Beginning in November, RCMP officers in Iqaluit will be equipped with body-worn cameras as part of a national pilot project.
The news comes after an increasing number of calls for the devices were made by all levels of government within the territory and beyond.
“I’m very excited about this program,” said Nunavut’s justice minister, Jeannie Ehaloak, on Wednes-day, Oct. 21, having been given the news by federal Public Safety Minister Bill Blair earlier in the day.
“We hope this pilot pro-ject initiative is successful, and that it can be used as a model going forward in the rollout of body-worn cam-eras across our territory.”
According to an accom-panying RCMP news release, the goal of the pilot project “is to evaluate processes and best practices with existing technology in remote regions, and to engage the commu-nity on perceptions and satis-faction with this technology.”
When asked how he would measure whether or not the cameras are effective at strengthening trust within the community, Northern Af-fairs Minister Dan Vandal replied, “First of all, you’ve got to actually begin the pro-ject.”
Vandal then acknowl-edged that every program and initiative is evaluated.
“That will really be the true test,” he said.
“But based on previous projects, previous evidence
and consultation, we’re con-vinced that this initiative is going to be critical to strengthening trust and transparency, which is equally important and by having more transparent in-teractions between public and police, you’re going to enhance accountability.”
Ehaloak also said that she was “very confident” that the cameras would increase transparency.
The RCMP news release announcing the cameras pro-vided no details on how they would be used.
In Nunavik, where the Kativik Regional Police Force has been piloting a body-worn camera pilot program since January, the internal procedures on the use of the cameras are not available to the public.
According to Erick Lam-ing, a Shabot Obaadjiwan First Nation PhD candidate in criminology at the Univer-sity of Toronto, this isn’t un-usual.
“In Calgary, they’ve had cameras for over a year on all officers and we can’t even get access to that policy publicly, we’d have to go through an FOI [freedom of information request],” he said in June.
“So if we don’t even know what the policy says publicly, how can we trust what’s going on?”
When asked who would have access to the footage, Ehaloak said she had “no idea” and that she was only told about the launch of the project the previous day.

Nunavut Tunngavik Inc. is calling on the federal govern-ment to forgive any debts in-curred by Inuit who collected the Canada Emergency Re-sponse Benefit when they were ineligible to do so dur-ing the COVID-19 pandemic.
NTI delegates said Nunavummiut should not be penalized because they took CERB benefits in one of many resolutions they passed on Thursday, Oct. 22, the final day of the organiza-tion’s annual general meeting in Cambridge Bay.
Inuit should not be “ex-posed to undue hardship through taking of benefits” and that any “benefits re-ceived in error are forgiven,” the resolution said.
Many Inuit didn’t under-stand that by accepting the money they would be penal-ized later, the resolution said.
The CERB was a tempo-rary federal income support for people who had stopped working due to COVID-19, amounting to $500 a week for up to 16 weeks.
People who had earned more than $5,000 in the last 12 months from other em-ployment were eligible to apply for the CERB.
When applying for the CERB, applicants did not need to provide proof they had been laid off or lost their jobs due to COVID-19.
As of June 28, more than 8,800 Nunavut residents had received the CERB, according to Statistics Canada.
In May and June, Nunavut Premier Joe Savikataaq repeatedly cau-tioned residents that the CERB was not “free money,” and that if you are not eligi-ble to receive it, you will probably have to pay it back.
“It is a taxable benefit in-tended to help people who have been laid off or whose employment has been im-pacted because of the pan-demic. If your circumstances have not changed because of COVID-19, please don’t ac-cess this program. If you are not eligible for this program, you will likely have to pay some or all of it back in the future,” Savikataaq said.
But NTI asserts that many Nunavummiut thought it was a universal benefit and applied in good faith: “there was confusion and misunder-
standing regarding CERB eli-gibility among Inuit,” the res-olution said.
Inuit living in extreme poverty are not in a position to repay, the resolution said, so NTI calls “on governments of Canada and Nunavut to address high risk of COVID-19” instead.
NTI calls for better housing, education,
health and social services
Other resolutions asked the federal and territorial gov-ernments to improve condi-tions in education, health and housing.
A resolution on housing said governments need to make sure “basic human rights” are met and move to improve housing.
