Prime Minister of Canada Parliament of Canada Ottawa , Ontario K1A OA2 Dear Prime Minister Trudeau, I write on behalf of Nunavummiut, to express my concern about a distressing issue that remains unresolved, after nearly 50 years- the extradition of Fr. Joannes Rivoire from France. It has come to my attention that the federal government has decided not to pursue the extradition of Fr. Rivoire. In January 2018, former Premier Paul Quassa wrote to you , expressing his support for this extradition. I have included his original letter in this package. From what I understand, a reply was never provided, and we have since learned that this extradition process has been abandoned from a recent media report. The alleged crimes of Fr. Rivoire have created a devastating legacy in Nunavut, one that continues to impact our families, and cultivate lingering trauma. I am dismayed that we were never extended the courtesy of notice about this decision, and I re-iterate the urgency of exploring the extradition of Fr. Rivoire as soon as possible. His alleged victims in Nunavut deserve justice, and to begin to heal from this dark chapter. I thank you in advance for your understanding of the gravity of this issue, and to the fair resolution to this situation. I look forward to hearing from you on updates about this Issue. s1 relY , ~avik;a::Ot ~"a"'q"""'A.---I'>""a; Premier of Nunavut cc: The Honourable Jeannie Ehaloak, Nunavut Minister of Justice The Honourable David Lametti, federal Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada Kathy Okpik, Nunavut Deputy Minister of Executive and Intergovernmental Affairs 8ill MacKay, Nunavut Deputy Minister of Justice nn~b d&\ <J 24 10 P.O.

Hon. Justin Trudeau, P.C., M.P. Prime Minister of Canada Parliament of Canada Ottawa, Ontario K1A OA2 January 22, 2018 Dear Prime Minister Trudeau, Re : Support for the Extradition of Joannes Rivolre from France I am writing to join my voice to those of my fellow Nunavummiut and Inuit Canadians on a matter of great concern .. Fr. Joannes Rivoire worked as a Catholic missionary in the 1960s, 19705 and 1980s in communities that are now part of Nunavut. In 1997 the ReMP laid charges against him related to sexual abuse that he is alleged to have committed against children in communities in the Kivalliq region of NunavU! between 1968 and 1970. He has now been the subject of an active RCMP arrest warrant for 20 years. Fr. Rivoire is a French national and fled there in 1993 five years prior to the warrant being issued. As a result, he has never faced trial in Canada for his alleged crimes .. This fact weighs heavily on the minds of those who have accused him, as well as their friends and families, who wish to see Fr. Rivoire brought to trial. Led by the determined efforts of Piita Irniq, former Commissioner of Nunavut, repeated calls have been made by Inuit organizations and Nunavut politicians for the Government of Canada to pursue the extradition of Fr. Rivoire from France. On behalf of concemed Nunavummiut, I too urge you to explore the extradrtion of Fr. Rivaire, who is now in his late 80s, in a timely fashion .. Should such a request be made and the French authorities refuse to extradite on account of Fr. Rivoire's French nationality, as is their right under Article 3 of the Extradition Treaty Between the Government of Canada and the Government of the Republic of France E101343 - CTS 1989 No. 38. I would ask that your government secure assurances from the French authorities that Fr. Rivoire will be prosecuted in France, as is their obligation upon refusal..

  • Unlearning Qallunaat Ways 1
    Running Head: Unlearning Qallunaat Ways 1 Unlearning Qallunaat Ways: Self-Reflection and Transformation While Working in Nunavut A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Education In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Education University of Prince Edward Island Charlottetown, PE October 22, 2017 UNLEARNING QALLUNAAT WAYS 2 Abstract The purpose of this thesis is to explore my personal journey of transformation as it took place while working with Inuit educational leaders and youth in Nunavut from 2011 to 2015. Using autoethnography, I provide a background to who I was before working with Inuit, and then go on to explore how I learned about the history of education in Nunavut, about the process of colonization, and the emotions felt as I struggled to come to terms with my privilege as a white, middle-class Canadian and descendant of European settlers while working within an Indigenous context. I conclude by sharing the importance of building relationships as a way of healing and moving forward with a goal of becoming an ally and trying to do my small part in the reconciliation process. KEY WORDS: Qallunaat, autoethnography, Nunavut, Inuit, settler UNLEARNING QALLUNAAT WAYS 3 Dedication An Inuit educational leader and participant in the Nunavut Master of Education program 2010-2013 shared the following advice: [N]o matter how difficult, no matter how negative it seems, you need to move forward. Like my late grandmother would always say, “In life, you will come across boulders that will stop you from moving on the path. Go around that boulder, go over that boulder, but don’t go under it because then you will force whatever is slowing you down to overpower you.” Think of this program as a tool, as a way to overcome the issues that you face, that your school faces, and what your community faces.

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.
