    Speaking Notes for President Todd Russell at the Announcement of Recognition of Indigenous Rights and Self-Determination Discussions with the Government of Canada Happy Valley-Goose Bay, Labrador July 12, 2018 CHECK AGAINST DELIVERY 2 Thank you Dorothy and good morning to you all. It is a pleasure and a true honour to be here today on behalf of the NunatuKavut Community Council and our people, the Southern Inuit of NunatuKavut. Let us acknowledge our elders – those of you who are here with us, those in our communities who could not be present and those who have passed on. They are our constant connection and reminder of where we have come from, and to the land to which we belong. I welcome Minister Carolyn Bennett, Parliamentary Secretary and Labrador MP Yvonne Jones, Provincial Minister Lisa Dempster, our people and other special guests for joining us for this historic announcement. We welcome you to our traditional territory of NunatuKavut, which is shared territory with other Indigenous peoples. This is a long-awaited day for all Southern Inuit as we embark upon a path together with the Government of Canada that respects our Inuit rights and our right to self-determination. I want to personally recognize Prime Minister Trudeau and Minister Bennett for their diligence on following through on a promise of a renewed relationship with Indigenous peoples, and specifically with Southern Inuit. The Prime Minister, who was then Liberal Party Leader, committed that a Liberal government would “accept the NunatuKavut Land Claim and move it to the negotiating table immediately.” After an intense and rigorous process of engagement that commitment is being fulfilled.

  • Statement: Nunatukavut Calls on Province to Stop Celebration Of
    STATEMENT FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NUNATUKAVUT CALLS ON PROVINCE TO STOP CELEBRATION OF “DISCOVERY DAY” HAPPY VALLEY-GOOSE BAY, LABRADOR, June 15, 2020 – Following a letter written to Premier Dwight Ball today, NunatuKavut Community Council (NCC) President Todd Russell issued the statement below: “NCC is calling on the provincial government to end the observance of Discovery Day in Newfoundland and Labrador. It is a day that perpetuates colonialist policies and a legacy that has detrimentally impacted NunatuKavut Inuit and our communities for generations. It undermines our people’s longstanding connection to our lands, sea and ice and carries with it an inaccurate and misleading understanding of history. The celebration of a day devoted to ‘discovery’ is also supported by the Doctrine of Discovery, which sought to rationalize the pillage and theft of Indigenous lands. This doctrine has been resoundingly rejected. The time has come to rid our society of these symbols of colonization and oppression. There is a strong and ongoing movement against racism and a fight for equality happening in Canada and around the world. People are fighting for justice and are standing up for lasting change. Ending the observance of Discovery Day is an opportunity to contribute to reconciliation and correct the narrative about the history of Indigenous peoples in this part of the world. NCC commits to working with Premier Ball and Indigenous leaders on naming a day that celebrates and appropriately reflects the facts of history and the tremendous contributions of all Indigenous peoples to this province. This act of positive change would open the space for other acts of reconciliation to take place.
