  • Tukitaaqtuq Explain to One Another, Reach Understanding, Receive Explanation from the Past and the Eskimo Identification Canada System
    Tukitaaqtuq explain to one another, reach understanding, receive explanation from the past and The Eskimo Identification Canada System by Norma Jean Mary Dunning A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Faculty of Native Studies University of Alberta ©Norma Jean Mary Dunning, 2014 ABSTRACT The government of Canada initiated, implemented, and officially maintained the ‘Eskimo Identification Canada’ system from 1941-1971. With the exception of the Labrador Inuit, who formed the Labrador Treaty of 1765 in what is now called, NunatuKavat, all other Canadian Inuit peoples were issued a leather-like necklace with a numbered fibre-cloth disk. These stringed identifiers attempted to replace Inuit names, tradition, individuality, and indigenous distinctiveness. This was the Canadian governments’ attempt to exert a form of state surveillance and its official authority, over its own Inuit citizenry. The Eskimo Identification Canada system, E- number, or disk system eventually became entrenched within Inuit society, and in time it became a form of identification amongst the Inuit themselves. What has never been examined by an Inuk researcher, or student is the long-lasting affect these numbered disks had upon the Inuit, and the continued impact into present-day, of this type of state-operated system. The Inuit voice has not been heard or examined. This research focuses exclusively on the disk system itself and brings forward the voices of four disk system survivors, giving voice to those who have been silenced for far too long. i PREFACE This thesis is an original work by Norma Dunning. The research project, of which this thesis is a part, received research ethics approval from the University of Alberta Research Ethics Board, Project Name: “Tukitaaqtuq (they reach understanding) and the Eskimo Identification Canada system,” PRO00039401, 05/07/2013.

  • Relocating the Ahiarmiut from Ennadai Lake to Arviat (1950-1958)
    INALCO 2009, Proceedings of the 15th Inuit Studies Conference, Orality (Paris, 2006) Relocating the Ahiarmiut from Ennadai Lake to Arviat (1950-1958) Frédéric Laugrand Department of Anthropology and CIÉRA, Laval University (Québec, Canada) [email protected] Jarich Oosten Faculty of Social Sciences, Leiden University (Leiden, Netherlands) [email protected] David Serkoak Arviat (Nunavut, Canada) / Nunavut Sivuniksavut (Ottawa, Canada) [email protected] Introduction The relocations of the Ahiarmiut from Ennadai Lake between 1950 and 1958 are considered as a failure that caused great distress to the native population. The testimonies of the Ahiarmiut elders we recorded in Arviat all show how these relocations were experienced as a painful and terrible deportation. Scholars such as F. Tester and P. Kulchyski (1994) and A. Marcus (1995) have examined the policies of the Canadian administration which, through various agencies notably the Department of Indian and Northern Resources (DIANR) and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), have prepared the relocations. Even if there existed considerable differences between and within these various agencies all shared common values with respect to the necessity to assume responsibility for the well being of the native people. But the perspectives of the Ahiarmiut themselves were never discussed in any detail. So far, little attention has been paid to the lasting effects of these relocations on the Ahiarmiut population. In 2003 we organised a workshop with Ahiarmiut elders on 'Survival and Angakkuuniq' in Arviat (Nunavut). In the course of this workshop the Ahiarmiut elders Job and Eva Muqyunnik, Luke and Mary Anautalik often reflected on the events that almost fifty years ago had disrupted their lives and still affected them.
