It has been accepted for inclusion in Dissertations - ALL by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. 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.

  • Nunavut History*
    Nunavut History* The Flag of Nunavut The blue and gold colors are symbolic of the riches of the land, sea and sky. The inuksuk is a symbol of the stone monuments that act as guides for people traveling on the land that also indicates sacred and special places. The North Star is a traditional reference for navigation and also alludes to the leadership of elders in the various communities. Image of inuksuk at Sundown MOTTO NUNAVUT SANGINIVUT means "Nunavut our strength". There was once a world before this, and in it lived people who were not of our tribe. But the pillars of the earth collapsed, and all were destroyed. And the world was emptiness. Then two men grew up from a hummock of earth. They were born and fully grown all at once. And they wished to have children. A magic song changed one of them into a woman, and they had children. These were our earliest forefathers, and from them all the lands were peopled. — Tuglik, Igloolik area, 1922 Nunavut means “our land" in the Inuit language of Inuktitut. Population (2006 census): 30,800m Total Area: 1,994,000km Date of creation of the territory: April 1, 1999 Nunavut Early History The earliest people to inhabit the region now known as Nunavut were the Tuniit (Dorset) people, believed to have crossed the Bering Strait–then a land bridge–from Russia approximately 5,000 years ago. The Tuniit were the sole occupants of the land until about 1,000 years ago, when the Thule, the ancestors of today's Inuit, began appearing in the area.

  • Traditional Inuit Stories by Noel K. Mcdermott a Thesis
    Unikkaaqtuat: Traditional Inuit Stories By Noel K. McDermott A thesis submitted to the Graduate Program in Cultural Studies in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada April, 2015 Copyright © Noel McDermott, 2015 Abstract Commentary on Inuit language, culture and traditions, has a long history, stretching at least as far back as 1576 when Martin Frobisher encountered Inuit on the southern shores of Baffin Island. The overwhelming majority of this vast collection of observations has been made by non-Inuit, many of whom spent limited time getting acquainted with the customs and history of their objects of study. It is not surprising, therefore, that the lack of Inuit voice in all this literature, raises serious questions about the credibility of the descriptions and the validity of the information. The Unikkaaqtuat: Traditional Inuit Stories project is presented in complete opposition to this trend and endeavours to foreground the stories, opinions and beliefs of Inuit, as told by them. The unikkaaqtuat were recorded and translated by professional Inuit translators over a five day period before an audience of Inuit students at Nunavut Arctic College, Iqaluit, Nunavut in October 2001. Eight Inuit elders from five different Nunavut communities told stories, discussed possible meanings and offered reflections on a broad range of Inuit customs and beliefs. What emerges, therefore, is not only a collection of stories, but also, a substantial body of knowledge about Inuit by Inuit, without the intervention of other voices. Editorial commentary is intentionally confined to correction of spellings and redundant repetitions.
