Extractions: The Right Honourable Brian Mulroney, P.C., M.P. Prime Minister of Canada House of Commons, Ottawa K1A OA2 Dear Mr. Mulroney: We are writing to you in relation to your overall responsibility for constitutional development in Canada In keeping with his more particular responsibilities for aboriginal peoples and the northern territories, we are sending a copy of this letter directly to your colleague, Mr. Siddon. As you are aware, and in keeping with both your television address this summer to the Canadian people and your September 25, 1990 speech to the House of Commons, the Agreement-in-Principle between the Inuit of the Nunavut Settlement Area and Her Majesty in the Right of Canada represents a major step forward in the fulfilment of your government's comprehensive land claims agenda, and tangible recognition of how the rights of aboriginal peoples for self-government within Canada may be achieved within the context of public government. An exciting step forward in the agendas of both Inuit and government will be the realization of Article 4 of the Agreement-in-Principle. Article 4 of the Agreement re-states the support in principle of the Government of Canada, the Government of the Northwest Territories, and the Tungavik Federation of Nunavut for the "creation of a Nunavut Territory, and the financing of a Nunavut government outside the claims agreement, as soon as possible". This article also commits the Government of the Northwest Territories and the Tungavik Federation of Nunavut to develop a process to give effect to this agreed objective.

Extractions: Postscript: Nunavut and the TFN Settlement Ron Doering While the federal policy has attempted to deal with them as separate issues, calls for a Nunavut territory and the Inuit land claim in the eastern Arctic have always been intricately intertwined. From the outset, the Inuit have maintained that Nunavut is, as Bob Kadlun has said, "the core demand on the Inuit agenda, with the claim as one means of obtaining it". However, at certain times emphasis has been placed on claims issues; at others, more progress has been made in political development. As circumstances have shifted, the positions of the federal and territorial governments have not always been clear. The recent joint letter from the GNWT and TFN to the Prime Minister said that the agreement-in-principle is "unlikely" to receive ratification in the North unless Nunavut is guaranteed. While the letter was a useful goad to the feds, both the GNWT and TFN backed away from an unequivocal statement that, without Nunavut, there will be no settlement. There is little or no support for Nunavut in the Mackenzie Valley, and the support of the territorial government may be more shallow than their public position indicates. The Government of Canada would be happy to have the claim settled without Nunavut. Only TFN can require it. Nor does the wording of Article 4 of the agreement-in-principle do anything to clarify the situation. It is interesting to contrast the vague wording of Article 4 (the Nunavut section) with the very precise and final wording of Article 2, part 8 (with the ironic heading of Certainty") in which the Inuit consent in the final agreement to extinguish their aboriginal title forever.

http://abcnews.go.com/sections/world/DailyNews/nunavutsocialissues990402.html

Extractions: Canada solved an outstanding land claim by its aboriginals by creating Nunavut to give the Inuit a chance at self-government. As big as Western Europe, it was formed out of the eastern and central portions of the Northwest Territories. Eighty-five percent of its 25,000 people are Inuit. A Litany of Social Ills The new territory is also facing a population explosion. More than half its residents are under the age of 25, and the population is growing at 3.1 percent a year, nearly triple the national rate. Some 40 percent of the population over the age of 15 have no schooling past the ninth grade, and only six percent have a university degree.

Extractions: The eastern Arctic region became a territory this week, newly self-governed by its largely Inuit population. Its creation represents perhaps the most daring step any nation has ever taken to satisfy the political and geographical claims of its aboriginal people. But it has immense tasks ahead of it, and more than a few stumbling blocks.

Extractions: On April 1st, 1999, the map of Canada changed for the first time in 50 years with the creation of Nunavut Territory. The Northwest Territories was split and approximately 2 million square kilometers of the central and eastern arctic became 'Nunavut'. Government: Nunavut is comprised of 19 electoral districts , each electing an MLA to represent their interests. It is not a party system as we have in most of Canada, but a consensus type of government, where everyone works to agree on issues. The Legislative Assembly, Cabinet and a territorial court are the primary institutions of the government. The working government of Nunavut will be decentralized throughout the territory, and will gradually assume duties from the Government of the NWT over a 16 year period from 1993 to 2009. The official working language of Nunavut is Inuktitut and the official capital is Iqaluit (pop. 5,800) located on Baffin Island.

http://eatthestate.org/03-28/WelcometoNunavut.htm

Extractions: On April 1, 1999, Nunavut Territory, Canada, exists. Carved out of the eastern half of the Northwest Territories, Nunavut will in many ways be controlled by its majority population, the native Inuit. The population of Nunavut, some 24,665 people, are spread over 818,745 square miles, one fifth of Canada's land mass. The enormity of the Northwest Territories as a whole, and the sparseness of its population, contributed to the creation of the new territory. In 1966, a government commission called for dividing the Northwest Territories (NWT) into two smaller and more manageable regions. In 1982, a majority of the people of the territory voted to divide into two separate territories.. Earlier, in 1976, the Inuit of Canada first called for the creation of Nunavut ("Our Land" in Inukitut). They negotiated a land claim settlement with the Canadian government. The Inuit approved the final agreement in 1992, and the government passed it in 1993. Called one of the most innovative of Canada's modern aboriginal treaties, the land claims settlement led directly to the creation of the new territory. The agreement calls for the institution of the new territory to take place over 16 years, 1993 to 2009. Services and structures have, over the last six years, been transferred to the new Nunavut government. This year, the elected government of Nunavut begins to assume authority from the central government of the NWT. By 2009, the Nunavut government will operate all the mechanics of territorial government.