It also said that COVID-19 public health recommenda-tions highlighted the need to deal with overcrowding and the lack of affordable housing among Nunavut Inuit.
Inadequate housing pre-vents Inuit from safeguarding themselves and practising physical distancing during the pandemic, the resolution said.
The resolution, which cited a recent Nunavut Hous-ing Corp. report, said the gov-ernment must adequately fund housing so Inuit can have their basic human rights met.
NTI delegates also asked for the governments of Nunavut and Canada to con-duct a review of medical ser-vices and standards in Nunavut, “including the model of care, Inuit employ-ment and transportation, and make the review publicly available.”
During the AGM, dele-gates heard how the Kitik-meot region lacks a medevac base for an air ambulance, re-sulting in longer response times during emergencies.
The resolution also men-tioned NTI’s report on Nunavut infrastructure, re-leased on Oct. 20, which said only 14 per cent of Inuit have a regular health-care provider compared to 85 per cent of Canadians.
Delegates also asked for action to deal with suicide. They called for more special-ized mental health units and better counselling, along with actions to reduce poverty and other social in-equities that “cause distress among Inuit.”
The resolution said the Nunavut government must fulfil its commitment to “an Inuit-centric approach for community wellness.”
NTI says urban and rural Inuit need more programs and services
In another resolution, NTI said that the estimated 5,000 Nunavut Inuit who live in southern Canada also need access to more programs and services.
The resolution called for Ottawa to conduct an imme-diate needs assessment of Inuit living outside Nunavut that could guide the creation of new federally funded pro-grams and services.
NTI wants help for Inuit business, offers a break to Grays Bay road and
port project Delegates also passed resolu-tions asking for stricter im-plementation of Article 24 of the Nunavut Agreement, which states Inuit firms should have priority over other companies competing for government contracts.
Municipalities are ex-empt from this policy, and the Nunavut government also finds ways to get around it, Tagaq Curley, the Kivalliq Inuit Association’s vice-pres-ident, told the AGM.
The resolution says the Nunavut government should use private equipment in-stead of municipally owned equipment for contracts, so Inuit workers and contrac-tors can derive more benefit.
Delegates also supported the Kitikmeot Inuit Associa-tion in its drive to see the $550-million Grays Bay road and port project move ahead by approving an interest-free loan to the KIA.
In 2018, NTI AGM dele-gates agreed to a 10-year loan of up to $7.25 million to the KIA from NTI’s Nunavut Inuit Development Fund for the project.
Those at this AGM moved to remove the 2.5 per cent in-terest charged on the loan to help Grays Bay get ready for environmental assessment “for its exceptional merits.”
Although progress slowed down due to COVID-19, get-ting the project “shovel ready” should now take two to three years, KIA President Stanley Anablak said during his report to the AGM.
Delegates seek increase in Dolphin and Union
caribou quota One of the main topics de-bated during the meeting—caribou management—was also addressed in a resolution.
Delegates called for an
immediate change to the in-terim quota for the Dolphin and Union caribou herd and for the Nunavut government to immediately increase the interim total allowable har-vest from one to two per cent of the herd’s population.
That would see the total allowable harvest rise to 84, up from 42.
The resolution says the 2018 herd population survey was “flawed” and that the in-terim quota goes against the Nunavut Agreement because it does not respect the role of Inuit in wildlife decisions.
The resolution also asked for the Nunavut Wildlife Management Board to con-duct a full review of the total allowable harvest.
And it called on the Nunavut government to fully involve hunters, communi-
ties and their traditional knowledge in any new popu-lation surveys.
Delegates did not sup-port a resolution asking for support for a campaign to ed-ucate Inuit about harvesting caribou to avoid wastage.
“We don’t need govern-ment to help us with that one.… It’s our internal Inuit problem,” Curley said.
But delegates decided not to move on clamping down on the sale of caribou on social media: that, Savikataaq said when he came to the AGM, would mean reopening the Nunavut Agreement to change the section that allows Inuit to sell or trade country foods like caribou or fish.
The next NTI AGM takes place in Iqaluit from Oct. 18 to Oct. 21, 2021.
