The Community Readiness Initiative in Kugluktuk, Nunavut: Mining, Neoliberalism, and State Interventions in Arctic Indigenous Community Development The Community Readiness Initiative in Kugluktuk, Nunavut: Mining, neoliberalism, and state interventions in arctic Indigenous community development by Dana Holtby A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Geography Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2016, Holtby Abstract With a growing number of mining and extractive resource projects across the North, the Canadian Northern Economic Development Agency has piloted the “Community Readiness Initiative” (CRI). The CRI aims to prepare communities to take advantage of the anticipated boom in mining through community consultations in seven northern communities. This thesis examines the Kugluktuk, Nunavut CRI through an analysis of CRI templates, reports, and through interviews with key informants. The CRI templates are examined through the questions of critical cartography to explore how the project’s construction contributes to an entrenchment of the mining economy in Nunavut. The governmental and biopolitical implications of the project are also explored through an analysis of the limitations faced in implementing the recommendations of the CRI consultations. My work argues that the CRI creates certain openings for Indigenous articulations of well-being, but falls short in its ability to create much needed structural changes to development programming. ii Acknowledgements I would like to acknowledge that this thesis was written on unceded Algonquin Territory. Unreserved thanks are due to my supervisor Dr. Emilie Cameron and interim supervisor Dr. Gita Ljubicic. Emilie, you have been a mentor and steadfast example of how to root academic work in community, in care, and in kindness. Thank you for the many cups of tea and the thought provoking conversations that came with them. I’m so grateful for your ability to push my thinking in such supportive ways. Gita, thank you for stepping in to provide much needed guidance and structure. Without you I would not have made it to the finish line. Thank you for your patience and ability to make sense of the inner workings of my messy mind. There aren’t enough thanks in this world for the good work that the both of you do. I’m so grateful to the many people who talked me through early chapter attempts and read through initial (and the many subsequent) drafts. Thanks in particular to Dr. Jennifer Ridgley for your careful edits, encouraging pep talks, and guidance through my writing struggles. Thank you also to Dr. Fran Klowdasky and Dr. Arn Keeling for your revisions and thoughtful questions in the final stages. To those on the Kugluktuk team, particularly Dr. Chelsea Gabel and April Pigalak. Chelsea, thank you for your guidance and friendship on our project in Kug, and for your support (and keen editing skills) with my thesis work. April, thank you for taking me into your home and for your relentless hard work. Thank you to all the kind folks at the Canadian Northern Economic Agency, the Government of Nunavut, and the Kitikmeot Inuit Association, for allowing me into your iii offices and entertaining my (at times naïve) questions about the North. This work would not have been possible without your input. I must of course also give thanks to the funding agencies that made this work possible: the SSHRC Joseph M. Bombardier Master’s Scholarship, the Ontario Graduate Scholarship, the Northern Scientific Training Program, and the Carleton Geography department. I am indebted to a great number of brilliant minds in the Carleton community: Dr. Pablo Mendez, Dr. Christopher Burn, Dr. Frances Abele, Dr. Janet Tamalik McGrath and Joshua Gladstone – thank you for supportive chats and for sharing your extensive knowledge in kind and caring ways. To the many folks in Yellowknife – Tee, Rosanna, Nick. I’m so grateful for the hospitality and the continued friendship. I’d also like to give thanks to Dr. Leanne Betasamosake Simpson, Dr. Glen Coulthard, and Dr. Erin Freeland Ballantyne, for the opportunity to attend the Indigenous Self-Determination course at Dechinta. The lessons from that humbling week at Blachford lodge will stay with me for years to come. To the folks at home! Jill and Melissa - my truest Geography buddies. Thank you for keeping me going at Carleton. To Maggie for showing me that completion was possible and for your company on long writing days. To Lee, Abby, and all my Ottawa Roller Derby gals for keeping me on track (both figuratively and literally) when school got to be too much. A thank you also to my close friends living afar who provided consistent support and encouragement, particularly Zoë Page and Rosie Simms. iv A big thank you to my parents and family for your understanding, acceptance of my frantic phone calls in times of stress, and support through my many years of schooling. Finally, a thank you to my dear Jesse. You are a consistent support and a role model to me in your compassion and curiosity. My life and academic work are so strengthened by your care, companionship, and delicious dinners. v Table of Contents Abstract .............................................................................................................................. ii Acknowledgements .......................................................................................................... iii Table of Contents ............................................................................................................. vi List of Tables .................................................................................................................... ix List of Figures .................................................................................................................... x List of Appendices ............................................................................................................ xi List of Abbreviations: ..................................................................................................... xii Chapter 1 Development in the North - The Community Readiness Initiative .......... 13 1.1 Research questions ..................................................................................................... 15 1.2 Research rationale ...................................................................................................... 16 1.3 The Origins of CanNor .............................................................................................. 17 1.4 The Community Readiness Initiative ....................................................................... 19 1.5 Research site................................................................................................................ 24 1.6 Thesis Overview .......................................................................................................... 25 Chapter 2 The Place of Mines – State development interventions in Nunavut ......... 28 2.1 The Nunavut Land Claim and the Creation of Nunavut ........................................ 34 2.2 Mining and Community Impacts .............................................................................. 39 2.3 Mining in Nunavut ..................................................................................................... 40 2.4 Mining in Kugluktuk .................................................................................................. 45 2.5 The Rise of Consultation and the Role of IIBAs ...................................................... 48 2.6 The CRI: making the most of the mines to come ..................................................... 51 vi Chapter 3 Working in and on the CRI - Research Methods ...................................... 52 3.1 Research Context ........................................................................................................ 52 3.2 Research Methods ...................................................................................................... 54 3.3 On being a consultant/academic and the limitations of my research approach ... 57 3.4 Governmentality ......................................................................................................... 59 3.5 Neoliberalism, Biopolitics and the Structuring of Development ............................ 61 3.6 Neoliberalism and Development in Indigenous Communities ................................ 63 3.7 On research limitations and studying the state ........................................................ 65 Chapter 4 “Money is a Coward” - Mapping certainty and silences in the CRI ....... 67 4.1 The Questions of Critical Cartography .................................................................... 68 4.2 CRI Maps at First Glance .......................................................................................... 74 4.3 Mapping Certainty ..................................................................................................... 84 4.4 The CRI’s silences ...................................................................................................... 93 4.5 Gaps in the Making: categories left unknown in the CRI templates ..................... 95 4.6 Filling the map’s silences: The Kugluktuk CRI ...................................................... 96 4.7 Conclusion ................................................................................................................. 104 Chapter 5 “The low hanging fruit” - the biopolitics of development programming implementation .............................................................................................................

