    FACT SHEET Angjqatigiingniq – Deciding Together Digital Indigenous Democracy – www.isuma.tv/did • WHO? Isuma Distribution International Inc., with Nunavut Independent Television Network (NITV), Municipality of Igloolik, Nunavut Dept. of Culture, Language, Elders and Youth, Carleton University Centre for Innovation, Mount Allison University and LKL International. Project leaders, Zacharias Kunuk and Norman Cohn. Human Rights Assessor, Lloyd Lipsett. • WHAT? In complex multi-lateral high-stakes negotiations, Inuit consensus - deciding together – may be the strongest power communities can bring to the table with governments and transnational corporations working together. DID uses internet, community radio, local TV and social media to amplify Inuit traditional decision-making skills at a moment of crisis and opportunity: as Inuit face Environmental Review of the $6 billion Baffinland Iron Mine (BIM) on north Baffin Island. Through centuries of experience Inuit learned that deciding together, called angjqatigiingniq [ahng-ee-kha-te-GING-nik] in Inuktitut – a complex set of diplomatic skills for respectful listening to differing opinions until arriving at one unified decision everyone can support – is the smartest, safest way to go forward in a dangerous environment. Through DID, Inuit adapt deciding together to modern transnational development – to get needed information in language they understand, talk about their concerns publicly and reach collective decisions with the power of consensus. Inuit consensus then is presented in a multimedia Human Rights Impact Assessment (HRIA), looking at the positive and negative impacts of the proposed mine in terms of international human rights standards and best practices, to the regulatory process, online through IsumaTV and through local radio and TV channels in all Nunavut communities.

  • Strategic Plan 2020-2025 English
    Strategic Plan 2020-2025 FOREWORD In the twenty years since the creation of Nunavut, the screen-based media industry has changed significantly. It has witnessed dramatic changes: moving from analogue to digital; traditional broadcast to online streaming and linear channel viewing to mobile consumption. Since its establishment in 2004 by the Government of Nunavut, the Nunavut Film Development Corporation (NFDC) has been the organization best placed to foster the full economic and creative potential of the screen-based industry in Nunavut — increasing the strength and value of our content creator’s products, services, intellectual property and brand. Screen-based media are a desirable global commodity due to a multitude of economic impacts. There are many channels through which the screen-based industry contributes to a local economy, and the benefits can be measured in three ways: 1. Direct impacts related to the actual stages of production (development/pre-production, production, postproduction, distribution). 2. Indirect impacts in support of production (equipment, construction, transport, advertising, legal, accounting, financial banking). 3. Cross-sectoral impacts that spill over into other parts of the territorial economy (labour, skills development, tourism, retail/entertainment, trade, cultural). In 2015, Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada published a report outlining that Inuit artists and creative workers in the industries of film, media, writing and publishing contributed $9.8 million to GDP in Canada. The resulting economic activity created or supported an additional 208 full time equivalent jobs. NFDC’s most recent data on its activities in 2018-2019 outline the following: · Funded $1,235 million for projects in 7 program categories.

  • Teaching Identities: Lessons from Aujuittuq (The Place That Never Thaws)
    CHAPTER 21 Teaching Identities: Lessons from Aujuittuq (The Place That Never Thaws) Heather McLeod and Dale Vanelli Introduction Heather is an arts educator at Memorial University in Newfoundland, Can- ada, and Dale is a writer. We are spouses. In this chapter the everyday life that comes under our scrutiny is our past teaching in Aujuittuq (the place that never thaws), or the hamlet of Grise Fiord, Nunavut, (pop. 150) (cf. McLeod & Vanelli, 2015). Canada’s most northern civilian community on the southern tip of Ellesmere Island, it is 3,460 km north of Ottawa in the High Arctic. Using a duoethnographic approach (Sawyer & Norris, 2013) we examine how this landscape inscribed our bodies, and how we opened both ourselves and the discourses in which we interacted to the possibilities of change; we ask how were our teaching identities constructed in a new landscape and climate (Davies, 2000; Davies & Gannon, 2006)? Aujuittuq and Colonization in the High Arctic In Aujuittuq most inhabitants are Inuit and their first language is Inuktitut. At 76 degrees 25 north latitude, when a compass is pointed due North the nee- dle will point Southwest since it is above the magnetic North Pole. It is too far north to see the Northern Lights. A huge geographical landmass, Ellesmere Island is considered so remote that many maps of Canada omit it altogether. The hamlet is perched at the bottom of a steep glacial mountain on the very edge of Jones Sound and, for much of the year, the frozen sea ice is referred to as the land. The Canadian government created the community in 1953 for two calculated reasons.

  • 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.
