The people of Nunavut will have come a long way in a very short period of time. April 1,I 999 represents a major milestone on the long hard road to self-determination. It also marks the beginning of the real work that remains to be done - the daily challenge of improving the quality of life in the communities. In preparation for the post-1999 period, the Nunavut lmplementation Commission has begun to shift its focus from designing the Nunavut Government to addressing social and economic policy issues. A government administrative structure is an empty shell without a social and economic agenda to guide it. The Future of Work in Nunavut Conference succeeded in putting us back in touch with our common goals.

The Inuit Movement in Canada's Newest Territory Holly Ann Dobbins Syracuse University Follow this and additional works at: https://surface.syr.edu/etd Part of the Social and Behavioral Sciences Commons Recommended Citation Dobbins, Holly Ann, "Nunavut, A Creation Story. The Inuit Movement in Canada's Newest Territory" (2019).

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.

  • The Constitutional Development of the Northwest Territories
    Aboriginal Self-Government in the Northwest Territories Supplementary Booklet 2 The Constitutional Development of the Northwest Territories Executive 1999 The Constitutional Development The Constitutionalof Development of thethe NorthwestNorthwest Territories Territories WhatWhat is is a Constitution? a Constitution? A constitution is the basic laws and rules that set out how a nation, people, region or group is governed. The Constitution Act of 1982, describes the Constitution of Canada as "the supreme law of Canada". Some writers use the term "constitution" in a wider sense than others. One of Canada’s constitutional experts, the late Eugene Forsey, describes Canada’s constitution as "the set of arrangements by which we govern ourselves." In this sense, documents like the Constitution Acts of 1867 and 1982 are "the skeleton, not the whole body." This view is consistent with that of the NWT’s Constitutional Working Group which, in Partners In A New Beginning, describes the constitution of the NWT as made up of: • The Northwest Territories Act (NWT Act) • Political traditions, called 'conventions' • Important territorial acts like the Elections Act • Treaties • Aboriginal land claim agreements • Aboriginal traditions and practices • Other federal acts (e.g. DIAND Act, Territorial Lands Act ) • Principles established by the courts. Described in this way, the "constitution" of the NWT is not rigidly fixed. It changes frequently and includes feder- al, territorial and Aboriginal authorities, institutions and practices. Nevertheless, the NWT Act is of particular importance for setting out the legal framework of the The first permanent Legislative Assembly building of the NWT (opened, Government of the Northwest 1993). Territories (GNWT). photo: Jiri Hermann ConfederationConfederation In 1867, the British Parliament passed the British North America Act (now known as the Constitution Act, 1867 ) to set up the Dominion of Canada.

  • Alberta, NWT Pledge Closer Ties on Transportation, Energy and Natural Resources
    Creating Opportunity February 13, 2009 Alberta, NWT pledge closer ties on transportation, energy and natural resources Yellowknife... Discussions on the present economic situation, its effects, and issues related to transportation, energy and natural resources were on the agenda for Alberta Minister of Finance and Enterprise Iris Evans and Northwest Territories Minister of Finance J. Michael Miltenberger, at a meeting in Yellowknife February 13. The Ministers met in their capacity as Co-Chairs of the Alberta - Northwest Territories Memorandum of Understanding for Co-operation and Development. They were joined by Northwest Territories Premier Floyd Roland, Northwest Territories Minister of Industry, Tourism and Investment Bob McLeod and Alberta MLA Robin Campbell, chair of the Northern Alberta Development Council. “The goal of our discussions was to identify areas where we benefit from working together with our close neighbours and friends in Alberta,” Miltenberger said. The Co-Chairs received a Memorandum of Understanding being developed to facilitate the co-operation of their two governments in the protection and recovery of shared populations of boreal woodland Caribou. The Co-Chairs also discussed mutual transportation issues with a view to improving trade flows between the two jurisdictions, and were pleased to confirm that their governments are developing an agreement to further co-operate in the management and suppression of wildfires along the Northwest Territories/Alberta border. “This ongoing co-operation between our jurisdictions builds a solid foundation to move forward on issues that are important to the residents of the Northwest Territories and Alberta” said Miltenberger. “Considering our similar geology and geography, and the natural resource development capabilities in Alberta and the Northwest Territories, it makes sense that we work together to take action and develop the North in a way that is mutually beneficial,” Evans said.