  • Canada's Public Space
    CBC/Radio-Canada: Canada’s Public Space Where we’re going At CBC/Radio-Canada, we have been transforming the way we engage with Canadians. In June 2014, we launched Strategy 2020: A Space for Us All, a plan to make the public broadcaster more local, more digital, and financially sustainable. We’ve come a long way since then, and Canadians are seeing the difference. Many are engaging with us, and with each other, in ways they could not have imagined a few years ago. Our connection with the people we serve can be more personal, more relevant, more vibrant. Our commitment to Canadians is that by 2020, CBC/Radio-Canada will be Canada’s public space where these conversations live. Digital is here Last October 19, Canadians showed us that their future is already digital. On that election night, almost 9 million Canadians followed the election results on our CBC.ca and Radio-Canada.ca digital sites. More precisely, they engaged with us and with each other, posting comments, tweeting our content, holding digital conversations. CBC/Radio-Canada already reaches more than 50% of all online millennials in Canada every month. We must move fast enough to stay relevant to them, while making sure we don’t leave behind those Canadians who depend on our traditional services. It’s a challenge every public broadcaster in the world is facing, and CBC/Radio-Canada is further ahead than many. Our Goal The goal of our strategy is to double our digital reach so that 18 million Canadians, one out of two, will be using our digital services each month by 2020.

  • MODEL CODE of PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT Final Draft May 2016
    MODEL CODE OF PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT Final Draft May 2016 INTRODUCTION __________________________________________________________ The implementation of interjurisdictional mobility across Canada now allows lawyers to practice in every province and territory in the country. The importance of uniform national ethical standards was recognized by the Federation of Law Societies of Canada which began development of the Model Code of Conduct. The Model Code is the template for the Nunavut Code of Professional Conduct. Lawyers will find much familiar content preserving rules, commentaries and practical guidance previously found in the Canadian Bar Association Code which served Nunavut lawyers for many years. The Law Society of Nunavut created a mandate to review the Model Code with the objectives of maintaining uniformity and of making it consistent local law, practice and a distinct court system. A small resident bar practising in often distant locations meets many challenges. Resident and visiting lawyers may have difficulty accessing legal resources in remote settings. Challenges also include a diverse population speaking a number of languages, possessing unique cultures and variable economic resources. The Model Code is a work in progress. In future, Nunavut will benefit from the Federation’s continuing work and the ability to contribute to Model Code amendments. PREFACE One of the hallmarks of free and democratic society is the Rule of Law. Its importance is manifested in every legal activity in which citizens engage, from the sale of real property to the prosecution of murder to international trade. As participants in a justice system that advances the Rule of Law, lawyers hold a unique and privileged position in society.

