the national Inuit Youth Summit hosted in nain, nunatsiavut is how I began my new

role as the Project Coordinator with Inuit tapiriit Kanatami. What an amazing way to

start a new job! 110 youth delegates were in attendance, all wishing and working

towards a better, more positive and empowering life for Inuit youth and communities

across Inuit nunangat.

It filled my heart with such joy to see so many optimistic, positive, driven Inuit

youth. In this edition of nipiit magazine you’ll get a glimpse of our time at the 2017

national Inuit Youth Summit in nain, nunatsiavut. I look forward to working with the

nIYC and Inuit across Inuit nunangat.

I grew up as an urban Inuk and like many other southerners — not

knowing about Inuit culture. I was 20 years old when I first began to

learn about my ancestral past. My first exposure to the rich history and

comprehensive land claim was at a college program called nunavut

Sivuniksavut. I attended the program from 2014-16. I can honestly say

that I have not gained such a passion for anything like I did for my own

heritage.

I am so proud to be Inuk and it has guided me to where I am today.

not only did I reclaim myself as an individual, but it has helped me

contribute to modern Inuit society in varying ways. I’ve worked at

Indigenous and northern affairs Canada where my work was Inuit-

focused, at Inuit tapiriit Kanatami and I am currently working as an Intern

with the Senate of Canada. along with my work in Senator Patterson’s

office, I am studying full-time at Carleton university pursuing my bachelor

of arts combined honors in Indigenous Studies and Psychology. I am a

single parent to my 5-year-old son who is currently growing up as an

urban Inuk. I serve as the Vice President on the board of Directors of the

ottawa Inuit Children’s Centre. being an urban Inuk doesn’t mean we

lose our culture in the south — it just means that we get to embrace it

in a new surrounding and share it with the world.

My name is tooma laisa. I am from Iqaluit, nunavut and now attending

my first year of nunavut Sivuniksavut in ottawa, on.

Performing has allowed me to explore and become passionate

about my culture. I did not know how to drum dance, throat sing and

was still new to singing. through joining a choir while in high school it

has given me opportunities to sing, perform, gain confidence, build

lasting friendships but most importantly it has allowed me to continue

to build my Inuktitut.

I have had the privilege to perform on Canada Day to sing with 300

other individuals for unisong in ottawa. I got to perform for the arctic

Winter games in nuuk, greenland, and participate in workshops with

Qaggiavuut and alianait. I was able to travel to toronto for the Canadian

national exhibition and perform on an International stage. I never

would have experienced this had I not opened up to trying.

I have music to thank for allowing me to be more out-going. I have

been given these opportunities and life changing experiences which

has lead me to become the person I am today — as a performer and

as a young Inuk.

“Shoot for the moon, even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars.” this is a quote

that was painted on the wall at my high school, Maani ulujuk Illiniarvik in Rankin Inlet,

nunavut. I read this every single day while walking into class. I never thought much

of it or really connected with the meaning until I was in my second year of my studies

at the university of Manitoba.

I graduated from high school in 2013 and was excited to start university in the fall.

I had a few stumbles along the way like, having to upgrade a few of my courses to meet

the university requirements, living in a new city I had known only little of and being

away from my immediate family. It wasn’t easy at first, but it has all become so worth it.

I’m studying to be a nurse and couldn’t be more excited to start my career soon.

I think being an Inuit health professional is so important for my community and across

Inuit nunangat. We need more Inuit professionals in the work force and I am always

encouraging new high school graduates to go after what they want.

We must remember that it’s okay to stumble along the way and even if you do

not make it to the moon, you’re among the stars. We must never give up on our

dreams and after every mistake, find solutions and try harder. We only fail when we

stop trying.

nunavik sivunitsavut on august 21st, 18 students arrived in Montreal as the first cohort

of nunavik Sivunitsavut, a one-year college experience based in

Montreal. the initiative will aim to teach and develop knowledge,

work and leadership skills rooted in Inuit culture and values

from nunavik. It was modelled after the ottawa-based nunavut

Sivuniksavut.

the cohort is comprised of students coming from seven different

nunavik communities. During their first week in Montreal, they spent

the whole time in orientation training, where they got a chance to

explore the city, meet the mayor of Montreal and engage in leader-

ship activities. It was a chance to explore their new city and break

the ice with their new classmates.

