  • Forty Years of Cultural Change Among the Inuit in Alaska, Canada and Greenland: Some Reflections MARIANNE STENBAEK’
    ARCTIC VOL. 40, NO. 4 (DECEMBER 1987) P. 300-309 Forty Years of Cultural Change among the Inuit in Alaska, Canada and Greenland: Some Reflections MARIANNE STENBAEK’ (Received 27 August 1987; accepted in revised form I October 1987) ABSTRACT. The peoples in the arctic regions have experienced unprecedented cultural change in the last 40 years. The Dene, Metis, Samis, Athapaskans, Inuit and other aboriginal peoplein these regions have all seen their traditionallifestyles altered dramatically with the increasedinflux of southern peoples, withtheir baggage of modemtechnology, bureaucracy and assortedeconomic/political/soial/cultural systems. This paper focuses on the Inuit regions of Alaska, northern Canada and Greenland, for the Inuit have experienced more cultural changes since 1945 than in any other concentrated time span before. Although the changes have often resulted in great human tragedies, such as suicide epidemics and alcoholism, many positive changes have also occurred, as shownby major events in the three Inuit regions examined, as well as the establishment of somecultural and educational institutions. The paper drawson interviews with contemporaryInuit leaders. It concludesthat the Inuitculture is now in the process of being re-affirmed and will indeed be of increasing worldwide importance as the Arctic emerges as a new international and transnational region. Key words: Alaska, northern Canada, Greenland, Inuit, cultural change RÉSUMÉ. Les peuples des régionsarctiques ont subi des mutationsculturelles sans prkcédentdepuis quarante ans. Les Dene, les Métis, les Samis, les Athapaskans, les Inuit et d’autres peuples aborigbnes de ces régions ont tous subi une modification spectaculaire de leurs modes de vie traditionnels devant l’afflux de gens du Suddébarqués avec leur bagage de techniques modernes, de bureaucratie et de systbmes économiques/politiques/sociaux/ culturels assortis.

  • The Expansion of the CBC Northern Service and Community Radio
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by YorkSpace Cultural imperialism of the North? The expansion of the CBC Northern Service and community radio Anne F. MacLennan York University Abstract Radio broadcasting spread quickly across southern Canada in the 1920s and 1930s through the licensing of private independent stations, supplemented from 1932 by the Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commission and by its successor, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, from 1936. Broadcasting in the Canadian North did not follow the same trajectory of development. The North was first served by the Royal Canadian Corps of Signals that operated the Northwest Territories and Yukon Radio System from 1923 until 1959. The northern Canadian radio stations then became part of the CBC. This work explores the resistance to the CBC Northern Broadcasting Plan of 1974, which envisaged a physical expansion of the network. Southern programming was extended to the North; however, indigenous culture and language made local northern programmes more popular. Efforts to reinforce local programming and stations were resisted by the network, while community groups in turn rebuffed the network’s efforts to expand and establish its programming in the North, by persisting in attempts to establish a larger base for community radio. Keywords Canadian radio CBC Northern Service community radio indigenous culture broadcasting Inuktitut Fears of American cultural domination and imperialism partially guided the creation of the Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commission in 1932 and its successor the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) in 1936. However, the possibility of the CBC assuming the role of cultural imperialist when it introduced and extended its service to the North is rarely considered.

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.
