Everything was in darkness, the lands could not be seen, the animals could not be seen. And still, both people and animals lived on the earth, but there was no difference between them… A person could become and animal, and an animal could become a human being. There were wolves, bears, and foxes but as soon as they turned into humans they were the same. They may have had different habits but all spoke the same tongue, lived in the same kind of house, and spoke and hunted in the same way. That is the way they lived here on earth in the very earliest times, times that no one can understand now. That was the time when magic words were made. A word spoken by chance would suddenly become powerful, and what people wanted to happen could happen, and nobody could explain how it was.

  • Using GPS Mapping Software to Plot Place Names and Trails in Igloolik (Nunavut) CLAUDIO APORTA1
    ARCTIC VOL. 56, NO. 4 (DECEMBER 2003) P. 321–327 New Ways of Mapping: Using GPS Mapping Software to Plot Place Names and Trails in Igloolik (Nunavut) CLAUDIO APORTA1 (Received 11 July 2001; accepted in revised form 10 February 2003) ABSTRACT. The combined use of a GPS receiver and mapping software proved to be a straightforward, flexible, and inexpensive way of mapping and displaying (in digital or paper format) 400 place names and 37 trails used by Inuit of Igloolik, in the Eastern Canadian Arctic. The geographic coordinates of some of the places named had been collected in a previous toponymy project. Experienced hunters suggested the names of additional places, and these coordinates were added on location, using a GPS receiver. The database of place names thus created is now available to the community at the Igloolik Research Centre. The trails (most of them traditional, well-traveled routes used in Igloolik for generations) were mainly mapped while traveling, using the track function of a portable GPS unit. Other trails were drawn by experienced hunters, either on paper maps or electronically using Fugawi mapping software. The methods employed in this project are easy to use, making them helpful to local communities involved in toponymy and other mapping projects. The geographic data obtained with this method can be exported easily into text files for use with GIS software if further manipulation and analysis of the data are required. Key words: Inuit place names, Inuit trails, mapping, Geographic Information System, GIS, Global Positioning System, GPS, Igloolik, toponymy RÉSUMÉ. L’utilisation combinée d’un récepteur GPS et d’un logiciel de cartographie s’est révélée être une façon directe, souple et peu coûteuse de cartographier et de présenter (sous forme numérique ou imprimée) 400 lieux-dits et 37 pistes utilisés par les Inuits d’Igloolik, dans l’est de l’Arctique canadien.

Although we did not have a chance to meet in Toronto, Ron’s enthusiasm brought this project to life. Ron and I made numerous phone calls simply trying to choose a suitable topic and define the scope of the project. Once the research topic was chosen, Dr. Kim Speers helped me write up a research proposal, get an approval from Human Research Ethics Board at University of Victoria, and put all research findings together. She supported me throughout the course of this MPA project. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to both of them for their aspiring guidance, constructive criticism, and invaluable advice. I am truly grateful to them for sharing their views and providing suggestions on a number of issues related to this project. I would also use this opportunity to express my gratitude to Dan Galway at Iqaluit Centennial Library, Catherine Hoyt at Government of Nunavut, Rae-Lynne Aramburo at St.

  • Tununiq-Does Not Face the Sun
    Tununiq-Does Not Face the Sun “Tununiq” is the term used to describe the Pond Inlet area. Tununiq means that the community does not face the sun during the day. Bylot Island faces the sun and the temperature is much warmer than that of Pond Inlet. “The land that faces away from the sun” Nunavut Handbook. People of Pond Inlet often call themselves “Tununirmiut” and they are referred to as such by surrounding communities. Mittimatalik ( where Mittima is ) is the Inuktitut term for Pond Inlet. A person from Pond Inlet may be called “Mittimatalingmiutaq” ( place ) or “Tununirmiutaq” ( area ). A “Tununirmiutaq” may live anywhere in the Tununiq area, not necessarily in Pond Inlet. Arctic Bay is called ‘Tununirusiq’ in Inuktitut. Meaning “smaller” place that does not face the sun. Arctic Bay also faces away from the sun during the day. People living in and around Arctic Bay are also known as “ Tununirusirmiut”. The traditional name for Arctic Bay is “Ikpiarjuk” meaning pocket. There are three regions in Nunavut Territory: Qikiqtaaluk ( Baffin ), Qitirmiut (Kitikmeot), and Kivalliq (Keewatin ). Each region has its own named areas. Each of the area may contain one or more communities. Here are other areas in Nunavut that I’m aware of ( There are more): Amitturmiut Ahiarmiut Qairnirmiut Tariurmiut Akunnirmiut Uqqurmiut Quttikturmiut Tasiujarmiut Paallirmiut Akullirmiut Aivilingmiut Nattilingmiut Sikusiilarmiut Aggurmiut Qikiqtamiut Tununirmiut Tasiujarjuarmiut I can easily say that I’m Mittimatalingmiutaq ( from Pond Inlet ), Tununiq region, Nunavut territory on the North tip of Baffin Island in Canada.

  • Changing the Role of Non-Indigenous Research Partners in Practice to Support Inuit Self-Determination in Research1
    127 ARTICLE Changing the role of non-Indigenous research partners in practice to support Inuit self-determination in research1 K.J. Wilson, T. Bell, A. Arreak, B. Koonoo, D. Angnatsiak, and G.J. Ljubicic Abstract: Efforts to date have not advanced Indigenous participation, capacity building and knowledge in Arctic environmental science in Canada because Arctic environmental science has yet to acknowledge, or truly practice decolonizing research. The expanding liter- ature on decolonizing and Indigenous research provides guidance towards these alternative research approaches, but less has been written about how you do this in practice and the potential role for non-Indigenous research partners in supporting Inuit self-determination in research. This paper describes the decolonizing methodology of a non-Indigenous researcher partner and presents a co-developed approach, called the Sikumiut model, for Inuit and non-Indigenous researchers interested in supporting Inuit self-determination. In this model the roles of Inuit and non-Indigenous research partners were redefined, with Inuit governing the research and non-Indigenous research partners training and mentoring Inuit youth to conduct the research themselves. The Sikumiut model shows how having Inuit in decision-making positions ensured Inuit data ownership, accessibility, and control over how their Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit is documented, communicated, and respected for its own scientific merit. It examines the benefits and potential to build on the existing research capacity of Inuit youth and describes the guidance and lessons learned from a non-Indigenous researcher in supporting Inuit self-determination in research.
