  • Rapporteur's Summary
    Aboriginal Self-Governance in North America Canadian Studies Program University of California at Berkeley April 27–28, 2012 Rapporteur’s Summary by Stephen Pitcher The conference on Aboriginal self-governance was preceded by a convivial (and delicious!) banquet, at which keynote speaker J.R. Miller supplied a masterful overview of the topic. His historical insights provided an extremely useful basis for the discussions of Native identity and governance that ensued. Dr. Miller began by quoting from an 1830 Ontario document codifying widespread modifi- cations in Ojibwe (Chippewa) governance, which incorporates aspects of the incoming set- tlers’ law into traditional practice (e.g., election, rather than first-son succession, of chiefs). While proclaiming their intention to govern themselves “according to our ancient cus- toms,” this melding of past and present-day features acknowledged the likelihood of long- term coexistence with the European newcomers. Self-governance had long been the norm among pre-contact First Nation peoples, in a va- riety of styles tailored to the needs and conditions of the individual groups. Miller provid- ed a detailed survey of these governance styles, from the fragile autonomy of Mi’kmaq chiefs, to the more “prominent and directive” institutions of less densely populated groups like the Haudenosaunee, to the matrilineal and matrilocal Iroquois (whose all- important corn was farmed by women). Many groups participated in intratribal councils, while retaining considerable autonomy for their communities. Particularly among smaller, or more nomadic, groups, a high level of democracy existed, with individuals able to move freely from band to band if they so desired. Leadership accountability was widespread, with an unsatisfactory performance leading to the leader’s replacement.

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). Dissertations - ALL. 1097. https://surface.syr.edu/etd/1097 This Dissertation is brought to you for free and open access by the SURFACE at SURFACE. 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.

  • Press Release
    PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CULTURAL ADAPTATION OF THE YPA: OFFICIAL LETTER OF INTENT Kuujjuaq, July 19th, 2018 – On behalf of the Sukait Working Group on the cultural adaptation of the youth protection services, the Nunavik Regional Board of Health and Social Services (NRBHSS) is pleased to announce that the Quebec Government has officially been notified of the region’s intent to act in the scope of section 37.5 of the Youth Protection Act. This article allows Indigenous communities to conclude an agreement with the Quebec Government for the cultural adaptation of the Youth Protection services according to their culture, beliefs, customs and values. In its strategic plan 2009-2016, the NRBHSS mandated the Regional Advisory Committee on Youth Services (RACYS) to assess the regionalization of youth and family services in priority. The objective is to ensure that the services provided to youths and their families are organized in a comprehensive and coherent manner while being culturally relevant and appropriate. Nunavik leaders identified the development of cultural adaptations to the Youth Protection program as being core, to better respond to the specific needs of youth and their families. In May 2017, Mina Beaulne was appointed as the Nunavik Integrated Youth and Family Services Advisor and currently leads this project. Ms. Beaulne has been presented the project to all the major organizations and to all the communities in Nunavik. As a result, NRBHSS, Makivik Corporation, Kativik Ilisarniliriniq, Qarjuit Youth Council, Nunavik Elders committee, Saturviit Women’s association, Avataq and Northern Villages are mobilized under the current initiative. They support the creation of a special youth protection program and each of their Board of Directors passed resolutions pledging support to the project, are actively collaborating in the process and approving the NRBHSS’ leadership in doing so.

  • Final Report
    Public Inquiry Commission on relations between Indigenous Peoples and certain public services in Québec: listening, reconciliation and progress Final report Public Inquiry Commission on relations between Indigenous Peoples and certain public services in Québec: listening, reconciliation and progress Final report NOTE TO READERS In keeping with the Indigenous languages, the Commission has endeavoured to reconcile the terminology used with the spelling preferred by the Indigenous peoples themselves. As such, the names used to designate the First Nations communities are those used in the Indigenous languages. The same goes for the nations. The unchanging nature of certain Indigenous words (e.g. Inuit) has also been observed. The term First Nations includes the Abénakis, Anishnabek (Algonquins), Atikamekw Nehirowisiw, Eeyou (Cree), Hurons-Wendat, Innus, Malécites, Mi’gmaq, Mohawks and Naskapis. The expression Indigenous peoples designates First Nations and Inuit collectively. Also note that translations of quotations are our own, unless otherwise stated. This publication was drafted following the work of the Public Inquiry Commission on relations between Indigenous Peoples and certain public services in Québec : listening, reconciliation and progress.
