Degree awarded December 2011 ii © 2011 Alexander David Ginsburg iii THESIS ABSTRACT Alexander David Ginsburg Master of Arts Department of Geography December 2011 Title: Climate Change and Culture Change in Salluit, Quebec, Canada The amplified effects of climate change in the Arctic are well known and, according to many commentators, endanger Inuit cultural integrity. However, the specific connections between climate change and cultural change are understudied. This thesis explores the relationship between climatic shifts and culture in the Inuit community of Salluit, Quebec, Canada. Although residents of Salluit are acutely aware of climate change in their region and have developed causal explanations for the phenomenon, most Salluit residents do not characterize climate change as a threat to Inuit culture. Instead, they highlight the damaging impacts of globalization and internal colonialism as a more serious problem. This counter-narrative suggests that focusing narrowly on climate change can obscure the broader and more immediate challenges facing Inuit communities. Such a realization demonstrates the need for researchers to locate climate change within a matrix of non-climatic challenges in order to mitigate threats to indigenous cultures. iv CURRICULUM VITAE NAME OF AUTHOR: Alexander David Ginsburg GRADUATE AND UNDERGRADUATE SCHOOLS ATTENDED: University of Oregon, Eugene Arizona State University, Tempe DePaul University, Chicago, Illinois DEGREES AWARDED: Master of Arts, Geography, 2011, University of Oregon Master of Community & Regional Planning, 2011, University of Oregon Bachelor of Arts, Religious Studies, 2007, Arizona State University AREAS OF SPECIAL INTEREST: Cultural Geography Cross-Cultural Planning Indigenous Studies PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE: Graduate Teaching Fellow, University of Oregon, 2008-2010 Research Assistant, Institute for Policy Research and Innovation, University of Oregon, 2009-2010 GRANTS, AWARDS, AND HONORS: Dean’s Graduate Fellowship, School of Architecture and Allied Arts, University of Oregon, 2011 Fulbright Student Award, Climate Change and Culture Change in Salluit, QC.

I am especially grateful to Annie Alaku, Moses and Susie Ilisituk, Kakinik and Alacie Naluiyuk, Yuliusie Papigatuk, and Paulusie Saviadjuk for their friendship, guidance, and support. Qalingo Angotigirk and Susie P. Alaku deserve special mention for helping facilitate my time in Salluit and introducing me to the community. For their wonderful work during my interviews, I must thank Lizzie Alaku, Nulukie Kaitak, Sr., Uquuttaq Ningiurluut, and Kitty Okituk. In many ways, Vincent DeChamps made this thesis possible, by providing housing, reflection, and friendship. Along with residents of Salluit, I wish to thank Susan Hardwick, Mike Hibbard, and Alec Murphy for serving as my committee. Your encouragement, criticism, and guidance throughout my graduate education have been nonpareil and I appreciate your patience as you put up with my neuroses in the field. Susan, especially, deserves recognition for the time she spent guiding the research design and editing early drafts. A special note of thanks goes to James Ford, who supervised me in Canada and provided outstanding intellectual and financial support for this project. Conversations with Colin Scott and George Wenzel were highly provocative and valued. Tanya Giberyen generously shared her time to facilitate my arrival in Salluit. In addition, I’d like to acknowledge the intellectual contributions of the students and faculty in the University of Oregon’s Department of Geography, who have consistently challenged me to improve my thinking and writing. vii There are several friends and family who deserve recognition. Ken Morrison has been the greatest intellectual influence on me and listened to many hours of complaints about the direction of this project. Melissa Glader offered companionship, enthusiasm, and crucial support, even from several thousand miles away. Matt Pritchard, Tino Kreutzer, and Maeve Trudeau provided the humor, guidance, and accommodations to make me feel at home in Canada. Oleksander Ivasenko was a wonderful climbing partner who made sure to question all of my assumptions. K.C. Bolton, Alexandra Lesnikoski, and Jaclyn Patterson made for fantastic office mates and friends. Appreciation is also due to my mother, Diana, who has generously supported me well past the time I ought to have left the nest, and to my brother, Jeremy, who is the smart one in the family. My late father, Norton, deserves thanks for instilling a concern for Geography and a love of learning. This research was funded in part by Fulbright Canada, the Sasakawa Young Leaders Fellowship Foundation, the Center on Diversity and Community at the University of Oregon, the Center for Intercultural Dialogue at the University of Oregon, the Graduate School at the University of Oregon, the Department of Planning, Public Policy & Management at the University of Oregon, School of Architecture and Allied Arts at the University of Oregon, and Professor James Ford. A debt of gratitude is owed to these organizations and individuals for providing the financial resources to make this project feasible. viii To Susan Hardwick, for the privilege of being her final M.A. student. ix TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter Page I.

Study of Gender-based Violence and Shelter Service Needs across Inuit Nunangat Preface It was important to the research team that this study be community driven and uphold the values of Pauktuutit Inuit Women of Canada and the Inuit women that the organization serves. Throughout the project, efforts were made to uphold the Inuit-specific values of Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit (IQ) in each of the seven communities and three urban centres where the research was conducted, including: Yellowknife and Inuvik in the Inuvialuit region of the Northwest Territories; Nain in Nunatsiavut and Happy Valley-Goose Bay in Newfoundland and Labrador; Kuujjuaq and Montreal in Quebec; Cape Dorset, Iqaluit and Clyde River in Nunavut; and, Ottawa in Ontario. The writing of this report is based in responsive research which braids together Inuit knowledge, community-based practices, and western scientific research methods to ensure that the research approach is safe for participants,

  • News Release
    NEWS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE DISTRIBUTION MAJOR BLITZ AGAINST INFECTIOUS DISEASES IN PUVIRNITUQ AND SALLUIT Kuujjuaq, June 11, 2018 – Health care workers and nurses took to the streets in Puvirnituq and Salluit as part of a major blitz against infectious diseases in both communities. Nunavik’s Health Committees, community health teams, the Inuulitsivik Center and the Nunavik Regional Board of Health and Social Services united their efforts to address two recent outbreaks in Nunavik. Teams composed of community health workers and nurses went door to door to offer screening for tuberculosis and sexually transmitted diseases. During three blitz interventions in Salluit and Puvirnituq the health teams also picked-up expired medication and surveyed the population on various health topics. Most houses and workplaces were visited as part of a vigorous community response to recent infectious disease outbreaks. "Can we mobilize the community to decrease the transmission of infections? I think the answer is yes. Not only that…but community mobilization is something Inuit know how to do. It's a great strength that we have," said Tommy Saviadjuk, a medical interpreter in Salluit. In Nunavik, when infections are detected, the teams in place have reached very high standards in terms of delivering treatment to individuals who are known to be contagious (For example: 94% for gonorrhea, 100% for syphilis, 100% for active TB). The challenge facing Nunavik communities is to rapidly detect infections when they first appear. This is particularly true of infections that most often have no or few symptoms, like syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia and tuberculosis in sleeping or early phases.