No community feast took
place in Cambridge Bay dur-ing the AGM due to COVID-19 restrictions. Instead, $2,500 was awarded to the commu-nity’s food bank and to elders who live at the continuing-care facility.
NTI President Aluki Kotierk also announced that the NTI board members ap-proved the launch of a finan-cial support program for elders, called Uqqujjait In-narnut.
The program will pro-vide Nunavut Inuit elders, born between Jan. 1, 1949, and Dec. 31, 1955, with monthly payments of $120.
NTI also gave Emily An-gulalik, the chair of Pitquhirnikkut Ilihau-tiniq/Kitikmeot Heritage So-ciety, $10,000 to help with the society’s work to revitalize Inuinnaqtun.

Following an incident captured by KRPF officers equipped with body-worn cameras in June, a command-ing officer concluded, “I’ve viewed the body-camera footage and the actions of the police officer are appropriate and within our policies.”
For Laming, this level of oversight is troubling.
“If you implement body cameras without a proper civilian oversight agency, it’s counterproductive because it’s still the police investigating the police when it comes to re-viewing the footage,” he said.
Currently, in Nunavut, external police forces are called in to investigate RCMP-related incidents, such as the one in Kinngait in June, though this may change soon with the introduction of
Bill 53, an Act to Amend the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Agreement Act, during the current sitting of the leg-islative assembly.
Promoted by Ehaloak in June, the amendment could mean the territory will see a new model for civilian over-sight of the RCMP.
According to Ehaloak, Blair also committed to sup-porting the Government of Nunavut with financial re-sources if the program ex-pands across the territory.
The Iqaluit pilot program is meant to help inform a broader national body-worn camera initiative.
Aside from strengthening trust, transparency and ac-countability, Vandal sees the program as a small step to-wards tackling the systemic racism in government insti-tutions, including the RCMP.
The broader Canada-wide initiative is meant to en-courage improved police and public behaviour, increase the timely resolutions of pub-lic complaints, and enhance evidence gathering and pros-ecutions.
According to the RCMP news release, part of the chal-lenge of such a national pro-gram is the management of all of the footage recorded by the cameras, particularly in communities with limited in-frastructure.
To meet those manage-ment needs, Public Services and Procurement Canada has posted a request for informa-tion to gather vendor details, which will then lead to a con-tract bidding process that is ex-pected to happen early in 2021.

Four months after various levels of government and political figures from within Nunavut and beyond called for the use of body-worn cameras on RCMP officers, the RCMP announced on Oct. 21 that the devices will be deployed in Iqaluit next month as part of a pilot program that will help inform a broader national initiative.

Nunavut has the highest rate of overcrowded housing in Canada, the slowest internet speeds and the poorest access to local health-care services in the country.
Sound familiar? A new study confirms
what most Nunavummiut al-ready know and live: that in-frastructure across the territory lags well behind that in the rest of Canada.
Nunavut’s Infrastructure Gap, a report prepared by Nunavut Tunngavik Inc. and released last week, aims to quantify those disparities, high-lighting the adverse impacts on Nunavut Inuit and calling on the federal government for in-vestment and action.
“Nunavut Inuit are not asking for special treatment,” said NTI President Aluki Kotierk in an Oct. 21 news re-lease. “We are asking for the same level of infrastructure and services that other Cana-dians expect across the coun-try.
“The size of this gap isn’t a surprise to Nunavut Inuit: we live it every day,” she said. “The gap is a barrier to our potential, and closing it is a necessary task of reconcilia-tion.”
The report was able to quantify that gap for priority areas, including health-care services, housing, transporta-tion and communications. The report drew on existing data and interviews with pol-icy-makers and stakeholders
to determine the following: • Only 14 per cent of
Nunavut residents have ac-cess to a regular health-care provider, compared to 85 per cent of Canadians. About half of the children born to Nunavut Inuit have to be born outside the terri-tory, while most major treatments must be done in southern hospitals.
• Nunavut is the only province or territory with no highway or railroad ac-cess. The territory has only one harbour out of the 1,010 harbours across the country, despite being home to about 40 per cent of Canada’s shoreline.
• Nunavut is the only province or territory where there is no access to inter-
net speeds over 25 megabits per second.
• Eighty-five per cent of Nunavut’s water treatment infrastructure is considered to be in poor condition.
