The Kivalliq Trade Show is gearing up for its 2023 show, scheduled for late September, and is seeking applications for the art market and fashion show.

It will be the 14th annual Kivalliq Trade Show in Rankin Inlet. Artists will have the opportunity to display and sell their creation during a two-day art market, while the fashion show will take place the evening of the opening day Tuesday, Sept. 26.

The art market committee and entertainment committee will select and sponsor 12 artists from Kivalliq communities and up to four Rankin Inlet artists to participate in both the art market and workshop.

The trade show offers return airfare to Rankin Inlet from Kivalliq communities for the event for people chosen, as well as accommodation in billeted homes and ground transportation.

KIA transfers funds

Kivalliq

The Kivalliq Inuit Association announced the transfer of more than $82 million of its legacy fund to a different account from its operating account.

KIA receives money from mining royalties, quarry permits, water use fees, Sakku Investments, Inuit impact beneficiary agreements and other ventures, the total of which is owned by Inuit beneficiaries of the Kivalliq region.

The latest calculations, says KIA, conclude that there is approximately $112 million in its account.

The KIA finance committee informed the KIA board and membership that legacy fund monies were successfully separated from KIA’s operating bank account to a separate account owned by KIA in late May.

A total of $82,216,176 was moved from the operating account.

“This money is not being spent,” wrote the KIA press release. “This money needed to be separated from the operating monies to further the implementation of By-Law #2 and fulfill its benefits to Beneficiaries of the Kivalliq Region at a future date.”

Holly Mercer loves volleyball.

She even met her husband, Robert Kabvitok, through the sport.

So when the Rankin Inlet athlete was struggling with the demands of parenting, she knew there was one outlet she could rely on.

“Volleyball was my only thing that I could forget about everything at home,” she said. “It really helped me keep my sanity.”

She and Kabvitok have been teaching girls’ volleyball for years now, as well as being involved in other sports in the community. As time went on, she found there was more to coaching than the physical skills.

“At first we were just coaching the sport, and then by year three we started to really realize mental health is needed in sports too and it would help them throughout life,” said Mercer.

Youth have to go to school, she said, but playing sport is something they choose to do. It’s a venue where she can challenge youth, celebrate their achievements and help them develop not just as athletes, but as people.

Overcoming fears in sport can help one overcome fears in other pursuits in life, said Mercer, as well as building resilient people with an openness to trying new things.

“That’s one of the most rewarding things is not only watching them grow in the sport but grow as people,” she said.

And if a player is making mistakes on the court and becoming scared of having the ball come their way, Mercer encourages them to learn from the last play but forget about it quickly and to want the ball to come to them.

“You have to learn to forget about your mistake and learn from it,” she said about coaching. “That’s the only way you can change it to a positive.”

Part of that is showing the players that the coaches aren’t perfect either, she added, and that they are always open to suggestions as well.

Mercer said the pandemic presented a big challenge for youth in sports, many of whom turned to games or TV.

“That really hurts,” said Mercer, thinking about youth who haven’t returned to sports, which provide such a great outlet for young people.

She was glad to see the Coaching Association of Canada launch a mental health and sport resource hub earlier this year to equip coaches with the tools and information to help them learn how to integrate positive mental health practices

Volleyball coach Holly Mercer credits the game with saving her own mental health. Now, she hopes to bolster youth’s confidence through coaching.

Stewart

into their sport and further support their local communities. The hub includes resources available in Inuktitut, Dene, and Cree in addition to six other languages.

“I’m just really happy,” said Mercer, adding northerners are often left out of such initiatives.

“We have enough problems here with the amount of suicide. Nobody in Nunavut who lives here hasn’t been touched by suicide. I think if we can get the kids and adults into sports and talking to them and letting them learn that mistakes are okay, if we try to start young and let them learn that, we’d be better off.”

Youth’s experiences are teacher’s dreams

Ashley Tulugak proud to provide hairstyling students with new opportunities

By Stewart Burnett Northern News Services Local Journalism Initiative Rankin Inlet

Through hairstyling and providing students opportunities to pursue their passions, Ashley Tulugak is fulfilling a commitment she made to herself in high school.

