The word “Nunavut” means “Our Land” in Inuktut, the language of the Inuit, who represent 85 per cent of Nunavut’s resident’s. The creation of Nunavut as Canada’s third territory had its origins in a desire by Inuit got more say in their future. The first formal presentation of the idea – The Nunavut Proposal – was made to Ottawa in 1976. More than two decades later, in February 1999, Nunavut’s first 19 Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) were elected to a five year term. Shortly after, those MLAs chose one of their own, lawyer Paul Okalik, to be the first Premier. The resulting government is a public one; all may vote - Inuit and non-Inuit, but the outcomes reflect Inuit values.

  • Changing Hazard Exposure in Two Nunavut Communities
    Climate, Society, and Natural Hazards: Changing Hazard Exposure in Two Nunavut Communities James D. Ford Abstract: This article analyzes changing exposure of Inuit to environmental hazards in two Nunavut communities. One hundred and twelve interviews were conducted in Arctic Bay and Igloolik to identify the environmental hazards to which people are susceptible, to provide insights into how hazard exposure has changed over time, and to identify those factors that influence exposure to environmental risks. Analysis of secondary sources was used to add historical depth. The research indicates a complex pattern of changing hazard exposure over the past fifty years. New hazards have emerged, old ones have disappeared, and there have been changes to the magnitude and frequency of hazards that have always affected Inuit. Long- term trends affecting hazard exposure in the two communities include changes in the timing, location, and equipment used in harvesting, which must be situated in the context of changing community socio-cultural dynamics in the second half of the twentieth century. Changing exposure in recent years reflects the interaction of climate change with social, economic, political, and technological changes that have affected Inuit environment interactions. 1. Introduction In many Inuit communities in Canada hunting continues to be a valued activity with social, cultural, and economic signifi cance (Furgal and Seguin, 2006). Risks associated with hunting are well-known and are an accepted part of Arctic life. As highlighted in table 1, frostbite, avalanches, blizzards, ice breakup, thin ice, and bad weather claim lives and extract signifi cant fi nancial cost in terms of lost equipment and search and rescue operations.

  • Tununiq-Does Not Face the Sun
    Tununiq-Does Not Face the Sun “Tununiq” is the term used to describe the Pond Inlet area. Tununiq means that the community does not face the sun during the day. Bylot Island faces the sun and the temperature is much warmer than that of Pond Inlet. “The land that faces away from the sun” Nunavut Handbook. People of Pond Inlet often call themselves “Tununirmiut” and they are referred to as such by surrounding communities. Mittimatalik ( where Mittima is ) is the Inuktitut term for Pond Inlet. A person from Pond Inlet may be called “Mittimatalingmiutaq” ( place ) or “Tununirmiutaq” ( area ). A “Tununirmiutaq” may live anywhere in the Tununiq area, not necessarily in Pond Inlet. Arctic Bay is called ‘Tununirusiq’ in Inuktitut. Meaning “smaller” place that does not face the sun. Arctic Bay also faces away from the sun during the day. People living in and around Arctic Bay are also known as “ Tununirusirmiut”. The traditional name for Arctic Bay is “Ikpiarjuk” meaning pocket. There are three regions in Nunavut Territory: Qikiqtaaluk ( Baffin ), Qitirmiut (Kitikmeot), and Kivalliq (Keewatin ). Each region has its own named areas. Each of the area may contain one or more communities. Here are other areas in Nunavut that I’m aware of ( There are more): Amitturmiut Ahiarmiut Qairnirmiut Tariurmiut Akunnirmiut Uqqurmiut Quttikturmiut Tasiujarmiut Paallirmiut Akullirmiut Aivilingmiut Nattilingmiut Sikusiilarmiut Aggurmiut Qikiqtamiut Tununirmiut Tasiujarjuarmiut I can easily say that I’m Mittimatalingmiutaq ( from Pond Inlet ), Tununiq region, Nunavut territory on the North tip of Baffin Island in Canada. To make it short, I’m a proud Canadian Inuk. Elijah Tigullaraq QSO June 2010 .