• None of Nunavut’s energy is produced by renewable resources, compared to 67 per cent of the electricity produced elsewhere in Canada.
• Nunavut has the highest rate of overcrowded hous-ing in Canada, with the highest number of occu-pants per dwelling at 3.1 people per home, com-pared to the national aver-age of 2.3.
• The territory has the largest proportion of housing in need of major repair, at nearly six times the na-tional average.
• Nunavut is the only province or territory with-out its own central mu-seum or heritage centre.
NTI argues that those
gaps prevent Nunavummiut from achieving well-being and equity with their fellow Canadians, while they con-tinue to face barriers to eco-nomic opportunity, food sovereignty and even COVID-19 preparedness.
The report calls for im-mediate and major invest-ments from the federal government to start to bring the territory up to national standards.
NTI noted that Ottawa has committed to closing the northern and Indigenous in-frastructure gap in its recent throne speech.
“Through this report, we now know the size of Nunavut’s infrastructure gap,” Kotierk said.
“Now the federal govern-ment needs to partner with Nunavut Inuit and make the investments needed to meet their commitment. Inuit are ready to do this necessary work together with Ottawa.”
“The gap is a barrier to our potential, and closing it is a necessary task of reconciliation”

Mumilaaq Qaqqaq, the New Democratic Party MP for Nunavut, will take at least eight weeks off work for health reasons, she said in a short statement released late Friday afternoon, Oct. 23.
In her statement, Qaqqaq said that recently she’s been struggling with “some per-sonal health issues.”
She did not state the na-ture of those health issues, but did say they have noth-ing to do with COVID-19.
“I’d like to assure Nunavummiut that my con-dition is not COVID-19 re-lated. The doctor has suggested at least eight weeks off to heal. Although it has been a hard decision to make, I feel it is important to follow this advice,” she said.
She noted that about one year has passed since her election to the House of Com-mons on Oct. 21, 2019, when she took 40.8 per cent of the vote in Nunavut to defeat Liberal candidate Megan Pizzo Lyall, Conservative candidate Leona Aglukkaq and Green Party candidate Douglas Roy.
“I started my campaign with a commitment to fight for basic human rights. There is no doubt that Nunavut would see a major drop in deaths by suicide if the fed-
eral government would just honour their obligations and provide adequate housing,” her statement said.
She also said that her constituents remain her pri-ority and that her office will remain open so that staff can help constituents with their needs.
“I am deeply grateful for the support and understand-ing of my family, friends, col-leagues, and everyone else. With sincere gratitude, matna,” she said.
“I will see you again soon.”

Pangnirtung student and community advocate Jenna Kilabuk is the recipient of two academic scholarships: the John Amagoalik and Laura Ulluriaq Gauthier scholarships.
The Qikiqtani Inuit Asso-ciation announced the $5,000 John Amagoalik scholarship on Monday, Oct. 19, which is handed out each year to a post-secondary student studying in a field that pro-motes Inuit language and culture.
The Qulliq Energy Corp. announced on Oct. 23 that Kilabuk was selected to re-ceive the $5,000 Laura Ul-luriaq Gauthier scholarship,
given each year to a Nunavut student who demonstrates outstanding academic achievement and commit-ment to community involve-ment.
That scholarship pays tribute to Ulluriaq Gauthier, who was instrumental in the establishment of Nunavut’s own independent utility. She died in 2000.
Kilabuk, a mother, ham-let councillor and aspiring teacher, is now in her second year of the four-year Nunavut Teacher Education Program at Nunavut Arctic College.
“I am honoured to have been selected as a recipient of the John Amagoalik Scholar-ship,” she said in a news re-
lease. “I believe John’s jour-ney and experiences have greatly contributed to the learning for individuals like me.”
Amagoalik was born and raised in Inukjuak, until his family was relocated to the High Arctic in the 1950s. He is often called the Father of Nunavut for the work he did towards the creation of the territory. He chaired the Nunavut Implementation Commission and headed Inuit Tapirisat of Canada.
Nunavut students who wish to apply for next year’s scholarship must be enrolled in a post-secondary program, and preferably one that pro-motes Inuit culture.
