The outcome of this investigation is that there has not been anything illegal in the transactions examined.

Discussion continued in the afternoon. 6 ITK – NATIONAL COMMITTEE ON INUIT EDUCATION Louise informed the meeting that we are still waiting for MELS for an authorization. The government shuffled employees and they needed clarification. MELS will attend the September meeting in Ottawa with ITK. Someone from KSB will be appointed to this committee once the government approves the signature of the agreement by K.S.B.

They will have to submit their report on October 22, 2010. With the approval of the Executive, Mary will continue to work on Plan Nord. Annie also said they have met with the other Inuit parties and Makivik is going to be presenting a position paper on September 24, 2010. 12 TEACHING SURVIVAL SKILLS (CANOES) Qiallak informed the meeting that for survival skills course, they have purchased six canoes. However, the schools close when it is time to use these canoes. There has to be a way for students to be taught how to survive on the sea. There is also the fact that they have to be stored in winter. Sarah Airo said that we will have to find a way to use these canoes. We might have to stop buying canoes until we find another way. Mary Aitchison said that there is a way to solve this problem. Alacie would like to see a proposal to use these canoes and that perhaps they could be used for summer camps. Adamie said that canoes would sit there since summer camps are operated by the community at a nominal fee or let the Education Committee decide. Mary said that maybe we should use them for summer camps or we could look at the student schedules to add that activity. Alacie said that maybe these canoes could be used by guides who do not own one. Sarah Beaulne said that maybe it could be part of the heritage program of KRG. 13 SCIENCE RESEARCH FROM QUAQTAQ AND KUUJJUAQ Montreal, Qc.

Nunavik lies north of the 55th parallel in Quebec, Canada and is one of four regions in Canada that comprise Inuit Nunaat (Inuvialuit, Nunatsiavut, Nunavik, and Nunavut) – Inuit homeland. The Inuit are one of three distinct Indigenous groups in Canada as defined by the Constitution Act, 1982, with distinct cultural heritage and language. Community Capability and Development in Nunavik, a collaborative project between McGill School of Social Work researchers and an Advisory Committee composed of representatives from key Inuit institutions, explored social issues and community assets in Nunavik. This study sought to (a) provide a forum for community members to voice issues important to them; (b) inform policy development prior to the vote on regional government; and (c) increase the growth of community linkages that support research dissemination via a network of researchers, community members and organizations. This qualitative project involved 52 semi-structured, face-to-face interviews with members of five Nunavik communities.