  • 1 the February 17, 2017, Winnipeg Event Was the First of Five Regional
    The February 17, 2017, Winnipeg event was the first of five regional gatherings that will culminate in the convening of a national three-day conference in Ottawa. 101.5 UMFM streamed live online and archived the presentations from Winnipeg.1 Kathleen Buddle, Associate Professor of anthropology at the University of Manitoba and our local host, opened the discussion by saying that the goal of the event was to improve the Native Broadcasting Policy (CRTC 1990-89),2 which is up for review by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (the CRTC) this year. She then introduced elder Leslie Spillet3 who briefly spoke and facilitated the opening ceremony. The morning panel moderator Peter Kulchyski,4 professor from the University of Manitoba’s Native Studies, introduced the first presenters--CBC Unreserved’s Rosanna Deerchild and Kim Wheeler5. They spoke about the origins of their program, collaboration, and work to create the only all Indigenous- produced program airing nationally on CBC. Deerchild thanked Native Communications Inc (NCI FM)6 for her debut in radio broadcasting. Pointing to experiences of racism and silencing of Indigenous journalists within the CBC (also described later by Miles Morrisseau), Deerchild and Wheeler said they had to make their own Indigenous-produced spaces. When asked about the future of Indigenous broadcasting, Deerchild suggested that before reconciliation is possible, people need the truth. To do this work, Wheeler and Deerchild want Unreserved to evolve by going on the road to broadcast from Indigenous communities. Afterwards, Buddle provided a short review of Indigenous Peoples’ media activism to indigenize the media landscape and the limits of policymaking by the state of Canada.

  • The Importance of the UNDRIP and the TRC to Museums
    THE IMPORTANCE OF THE UNITED NATIONS DECLARATION ON THE RIGHTS OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES & THE TRUTH & RECONCILIATION COMMISSION TO MUSEUMS By Laura Phillips, Ph.D. Candidate in Cultural Studies, Queen’s University Reviewed by Dr. Evelyn Siegfried, Curator of Aboriginal Studies at the Royal Saskatchewan Museum and Audrey 1. Introduction Dreaver, Aboriginal Museum and Art Consultant “For too long, Indigenous voices have not been heard, but that seems to be changing in the aftermath of the TRC. It is really important that we, as a society, listen to what indigenous people are saying...” Ry Moran, Director of the National Research Centre for the Truth & Reconciliation Commission, University of Manitoba 1. The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples [UNDRIP] was adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations in 2007. Canada adopted UNDRIP in May 2016. The implementation of this declaration within federal and provincial legislation is in progress so museums need to be aware of and sure to follow the points laid out in UNDRIP. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission formed in 2009 as part of the Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement. This agreement is between the federal government and Indigenous populations who had been subjected to enforced residential schooling in the 19th and 20th centuries. Through the recording of witness statements from parties affected by residential schools, the TRC created a historical record of this cultural atrocity and concluded their inquiries in 2015. The report issued at the conclusion of the commission in 2015 included specific calls to action for museums to take to promote reconciliation in Canada.

  • Forced Relocation of Indigenous Peoples in Canada
    FORCED RELOCATION OF 5 INDIGENOUS PEOPLES IN CANADA FORCED RELOCATION OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES IN CANADA Planning your FIRST STEPS learning journey Indigenous Peoples have lived on the land now known What are some examples as Canada for thousands of years.1 When Europeans first arrived, Indigenous Peoples provided assistance of forced relocation of to help them survive in unfamiliar environments. In some areas, Indigenous Peoples maintained their distance from European newcomers, while in other Indigenous Peoples across areas closer bonds formed. Conflict also occurred, and Indigenous populations were decimated by new what is now known as diseases to which they had no immunity. The diversity among nations meant that each had a different Canada? experience with European newcomers, and each was uniquely impacted.2 The Doctrine of Discovery originated in Europe in the 1400s. It was based on the supposed “racial superiority” of Christian Europeans, was used to justify the taking of Indigenous land by Europeans and ignored the inherent rights of Indigenous Peoples.3 Indigenous Peoples were viewed as nonhuman because they were non-Christian, thus making the land terra nullius in the eyes of European explorers.4 Terra nullius claims that no one owned the land now known as Canada prior to European assertion of sovereignty. However, the Supreme Court of Canada has ruled that this never applied in Canada, as confirmed by the Royal Proclamation of 1763, which recognized Indigenous title.5 It was the Royal Proclamation that necessitated the making of treaties and other land agreements between Indigenous Peoples and the Crown, and later Canada.6 In spite of this, the Crown and Government of Canada enacted many policies and engaged in many An image of a scrip coupon for 160 acres issued to practices that displaced Indigenous Peoples from their Andrew McAuley.
