Heritage Sites Near the Community Or on the Surrounding Islands, Or a Homestay Program HERITAGE IS OUR LEGACY FROM THE PAST; WHAT WE LIVE WITH TODAY; AND WHAT WE PASS ON TO FUTURE GENERATIONS. PULLING TOGETHER Chesterfield Inlet’s Heritage Strategy 2012-2017 PULLING TOGETHER: Chesterfield Inlet’s Heritage Strategy 1 PULLING TOGETHER: Chesterfield Inlet’s Heritage Strategy Pulling Together: Chesterfield Inlet’s Heritage Strategy Heritage is our legacy from the past; what we live with today; and what we pass on to future generations. Our cultural and natural heritage is both irreplaceable sources of life and inspiration. (UNESCO World Heritage Definition) Every community in the world has a heritage that is unique in terms of character and origins. Chesterfield Inlet enjoys an abundantly rich heritage and identified the need for a Heritage Strategy. This plan identifies the valuable heritage resources that are important to the the community, and provides the community with action steps for future economic growth, land use planning, and education through our heritage. What is Heritage? Our heritage is the product of a long-established relationship between our environment and human life on the land. Heritage is found in our cultural traditions, the way we respect our land and resources, our buildings, and the way we share our story with visitors to our community. Heritage is part of our way of life - it touches everyone and contributes to our quality of life. It helps us understand where we have come from and helps us to build our community today. When people in Chesterfield Inlet speak about their heritage, themes emerge such as: “things that give us a sense of place” “things that we want to keep” “things that are significant to our community” Pulling Together, our Heritage Strategy, respects and builds on these community wishes. 2 PULLING TOGETHER: Chesterfield Inlet’s Heritage Strategy Acknowledgements The Hamlet of Chesterfield Inlet thanks the following for their contribution to the Heritage Strategy: Mayor Harry Aggark Deput Mayor, Jimmy Krako Economic Development Officer, David Kattegatsiak Government of Nunavut, Department of Economic Development and Transportation Residents of the community that provided information for the project: Andre and Elizabeth Tautu Casimir Kriterdluk Eli Kimmaliardjuk Joe Issaluk Louie Autut Leonard and Leonie Putulik Theresa Kukkiak Kevin Issaluk Senior students at Victor Sammurtok School Information was also provided by Ollie Ittinuar of Rankin Inlet. 3 PULLING TOGETHER: Chesterfield Inlet’s Heritage Strategy Contents Pulling Together: Chesterfield Inlet’s Heritage Strategy .............................................................................. 2 What is Heritage? ...................................................................................................................................... 2 What do we mean by heritage in Chesterfield Inlet? ................................................................................... 5 What does our Heritage Strategy offer? ................................................................................................... 6 What previous work have we done? ........................................................................................................ 7 The Heritage Vision ....................................................................................................................................... 8 PULLING TOGETHER: The Elements of Chesterfield Inlet’s Heritage Strategy ............................................ 8 Product Development ............................................................................................................................. 10 Heritage Resources ................................................................................................................................. 12 Communication ....................................................................................................................................... 14 Education ................................................................................................................................................ 16 Measuring Our Success ............................................................................................................................... 18 Heritage Strategy Action Plan ..................................................................................................................... 20 Priority 1 – To raise awareness and understanding of our heritage. ..................................................... 23 Priority 2: Provide protection for archaeological sites at a local level and protect heritage features that are under immediate threat of destruction or loss. ........................................................................ 24 Priority 3: Feasibility of Heritage Tourism as a niche market opportunity ............................................. 25 Heritage Partners ........................................................................................................................................ 26 4 PULLING TOGETHER: Chesterfield Inlet’s Heritage Strategy What do we mean by heritage in Chesterfield Inlet? Chesterfield Inlet has a fascinating history. It begins with the amazing stories of the movement and settlement of the First People to live on the land in the region; and then continues with the era of Exploration of the Northwest Passage, then whale hunting and trade, and finally the development of the community and the life we live today in Chesterfield Inlet. All of these different activities tell a story of one community while at the same time our heritage is linked to the many diverse and individual stories about the historic development of Canada’s Arctic. Chesterfield Inlet has a unique heritage, defined by the memories, stories, and artifacts of our people. These include the history of our ancestors; Arctic explorers, whalers, missionaries and traders; the RCMP, and our community as it is today. Chesterfield Inlet has heritage infrastructure in the form of archaeological sites within the community and on the land, and historic buildings in the community. Chesterfield Inlet has an extensive natural heritage found along the shores of Hudson Bay, the inlet, and the surrounding islands to the north and south of our community. For Chesterfield Inlet residents the term heritage implies the values of the past that need to be safeguarded and handed on from one generation to the next. 5 PULLING TOGETHER: Chesterfield Inlet’s Heritage Strategy What does our Heritage Strategy offer? Heritage is not just about conserving the past but also about how it can contribute to the present and future. This Heritage Strategy sets out the priority areas that need to be addressed over the next five years. These priority areas are the foundation for all future work to develop and protect heritage in the community. The Hamlet of Chesterfield Inlet has taken a very active role in the collection of historical data and in the development of materials that promote the heritage of Chesterfield Inlet. The Hamlet has also produced an Economic Development Plan that has identified many goals with respect to heritage. However, these elements alone do not result in a strategic approach to the heritage sector. Our example of the relationships between the elements of a successful strategy is a dog team. To create an overall strategy that gets the community to where it wants to be, the dog team needs to be developed, in place, and pulling together. Each piece is inadequate on its own, but when every piece is connected, it has the strength to pull together. 6 PULLING TOGETHER: Chesterfield Inlet’s Heritage Strategy What previous work have we done? A successful strategy is built upon the previous wok completed in the community, and the continuing support of government and our partners in the heritage sector. The work done to date by the Municipality relating to heritage includes: The Economic Development Plan Chesterfield Inlet’s community economic development plan identifies the strengths of local Inuit heritage and culture as providing opportunities for community economic development. A Community Plan and Zoning By-Law The plan and by-law address the lands within the Municipal boundaries and the way in which community development will occur in the future. They are useful tools to direct and establish policy for a variety of land uses, including both protection and development. A Journey Through Time: A Guided Walking Tour through Chesterfield Inlet. This self-guided tour book has historical information and excellent photographs documenting the establishment and growth of the community. It provides a tour of key buildings and locations in the community that are significant to the history of the settlement. Community Signage Project While walking through the community, signage is used on buildings to present relevant historical information such as timelines of developments within the area and information on local heritage. The Chesterfield Inlet Website The website provides a wealth of information to the reader such as a historical slide show; stories and articles about the history of the community; and links to other pieces of historical information such as the Journey through Time walking tour and maps of all the sites. Tourism Projects The Municipality has begun other tourism initiatives, such as research and preliminary training for a Home Stay program for tourists, participation in trade shows, guide training classes, and providing information to visitors and

