  • News Release
    News Release GN encourages Greenland to begin scheduled flights to Nunavut IQALUIT, Nunavut (February 25, 2011) – Premier Eva Aariak and Minister of Economic Development & Transportation Peter Taptuna are recommending Air Greenland open an air link between Iqaluit and Greenland. This afternoon, both Premier Aariak and Minister Taptuna made their pitch to Greenland Premier Kuupik Kleist, other Greenland ministers and employees of Air Greenland. “Nunavut and Greenland share a similar language, history, culture and education,” said Premier Aariak. “We could capitalize on and strengthen these similarities by establishing an air link between both regions. Both jurisdictions have signed a memorandum of understanding that formalizes our agreement. This air link will further cement our already solid relationship.” Air Greenland is considering Iqaluit as a Canadian destination. Minister Taptuna says scheduled flights between the two regions make sense. “There are many business partnerships that could be forged if the route between Iqaluit and Greenland is established,” said Taptuna. “There are tourism, fishery, construction and mining synergies out there that could be approached if we have direct access to Greenland. People around the world are looking to do business in the north and we should be traveling across the Davis Strait to see how we can mutually benefit from this interest.” Nuuk to Iqaluit is the first step in a one-day trip to Ottawa, Montreal or Toronto. There are three airlines providing jet service to Ottawa and beyond. Iqaluit is also a hub for flights to most Nunavut communities. There is a 20-year history of flight between Iqaluit and Greenland – 13 years between Iqaluit and Nuuk and seven years between Kangerlussuaq and Iqaluit.

  • Land, Language, and Learning: Inuit Share Experiences and Expectations of Schooling
    LAND, LANGUAGE, AND LEARNING: INUIT SHARE EXPERIENCES AND EXPECTATIONS OF SCHOOLING ALESHA D. MOFFAT A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN EDUCATION YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO December 2017 © Alesha D. Moffat, 2017 ii ABSTRACT For decades, many Inuit have expressed the need for schooling to reflect Inuit culture, language, values, and worldview. Significant strides have been made to create a school system responsive to Inuit culture and community needs, to increase opportunities for Inuit teachers, and promote Inuit knowledge and language. Despite considerable changes since the establishment of federal day schools across the Eastern Arctic, the imposed school system retains qualities of the southern Canadian model with Qallunaat (non-Inuit) comprising the majority of teaching staff. This critical ethnography focuses on the shared experiences of schooling in Arctic Bay, Nunavut. Interviews with 24 Inuit, all of whom attended or still attend Inuujaq School, form the basis of this work. Prior teaching experience in the community, and elsewhere in Nunavut, contextualizes the research. My goal has been to come to better understandings of Inuit experiences of schooling, and the meanings Inuit attach to their experiences in the hopes that the insights offered may inform teaching practices and pedagogies and contribute to better support for Inuit students. Drawing on Indigenous thought, more specifically Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit, a holistic, diverse, and flexible theory of knowledge, grounded in Inuit culture and worldview, I explore some of the tensions and contradictions between Qallunaat teaching approaches and Inuit cultural values and educational practices through analysis of the narratives of Inuit students.

  • Found in Translation
    Advance Praise for Found in Translation “Nataly Kelly and Jost Zetzsche have assembled a treasure trove of interesting and entertaining stories to show how translation and interpreting affect all aspects of life. Anyone with an interest in languages—both spoken and signed —will enjoy this book.” —Marlee Matlin, Academy Award–winning actress “A fascinating book about language and the importance of translation. Kelly and Zetzsche demonstrate how technology and translation help build communities and expand the quest for knowledge on virtually every subject.” —Anthony Salcito, Vice President of Education, Microsoft “Nataly Kelly and Jost Zetzsche have done essential work in capturing the stories behind translation, and how we all experience its value every day. As they observe, ‘Right this very minute, translation is saving lives, perhaps even yours.’” —Laura I. Gomez, Localization Manager, Twitter “Found in Translation is a meditation, an exposé, and practical guidebook to humanity’s continued, painstaking ascent of our monumental tower of Babel. Without language diversity, we would be intellectually impoverished, and with it we are enriched. But without translators to interpret and bridge that diversity, we would remain ignorant and isolated, locked each of us in our own native tongue’s limited worldview.” —K. David Harrison, PhD, Swarthmore College and National Geographic Society “This is by far the most meaningful book on the subject of translation that I have ever seen. The authors have managed to entertain, inform, and show how translation impacts all aspects of our life, from health to business to entertainment and technology, all supported with real-life examples.” —Ghassan Haddad, Director of Internationalization, Facebook “During times of war, weapons make the difference.
