Coral Harbour camp a chance to heal How an idea 20 years ago created a tradition

By Stewart Burnett Northern News Services Local

In summer 2005, Sarah and Noah Matoo had an idea to help out some of the youth in Coral Harbour.

They had noticed a lot of youth were getting into trouble and “just kind of floating around” in the community with no obligations, so the husband-and-wife pair figured they could take about 10 of them to their camp, teach them how to fish, make pipsi and stay out of trouble.

By the time the camp weekend was coming up, the Matoos had 52 youth signed up to join. They had no way to accommodate all that interest, so volunteers in the community stepped right up to provide all the camping equipment, food, mattresses and Coleman stoves they could need, even letting youth stay in their cabins to sleep.

“There was a lot of healing being done,” remembers Sarah Matoo about that first camp. “They were talking, sharing, letting things go at the camp.”

It was initially going to be a weekend venture, but the group decided to stay an extra day – even though it wasn’t a long weekend – to continue the experience.

Since then, it’s become a staple of the community, with the Matoos fundraising for the celebration camp and running it each summer they can afford to. It has also become a six-day journey, full of games, counselling, time on the land, sharing, talent shows and challenges.

“There’s a balance,” said Matoo about the activities at camp. “We do a lot of talking, a lot of self-esteem building.”

And at the end of it, the Matoos walk with the youth all the way back to Coral Harbour – more than 42 kilometres, “just to show the kids that no matter how hard things get, you’re going to make your destination.”

“They’re bleeding, there’s blisters and limping, and even me, I’m having a hard time finishing the walk now because of my age and bum knee, but we make the walk,” said Sarah.

Noah Matoo, she said, came up with a ‘catwalk’ challenge where youth had to strut in front of their peers down a catwalk like a fashion model.

“I couldn’t believe that he came up with that, because he was one of the most shyest people I had ever met,” said Sarah. “He told me that if somebody had done that push for him, maybe he wouldn’t have been so shy for that long.”

That philosophy extends to the talent show, where youth have to put on some sort of act by the end of the camp.

Sarah said the camps are even helpful for herself, as the sharing people do helps the lighten the load for everyone.

“All the problems you thought you had are no longer huge like you thought they were in your own house,” she said about hearing what other people are going through.

As the Matoos prepare for another camp this month, Sarah encourages anyone with an idea that could benefit their community to pursue it.

“I think we all have some need for healing in one way or another,” she said. “And we didn’t know what we were stumbling into when we decided we were going to take those 10 kids to our camp. What became of this camp is something that we’ve never really even comprehended that it would happen that way, but it did, and it’s got a life of its own. Sometimes things we didn’t even expect to happen happen, and it’s always way better than what we anticipated.”

Board meeting scheduled

Baker Lake

The Kivalliq Inuit Association announced that its next board of directors meeting will take place in Baker Lake Aug. 15-17, beginning in the mornings at the old community hall.

Reminder about alcohol

Rankin Inlet

The Hamlet of Rankin Inlet recently posted a public notice to remind the community about alcohol rules on hamlet property.

“Due to increasing incidents of alcoholic beverages at recreation venues and facilities, the Hamlet of Rankin Inlet would like to remind the community (that) alcohol is not permitted on any Hamlet properties,” wrote the municipality in an update on Facebook, adding that all sports fields, baseball diamonds, soccer turf, new arena and playgrounds are included.

“It is very important to keep our facilities a positive and safe place for the younger generations of Rankin Inlet. Keep garbage in its place. Please throw your garbage in supplied containers,” the Hamlet advised.

Back to Baker with bronze Ryan Uquqtuq receives a hero’s welcome after NAIG

By Stewart Burnett Northern News Services Local Journalism Initiative

Ryan Uquqtuq came home from the 2023 North American Indigenous Games with a bronze medal in doubles badminton, and the community recognized his achievement with a parade Wednesday, July 26.

“It was a close match,” said Uquqtuq about the final game that earned him bronze.

