The exhibit went on display in September at the gallery inside the Canadian embassy in Tokyo. Pelly, along with Gwen Ohokak, a member of the Kitikmeot Heritage Society, were on hand to talk to visitors about the art and answer questions about Nunavut. "The response to the exhibit in Japan has been very enthusiastic," Pelly said in an interview from his home in Cambridge Bay. "The Arctic is the hook, of course."

"Even in my own community, you wouldn't even say 'hello' in your language," says Key, who lives on the reserve near Brantford, Ont. The situation has changed, and the reserve has an aboriginal-language immersion program in its schools. It also has a radio station that broadcasts in First Nations languages. It is because of this embarrassment, bred by the old residential schools, that First Nations groups are fighting to get their languages recognized in the constitution. "Without a language, you have no culture," says Mary Jane Jim, vice-chief for Yukon, who handles the language portfolio for the Assembly of First Nations. "First Nations culture has been oppressed for long enough ... and it's time that there is recognition for that culture."

Rick Selleck was hired for his expertise in designing and deploying systems for conducting interactive video communications with people in the Canadian Arctic. He's implementing the technology where temperatures drop as low as 40 below zero and, in some years, the lakes never thaw, the ocean remains covered in ice and the earth just below the surface stays frozen. After living in the Arctic and acting as communications manager for five North Pole expeditions, he's learned how to survive in some of the world's toughest conditions while discovering that video communications can play a critical role in the lives of the people who live in the Arctic.

Within each community, every building can connect to the satellite dish using a broadband wireless system. The Government of Canada is contributing close to $12 million in support of the QINIQ network. Through the National Satellite Initiative (NSI), the Government of Canada is contributing $ 7.83 million over 8 years, from the Canada Strategic Infrastructure Fund, to help defray the costs of satellite delivered connections. The goal of the NSI is to make available affordable satellite capacity for broadband services in communities in the far to mid-North, and in isolated and remote areas of Canada, where satellite technology is the only practical solution. This is the first NSI project to receive funding under the Canada Strategic Infrastructure Fund. The Government of Canada has also contributed $3,884,850 for the QINIQ network through the Broadband for Rural and Northern Development Pilot Program (BRAND). This has meant helping 25 communities across Nunavut to develop business plans and build satellite receiving stations. This program was created to help provide high speed Internet access to northern, rural and First Nations communities. It has been successful in engaging partners across the country through a community driven approach and will be providing service to more than 880 communities.

The major difference between a Canadian province and a Canadian territory is that a province is a creation of the Constitution Act (17 April 1982), while a territory is created by federal law. Thus, the federal government has more direct control over the territories, while provincial governments have many more competences and rights.

Review home next story previous story HSPH home I n terms of public health, the new Canadian territory of Nunavut has more in common with the developing world than the industrialized nation of which it's a part, according to Dr. Konia Trouton, M.P.H.'94. "Almost every health or illness indicator that you would look at is the worst in Canada," she says of the region, which was formally established a little over a year ago. "We've got two times the infant mortality rate. We've got the worst smoking rate in the countryabout 65 percent of the general population smokes and about 60 percent of the population of children up to the age of 16 start smoking by age six. Our suicide rate is about ten times the national average." In addition, she notes, Nunavut has the highest tuberculosis rate in Canada and is overrun with sexually transmitted diseases like chlamydia and gonorrhea. Consequently, in her role as director of population health for Nunavut's new government, Trouton has been faced with some formidable tasks in her quest to improve the health of its residents. "To choose where to start is very challenging," she remarks. "Almost any direction you try and start up a program, there's a glaring need." Reporting to the deputy minister of health for Nunavut, Trouton coordinates preventative health programs and services for this vast territory of just 24,730 people. She is directly responsible for ten staff members in administrative roles and indirectly supervises another 400 field workers assigned to Nunavut's 27 communities, none of which are accessible by road. She also serves as a liaison to the various organizations and committees that address health issues.

The city's alive with the anything's-possible attitude of a young community. Bursting with new growth, exciting economic and social opportunities, this bustling Arctic capital is home to a diverse mix of people enjoying the leading edge of development and phenomenal potential. Young and old are working to create a future that will preserve the strengths of traditional culture, while embracing the surging changes of the 21st century. Even though it's located on the remote Arctic tundra, Iqaluit aims to be every inch a capital city, with the amenities and quality of life to rival any in Canada. Iqaluit's economy-based mainly on a government that has expanded rapidly since the city became the capital of Nunavut in 1999-is growing by leaps and bounds. The city's infrastructure is developing at a steady clip, trying to catch up with population growth. As well as being Canada's newest and most northerly capital, Iqaluit is also Canada's fastest growing community. Mission Statement Working together with our citizens, we will create a sustainable and environmentally responsible Arctic capital. By respecting our rich historical and cultural heritage, we will succeed in forging a community government that empowers our citizens to participate in positive community development.
