Program Land Claim Overview The Nunavut Land Claims Agreement, ratified by the Inuit in November of 1992, signed by the Prime Minister of Canada on May 25, 1993, and passed through the Canadian Parliament in June of the same year, is the largest native land claim settlement in Canadian history. Click here to view or download an Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) version of the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement. In providing title to the Nunavut Inuit of 350,000 square kilometres of land in the eastern Arctic, the agreement establishes clear rules of ownership and control over land and resources in the new Territory (which has an area of approximately two million square kilometers, or one-fifth of Canada's landmass). The future for these elementary school children in Iqaluit, and children throughout Nunavut, looks much brighter following the settlement of the Nunavut Land Claim.

The northernmost community of Canada, Grise Fiord is located in the High Arctic on Ellesmere Island. Picturesque and remote, it is surrounded by high hills and, for most of the year, sea ice. Grise Fiord is a stopover for researchers traveling either to Ellesmere Island or to Axel Heiberg Island. The town is located on a narrow strip of land between the ocean and 2000 ft cliffs. There are approximately 160 residents, most of whom are Inuit.

Building Nunavut: A Story of Inuit SelfGovernment The Northern Review #1 (Summer 1988):59-72.) by Peter Jull [Jull Opus Main Page] nunavut The aboriginal organisations funded by Ottawa have changed the character of the north and of Canada. In the NWT they were the first aboriginal public bodies which could tackle territorywide and national issues. In spite of, or perhaps because of, territorial government hostility, they became rallying points for aboriginal opinion. And while the territorial governments excluded aboriginal employees form policy or management levels, despite many directives insisting on greater aboriginal hiring, the organisations provided them work and great opportunities for social and political action. Very quickly Ottawa recognised de facto that NWT politics, opinion and political legitimacy were divided between the legislature and the aboriginal associations. Great care was taken to balance these interests, and Ottawa through the Trudeau and Clark government years played a role of active neutrality: its goal was to secure a social, economic and political development in the north which would provide equality between aboriginal northerners and the newer arrival. In particular, Ottawa resisted territorialgovernment attempts to secure devolution of powers and budgets, seeing clearly that these would consolidate the position of, and otherwise benefit, the whites while largely leaving aboriginal northerners aside. The NWT government is something of a marvel. Its history deserves to be written and written carefully before it all, soon one expects, passes into the past. Essentially it is the greatest Canadian monument to progressive programming for an underdeveloped area, and the boldest attempt at total government ever seen in this country. It was the designed to respond humanely to the poverty and isolation Canadians saw in the north, and to deliver southern standards of living conditions to the most remote icebound hamlets. It cut corners to upgrade living standards quickly, and the main corner cut was the viewpoint of the aboriginal residents. This administration concentrated expertise to solve northern problems, to bring the good things from the south to the north. It was a directed effort, and was specifically designed to

The Creation of Nunavut [ Page 2 of 3 David Morrison Canadian Museum of Civilization The Whalers In the 1850s, Europeans and Americans began to appreciate the commercial value of the Arctic's animal resources. The North Atlantic commercial whaling industry, operating out of Britain and New England, began large-scale operations in what are now Canadian waters, where they killed thousands of whales. They hired hundreds of Inuit to work on their ships as hunters and seamstresses. A huge range and quantity of manufactured goods entered Inuit society, everything from rifles and tent canvas to whale boats and flour. At the same time, the Pacific whalers, based in San Francisco, were expanding north through Bering Strait and then east along the Alaskan coast to the Mackenzie River. By 1890, they were well established at Herschel Island. Because of the much longer distances involved, the Pacific whalers routinely stayed over for the winter. The crews of up to 15 ships in a season became involved in local Inuit life.