Some of the students will be living at the eVo residence in old

Montreal, where they will have access to different activities and

support services. Students who have come down with their families

are being housed in apartments provided by the Kativik School

board. Courses will be taught at the avataq Cultural Institute, where

the nunavik Sivunitsavut is presently hosted.

nunavuk Sivunitsavut is proud to offer something that is

currently not available within the Quebec education system at the

college level. Content Inuit history, culture, governance, the James

bay northern Quebec agreement, along with literature that will

enable students to obtain credits that count towards any CegeP and

their history and culture while exploring options for future studies

or professional interests. this new option is also a great chance to

explore life in an urban city, away from home.

from July 31 – august 4, 2017. over 100 youth delegates from the

four Inuit land claim regions of Canada (Inuvialuit Settlement Region,

nunavut, nunavik and nunatsiavut) were in attendance.

Sponsored by over 10 organizations and businesses, the national

Inuit Youth Summit was coordinated by the national Inuit Youth

Council (nIYC), in collaboration with Inuit tapiriit Kanatami (ItK).

Iqaluit, nu, is my hometown and where I lived until I started high school in ottawa. I

attended lisgar Collegiate Institute where I studied art for four years. Drawing is my

favorite hobby and something I do almost daily. I also enjoy playing video games and

my love for art helped me to get accepted to algonquin College for a bachelor’s degree

in Interior Design.

the piece I created for this issue of Nipiit magazine was inspired by the recent national

Inuit Youth Summit (nIYS) My creation contains youth delegates in their “Inuujugut”

hoodies meaning “We are Inuit”. the message I wanted to send through this piece is

that Inuit youth are unified standing confidently and comfortably in front of both

traditional and urban settings. as a summer student at ItK this past summer I did a

couple additional art assignments that will be used in future ItK projects.

hello my name is Jonathan Cousins.

Igloo Treats — Illuvigammi Mamattuit initiative was a pilot project initiated by the nunatsiavut government Department of economic

Development and CDbC Youth Ventures. first, we surveyed high school students in all 5 nunatsiavut Communities to see which business

opportunities they would like to see happen. Ice Cream was one of 3 top initiatives.

Igloo treats took place throughout the 5 communities in nunatsiavut during their summer festivals. nanuks Den (inspired by CbC’s

Dragons Den) was carried out through each community with local youth. our goal was to come up with meaningful and creative ways to

incorporate more business into the program. the youth were to come up with an idea of a product to sell, do up a simple business plan

with guidance from myself and Candice and pitch it to “nanuks” who were local business people.

We proceeded with the logistical steps and had to decide who would be operating the cart and where we should be serving the treats.

Samantha Saksagiak and tristan Denniston were chosen to sell the ice-cream in nain.

one of our goals was to have the youth learn and understand the basics of business i.e. Revenue-expenses = profit. after 3 days the

youth made $497.75 each. a project like this is a positive one for youth and the community and a small step towards supporting economic

development.

I would like to acknowledge Kristy Sheppard — Director of economic Development, Melva Williams — business Development Manager,

Molly Shiwak — business Development Manager, tim Mcneill — Deputy Minister of economic Development and education. Patricia

Kemuksigak Minister of economic Development and Candice elson, Youth Ventures Coordinator.

nipiit: What was it like growing up in happy-Valley goose Bay?

delilah: My family is based out of Happy Valley-goose bay but

my mom and her family are from Hopedale so we spent all of our

summer and holidays in Hopedale. growing up in Happy Valley goose

bay there is a bit of a melting pot between Inuit, Innu and the settlers.

Some of my siblings definitely look more Inuk than I do. I think being

torn between both worlds of growing up in Hopedale and goose bay

gave us a bit of a unique perspective and definitely shaped how we

interacted with both worlds. In goose bay, there was access to being

out on the land and going out fishing. We weren’t too far from

Hopedale so we spent a lot of time up there. there was and still is

today racial tension between Inuit and white people. there is a tight

knit community in goose bay.

My mom was a foster parent when I was growing up so I had a lot

of foster siblings – my parents always took people in from the northern

coast. Some of my cousins lived with us for nearly ten years. growing

up in goose bay, we weren’t necessarily subjected to a lot of the

problems that are more prevalent in the northern communities.

growing up in goose bay was a mixed bag of things because there is

still substance abuse and being exposed to that stuff at a young age.