    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.

  • IQRF 2019 001 Kkangiqłiniq HTO Inuit Perspectives on Caribou Management Final Report
    Inuit Perspectives on Caribou Management Workshop Rankin Inlet, August 20, 2019 Clayton Tartak Kangiqłiniq Hunters and Trappers Organization Ezra Greene Research Consultant Warren Bernauer Research Consultant Report prepared for the Kangiqłiniq Hunters and Trappers Organization Summary On August 20, 2019 the Kangiqłiniq Hunters and Trappers Organization (K-HTO) in Rankin Inlet held a day-long workshop with four Elders: Jerome Kupaak Tattuinee, Mary-Ann Inuaraq Tattuinee, Alain Kumak Kabvitok, and Jack Tikiq Kabvitok. The focus of the workshop was Inuit perspectives on caribou management. The project was carried out by three researchers: Clayton Tartak (project leader), Ezra Greene (research consultant), and Warren Bernauer (research consultant). Interpretation services between Inuktitut and English were provided by Maggie Putulik. The project received funding from the Nunavut Wildlife Management Board’s (NWMB) Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit Research Fund. To facilitate discussion, the researchers screened videos from the Kaminuriak Caribou Herd Project: a participatory video project that documented Inuit perspectives on caribou management in the early 1980s. The videos helped stimulate conversation – they were particularly useful in generating discussion about how caribou and caribou management have changed since the 1980s. The workshop addressed several issues relevant to caribou management today, including: traditional rules for caribou hunting, changes related to caribou since the 1980s, the impacts of mining on caribou, concerns with selling caribou meat, concerns with younger hunters not following traditional rules, the importance of teaching younger hunters traditional skills, rules, and values, and commentary on research. The Elders indicated that they enjoyed the workshop format, especially the use of videos and recommended the researchers hold similar workshops in other communities.

