Get PDFThis report was jointly developed in 2004 by an intergovernmental committee established by the Deputy Minister of Nunavut’s Department of Community Development and Transportation, and the Deputy Minister of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). The mandate of the DFO-Nunavut Harbours Working Committee was to review and assess Nunavut’s request for financial assistance for harbour infrastructure from DFO’s Small Craft Harbours Branch. This report summarizes its findings and proposes possible implementation and funding options

Climate Change and the Arctic Archaeological Record: An ArchaeoGeophysical Approach to Assess Site Stability and Predict Future Impact- Report on Work Conducted Under Nunavut Archaeological Permit No. 2014-22A
No full textThis report describes archaeogeophysical fieldwork activities conducted on July 15, 2014
at the LdFa-1 site under Nunavut Archaeologist Permit 2014-22A. This research was
carried out in conjunction with a larger ongoing investigation of archaeological sites and
chert toolstone source locations in the deep interior region of southern Baffin Island (see
Milne NAP report #2014-24A). Dr. Brooke Milne (CEOS, Anthropology, University of
Manitoba) is the principal investigator on both projects. Project co-investigators include:
Drs. Robert Park (Anthropology, University of Waterloo), Mostafa Fayek (Geological
Sciences, University of Manitoba), and Douglas R. Stenton (Culture and Heritage,
Government of Nunavut). In 2014, Dr. Ian Ferguson (Geological Sciences, University of
Manitoba) joined the research team to oversee the archaeogeophysical survey at the site.Funding for this research was provided by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research
Council of Canada in the form of an Insight Grant (435-2012-1176) awarded to Milne
(Principal Investigator), Dr. Robert Park (Co-Investigator; University of Waterloo), Dr.
Mostafa Fayek (Co-Investigator; University of Manitoba), and Dr. Douglas Stenton
(Collaborator; Department of Culture and Heritage, Government of Nunavut). Mulu Serzu
(Department of Geological Sciences, University of Manitoba) and Dr. Rachel ten
Bruggencate (Department of Anthropology, University of Manitoba) assisted with
equipment inventorying and logistics in Winnipeg. Logistical support in Iqaluit was
provided by Rick Armstrong and Mary Ellen Thomas (Nunavut Research Institute).
Logistical air support was organized by the Polar Continental Shelf Program (project
#67114). The field team was led by the author and included Park, Ferguson, and David
Landry (PhD candidate, Department of Anthropology, University of Manitoba). We
gratefully acknowledge these agencies and people for their support
Nunavut: un esfuerzo hacia el entendimiento étnico
Get PDFEn 1993, el gobierno de Canadá y la etnia Inuit acordaron crear una nueva provincia, llamada Nunavut, nuestra tierra. Por su administración, los Innuit reciben 1.1 billones de dólares canadienses durante 14 años pero no harán más reclamos de tierras en Canadá. Los Inuit de Nunavut tienen planes de manejo de fauna y están invirtiendo en nuevas empresas propias, con el apoyo del gobierno, pues crear fuentes de empleo es una prioridad. Nunavut es una oportunidad para rescatar prácticas de caza y pesca en un nuevo contexto, y se espera un renacer del esencialismo étnico. El gobierno canadiense y los Inuit demuestran así que las minorías étnicas pueden ser dueñas de su propio destino.AbstractIn 1993, the Government of Canada and the Inuit people signed an agreement for the creation of a new territory, called Nunavut, our land. By this, Inuit besides receive 1.1 billion dollars (can.) during 14 years for its administration, but decline any other land claim in Canada. Nunavut Inuit have developing plans of wildlife management and harvesting for them, and they are investing in trusts and enterprises of their own, with federal supporting. Employment is an urgent need for Nunavut. In this paper I argue that Nunavut is a valid opportunity for rescuing hunting and fishing practices in a new context, and that it will improve directly Inuit ethnic essentialism. Canadian government and Inuit demonstrate that ethnic minorities may be owners of their destiny
Melting Snow: The changing roles of Iqaluit women in family, work and society.
Get PDFMy thesis is a detailed anthropological study of the experiences of women as a result of their changing gender roles in Inuit families, in the labour market and in Inuit society more broadly. Although McElroy reported as early as 1975 that ‘a higher percentage of the total population of women than of men are employed [in Frobisher Bay and Pangnirtung]’ (McElroy 1975:679) the effects of this have never been systematically researched. This thesis is the first to use theoretical constructs from Bourdieu’s toolkit, including the capitals (social, cultural, symbolic), the habitus and the cultural arbitrary as well as theories of empowerment, to analyse how women have constructed and negotiated meaning in their new roles as financial provider for their families. It draws on data collected during ten months of fieldwork in Iqaluit, Canada, using a mix of qualitative methods including in-depth interviews, group discussions and participant observation.
My findings show that different ideologies, values, ways of life and habitus shape and are shaped by life experiences of women in contemporary Iqaluit. These differences find their basis in women’s upbringing, ranging from traditional, to transitional, to contemporary; women’s experiences with education; and their interactions with incoming institutions with different cultural origins. Social negotiations characterise the process in which women create roles and identities for themselves, combining these different influences. Women’s access to financial and cultural capital in some cases impacts on and is a consequence of women’s empowerment, and their ability to challenge the cultural arbitrary. However, whilst empowerment is generally seen as a positive development, it can upset the balance between partners or other family members, who may struggle to appropriate economic, cultural and social change to the same extent. For that reason, it is important that the people of Nunavut, both men and women, work together to create for themselves a place in their family, community and society in which they can provide a meaningful contribution

Il s’agissait du premier programme de deuxième cycle offert au Nunavut par University of Prince Edward Island en partenariat avec le Ministère de l’Éducation du Nunavut, St. Francis Xavier University et le Nunavut Arctic College. Les auteurs de cet article ont enseigné aux Territoires du Nord-Ouest/Nunavut entre 1982 et 1999 puis ont participés à l’élaboration de ce programme de maîtrise en éducation comme professeurs et chercheurs.Ils tracent ici ses origines aux recherches sur la décolonisation des pratiques éducationnelles inuit dans la région de Baffin entre 1980 et 1999. Ils expliquent ensuite les buts et le déroulement du programme, en examinant de près les défis et approches pédagogiques mis en place pour y arriver.On July 1, 2009 at a special ceremony in Iqaluit, 21 Inuit women graduated from Nunavut’s first graduate degree program, a Master of Education in Leadership and Learning offered by the University of Prince Edward Island in partnership with Nunavut Department of Education, St. Francis Xavier University, and Nunavut Arctic College. The authors of this article, Northwest Territories/Nunavut educators between 1982 and 1999, and university-based professors and researchers who have since been involved in the planning and delivery of the Nunavut M.Ed., trace the roots of the program to decolonising research in educational practices in the Baffin region between 1980 and 1999. They then outline the design and implementation of the program with particular emphasis on its challenges and the approaches necessary for its success.Source type: Electronic(1
