The Franklin Interim Advisory Committee, com- prising representatives from Inuit organizations, the GN and the heritage and tourism industries, proposed the oral history project in 2016, short- ly after the committee was formed, said Tamara Tara- soff, Parks Canada's project manager for the wrecks of Erebus and Terror. Kamookak was a strong proponent, she noted. "There was a desire to collect this information while the elders were still with us," she said. "The commit- tee wanted to make sure that elders and youth had a chance to interact as part of this project so youth could learn from the elders and keep the stories alive." Barbara Okpik, a Gjoa Haven youth, said she felt lucky to be involved in the project. "Seeing the elders out on the land, talking about their lives, their history and talk- ing about Franklin from our elders' perspective, it's pretty cool," said Okpik, who joined an August 2018 field trip to Terror Bay. "It's really amaz- ing to me that I've been part of this." Tarasoff said there's an "incredible pride" in in Gjoa Haven to accompany the "incredible body of knowledge." The interviews will be compiled in a book manu- script that will be available in Inuktitut, English and French. Some of the content will also be uploaded to the internet. Interviewees were given copies of their videotaped interviews and personalized maps created through their shared knowledge of places. "So the project continues within the families," Tarasoff said. kNKu W?9oxJ5, N[Z/su, ᒫµ5y 11, 2019 nunavutnews.com, Monday, March 11, 2019 7 news ᓄĪØflî ᐃᓄᐃᑦ ᐃᖅᑲᐅᒪᓂᖏᓐᓂ ᕗᕌᖕᒃᓕᓐ ᓱᕋᑦᑎᓂᐅᔪᓄᑦ ᓴᖅᑭᒃᑲᓐᓂᖅᐳᑦ ᑎᑎᖅᑲᖁᑕᐅᔪᑦ ᐸᐸᑦᑎᓂᕐᒧᑦ ᐅᖃᐅᓯᒃᑯᑦ ᐊᑐᖅᑕᐅᓚᐅᖅᓯᒪᔪᓂ ᐱᔾᔪᑎᖃᖅᑐᓂ ᐅᒥᐊᕐᔪᐊᓂ ᐃᕆᐸᔅᒥ ᐊᒻᒪ ᑎᐊᕈᕐᒥ

From: Mishak Allurut

Dear Editor: On March 1, 2019 at around 1:47 a.m. in Arctic Bay, Nunavut, Sonya Qaum- ayuq Allurut passed on after slipping and hitting her head. Sonya was full of energy although suffering from a liver disease all her life and having to travel to Ottawa for treatment every year. Sonya was known to many people in the 13 years she lived. We want to thank every- one whom helped her and knew her, as well as Health Staff both in Nunavut and in Ottawa for always being will- ing to help Sonya.
