Available at www.nammco.no, https://nammco.no/topics/council-reports/ 2 NAMMCO Council Report 2018 REPORT OF THE 26th MEETING OF THE COUNCIL 7-8 March 2018, Tromsø, Norway 1. OPENING PROCEDURES 1.1. Welcome address The Chair of Council, Amalie Jessen (Greenland), welcomed all the participants (Appendix 1) to the 26th meeting of the Council of NAMMCO, and to the premises of the Secretariat. Jessen noted that NAMMCO had undergone a transition from a teen to an adult management organisation during its 26 years of existence. As Chair, she invited NAMMCO to look to the future and be more visionary in dealing with sound conservation and management of marine mammal resources. Being involved already in the predecessor to NAMMCO, the North Atlantic Committee (NAC) and having witnessed the signing of the 1992 agreement, she had the opportunity of observing NAMMCO evolving into a responsible regional management organisation. There will, however, always be room for improvements to make NAMMCO’s work more effective for the benefit of the marine resources and the people utilising marine mammals. She looked forward to the discussions the coming days and hoped for a constructive and visionary meeting. 1.2. Admission of observers On behalf of the Council, the Chair welcomed the attendance of observers (Appendix 1), noting representatives from Canada, Denmark, Japan, the Russian Federation, the International Whaling Commission (IWC), the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO), the North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC), the South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisations, Nunavut Tunngavik Inc., the IWMC World Conservation Trust and Livelihoods International (LIVIN).

  • Launch of the Inuit Nunangat Food-Security Strategy
    NEWS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE DISTRIBUTION LAUNCH OF THE INUIT NUNANGAT FOOD-SECURITY STRATEGY Kuujjuaq, July 14, 2021 – On July 12, 2021, Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami launched the Inuit Nunangat Food-Security Strategy. The Nunavik Regional Board of Health and Social Services and Makivik Corporation welcome this strategy, which aims to deal with the widespread problem of food insecurity by creating a sustainable food system based on Inuit values. Both organizations contributed to its development, in collaboration with ITK. At present, far too many Nunavimmiut struggle to obtain sufficient food. Nearly four out of five adults live in a situation of food insecurity according to data from the Qanuilirpitaa? health survey. Pregnant women, youth and low-income individuals are particularly affected. This has serious impacts on physical and mental health as well as on community vitality. The high cost of living, low incomes, and rapid environmental and social changes are at the core of the problem. The COVID-19 pandemic did not help the situation. The NRBHSS and Makivik are pursuing efforts to resolve this persistent problem, in collaboration with other regional, Federal, and provincial partners. The Inuit Nunangat Food- Security Strategy will serve as a road map to bolster some of the existing initiatives while proposing and opening the door to new solutions. It could also serve as the basis for establishing a new strategy unique to Nunavik. The NRBHSS would like to take this opportunity to remind the communities that support is available for developing local projects aimed at improving access to healthy foods and developing food skills.

The Inuit have used inukshuit for generations for many of their activities, such as a navigational aid, a lure or a marker. Inukshuit also embody spiritual and ancestral connections and have a great symbolic meaning.

  • Negotiating Research Relationships with Inuit Communities
    NEGOTIATING RESEARCH RELATIONSHIPS WITH INUIT COMMUNITIES A GUIDE FOR RESEARCHERS T ABLE OF C ONTENTS ❖ Why we wrote this guide 1 Community Perceptions of Research 1 Advantages of community involvement in research 5 Key Issues to Address 7 Elements of a negotiated research relationship 7 Determining the level of community involvement 10 Initiating community contact 13 Research licensing 16 Communication strategy 18 Negotiating a Research Relationship 21 Useful Links 22 Appendix A 23 Appendix B 25 Why we wrote this guide Northern researchers are ever-aware of the growing expectations on them to ensure that northern communities are involved in, and benefit from, research. But what are researchers really being asked to do? How can community members participate in research? What level of community involvement is appropriate in a given project? What are the best ways to communicate with local people? How can researchers initiate and maintain a meaningful relationship with community members? This guide is an attempt to address these questions, and provide practical advice to assist researchers who plan to work with, or in the vicinity of, Canadian Inuit communities in the regions of Nunatsiavut (Labrador), Nunavik (northern Québec), Nunavut, and the Inuvialuit Settlement Region of the Northwest Territories (NWT) (Map 1). This guide presents some core “universal” themes in communication and relationship-building that apply to natural, physical, biological, and social scientists working in the Canadian North. A range of information is provided in order for researchers to tailor ideas to their specific project objectives, whether they are just beginning or they wish to improve ongoing community-researcher relationships.

  • Annual Progress Report Makivik Corporation
    Makivik Corporation Report for NAMMCO Management Committee Meetings and the Meeting of the Council Oslo, Norway, March 17, 2020 Beluga Beluga whales have been harvested by Nunavik Inuit for millennia for subsistence purposes. Nunavik Inuit harvest from primarily two stocks; Eastern Hudson Bay (EHB) beluga and Western Hudson Bay (WHB) beluga. While the two stocks summer in discrete areas, both stocks share spring and autumn migration routes and overwinter jointly in Hudson Strait and the Labrador Sea. Commercial whaling during the 1800’s severely depleted the EHB stock, for which a conservation concern has currently been identified. The WHB has no conservation concern. Makivik and the Makivik-owned Nunavik Research Centre (NRC) collaborate with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) on the monitoring of the subsistence beluga harvest by Nunavik Inuit. The NRC prepares and distributes the sampling kits to communities and coordinates payments to Nunavik hunters who return the samples. Wildlife technicians at the NRC also use the sampled teeth to age the beluga whales. DFO uses the maqtaq/skin sample for genetic analysis for stock identification, and in some years, for examining for presence of parasites or contamination. Furthermore, the NRC toxicologist has worked with beluga samples to test for the presence of heavy metals (Pb, Hg, Cd, Se) in meat and maqtaq. For 2019, 139 samples were provided by Nunavik communities for analyses. The current 3-year Total Allowable Take (TAT, or quota) for beluga harvested in Nunavik expired in February of 2020. The Nunavik Marine Region Wildlife Board (NMRWB), established and mandated by the Nunavik Inuit Land Claims Agreement, held the first-ever public hearing in Nunavik for establishing a TAT for beluga whales.