It is clear that the area around Wager Bay was used by Inuit prior to this century, but those who knew of those earlier times are gone. Taken as a whole, this is a story of a mobile people, moving in and out of the Wager Bay area, and moving from one site to the next within Wager Bay. To some extent, there was a seasonal pattern to the camp rotation by those families living around the main body of Wager Bay, concentrating at Nuvukliq during the winter, where open water nearby facilitated the essential seal- hunt. Others, farther inland around Brown Lake (Qamanaluk), were largely sustained by caribou and musk- oxen during the winter months. A third group of Inuit, key to the history of Wager Bay, lived at its namesake Okkusiksalik, near the mouth of the Back River.

  • Development of the Institutional Structure of the Economy of Rankin Inlet, Nunavut, Canada: Inuit Strategic Participation in Commercial Opportunities
    Development of the Institutional Structure of the Economy of Rankin Inlet, Nunavut, Canada: Inuit Strategic Participation in Commercial Opportunities By Andrew Gordon Muir A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Public Policy Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2017 Andrew Gordon Muir 1 Abstract This dissertation aims to provide insight into the development of the institutional structure of the economy of Rankin Inlet, Kivalliq Region, Nunavut, Canada from its inception (1953-1957) to the period following the creation of the Territory of Nunavut in 1999. Its analysis is informed by the ideas of Karl Polanyi, who argues in The Great Transformation that Britain’s commercial economy rests upon an institutional structure erected by the state largely during the 19th Century and not, as Adam Smith famously suggested, on innate human tendencies. State interventions expanding the scope of commercial activity often undermined the viability of existing forms of non-commercial economic activity as well as the institutions upon which they were based. The British public, however, suffering from these developments successfully pressed for legislation to reduce the scope of commercial activity in their lives, in a process Polanyi refers to as the “countermovement.” Prior to the entry of Europeans to the Kivalliq Region, Inuit economic activity was non- commercial. Based on harvesting resources from the land and sea, it was governed by and played a role in regenerating societal institutions, principally the extended family. As Europeans and non-indigenous North Americans entered the region in the early 1700s in order to obtain and sell its resources on external markets, opportunities arose for Inuit to participate in commercial activity.

    Perry River Project Taped at Gjoa Haven September 2003 David Siksik (English) Interviewer: David Pelly Interpreter: David Qirqut Transcribed by: Ben Kogvik Q He said that his name is David Pelly and today is September 9, 2003 here in Gjoa Haven. This is about the Perry River closing down and how the people lived there, about the people who lived over there. First he’d like to know your name and your birth place and how you were born. He wants to record them so he’ll ask you to say them. DS Yes, can I talk. Is it okay to talk now? Q Yes. DS I was told that I was born in 1942 but that was changed recently on those new revised identification cards. I was born in 1942 and was put down as January 1. It’s not the correct date but it’s close. I was born during Christmas, close to Christmas, towards the end of that month. It’s hard to tell the exact date but the Government put it as 1st January, it’s not the right one but it’s close. At Kulgayuk (Simpson River), on the east side of Perry River, I was told [I was born] at Simpson River. There are names for places, so at Nikhiktuqvik, part of Simpson River, I was born. Q Your parents’ names or your adoptive parents’ names can be told here. DS Yes, did I even say my own name? Q I don’t know? I don’t think it was said. You can say your name.
