  • Akutaq1: the Impact of Colonialism on Inuit Religiosity and Literature
    ESSAYS ___________________________________________________________ EJAS Akutaq1: The Impact of Colonialism on Inuit Religiosity and Literature Rita Nándori The Spiritual Shift: Magic Songs Versus Hymns and Journals “Above each hut waved a little white flag—signs that the inmates had relinquished their old heathen faith and become Christian” (Rasmussen 118). The shaman Aua had explained to Knud Rasmussen that traditions based on experience and generational knowledge are what the Inuit adhere to. The harsh Arctic life is reflected in Aua’s description of Inuit beliefs. The shaman explains that fear is the primary guiding force of life: “We fear the elements with which we have to fight in their fury to wrest out food from land and sea. We fear cold and famine in our snow huts. We fear the sickness that is daily to be seen amongst us. We fear the souls of the dead of human and animals alike.” (Rasmussen 130) This summary of Inuit faith is not foreign to Christianity where god-fearing is an often-used term. All of the things feared by Aua—such as illness and a variety of hardships—are feared by Christians as well. While Christians believe that everything is governed by the will of God, the Inuit are less certain why things happen the way they do (Rasmussen 129-130). The existence of the spirit world— something divine that is beyond the material world— that intertwines all is not unknown to Inuit faith. To be a good person is what the Christian commandments teach people, similarly Inuit teachings rest upon proper behaviour and avoidance of evil doings (Piercey-Lewis 252-253).

  • 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.

I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the head of my department or by his or her representatives.

Department of M0S \ C The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date flffoL 3.6 Rqfe DE-6 (2/88) ABSTRACT In this thesis, First Nations popular music is examined as a polysemic sign (or symbolic form) whose meaning is mediated both socially and politically. Native popular music is a locus for the action of different social forces which interact in negotiating the nature and the meaning of the music. Music is socially meaningful in that it provides a means by which people construct and recognize social and cultural identities. As such, First Nations popular music functions as an emblem of symbolic differentiation between Canadian natives and non-natives. Native pop music plays host to a number of political meanings embedded in this syncretic musical form.

  • Susan Aglukark2
    SUSAN AGLUKARK Singer / songwriter I feel very strongly that Scott’s plan will create healthier dialogue around suicide, especially with those left behind by suicide. This dialogue is a missing piece and critical element in the process of “healthy” grieving and in healthy closure. Singer / songwriter Susan Aglukark is one of Canada’s most unique artists and a leading voice in Canadian music. She blends the Inuktitut and English languages with contemporary pop music arrangements to tell the stories of her people, the Inuit of Arctic Canada. The emotional depth and honesty of her lyrics; her pure, clear voice and themes of hope, spirit and encouragement have captivated and inspired listeners from all walks of life. Susan’s genuine concern for others combined with her political & social awareness lead many to view her as a role model. She is also rapidly becoming known as an uplifting motivational speaker, able to reach both youth and adult audiences alike. Susan had held command performances for HRH Queen Elizabeth (twice), Canadian Prime Ministers Jean Chretien and Brian Mulroney and the President of France, Jacques Chirac. She has performed for Nelson Mandela and Governor General of Canada Adrienne Clarkson as well as several other dignitaries. Equally important to her are the many, many villages across Canada and the Arctic. Most recently, Susan was invited into the Order Canada and was presented her Ocer of the Order of Canada award in September of 2005 for her contribution both musically and as a workshop facilitator and mentor in the aboriginal community. Awards include: Juno Awards (3) and several Juno nominations presented by C.A.R.A.S.

    MOOSEHIDE GATHERING 2014 Welcome A Message from Chief Eddie Taylor Drin Hǫzǫ Guests, Welcome to Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in Traditional Territory and the 2014 Moosehide Gathering. These gatherings are an opportunity to keep the values of our ancestors alive and teach future generations. They help us reconnect with friends and family from around the North and make new connections with visitors from around the world. Above all, it’s a great chance to enjoy the peace and spirituality that Moosehide offers. On behalf of all Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in, it’s my pleasure to welcome you to Moosehide. You honour us with your presence; your visit is a gift. Mähsi cho, Chief Eddie Taylor The Story of the Moosehide Gathering In the late 1800s, Chief Isaac of the Hän people recognized his community’s traditions and way of life were threatened by the massive impact of gold seekers to the Klondike Valley. He sent his First Nation’s dancing stick (the gänhäk) and traditional Hän songs to the old Tanacross village at Lake Mansfield in present day Alaska. At this time, the Hän people moved from their fish camp at the mouth of the Klondike and Yukon rivers, called Tr'ochëk, to Moosehide Village where we celebrate the Gathering today. The Tanacross community and extended family members held the songs for Chief Isaac's people until they were ready to reclaim them. Laura Sanford and others from Tanacross held our Hän songs over the years. In 1991, at the Yukon Aboriginal Language Conference, the renewal of Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in culture began.