“Growing up here, we’re very limited with extracurricular activities,” said Tulugak, a teacher in Rankin Inlet. “When I moved here in junior high, I had gotten bullied, and the things that helped me overcome bullying were getting involved in extracurricular activities and travel opportunities.”

So when she graduated, she headed south, opened a hair salon and earned a teaching degree.

“That was always a part of my plan,” she

said about getting the real-world experience of running a salon before heading back to Nunavut.

Last year, she started a hairstyling. Club through Skills Nunavut, where she offered lessons after school and on weekends. She also taught a cosmetology course at the high school for four months. She continued the hairstyling classes this year as an extracurricular activity for students.

Four of those students, all aged 12-14, joined her to Iqaluit this spring for the territorial Skills Nunavut competition.

Kyrene Angootealuk finished first in hairstyling, with Agalakti-Aiolah Ittinuar Irkootee coming third. Sophia Johnston came second in the skills demonstration. Due to their young ages, none of them competed at the Nationals in Winnipeg, but they did get to participate in the Soaring Skills program, where they had the

opportunity to observe the skills competition and join in other team-building and skill-developing activities.

Seeing the youth take it all in was a great experience, said Tulugak, and aligned with her own dreams.

“We often have to be very creative and resourceful because of where we live,” she said. “I thought if I could offer some unique skillsets (to students), you just never know who would be interested and what they could do with that.”

The journey within the system hasn’t always been easy, she added, but Tulugak was thankful for Skills Nunavut’s support with materials and other opportunities. She said it would be amazing if some of her students would be recognized as qualified hairstylists by the time they graduate high school.

“I’m pretty excited about where things could go,” she said.

National Indigenous Peoples Day staple in Rankin Inlet

RCMP and Kissarvik Co-op combine forces to show their appreciation for the aboriginal community

By Darrell Greer Northern News Services

The enticing aroma of hamburgers and hotdogs is filling the air in Rankin Inlet today, June 21, as the local detachment of the RCMP teams up with Kissarvik Co-op to help the community celebrate National Indigenous Peoples Day with their annual gathering of barbecue and prizes.

RCMP Sgt. Patrick Frenette of the Rankin detachment said the local police certainly want to continue the effort with Kissarvik Co-op.

He said officers are very excited to be taking part in the event again this year, which he sees as a very important event for the community, and the RCMP certainly want to be part of it.

“The RCMP likes to take advantage of these kinds of events in order to build a rapport and relationships, not only with the younger people in the community, but with as many people in the community that we can reach,” said Frenette.

“It’s a chance for people in the community to see our members in a more positive light.

“We’re hoping to have as many of our members take part as we can, but, of course, that will depend on the number of calls that day, among other things.

“We’re hoping to have most of the detachment involved, with at least four to six guys at the event.”

Sgt. Frenette said he would file taking part in events such as this under the heading off community policing.

He said it’s important for residents to see their local police officers in an atmosphere where they’re seen as members of the community and not necessarily just the police.

“It gives us a chance to talk to people one on one and not necessarily always in uniform, which can make a big difference,” said Frenette.

“I believe people see us in a different light sometimes and we get to interact with them in a positive environment.

“It gives the community the chance to see a local police officer as a normal, local citizen — as human beings and not just a uniform. It’s important for the kids to see us in a better light.

“Unfortunately, sometimes, we attend their homes in an unfortunate situation and, obviously, the police are sometimes seen as the bad guys. This type of event helps us to paint a more positive picture of our officers.”

Kissarvik Co-op retail store manager Glenn Woodford said the relationship built-up during National Indigenous Peoples Day celebrations between the Co-op and the RCMP remains a strong one.

Woodford said the RCMP have been initiating first contact with the Co-op regarding hosting the event for the past few years.

He said it’s very important for local businesses to recognize these special days and give something back to the community.

“For the most part, with our membership being mostly aboriginal, the Co-op is Inuit owned,” said Woodford.

