2014-2015 NS Annual Report.Pptx Nunavut Sivuniksavut The award-winning college program for Inuit Youth Annual Activity Report 2014-2015 Celebrating 30 Years of Inuit Education ! 450 Rideau St. Suite 201, Ottawa, ON K1N 5Z4 Tel: 613-244-4937 Fax: 613-244-0058 [email protected] www.nstraining.ca Registered Charitable # 86880 1630 RT0001 www.nstraining.ca Message from the Chair On behalf of the Board of NS, I'm pleased to share with you the report of the NS program's 30th year. In it, you'll see the amazing array of experiences that NS students go through each year. All of these elements add up to an experience that helps our youth get to know their own history, culture and land claims agreements, and to learn about themselves (as individuals, and as Inuit), and their place in the bigger world. The students' comments at the end of this report will give you a glimpse of how transformative the program has been for them in terms of their pride in their Inuit identity, and their confidence in their ability to reach further goals. Pujjuut Kusugak Chair Two aspects of the past year deserve to be highlighted: the first was the graduation of two students from Nunatsiavut - the first ever! The second, was the NS@30 conference and alumni reunion held at on April 27-29, 2015. This wonderful event was an opportunity to celebrate the program's three decades of innovative programming, to share that experience with educators from Canada and abroad, and a wonderful occasion for alumni to share memories and renew friendships. I hope you'll enjoy reading through this report, and share in our pride at what this year's grads, and the NS program, have accomplished!

  • Unlearning Qallunaat Ways 1
    Running Head: Unlearning Qallunaat Ways 1 Unlearning Qallunaat Ways: Self-Reflection and Transformation While Working in Nunavut A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Education In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Education University of Prince Edward Island Charlottetown, PE October 22, 2017 UNLEARNING QALLUNAAT WAYS 2 Abstract The purpose of this thesis is to explore my personal journey of transformation as it took place while working with Inuit educational leaders and youth in Nunavut from 2011 to 2015. Using autoethnography, I provide a background to who I was before working with Inuit, and then go on to explore how I learned about the history of education in Nunavut, about the process of colonization, and the emotions felt as I struggled to come to terms with my privilege as a white, middle-class Canadian and descendant of European settlers while working within an Indigenous context. I conclude by sharing the importance of building relationships as a way of healing and moving forward with a goal of becoming an ally and trying to do my small part in the reconciliation process. KEY WORDS: Qallunaat, autoethnography, Nunavut, Inuit, settler UNLEARNING QALLUNAAT WAYS 3 Dedication An Inuit educational leader and participant in the Nunavut Master of Education program 2010-2013 shared the following advice: [N]o matter how difficult, no matter how negative it seems, you need to move forward. Like my late grandmother would always say, “In life, you will come across boulders that will stop you from moving on the path. Go around that boulder, go over that boulder, but don’t go under it because then you will force whatever is slowing you down to overpower you.” Think of this program as a tool, as a way to overcome the issues that you face, that your school faces, and what your community faces.

  • Paradise Lost? the Gender Parity Plebiscite in Nunavut
    Paradise Lost? The Gender Parity Plebiscite in Nunavut by Jackie Steele and Manon Tremblay Prior to the creation of Canada’s newest Territory of Nunavut in 1999 a proposal was developed by the Nunavut Implementation Commission to promote gender equality in the new territorial legislature by creating electoral districts that would each elect one man and one woman. The resulting assembly with gender parity would have been a world’s first but this proposal received only 43% of the vote and was defeated. This article looks at events leading up to the referendum and factors that contributed to its defeat he Territory of Nunavut which means “Our Land” representatives of the federal government, NWT and or “Our Home” in the Inuit language of Inuktitut is Nunavut Tunngavik for consideration.

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.

Prime Minister of Canada Parliament of Canada Ottawa , Ontario K1A OA2 Dear Prime Minister Trudeau, I write on behalf of Nunavummiut, to express my concern about a distressing issue that remains unresolved, after nearly 50 years- the extradition of Fr. Joannes Rivoire from France. It has come to my attention that the federal government has decided not to pursue the extradition of Fr. Rivoire. In January 2018, former Premier Paul Quassa wrote to you , expressing his support for this extradition. I have included his original letter in this package. From what I understand, a reply was never provided, and we have since learned that this extradition process has been abandoned from a recent media report. The alleged crimes of Fr. Rivoire have created a devastating legacy in Nunavut, one that continues to impact our families, and cultivate lingering trauma. I am dismayed that we were never extended the courtesy of notice about this decision, and I re-iterate the urgency of exploring the extradition of Fr. Rivoire as soon as possible. His alleged victims in Nunavut deserve justice, and to begin to heal from this dark chapter. I thank you in advance for your understanding of the gravity of this issue, and to the fair resolution to this situation.