He played alongside Dwayne Veevee of Pangnirtung in the doubles game. The pair combined to defeat Manitoba 21-18 and 21-19 for a 2-0 win.

Uquqtuq said the competition wasn’t bad at the games and good teamwork helped he and Veevee win.

The Baker Lake youth has been playing badminton for one year and is already looking ahead to trying out for the 2024 Arctic Winter Games.

“We’re really proud of him,” said mother Delma Uquqtuq as a community parade was soon to begin honouring his performance.

“We’re excited. We’re really happy. We watched from the stands”

She also sent out a congratulations to all Nunavummiut who received medals and everyone who participated in the games, and especially Uquqtuq’s doubles partner, Veevee.

Overall at the games, Nunavut earned nine medals, seven of which came in badminton. Eekee Avalak earned a wrestling gold, along with Tina Kudlualik earning a badminton gold. Thayer Komakjuak of Arviat earned wrestling silver, and Coral Harbour’s Allie Ruby Ningeocheak contributed to a women’s doubles badminton silver with Kudlualik. Rodney Nakoolak of Coral Harbour also earned a bronze in badminton.

Blue Jays are peewee champs

When Loron Sharp stepped to the plate in the bottom of the fifth and final inning, he had the game in his hands. The bases were loaded with two outs, tie game at 3-3. Down by two strikes, Sharp hit a game-winning single that drove in two runs for the Blue Jays.

That was the end of the peewee baseball championship in Rankin Inlet Sunday, July 30. It was the second year the hamlet has hosted a baseball program culminating in a tournament.

“The baseball just keeps getting better and better,” remarked recreation director David Clark in closing words.

Four teams competed in the three-day tournament.

Ilitaqsiniq and Nunavut Wellness Academy partner on training course

By Stewart Burnett Northern News Services Local Journalism Initiative Rankin Inlet

In an effort to develop skills and creating business opportunities, Ilitaqsiniq partnered with the Nunavut Wellness Academy for a three-week relaxation massage and nail technician program in Rankin Inlet.

“It’s something that hasn’t ever been offered before,” said Amber Irwin, project coordinator with Ilitaqsiniq. “That’s part of why we really wanted to bring this here and why we wanted to partner with the academy.”

The program taught seven students the fundamentals in massage and nail technician work, providing graduates with a certificate and a networking opportunity with the academy to bolster their career path in the future.

That’s what Wendy Makpah-Tatty did when she took a similar program by Ilitaqsiniq in Iqaluit, as she then went on to take the full registered massage therapist training with the Nunavut Wellness Academy and now works for the academy. Ilitaqsiniq brought her back as an instructor in the Rankin Inlet course.

“The community just loves her,” said Patience Sibanda, co-founder of the academy in Iqaluit, about Makpah-Tatty. “She gives some of the best massages.”

Sibanda and her husband were busy teaching

participants for their three weeks in the Kivalliq capital. When she originally moved to Iqaluit to open a spa, Sibanda said she had a desire to train and hire people from within Nunavut rather than having to look south for staff. That’s where the connection with Ilitaqsiniq came in.

“It’s our dream and our vision as an academy to be able to go and offer this training throughout Nunavut,” said Sibanda, adding that there is a lot of talent in Rankin Inlet.

As of the end of the program, participants are now able to offer relaxation massages and nail services. They can achieve higher certification by joining the advanced training offered by the Nunavut Wellness Academy.

Adigii Nukapiak, one of the participants, said she was learning new things every day and enjoying the program.

“I like to learn new things and it’s good for the community because it’s something we don’t actually have for people to get in our hometown,” she said, adding that it was her dream to open a nail salon with hairdressing and a spa one day. She was glad she took the leap to join the course.

“I just want to tell everybody, if you want to do something, try it,” said Nukapiak. “It doesn’t matter if you don’t know. Just keep trying and maybe you’ll get interested in it. Like myself, I didn’t know I could have patience for nails, but I really enjoy it and it’s something really new to me.”

Krista Adigii Nukapiak said she surprised herself with just how patient she can be.
