Sanarrutik Fact
In the previous issues of Makivik Magazine a section called “JBNQA Fact” was printed to highlight the elements involved in the implementation of The James Bay and Northern Quebec Agreement within Nunavik Since there was a new Agreement Sanarrutik: the Partnership Agreement on Economic Development and Community Development in Nunavik recently signed by Makivik and the KRG with the Québec Government we will now provide certain details of its contents instead Funding for community and economic development projects Québec will pay to Makivik and KRG jointly or subject to agreement of the parties to Makivik and KRG separately the following amounts totalling: • million in the first year of the Agreement; • million in the second year of the Agreement;
• million in the third year and each subsequent year of the Agreement SAMMY KUDLUK The first annual payment shall be made within sixty ( ) days of the date of execution of this Agreement and thereafter the annual amounts shall be paid in four ( ) equal installments approximately three months apart
The Association of Montreal Inuit (AMI) now has a place to call home from which they can meet some of their needs as a thriving community No longer will the Association work only from a small office storage space provided by Makivik with Victor Mesher's cell phone as the only means of communication While the new premises are under renovations at the time of this writing the AMI hopes to be in it’s new headquarters by mid October at the latest with an official open ing on the November th The building is divided into three areas The first area is designated for an Inuit Arts and Crafts boutique which will be called “Creations Aurore Boreale / Aurora Borealis Creations” in reference to the splendorous northern lights It will sell products produced by Inuit for southern clientele: items such as clothing Nunavik Arctic Foods products books and magazines on the Inuit culture and the Arctic in general as well as Inuttitut music carvings and paintings Any excess rev enue generated through sales will go back into their charity for various activities As an example they hope to be able to sponsor Inuit children living in Montreal to attend a summer camp next year The second section of the building will be used for the AMI’s offices The third section of the building will have a much larger purpose for the general Inuit population in Montreal function ing as a cultural / drop in center Much of AMI's future activi ties will center on this section including many of their month ly feasts It will also be open to the general Inuit public in the daytime from AM to PM On the weekday evenings from PM to PM they plan to have different activities organized for the various segments of the Inuit population living in the area such as a study hall for Inuit students or a space for women in Montreal for medical reasons — perhaps as a change of atmos phere from Nunavik House and a place to do some sewing and socializing The space might also be used for Inuttitut courses Much of the inspiration for this facility comes from the fact there is a similar structure in Ottawa which gathers fund ing from various federal departments and general public pro grams This is the direction the AMI will pursue in the coming months to put some meat on the skeleton provided by the good
graces of the Makivik leadership A special word of thanks goes magazine out to Makivik President Pita Aatami and his generous and thoughtful Board of Directors MAKIVIK 51 MAK28637_46TO55_PS_P7 10/23/02 10:35 PM Page 52

A Story of Killiniq Levina Saluarsiak Aupaluk
MARTIN SCOTT MARTIN x3nî5 csmt5y?5g5 kN[oµu The northern lights that shine so bright all over Nunavik.
I was born in Killiniq on November In we moved to Aupaluk and then we moved to the other side of the bay in Aupaluk in I like living in Aupaluk better than in Killiniq The climate is warmer there is more fauna and the skies are less overcast It is very different in Killiniq where the weather is colder and you cannot go places by ATV or truck There are a lot of polar bears there The wind constantly blows and almost daily the skies are overcast — the sun hardly ever shines there I finally got to go back there in the year years after we had left We took a long boat ride that lasted for nearly hours When we got there I saw our first house that was known back then as "matchbox houses" These houses had been cleaned and set on fire to burn away At this site I found my mother's ulu She recognized it as her own when I showed it to her and she started using it again when she was sewing clothing I have a vivid memory of my childhood The thing that made me happiest was when an Otter aircraft landed in the water in front of our village in Killiniq The pilot may have been Johnny May along with a co pilot I remember our husky dogs Mark Onningnak took my father's dog team to go to Kangirsuk in Nunavik He later told us that our dogs saved his life when he was in danger I recall when government had our dogs slaughtered back in Those dogs were very good huskies When we lived in Killiniq my father and I would go seal hunting by dog team
My father once caught a very big seal and I remember sitting on the seal which was on top of the qamutik as we head magazine ed back home I learned that I had many relatives in Nunavik I have cousins with three uncles from my mother's side as well as four aunts from her side too and more from my father's side Most of my relatives from my mother's side are
living in Kangiqsualujjuaq although some of them live in Kuujjuaq This is my story MAKIVIK 65 MAK28637_56TO68_PS_P11 10/25/02 2:31 PM Page 66