“We recognize that National Indigenous Peoples Day is worthy of us stopping, providing the community with a treat and boosting morale in the community.

“I can’t speak for the RCMP, but I’m sure it helps with their public relations with the community”

On average the RCMP/Co-op barbecue and games held for National Indigenous Peoples Day sees about 800 combined hotdogs and hamburgers, as well as gallons of juice, given out to the community.

The event slowed down in recent years due to Covid. Last year, for example, crowds were still down substantially, but some of that could be attributed to the fact a number of people didn’t think the event would be held at all.

Woodford said people are more relaxed now and although Covid may always be an issue, people, and life, for the most part, have gone back to normal.

He said he looks forward to the annual event and the return of so many smiling faces.

Crowds should begin to grow again shortly at the annual National Indigenous Peoples Day barbecue and prizes in Rankin Inlet. Covid still kept crowds a little smaller than usual at the June 21, 2022, event in Rankin Inlet. Photo courtesy Glenn Woodford

“Once it’s all set up and the wheels are in motion with people manning the barbecue and prizes being given out, the event turns into a whole lot of fun.

“We’ve been doing this a long time. I forget the year that it was, but, when we first started doing this, I believe it was around 2007. We were doing our barbecue and, when I looked down the road, the RCMP were doing their barbecue at the same time as us.

“I thought, why not do it together? We’re both community-minded organizations, so no need to compete.

“So we decided to do it together, build some camaraderie and have some fun. And it’s been working ever since for the enjoyment of the community.”

Hockey mom shares child’s passion, commitment to coolest game on ice

Cheering for son’s aggressive nature takes mom by surprise

By Darrell Greer Notthern News Services

Hockey fanatic Ujaralaaq (Uja) Eno is a hockey mom times four with all of her boys — Shea Karetak, 13, Cael Karetak, 10, Tanner Karetak, 7, and Mitchell Karetak, 5 — loving the coolest game on ice almost as much as their mom does.

Eno was bursting with pride and happiness watching her oldest boy be awarded the junior high Male Athlete of the Year award at Maani Ulujuk Ilinniarvik (MUI) earlier this month.

Eno said it’s way different watching a game when it’s your sons on the ice.

She said now that her oldest boy is playing more competitive, full-contact hockey, there’s a lot more emotion involved while watching him play.

“OMG, sometimes I can’t even watch,” laughed Eno.

“When they played their first body-contact tournament in Winnipeg it was so hard for me, especially since he’s my first.

“But, at the same time, he’s so competitive, I wanted him to be aggressive because it was his first time and he was kind of hesitant.

“That was really surprising to me, but the hockey fan in me took over and, kind of, trumped the mom in me.”

Eno said she doesn’t know if she’d be able to watch if any of her boys had to play against each other somewhere down the line. She said having two of them on different

teams would be pretty intense.

“I’d say I find it most difficult watching Shea because of the body contact and the fact he’s so competitive and is the most compassionate of the four.

“I want him to be successful so much. It’s stressful as a mom.

“Shea started skating before he turned two. He was always watching his dad and he wanted to wear his skates in the house.

“He wanted to get on the ice right away. It was just natural for him.”

Eno said some young hockey moms just starting out don’t realize how demanding other aspects of the game can become.

She said the one piece of advice she offers the young moms is simply start saving your money.

“It’s not like soccer where you, basically, give them a pair of sneakers and send them on their way.

“It can be a little hard, at times, with the four of them playing. But, on the other hand, with all the travel our boys do up here, we don’t pay a lot extra because of all the fundraising everyone does to help. It’s pretty amazing, all the big-time help and support our young players receive from the community in general.

“The boys are also expected to do well academically and Shea did very well this year in that respect. He did well in both aspects, actually.

“I can’t imagine what they pay in the south. You even have to pay tryout fees there, let alone

Shea said he had no idea he was winning the award until he heard his name called at the school during the awards day ceremonies.

Shea, who plays both the wing and centre positions, sees himself a goal scorer like Auston Matthews. He said it was a big surprise hearing his name called for the award, which made him both happy and excited.

