The Canadian Women's Foundation has released a report on the impact resource extraction is having on Inuit women and their families in the Qamani'tuaq region of Nunavut.
Since 2012, Arviat youth have been involved in celebrating Global Dignity Day.
Global Dignity (http://globaldignity.org) is an independent, non-political organization focused on empowering individuals with the concept that every human being has the universal right to lead a dignified life.
A group of forty people travelled out on the land to Ivisaaruqtuuq for a traditional women's camp to learn traditional skills and make friends. We stayed twelve days, learned many new things, and made lots of friends. This is a slideshow that shows the photo highlights from the trip.
This is a very interesting discussion and meeting between Inuit women, filmmakers from Igloolik, and Indigenous women from Thlahuitoltepec, also involved in videomaking. They share experiences, cultural values and teach other about their recent history. Also present are non indigenous activists from Canada and Mexico.
Following on from IASCs 2020 Statement on Tackling Racism and Systemic Bias, acknowledging that Arctic science still suffers from systemic bias that marginalizes and excludes people who are Black, Indigenous, or from other under-represented minorities in the Arctic region and around the world, this panel session aims to discuss these issues facing our community, and also some practical solution… Read more

Yesterday we wrapped the shooting of The Journals of Knud
Rasmussen. Cast and crew have returned to Igloolik, though some people have
stayed behind to begin the long task of dismantling the Siuraajuk base camp.
So the SILA crew is back after three days of no Internet!
Maybe it was a shift in the magnetic pole or a sunspot, but our local
connection has been down for the last 72 hours.
Today, the cast and crew have a much deserved day off!
While there is no action on the set, today SILA gives you a quick tour of
Igloolik, the location where we are shooting The Journals of Knud Rasmussen.
Finally! The day before shooting starts on Isuma's new
film The Journals of Knud Rasmussen. We're the same team that made the
award-winning feature film Atanarjuat The Fast Runner, but this time we are
collaborating with an international cast and crew.
My traveling baby Hector and I left the filming camp at
Siuraarjuk late last week. A two-day break was called for cast and crew, so we
prepped ourselves for another qamutiq ride back across the sea ice to Igloolik.

The Nattilik Heritage Center in Gjoa Haven, Nunavut was opened to the public on October 17, 2013. Uqhuqtuurmiut celebrated the opening together with visiting guests from out of town. The center houses historical artifacts and showcases art from the community.

And yet, just over a century ago, Herschel was a frontier boom-town, labelled “The Sodom of the Arctic”.… Read more