Extractions: by Murray Lundberg Dateline: 03/31/99 On April 1, 1999, one of the most significant events in Northern history will be celebrated in Inuit communities throughout the eastern Arctic of Canada, when the territory of Nunavut officially takes its place in the political scene. (April 1 update: the new flag and coat of arms have been unveiled). The culmination of generations of work , this event is being scrutinized by politicians, economists, natural resource managers, and indigenous people around the world. Will it become a model for other jurisdictions to follow, or will it point out the error of "cultural politics" as compared to economics? While support for Nunavut is virtually unanimous around the world, only time will tell whether it will be a practical solution to long-standing grievances. Nunavut was created by the Nunavut Act , which was assented to on the 10th of June, 1993. One of the features of Nunavut government that incorporates Inuit cultural values is the Nunavut Court of Justice , which has only one level, so judges hear criminal, family and civil cases.

Nunavut is a vast territory - larger than Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Quebec combined-that contains one fifth of Canada's land (2,254,402 sq km). This is the first major change to the map of Canada since Newfoundland joined Canada 50 years ago, in 1949. Inuit, as the majority population of Nunavut, are shaping the territorial government in keeping with their culture, traditions and aspirations. Inuktitut is a working language of the government, though government services are also available in English and French. The government intends to incorporate the best of traditional Inuit and contemporary government systems. The Government of Nunavut is elected by all residents of the territory regardless of their origin.

Extractions: Nunavut Communities, 1999 » Nunavut Communities, 1999 - Home Nunavut is the new territory in Canada as of April 1, 1999. Our community of Pond Inlet is becoming a regional centre for some of the government departments. To us, the students in grades seven, eight and nine at Takijualuk School, the Nunavut government means that someone from our community sits in the new legislature to speak about the concerns of our community. The new legislature will be made up of mostly Inuit people. These elected people will make sure that the Inuktitut language and Inuit traditions such as hunting and sewing are still learned in the future and that new opportunities are started too. We hope that in its first ten years, our new government will make sure that we have more houses, good school buildings, more recreational facilities like a swimming pool and a heated arena, more services, such as a larger health centre, a permanent doctor in town, a larger airport terminal and longer runway, jet connections and more TV and radio stations. We also hope for more businesses like a taxi service, a bigger hotel with an elevator and a bigger mall with more stores, an arcade and new jobs. More people will have an education and go to college and university but we will still believe in the Inuit culture. More people will be living in Pond Inlet so there will be more cars, vans and trucks. We hope that the new government will help us have more tourists who bring in money, and we hope the prices of shipping and travel come down.

Extractions: January 17, 2002 I am pleased to be here today speaking to Senior officials of the Nunavut Government. I am originally from Kuujjuaq and am now living here in Iqaluit. Presently I am the President of ICC Canada. My background is that I was born in Kuujjuaq and lived a traditional life , travelling only by dog team, the first ten years of my life. Then I was sent off to school at the age of ten and spent 3 years in Nova Scotia, 3 years in Churchill Manitoba, and 3 years Ottawa. My professional life has been mainly in the area of education: counselling, addictions counselling and human development. I worked for the Kativik School Board for ten years and then became the Inuk advisor to the Nunavik Educational Task Force which came out with sweeping recommendations for change in our education system. In 1995 I entered into politics and was elected to both the Makivik Corporation Executive and the ICC Council for Canada in the same year. I have held the ICC position since then which in 1998 became a full time Presidency for Canada. My term will end in the upcoming summer.

http://www.imagesoft.net/canada/nunavut.html

Extractions: Nunavut In the Inuit language of Inuktitut, Nunavut means "Our Land". It is the name given to the ancestral home of the Inuit of the central and eastern Arctic, and on April 1, 1999 it became the Territory of Nunavut in Canada's Eastern Arctic. Though the creation of the Territory of Nunavut is a new chapter in Canada's confederation, the story of Nunavut and the Inuit who make their lives there is an ancient one, going back over thousands of years of continuous habitation. The creation of the Territory of Nunavut and the finalisation of the historic land claim settlement, between the Nunavut Inuit and the Government of Canada, adds a new dimension to the evolving history of both Nunavut and Canada. In 1993, legislation was passed to establish a new northern territory called Nunavut, which will consist of the eastern part of the present Northwest Territories. Nunavut came into being on or before April 1, 1999. The Nunavut Implementation Committee has announced that a flag for the territory has been chosen and approved by HM The Queen. The design will be kept secret until the day the new territory is created. In a related move the Northwest Territories' government has announced that it is to have a new flag to mark the change in its borders.