I think that’s the same as any small town.

nipiit: do you think that inuit culture was a big part of your lifegrowing up?

delilah: I think so. We grew up going to Hopedale every summer,

going off on the land. I remember growing up catching salmon with

our hands and gutting them on the rocks, drying out the fish on the

rocks and eating them that day. Some of those memories of going off

include having no electricity and playing cards by the candle light and

being out hunting. I’m really grateful to have those experiences with

my family. even in goose bay where it is more of an urban setting

rather than being up the coast — we still had our youth group and

that’s where I learned how to drum dance and throat sing. We would

go berry picking a lot too. My entire family loved to get together and

jump in the back of the truck to go berry pick. even in that urban set-

ting my mom made it a point to teach us the more traditional ways of

living appreciating the land and how we survive off it with our fish,

nipiit: you mentioned that you do some throat singing anddrum dancing, do you still practice those today?

delilah: a little bit when I can — the last time was a few months ago

with Silpa Suarak. I don’t get the chance very often anymore. I just

moved to ottawa and I’m still building that community here. I’ve

hosted a lot of vigils and memories for my sister loretta. I’ve drum

danced and throat sang at different events. It’s definitely something

that I still practice. I was one of the original members of the drum

dancing and throat singing group. the women that came to teach us

to throat sing were emily Karpik and Kendra tagoona, and the whole

group was really proud to learn — it was exciting and it was fun! I’m

glad that we were a part of that because I know that a lot of those

things were sources of shame for the older generations but now I am

seeing that the younger generations are proud to learn these things.

being proud of who they are and where they come from is a really

beautiful thing.

nipiit: have you always been involved with the advocacy workthat you are doing?

delilah: My advocacy started the moment I realized that my sister

was actually missing. that was almost 4 years ago now. I didn’t

realize it was such a real issue until it directly affected me. that is one

thing that really opened my eyes — there are people all over that are

unaware of the weight of the issue. I think that is one thing that defi-

nitely drove me in the advocacy work that I do. I don’t want another

family member to lose their sister, their daughter, their aunt, their

mother. I don’t want them to lose their loved one the way that I lost

loretta. one thing that I really advocate for is the respect and sacred-

ness that women and girls deserve to have as an everyday part of their

life. I want that to be normalized rather than the abuse, degradation

and murder of our women. I feel like if we put the effort into doing

that and realize how sacred our women are, then no other family

members will have to have that rude awakening and that trauma.

nipiit: do you have any advice for inuit youth who are lookingto get involved — where can they first start?

delilah: I think it starts at home — it starts within yourself and

realizing how you’re either helping heal our communities or you’re

contributing to the trauma and the pain in our communities.

In your personal relationships that’s where it really starts. our

communities are under a pretty strict code of silence most of the time.

things are so normalized and I’ve always known that these abuses

aren’t normal but no one has spoken about it. Speaking out and being

honest with yourself and your situation that are within our people.

nipiit: you were involved in the make muskrat right hungerstrike – could you tell me more about that?

delilah: last october billy gauthier, Kerry Kohlmeister, and I went on

a hunger strike to protect, not only the lands and the waters but also

to help with our people. I think that it was the best road to take

because our food would be impacted. our traditional ways of life is

what is going to be impacted. unfortunately, within the government

(provincial, federal, and our Indigenous leaders) there has been a lot of

inaction and they didn’t follow through in their commitments to mit-

igate the impacts and the concerns that we have surrounding methyl

mercury poisoning. We felt it was necessary to stand up for our waters

and our lands and our people because these things can’t be — it’s

sickening seeing our people walked all over. the federal Minister of

natural Resources said the reasons that they are investing so much

into muskrat falls is because they want to reduce the coal consump-

tion in nova Scotia specifically. at what cost? at the cost of Inuit and

Innu lives and the land and the animals that live in these lands and wa-

ters. It’s a fight that is ongoing and it’s still very real. Hopefully now that

Clyde River won their case, I feel like we have grounds to be able to

take legal action for lack of proper consultations. they actually

approved another loan guarantee. It’s still very much a struggle — it’s

a different kind of struggle — we did have to take action to be able to

get the ears of the government and the people involved.

nipiit: Congratulations on your ambassador of Conscienceaward 2017! how do you feel?

delilah: Cindy blackstock and Murray Sinclair are people that I have

looked up to for a very long time and to be acknowledged alongside

them is surreal. our youth need to see that there is a good way of

living — it’s hard to see sometimes in our communities with the issues

that we face — but there is good, there is light within our people. We

are still here.

nipiit: What additional things are you involved with in your community?

delilah: Right now I am mostly working on some writing. I write for

teen Vogue right now. I am also working on a tV show with barrie

Dunn — we are writing and creating a tV show about sober Indigenous

warrior women. I have been working pretty diligently on that. Writing

is mostly what I’ve been doing but my partner and I are talking about

doing healthy relationship workshops together. He already facilitates

healthy living workshops.

nipiit: if you would give one message to the youth who wantto speak up about issues in their community, what would it be?

delilah: Don’t be afraid. our people have been fairly quiet for a very

long time and our voices do mean something. our voices are powerful.

