his past June, Inuk Charlie, Paul Malliki and Looty Pijamini broke Trock on the monument commis- sioned to celebrate next year’s 20th anniversary of the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement. The trio of internationally renowned world class carvers was chosen after a lengthy application period. They were selected because of their artistic ability and their previous experience working with large carvings and granite. They were flown from their home communi- ties into Iqaluit last spring to design the monument. They returned early this summer to begin work. By Karen Flaherty/Havaangit Flaherty /

NTI and the importance of Inuit art to the economic sector BY TRAVIS COOPER AND GAYLE KABLOONA

When Inuit art comes to mind, one may think of prints, drawings, carvings, wall-hang- ings, clothing and more, produced by some of Nunavut’s many famous artists. Art show- cases the natural creativity of Inuit, the importance of Inuit ties to our land and animals, and our cultural values, identity and history. What may not jump to mind is Inuit art’s role in the economic sector.

Whale harvest 2012 in Kugluktuk, Nunavut

STORY AND PHOTOS BY MILLIE KULIKTANA

Guided by Tommy Pigalak, his grandchildren and daughters butchered and prepared and shared dried meat for the winter sup- ply of food. The process involved many steps and everyone was in- volved as we peeled back the muktuk, removed all backstraps and sawed the ribs into sections. Meat was filleted and hung to dry after being soaked in salt water. Once the meat was dried, it was canned ᐊᓪᓛᑦ ᑖᒥ ᐱᒐᓚᒃ ᐃᓗᐱᕈᖓ ᓚᐃᑕᓐ ᐃᑲᔪᓕᓚᐅᖅᑐᖅ ᓂᕿᑦᓴᓕᐅᖅᑎᓪᓗᒋᑦ. in layers with blubber slices, then covered with cloth and placed in Even Tommy Pigalak’s great-grandson Leighton helped in the harvest. a cool, dry space for aging.

Google has a mapping tool called Google Earth, which is open and freely available to everyone who wishes to Google use it. Google Earth is a virtual globe map of the Earth. It allows everyone to see what the world looks like with in the Arctic high definition satellite imagery. In the fall of 2011, I attended a Google Outreach workshop in Vancouver CHRIS KALLUK where the Google Outreach team offered instruction on using these online mapping tools. It was during this course that I first spoke to Google I am a geographic information system about bringing Google to the Arctic. My hope was to and information technology coordina- make Nunavut the next stop for Google Street View. In 2007, Google launched Street View, which allows users tor in the Department of Lands and to go online and view 360 degree panoramas of cities Resources at Nunavut Tunngavik Inc. and communities around the world. Since the launch, Street View has gone off the beaten path, taking users in Cambridge Bay. I work with map- on virtual rides aboard a train in the Swiss Alps, a trip ping tools that allow me to create and down Brazil’s Amazon, and even an expedition to the use maps. Antarctic.