Applicants must write a 500-word essay on how their decision to pursue their stud-ies was inspired by Amagoa-lik’s work, as well as by the Nunavut Agreement.
Students can contact the QIA for more information.

The Nunavut Housing Corp.’s war on mould is turning into a long, expen-sive slog. But they’re dead set on achieving victory, the cor-poration’s acting minister, Joe Savikataaq, told MLAs last week.
Savikataaq said on Oct. 22 in a minister’s statement that the corporation has
spent $24.1 million on mould remediation to date, and over the next six years plans to spend an additional $30.7 million, starting with $5 mil-lion during the 2021–22 fiscal year.
“Progress feels slow, but the Nunavut Housing Corp. remains committed to a fu-ture in which we have reme-diated every single instance of mould in our public hous-
ing units,” Savikataaq said. So far, the corporation
has removed mould from more than 147 units in 19 communities. They’ve also trained staff at all 25 local housing organizations in mould remediation.
This past summer, Nunavut MP Mumilaaq Qaqqaq toured communities in the Kitikmeot and Kivalliq regions to document poor housing conditions, saying some people are living in “mould boxes.”
Savikataaq, however, said the NHC plans to fight mould “as never before.”
“To the public housing tenants who have mould in their units, I ask them to call their local housing organiza-tions and let them know im-mediately. Please do not delay; do it today.”
In a committee of the whole discussion the previ-ous day, Oct. 21, Terry Audla, the president of the NHC, said the money will allow the corporation to remediate mould from about 44 units per year.
In response to a question
from Arviat North–Whale Cove MLA John Main, Audla said the corporation will work with local housing or-ganizations and try to give priority to communities hard-est hit by mould infestations.
“What we will do is we will be reaching out to the local housing organizations and work with them, as well as with the contractor, to en-sure that those communities that have the most instances are going to be given the pri-ority that they need to be given, and to ensure that we address those that have po-tentially a lot more instances of it,” Audla said.
On the same day, Savikataaq had presented the housing corporation’s capital budget for the fiscal year that starts next April 1, totalling $78.3 million.
It’s made up of $48.5 mil-lion to be received from the Government of Nunavut, plus another $29.8 million from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp., Savikataaq said.
The Nunavut govern-ment’s $48.5-million capital
contribution to the housing corporation next year repre-sents the largest single item in the territory’s $164-million capital budget for 2021–22.
The Department of Edu-cation’s capital budget is the second largest, at $35.2 mil-lion, followed by the Depart-ment of Community and Government Services at $26.5 million and the Department of Health at $24.5 million.
As for social housing construction, Savikataaq said the government will con-struct 35 new public housing units and 12 new staff units across the territory next year.
Construction costs skyrocketing
But the NHC is running into a big problem that will likely reduce the number of new public housing units it’s able to build each year with the limited number of dollars available to them: escalating construction costs.
The average cost of build-ing a single social housing unit in Nunavut rose to a whopping $641,831 in the 2019–20 fiscal year,
Savikataaq said on Oct. 21. That figure is more than
$100,000 greater than the av-erage per-unit construction cost for the previous year, 2018–19.
“Back in 2017–18, the av-erage cost per unit was $481,000; in 2018–19, the av-erage cost went to $533,689; and in 2019–20, the average cost went up to $641,831,” Savikataaq said in response to a question from Iqaluit–Mani-rajak MLA Adam Lightstone.
“It’s a bit shocking, see-ing an average cost increase of over $100,000 in one year alone. That is very signifi-cant,” Lightstone replied.
To figure out why that’s happening, the housing corpo-ration, through a request for proposals issued earlier this year, has hired a consultant to review housing construction costs, Savikataaq said.
The firm, whose work has been hampered by the COVID-19 pandemic, is ex-pected to submit a report be-fore the current legislative assembly dissolves for the next territorial election in the fall of 2021.

Nunavut’s MLAs voted on Friday, Oct. 23, to remove Patterk Netser from cabinet.
“I didn’t take any pleasure from doing this,” said Premier Joe Savikataaq, who brought forward the motion to remove the MLA for Aivilik.
“But it’s a decision that had to be made.”
The move comes after Netser made a social media post earlier this month about the Black Lives Matter move-ment and abortion that Savikataaq called “unaccept-able.”