“I think one of the big reasons I won the award was being named captain of our soccer team at the Arctic Winter Games in Fort

McMurray, Alta.

“Hockey is definitely my top sport, though. I really like skating, setting-up plays and scoring. This was my first year with body contact. I found it a little difficult at first because I was one of the smallest people out there. I got hit a lot, but I didn’t reallly mind it.

“I strengthened my game by improving my skating ability and learning to move the puck faster this past year. I plan on taking both those skills to the next level this coming year and really focus on becoming more of an overall team leader.” Continued on Page A9

High schoolers sew for elementary students

Fifteen parkas and wind pants created for youth

By Stewart Burnett Northern News Services Local Journalism Initiative Arviat

Students in Arviat’s John Arnalukjuak High School ended their year by sewing parkas and wind pants for elementary school youth.

“The teachers were very teary-eyed, the children were very grateful, and my students in the high school who mad the parkas felt that they did something really good for the community,” said principal Chi-chi Arinze.

The Grade 10/11 students made 15 parkas and windpants during their six-week program, led by instructor Malinda Kaviok and cultural instructors Malinda Suworksiok, Eva Arnalukjuak and Sheila Nungnik.

“They were with the students from the beginning to the end to make this happen,” said Arinze.

She called the program an important one for students, as it gives them a sense of responsibility.

“They are responsible to people in their community,” said Arinze. “It gives them a sense of accomplishment. They started something and finished it, and they’re also helping others.” Arviat

students participated in a six-week unit to learn to make windpants and parkas. Photo courtesy of Chi-chi Arinze

Majesty of the herd

The Qamanirjuaq caribou herd is captured here by Putulik Photography as it migrates near Rankin Inlet in mid-June. The herd’s presence is an annual phenomenon that brings out viewers and regularly leads to limited or closed driving on the road to the Agnico Eagle mine to let them past undisturbed. Elders and hunters often advise not hunting the initial packs for the health of the herd. This group was heading east when the photo was taken. Photo courtesy of Putulik Photography

Rankin Inlet and Nunavut is difficult.

Northern News Services

As a parent, vacationing south and seeing the opportunities for children and youth compared to what’s available in

Everywhere we go, there’s another fantastic resource for youth development: martial arts classes, gymnastics, library reading sessions and parks full of equipment – nothing bro-

ken or with swing sets wrapped up on poles.

The way a child can be involved in the world around them, to move, jump, play, learn, meet with others and experience new things is beautiful. Those opportunities do not exist to that extent in Nunavut. Yes, there are a couple playgrounds – rarely kept clean – and youth can certainly wander around town, but children no doubt lose out on development in their critical years due to the lack of resources and opportunities in the north.

It makes me appreciate the dedicated sport community in Rankin Inlet even more. There is little to do in the Kivalliq capital besides work and a restaurant that closes at 6 p.m. But thanks to people like Holly Mercer, David Clark and so many others stepping up, youth do have those outlets and places to learn and grow that they so desperately need. They need more, but thank God they have that and the Agnico Eagle Arena.

Being involved in sports is beneficial in so many ways. Obviously, it develops the body, and in the process of that, releases endorphins that make your everyday better. And from there, it positively influences the rest of your life, as you learn to overcome challenges, meet fears head-on and learn from mistakes. As you get to higher levels, it teaches you to work as a team, to be responsible to your peers and be ready for the next game and encourages you to be healthy so you can perform at your best.

Who knows how many people might have been lost to the winds if not for the sport scene in Rankin?

The boys who claimed Nunavut’s first U19 hockey gold at the Arctic Winter Games this year can look back on that forever. No matter what difficulties their lives present, they achieved something and they have a connection to each other that will persist.

Tournaments like the Laura Gauthier Memorial bring people from around the territory together. It’s not just about the game, but the social aspect, connections and positive vibes. At a tournament like that, you might meet a new friend that proves crucial in a future moment.

Sport and recreation in Nunavut might be the territory’s best anti-suicide and mental health initiative. It gives people goals and reasons to live. It deserves more support from all levels of government, because it’s not just games.
