the government can best meet its language obligations. Through my travels to communities in Nunavut and conferences both here and abroad, I have a renewed sense of the common challenges Aboriginal communities face in ensuring the survival of their languages. Our elders are very concerned over the disheartening loss of language and a general lack of teaching of language skills to young people. Their concerns have been increasing over the last decade. It is imperative that the government and the Inuit organizations collectively seek solid, long-term solutions to this situation, while we still have people with the rich language skills that we are at risk of losing. Language and culture are the fruit of our well-being: they help define who we are and provide an enormous source of pride for all. Indeed, the determination to ensure the survival of our language and culture was what sustained so many Inuit in the long struggle to create Nunavut. I am pleased to provide you with the highlights of our activities over the past year and look forward to our continuing work together in the years to come. I would like to extend special thanks to my staff and that of the Legislative Assembly for their assistance in producing this year’s report. Roles and Responsibilities of the Languages Commissioner The duties of Nunavut’s Languages Commissioner are detailed in the Offıcial Languages Act. Based on the provisions of the Act, and the history of this office in the Northwest Territories, there are a number of different functions the Languages Commissioner serves. a. The Role of Ombudsman One of the central responsibilities of the Languages Commissioner is to receive, investigate and report on complaints from the public regarding violations of their language rights. The language rights and obligations contained in the Offıcial Languages Act include: • The right to use any of the official languages in the Legislative Assembly; • The right to use any of the official languages in Nunavut’s courts; • The right of the public to communicate with and receive services from all head offices

Section 61 of Nunavut’s Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act provides that the Commissioner of Nunavut, on the recommendation of the Legislative Assembly, shall appoint an Information and Privacy Commissioner. The position is one of a number of independent officers who report directly to the Legislative Assembly. The purposes of the Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act are to make public bodies more accountable to the public and to protect personal privacy by giving the public a right of access to records held by public bodies; giving individuals a right of access to, and a right to request correction of, personal information about themselves held by public bodies; specifying limited exceptions to the rights of access; preventing the unauthorized collection, use or disclosure of personal information by public bodies; and providing for an independent review of decisions made under the Act.

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.

  • Indigenous Autonomy in Nunavut: Canada's Present & Australia's
    June 29, 1998 Indigenous Autonomy in Nunavut: Canada’s Present & Australia’s Possibilities by Peter Jull1 A Discussion Paper for the Centre for Democracy, Department of Government, University of Queensland (Presented in Public Seminar, May 27, 1998) PART I – BACKGROUND Introduction This paper reports on the emergence of Nunavut, Canada’s new ‘northern territory’.2 Many implicit and some explicit parallels to Australia are shown. North America has seen major recent indigenous innovations, from Alaska self-government and development corporations to Greenland home rule. In Canada the so-called native movement has transformed national identity and political culture, while transforming ‘native’ Canada more slowly and uncertainly.3 (Jull 1992f) Australia has much to gain by studying such overseas ‘first world’ experience (as Russians are now doing). The recent federal Parliamentary report on Torres Strait autonomy noted Nunavut as an interesting model (Lieberman et al 1997), while others have denounced it.4 There are obvious parallels between Canadian Inuit and Torres Strait Islanders. Both are much less known, numerous, or visible than another indigenous people in the same country (i.e., 'Indians' and 'Aborigines'). Both resent and resist policies and institutional frameworks which include them with that indigenous majority.5 Both inhabit areas remote from the population centres of the country, places few Canadians or Australians expect ever to see. Both are cultures so different from the traditions of the country's majority that little real national understanding or appreciation of them exists. Both draw strength and inspiration from ethnic kin across international borders, some of whom are self-governing. Both are politically marginal, even in comparison with other indigenous people in the country.

    Alienation and Nationalism 247 ALIENATION AND NATIONALISM: IS IT POSSIBLE TO INCREASE FIRST NATIONS VOTER TURNOUT IN ONTARIO? Jennifer Dalton 412A Osgoode Hall Law School York University 4700 Keele Street Toronto, Ontario Canada, M3J 1P3 [email protected] Abstract / Résumé This article assesses whether Aboriginal voter turnout in Ontario can be increased under a different electoral system. The ways in which the first- past-the-post electoral system affects voter turnout among Aboriginal peoples are assessed, including an historical examination of Aboriginal electoral politics in Canada and corresponding low levels of Aboriginal voter turnout. Newly-collected, cross-time comparative data are pre- sented on First Nations voter turnout in Ontario elections. The data are assessed within the context of Aboriginal alienation and nationalism, with the purpose of determining the role that each plays in affecting Aboriginal turnout. Finally, options for improving Aboriginal voter turn- out are evaluated. L’article évalue si la participation électorale des Autochtones en Ontario pourrait être accrue en adoptant un système électoral différent. L’auteur évalue les incidences du système majoritaire uninominal sur la participation électorale des Autochtones en procédant, entre autres, à un examen historique de la politique électorale des Autochtones au Canada et des faibles niveaux correspondants de participation des Autochtones. On présente des données comparatives temporelles, nouvellement recueillies, sur la participation électorale des Autochtones en Ontario. On évalue les données dans le contexte de l’aliénation et du nationalisme autochtones en vue de déterminer le rôle de chacun de ces facteurs dans la participation électorale des Autochtones. L’auteur évalue aussi les options d’amélioration de la participation électorale autochtone.

Depuis l’apprentissage du syllabique jusqu’aux sites de socialisation sur Internet, des expériences individuelles sont présentées et explicitent le contexte et les attitudes linguistiques qui gouvernent les choix de langue en fonction du mode d’expression. Le caractère marginal de l’écriture en langue inuit ressort nettement dans ce portrait des pratiques, quelle que soit la vitalité de la langue à l’oral. Cette restriction sur l’épanouissement de l’inuktitut dans tous les domaines possibles d’utilisation fragilise l’équilibre d’une nécessaire relation de complémentarité avec l’anglais. Une étude de la situation linguistique au Groenland laisse entrevoir une autre réalité, ce qui suscite plusieurs questionnements. La diversité dialectale, l’expérience d’urbanisation, les dynamiques économiques et les mobilisations identitaires influencent les pratiques de l’écriture. Les conséquences quant à l’effort de promotion de la langue inuit en sont tirées. Mots clés : écriture syllabique, Nunavut, langue inuit. ii Abstract Literacy practices in Iqaluit, the capital of Nunavut, and Igloolik, a smaller community located in the northern Baffin region, illustrate the daily management of bilingualism by the speakers of the new territory.
