  • Indigenous Languages
    INDIGENOUS LANGUAGES PRE-TEACH/PRE-ACTIVITY Have students look at the Indigenous languages and/or language groups that are displayed on the map. Discuss where this data came from (the 2016 census) and what biases or problems this data may have, such as the fear of self-identifying based on historical reasons or current gaps in data. Take some time to look at how censuses are performed, who participates in them, and what they can learn from the data that is and is not collected. Refer to the online and poster map of Indigenous Languages in Canada featured in the 2017 November/December issue of Canadian Geographic, and explore how students feel about the number of speakers each language has and what the current data means for the people who speak each language. Additionally, look at the language families listed and the names of each language used by the federal government in collecting this data. Discuss with students why these may not be the correct names and how they can help in the reconciliation process by using the correct language names. LEARNING OUTCOMES: • Students will learn about the number and • Students will learn about the importance of diversity of languages and language groups language and the ties it has to culture. spoken by Indigenous Peoples in Canada. • Students will become engaged in learning a • Students will learn that Indigenous Peoples local Indigenous language. in Canada speak many languages and that some languages are endangered.

  • Project Summary Report April 30Th, 2020
    Improving Communication on Climate Change and Long-Range Contaminants for Communities and Researchers in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region Project Summary Report April 30th, 2020 [Type here] Background It is well recognized that climate change will have significant impacts on not only the physical landscape, but also on social and economic landscapes within the Arctic. More specifically, climate change represents “an acute threat to socioecological systems, one that disproportionately impacts Arctic peoples”1. How these impacts will be transferred to the level of human activity remains uncertain. Therefore, the need to standardize and ensure comprehensibility of climate change wording and concepts in Inuvialuktun, is imperative in supporting informed responses by Inuvialuit communities to climate change. Climate change impacts to the Arctic environment has also sparked an unprecedented growth in climate change research being conducted in Arctic communities across the globe. This growth in research has resulted in increasingly more sophisticated and specialized terminology being used in climate change discourse. As a direct result of this advancement in scientific terminology, climate change information relayed to Inuvialuit Settlement Region (ISR) communities has become increasingly difficult to comprehend, both conceptually and linguistically. More importantly, how an issue is framed by academic or political discourse can significantly affect the interpretation and thus the responses provided. Consequently, the gap between Traditional Knowledge (TK) and the scientific community has continued to increase over time, creating an unfortunate disconnect between researchers, politicians and ISR community members. Sallirmiutun, Uummarmiutun, and Kangiryuarmiutun, collectively known as the Inuvialuktun language, are the three dialects spoken in the ISR (Figure 1). The Inuvialuktun language is spoken by fewer than 50 per cent of the population, many of whom are Elders.

  • Inuit=People for Thousands of Years, Inuit Thought They Were Alone in The
    Inuit=People For thousands of years, Inuit thought they were alone in the world. They called themselves Inuit or the people. There are different variations of “Inuit” across the circumpolar world. There are the Yupik of Siberia; Inuppiat/ Yupik of Alaska; Inuvialuit in the western Arctic of Canada; Inuinnaqtun in the Kitikmeot Region of Nunavut; Inuit who cover all of the regions from Kivalliq, Qikiqtaaluk, Nunavik and Labrador; and then the Kalaalliit of Greenland. Inuit were given the name Eskimo by the early Europeans—as we are widely known around the world today. We have always called ourselves Inuit and most regard Eskimo as a foreign word that it is. In fact, many Inuit today find the word Eskimo to be offensive and derogatory. We prefer the name Inuit as that is what we call ourselves. The word Eskimo comes from Cree and means, “eater of raw meat”. Inuit are known to eat cooked meat once in a while! In Inuktitut (our language), we have grammatical singular, dual and plural forms as opposed to the English singular and plural. That is: one person = inuk; two persons = inuuk; and, for three or more, it is inuit. When referring to the Inuit as a collective, some English-speakers may say “the Inuit people” which is, to Inuktitut-speakers, just repeating the word people twice. “The Inuit” by itself is sufficient, and that is what we prefer. Inuit believe that they have one language that they share with the rest of the other Inuit groups around the world. Even though Inuit are scattered all over the globe, they share one language-the Inuit Language1.

  • Inuktut Uqausiit (Inuit Languages) in Canada – History and Contemporary Developments by Nadine C
    Inuktut Uqausiit (Inuit Languages) in Canada – History and Contemporary Developments by Nadine C. Fabbi, Canadian Studies Center, Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies, University of Washington, Seattle. The author would like to thank Heather Campbell, Language and Culture Coordinator, Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami; Toni White and Catharyn Andersen from the Torngâsok Cultural Centre, Nunatsiavut; and Jay Arnakak, Qikiqtani Inuit Association, Nunavut for their expert advice. Written for the Arctic Indigenous Languages Symposium, Sustainable Development Working Group, Arctic Council, coordinated by the Inuit Circumpolar Council (Canada), and hosted by the Saami Council, Norway, October 2008, www.arcticlanguages.com. Language not only communicates, it defines culture, nature, history, humanity and ancestry. Preserving endangered languages is a vital part of securing the culture and heritage of our rich human landscape. Language keeps traditions alive, it inspires knowledge and respect about our past and the planet on which we live, and it links communities across borders and beyond time. Quoted from the United Nations web site “The UN Works for Cultural Diversity: Endangered Languages” The scientific community has warned that such historical assimilation campaigns—combined with declining Indigenous populations, increased mobility, economic pressures, as well as exposure to television and other communications technologies—could lead to the loss of half of the world’s 6,000 to 7,000 languages by 2050. With such a decline, they warn, will come the demise of local knowledge, mentalities, creativity and heritage, as well as specialized information such as unique survival skills and traditional medicines. from Canada World View, Fall 2004 Language is a cultural mosaic of communication.