A majority of members, 14, voted in favour of the mo-tion. Three voted against it—Netser, Netsilik MLA
Emiliano Qirngnuq, and Gjoa Haven MLA Tony Akoak.
David Qamaniq, MLA for Tununiq, abstained from voting.
Elisapee Sheutiapik, MLA for Iqaluit–Sinaa, and Cathy Towtongie, MLA for Rankin Inlet North–Chesterfield Inlet, are not present at this sitting for medical reasons.
Adverse weather pre-vented Margaret Nakashuk, MLA for Pangnirtung, from attending the sitting last week.
Paul Quassa, Speaker of the House, said that Nakashuk was supposed to fly to Iqaluit that weekend. Members were waiting for Nakashuk to arrive before holding a leadership forum to vote a member into cabinet to take Netser’s position,
Quassa said. Netser was the minister
responsible for the Nunavut Housing Corp. and Nunavut Arctic College. These portfo-lios have been temporarily assigned to Savikataaq and David Joanasie, respectively.
Adam Lightstone, mem-ber for Iqaluit–Manirajak, sec-onded Savikataaq’s motion.
“The member should have known better,” Light-stone said of Netser while de-bating the motion.
“The comments made were unbefitting for an elected official, let alone a cabinet member.”
However, Netser contin-ued to defend himself. He rose in the legislature to make a point of order while Savikataaq brought his motion forward, saying, “I never raised any is-
sues on ethnic groups.” “I spoke out on behalf of
unborn babies across Canada that have been aborted, and I had no intention of saying any racial remarks towards any ethnic group.”
Since he was stripped of his cabinet positions on Oct. 8, Netser has continually said that he has a right to freedom of speech.
“Freedom of expression does not equal freedom from consequence,” Lightstone said in response to that. “The fact that the minister is still defending his position leads me to believe that there is no remorse for his actions.”
Jeannie Ehaloak, member for Cambridge Bay, rose to say that Nunavummiut have the right to receive services from their government with-
out fear of discrimination. “When a cabinet minister
makes these types of state-ments, it can bring into ques-tion the impartiality of the government with respect to delivery of services,” she said.
Qirngnuq was the only member who voted against the motion to address it in the house.
In Inuktitut, he said he’s not comfortable with the mo-tion because the note Netser wrote that caused offence wasn’t written in the house.
“We have to think that the constituents are the ones who got us to this house,” he said.
Netser will continue to represent his riding of Aivilik as a regular member.
The leadership forum will take place on Friday, Oct. 30, at 3 p.m.

Nunavut MLAs remove Patterk Netser from cabinet

The hamlet of Pond Inlet has a new system to draw drink-ing water from its reservoir, after nearly a year of creative fixes to pump, treat and de-liver water.
“It’s in pretty good shape,” said David Stockley, the senior administrative of-ficer of the hamlet. “We’re going in the right direction.”
At the end of September, an engineer from the Depart-ment of Community and Government Services worked with contractors and a dive team to replace the water-intake pipe at the reservoir.
Now, an intake pipe floats on a dock on the sur-face of the water and draws
water to the pumphouse, where the water is treated. Water can be pumped into trucks from there.
The original underwater intake pipe stopped working last November.
That meant that workers had to drive water trucks onto the frozen reservoir, drill a hole in the ice, and pump water into the trucks. Workers would then climb on top of the trucks and add chlorine to the water.
Then they would drive back to the garage, climb on the trucks again, and test the water to make sure it was good after “everything was shaken up and that sort of thing,” Stockley said.
In the summer, water was pumped directly from the reservoir to the trucks, and then treated in the
trucks. According to Kyle Seeley,
the acting assistant deputy minister of local government for the Department of Com-munity and Government Ser-vices, it’s unclear why the underwater intake pipe stopped working.
The dive team at hand during the repair tried to fig-ure out what went wrong, using cameras to look down the pipe, Seeley said.
The malfunctioning pipe was underwater and buried. Sediment clouded the water when the divers moved the pipe.
“There’s a point where additional investigation is going to cause additional challenge, right?” Seeley said.
Stockley said that the
government has promised the hamlet an entirely new water system by 2022.
“It’ll be a little higher tech than what’s there now as far as chlorination and every-thing,” he said.