  • Community Experiences of Mining in Baker Lake, Nunavut
    Community Experiences of Mining in Baker Lake, Nunavut by Kelsey Peterson A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Geography Guelph, Ontario, Canada ©Kelsey Peterson, April, 2012 ABSTRACT COMMUNITY EXPERIENCES OF MINING IN BAKER LAKE, NUNAVUT Kelsey Peterson Advisor: University of Guelph, 2012 Professor Ben Bradshaw With recent increases in mineral prices, the Canadian Arctic has experienced a dramatic upswing in mining development. With the development of the Meadowbank gold mine, the nearby Hamlet of Baker Lake, Nunavut is experiencing these changes firsthand. In response to an invitation from the Hamlet of Baker Lake, this research document residents’ experiences with the Meadowbank mine. These experiences are not felt homogeneously across the community; indeed, residents’ experiences with mining have been mixed. Beyond this core finding, the research suggests four further notable insights: employment has provided the opportunity for people to elevate themselves out of welfare/social assistance; education has become more common, but some students are leaving high school to pursue mine work; and local businesses are benefiting from mining contracts, but this is limited to those companies pre-existing the mine. Finally, varied individual experiences are in part generated by an individual’s context including personal context and choices. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis would not have been possible without the support and assistance of several key people. My advisor, Ben Bradshaw, has been instrumental in all stages of pre- research, research and writing. From accepting me to the program and connecting me to Baker Lake to funding my research and reading innumerable drafts of the written thesis, Professor Bradshaw has been critical to this research project.

  • Nunavut Community-Based Food Programs
    Nunavut Community-based Food Programs Current as of May 2016 The Nunavut Food Security Coalition supports community efforts that improve access to food for those who are most vulnerable to hunger. The Coalition acknowledges that long-term changes are required to address the root causes of food insecurity, but that short-term food relief efforts are needed in the meantime. The Coalition believes that efforts to support food relief in Nunavut should reflect the Nunavut context by aligning with the Nunavut Food Security Strategy. The Coalition feels as though external support should be directed to community-based efforts, and is committed to developing resources to facilitate relationship building. In Nunavut, there are many community-based programs that contribute to improving food security. These include prenatal nutrition programs, cooking programs, meal programs, land-based programs, and many others. However, these initiatives vary widely depending on the community (i.e. local priorities) and resources (i.e. staff and funding). The large variety of programming that is offered at the local level isn’t conducive to maintaining an exhaustive and up-to-date list. For the most part, these programs have dedicated resources and don’t often require external support. This resource focuses on food programs that address hunger in the short term, such as food banks and soup kitchens. These programs rely on donations and volunteerism, and often require external support. However, the scope of the programs varies widely depending on capacity and need. Some communities have programs that are well-established, while others have programs that are just getting started. Specific contact information is provided where available, and generic Hamlet contact information is provided otherwise.

This paper characterises vulnerability to climate change in two Inuit communities in the Canadian territory of Nunavut, focusing on the resource harvesting sector. In both communities, Inuit have demonstrated significant adaptability in the face of current changes in climatic conditions. This adaptability is facilitated by traditional Inuit knowledge, strong social networks, flexibility in resource use, and institutional support. Changing Inuit livelihoods, however, have undermined certain aspects of adaptive capacity and have resulted in emerging vulnerabilities. Global and regional climate projections indicate that climatic conditions which currently pose risks are expected to be negatively affected by future climate change. These projections are not without precedent and analysis of current vulnerability and identification of adaptation constraints by Inuit in the two communities indicate the continued importance of traditional coping mechanisms. The ability to draw on these coping mechanisms in light of future climate change, however, will be unequal and the research indicates that young Inuit and those without access to economic resources, in particular, are vulnerable.
