ICC meets in Nuuk Greenland

The Inuit Circumpolar Council (ICC) hosted its first in-person gathering since the pandemic July 17-19 in Nuuk, Greenland.

ICC normally holds a general assembly every four years, but the 2022 event was a hybrid meeting due to Covid-19 concerns. This year’s in-person gathering was called a delegates meeting and an opportunity to reflect on the organization’s progress, celebrate unity and further develop ICC work plans.

“We are looking forward to hosting the Inuit delegates travelling to Ilulissat next week,” ICC chair Sara Olsvig stated ahead of the event. “ICC Greenland and the municipality of Avannaata Kommunia have been planning this for many years, and unfortunately the pandemic delayed the in-person event. Gathering as Inuit contributes to the original vision of unity across our Inuit homeland – Inuit Nunaat. We gain strength from meeting each other, from both our discussions and sharing our culture.”

Inuit from Chukotka were not able to attend in-person due to the Russian war in Ukraine.

The main themes for the meeting this year are internal ICC governance structure, marine governance, hunting and food security, infrastructure deficit and the international decade on Indigenous languages.

“Continuing the vision of our founders, we are bringing our voice to the international arena in many important areas – human rights, climate change, contaminants, international shipping, wildlife and health,” states Olsvig.

“Guided by the ICC 2022 General Assembly Declaration, which serves as our mandate throughout this four-year term, the gathering in Ilulissat will provide an important venue to further discuss our priorities and advocacy.”

A men’s gathering in Rankin Inlet saw some somber discussions and calls for action.

About two-dozen men attended the meeting at the community hall Thursday, July 13. They ranged from Elders to young people.

“As we know, we have lots of issues in Rankin,” said Noel Kaludjak, who formed the men’s committee to organize the gathering. “Social issues, family violence, lack of hunting skills, lack of tool making, addiction programs, alcohol, mental health.”

He added that a lot of people don’t seek mental health help until it’s too late.

“Our young men, some of them don’t know how to tie a rope on the sled. They don’t know how to get ready for survival properly…the list is long.”

So much was broken when Inuit were moved to settlement, said Kaludjak, who also mentioned the ability for men to properly raise families.

The group talked about the beer and wine store and struggles with alcohol.

“It’s too bad, the beer and wine store is not really helping,” remarked Kaludjak. “I thought it would be okay – people would go buy beer, go home, have a few beers, go to work the next day.”

The importance of language and Inuktitut was also discussed, as well as the need for programs like young hunters and opportunities for Elders to teach young men.

One man in attendance wanted more action and less talk.

“We need action, not just talk, talk, talk, talk,” he said. “We hear that all the time, every day. Stop talking and start doing so us young people can follow what you guys are trying to teach us.”

Another younger man shared his personal challenges with some of the stigmas around men.

“I was always told you’re old enough, you should know, you’re a boy, you should know,” he said, through tears. “I’m tired of

that. We all are. And like (another participant) said, we have nowhere to go, nowhere to turn, so a bunch of us end up killing ourselves… We need to do something. Something needs to start.” He talked about the weight on his shoulders about not being able to pass on traditional skills to youth.

“That’s been bothering me all week,” he said. “I’ve been wanting to teach but I don’t have the resources. I was never taught myself.”

Kaludjak chimed in, echoing that core need for Inuit to know how to hunt and prepare meat and skins.

“It cannot be taken away,” he said about that urge. “But a lot of us grew up not being taught that.”

Kaludjak hopes the group can grow and make a positive impact in Rankin Inlet that would be seen and echoed by other communities. At the moment, it’s just getting off its feet.

“We have no money, we have no office, but that’s how we work,” said Kaludjak. “We need to make this a model for other communities to see. It starts with you guys.”

”No words can explain,” said Randy Ryan Innukshuk about catching his first narwhal by Marble Island outside of Rankin Inlet Sunday, July 16. “Too excited. I’m going to give out to the community.” Photo courtesy of Randy Ryan Innukshuk

The hits keep coming as the tuugaalik (narwhal) are evidently in town, a rarity for Rankin Inlet.

Working by day, wildlife photographer at all other times

Rankin Inlet photographer talks being immersed in caribou herd

By Stewart Burnett Northern News Services Local Journalism Initiative Rankin Inlet

Born and raised in Rankin Inlet, David Kakuktinniq Jr. has been following the Beverly and Qamanirjuaq caribou herd most of his life.

“When I was younger, I used to follow the herd for harvesting purposes,” he said.

But now his inspiration is more so for wildlife photography, as he has been building his name and brand in that field for several years.

“Now it becomes more enjoyable to witness,” he said.

As the herd has been passing by Rankin Inlet in the last few weeks, Kakuktinniq Jr. has been keeping his eye on the animals’ migration and his camera ready.

After waking up early on July 8 to see if he could grab some shots of the herd before work, he was treated to an exceptional experience.

“I actually made it to my destination, which was farther away, and I didn’t see anything along the way when I got there,” recalled Kakuktinniq Jr., adding that he began heading home on his ATV to prepare for work after being skunked on his original destination.

All

Not all letters will necessarily be published. Preference is given to short letters of broad interest or concern. We particularly encourage new contributors as we attempt to publish a cross-section of public opinion.

Letters of more than 200 words, open letters and those published elsewhere are seldom used. We reserve the right to edit for length or taste and to eliminate inaccurate or libelous statements.

We may also choose to use a letter as the basis for a story.

“I think I was within the 5-10km range of home when those (caribou) popped over the hill, so I pulled over and got my gear ready and I was enjoying the scenery, capturing what I could.” He became surrounded by hundreds of caribou within mere feet of him, as he took in the moment while capturing it with his camera.

“When you’re in that situation where you see hundreds of caribou in front of you, time goes by pretty quick,” said Kakuktunniq Jr. “From the time I unpacked to the time I got my gear ready to go home when they finally passed, it was about an hour. By the time I was finished with that, I went to work at 8:30 in the morning.”

He called it a special experience. He also said the herd appears very healthy, potentially because of the early snow melt and abundance of food.

Beyond caribou, Kakuktinniq Jr. has been honing his photography craft for many years now. He has captured all sorts of wildlife from juvenile bald eagles to polar bears, but still on his list are walrus, beluga, wolverines, wolves and – if he’s really lucky – orca whales.

Fun for the whole community

Just about the whole community came out for a smoky afternoon part in Rankin Inlet for Agnico Eagle’s family fun day Saturday, July 15.

Hundreds of people gathered outside the Agnico Eagle Arena to enjoy food, games and live music, while children filled the inside of the arena playing in the bouncy castles.

take their seats to enjoy the show and connect.