From his understanding, there will also be a “couple more” communities that will get the same system.
“Unfortunately water systems have been put on the back burner and now it’s a rush job to get these stations in half-decent shape, back to where they should be,” he said.
Whale Cove’s water treatment system is particu-larly bad. It, along with seven other communities, is slated to have new water systems in place by 2023.
Almost a year on, Pond Inlet’s water system is working NUNAVUT ᓄᓇᕗᑦ NEWS

Thanks to Mary Powder of CBC North, Inuit-language speakers throughout Canada are in for a big treat: a digital tour through Inuit oral culture.
They’re now able to gain on-demand access to CBC’s huge trove of priceless Inuit-language audio recordings, through a new podcast that launched last week, called Inuit Unikkaangit.
Inuit Unikkaangit draws upon the thousands of hours of Inuit-language stories, conversations and interviews that CBC has recorded over
the past 60 years, but which have been mostly buried in-side the corporation’s archives for years.
Those include numerous audio recordings from Sin-naksautit, the long-running late-evening radio show on CBC Nunavut that presents stories told by elders.
Podcasts, for those unfa-miliar with them, are serial spoken-word programs that you can subscribe to on your smartphone, tablet or laptop.
CBC North’s first podcast
Although innovative private
organizations like Yel-lowknife’s Cabin Radio have produced podcasts in the North for some time now, this is the first to come out of CBC North.
And unlike traditional radio, you don’t have to watch the clock to make sure you catch the show at the right time, because podcasts are available on demand.
“You can listen to these stories anytime, anywhere,” Powder said.
Powder writes and pre-sents the series in Inuktitut with production support from Peter Sheldon of CBC Yellowknife. CBC Iqaluit’s station manager Pat Nagle and Betty Harnum, the mul-tilingual former languages commissioner of the North-
west Territories, offer editor-ial guidance.
In many episodes, Pow-der plays a story for a relative of the storyteller so they can have a discussion about it.
First episode features Simonie Alainga
The first episode will be a special one for many Iqaluit residents, because it features a story, first recorded in Jan-uary 1993, told by the much-revered Iqaluit elder, the late Simonie Alainga.
In it, Alainga talks about the legendary little people, tiny human beings who still live on the land, as well as the shadow people, also known as tariaksui.
Powder plays that story for Simonie’s son, Pitseolak
Alainga, who talks about how his father did most of his teaching and storytelling on the land.
“His story is so clear and so concise. The audio is awe-some and the story is like, wow, because there’s a lot of people know about this, the little people and the shadow people, across the circumpo-lar North. I wanted to share that,” Powder said.
“If they’re in Greenland or somewhere, and they’re listening to it, I’m sure they can relate to it.”
In the second episode, the late Nauya Tassugat talks about getting his dog team ready and the importance of helping others, while his daughter, Rebecca Panikpa, talks about how she remem-
bers the caribou and sealskin clothes she wore as a girl that came from animals her father hunted.
The third episode fea-tures an unknown man who tells a story about how to in-terpret the wind. In that one, Powder asks listeners if they can help her find the name of the storyteller.
Later episodes will fea-ture stories from people like the late Isaki Padlayat of Nunavik and the late Stephen Kootoo of Iqaluit.
“I would like to get more stories regionally, from Ki-valliq, Kitikmeot later on,” Powder said.
“I kind of visualized it be-fore I started it. I was trying to imagine you’re travelling

internationally for circumpo-lar meetings or something, and maybe they share stories. I was imagining Inuit Unikkaangit being played and they would talk about it,” Powder said.
Powder is originally from Grise Fiord but now lives in Yellowknife, where she works as a CBC archivist, digitizing Inuktitut audio recordings.
So when CBC sent her to Regina to take what she calls a “crash course” as part of that job, she came up with the idea.
“One of the topics that came up was podcasts,” she said.
Inuit Unikkaangit was originally supposed to have launched this past May, but it was delayed until this month because of COVID-19.
Right now, they’re start-ing with eight episodes, but Powder hopes to do many more.
“I do hope that in the fu-
ture that there is a continua-tion, because you know as well as I do that these stories have been shared amongst Inuit themselves,” she said.
To that end, one of her motives is to expose these stories to young people, so they can understand the dif-ference between today’s modern society and the past.
There are many ways you can get the podcast.
If you’re using a smart-phone or a tablet, you can download the CBC Listen app for either the Android or iOS operating system. When you open the app, just go to the CBC Podcast menu and enter Inuit Unikkaangit into the search field.
You can also use your web browser to go to CBC Listen, and then CBC Pod-casts, where you will find Inuit Unikkaangit.
And if you’re using iTunes, go to the podcast area, search for Inuit Unikkaangit and then sub-scribe to it.

Why should you avoid privategatherings?
We need to react now.
Avoiding getting together with family and friends limits contact and curbs the spread
of the virus.
Dustin Patar
After more than two years of development, Iqaluit’s Uqu-utaq Society officially opened its new space during a cere-mony on Thursday, Oct. 22.
The buildings, 1077 and 1079, will house a 60-bed shel-ter and transitional home, 11 rental units, as well as offices and a programming space.
“This was not only a dream, but it was a neces-sity,” said former Iqaluit mayor Madeleine Redfern as she addressed the two dozen or so individuals who had gathered to celebrate the opening.
“Those who’ve ever vis-ited the Uquutaq shelter in Lower Base—a four-bedroom unit that has 28 beds and men who were sleeping on the floor, on the chairs, on the couches, in the living room [and] in the hallway—knew that we needed this facility.”
In 2018, over 170 individ-uals used the shelter, which
had two bathrooms and one shower.
Thursday’s event marked the end of a two-and-a-half-year process that began early in 2018 when the Uquutaq Society, then chaired by cur-rent Deputy Mayor Janet Brewster, had identified the buildings and had secured a letter of support from the Qikiqtani Inuit Association.
In 2019, the society’s ap-plication for the $6.5-million project was approved by the Canada Mortgage and Hous-ing Corporation under the National Housing Co-Invest-ment Fund.
As part of her opening re-marks, Stephanie Clark, the outgoing chair of the Uquu-taq Society’s board of direc-tors, thanked a long list of people and groups.
Clark also singled out Redfern “for all her efforts in successfully chasing down funding leads at every turn.”
“At every single turn.
Everywhere,” emphasized Clark.
Unlike Uquutaq’s previ-ous building, the new facility will split its bed capacity.
Thirty beds will be desig-nated for the shelter, which is located on the main floor of Building 1077, and 30 beds will be designated for the transitional housing program on the second floor.
“The vision for this space over here was to give the men who are living in our shelter the opportunity to move into affordable housing and hopefully into home-ownership at some point,” said Brewster.
For Brewster, addressing the issue of homelessness is personal.
Reflecting on her experi-ence living in a shelter in Ot-tawa with her two oldest children, Brewster recalls that the idea of once again being housed seemed impossible.
“It’s not impossible. It’s something that with the sup-port of the community and support of funders that it can happen and today I feel re-
ally happy for the men who will be transitioning out of the shelter and into the tran-sitional units and then hope-fully into affordable living.”
Although the new pro-gram is intended to help res-idents transition away from using overnight shelter space, it does also mean that the availability of overnight
beds will be more limited than it was in the past.
For health and safety rea-sons, the new shelter will be limited to 30 guests per night.
This shift will create a need for more beds else-where in Iqaluit, and beyond.
“This only addresses a tiny, tiny need. It’s only, un-fortunately, approximately 60
men in this community, we know the numbers are signif-icantly higher,” said Redfern.
“I strongly recommend that the same people in the same organizations that worked so hard to make this facility a reality can work on building similar facilities or acquiring them in other places.”
“This was not only a dream, but it was a necessity”

The kitchen area inside building 1079 is part of a flexible programming space, which includes a room divider that allows the space to suit a variety of needs.
Building 1077, one of two new buildings opened by the Uquutaq Society last week, will house a 30-bed transitional housing program on the second floor and a 30-bed shelter on the first floor.
Former Iqaluit mayor Madeleine Redfern (left), current Deputy Mayor Janet Brewster (right) and Stephanie Clark, the outgoing chair of the Uquutaq Society’s board of directors (centre), officially marked the opening of the society’s two new buildings by cutting a ribbon. (Photos by Dustin Patar)