When we are together and we are not fighting amongst each other,

we are powerful people and we can do the right thing and we can

make it happen. there is a lot of power in our voices. there is a lot of

medicine. I have friends from all different nations and we all band

together and it is powerful what we can do as one to fight for Indigenous

rights and fight for our people.

xzJ3ç3u5 • ANGAJUQQAARMIT • FROM THE PRESIDENT

at the nIYS 2017, it was so special to have a group of

determined Inuit youth gathered together to identify differ-

ent priorities to create a better future for Inuit. Reflecting

back on the week, all I could think was “did that really just

happen?” I speak for myself and the 110 youth when I say

that we were supported and inspired leaving nain.

I want you all to know that we need to recognize that we

each have a purpose, strength and resilience. We have a

strong and beautiful culture to be proud of and it’s good to

know that we have each other. over the span of five days,

we talked about Inuit language; reconciliation; suicide pre-

vention; culture and Inuit practices; education and empow-

erment. It was so inspiring to see Inuit youth come together

to learn new skills, create lasting friendships and share their

thoughts on a wide range of issues. Inuit youth face many

challenges in our communities, our regions and in the

nation. Despite this, we are strong. Inuit are resilient and

it’s something to be proud of. We have to remember our

language, our culture, and our Inuit way of life is still alive

and it’s something to be celebrated.

as president, I look forward to representing the national

voice of Inuit youth and working with ItK. as youth, we have

important knowledge to share and I will bring my passion

for Inuit culture to advocating for the values and priorities

for youth. I lit a qulliq by myself for the first time today. this

was a very important experience for me because lighting

the qulliq was always done by the woman of the house. She

ensured that the igloo was bright and warm, and would dry

and warm up her family’s clothes. the woman of the home

plays an important role, from sewing to caring for her

children and for the community as a whole. It is an honor

being the one to brighten the future with my qulliq, as a

voice for Inuit youth and to communicate their priorities and

needs. I won’t stop when I’m tired, I’ll stop when I’m done.

In July I was asked if I would like to go to nain, labrador to attend a meeting (national Inuit Youth

Summit). I accepted the invitation and travelled with a lot of young people. It was a lot of fun and I

was so impressed. they are very capable and looking towards the future, working hard and working

together.

I hope for the best for them because they are the future and they will be there to take care of

generations of Inuit. Someday they will be running our communities. So, I am encouraging them to

continue to work hard. I am also hoping they stay away from things that can harm them mentally,

such as using drugs and alcohol and anything that they can become addicted to. I look at the youth

as our northern Star. I want them to be proud of who they are as Inuit and to know it is a lot of

fun being Inuk.

ᑭᓱᓂ ᓂᕆᐅᒐᔭᕐᒪᖔᑦ

I had the honor of attending the 2017 national Inuit Youth Summit

in nain, nunatsiavut this summer. Hosting the Summit in my home

community and meeting so many Inuit youth from across Inuit nunangat

was inspiring and energizing. In my address to Inuit youth, I spoke about

the importance of Inuktut to Inuit culture and identity. I used my remarks

to share my personal, ongoing journey to learn Inuktut as an adult

despite often feeling discouraged while doing so. I would like to share

that message here as well.

throughout my life I have had to reconcile with the fact that I am

among the minority of Inuit who does not speak Inuktut fluently. I grew

up identifying as an Inuk but for reasons beyond my control was raised

in an english speaking environment and did not have the opportunity

to begin learning our language until later in life. What I can control now

are the choices I make in how I use my time to learn Inuktut using the

resources that are available to me, including seeking out fluent speakers

for assistance who in my experience are often eager to share their

knowledge. I have chosen to ensure that my children are learning Inuk-

tut by enrolling them in Inuktut immersion schools in Iqaluit and by

learning along with them. My learning journey has been humbling and

extremely rewarding, and although I am not yet a fluent speaker, I hope

I can help others see that no matter how old you are or where you live,

it is never too late to begin learning.

What is to come

My experience has shown me that through dedication and effort

it is fully possible to learn Inuktut and achieve fluency as a second

language. but as with any language, it is not easy. there is often an

element of shame involved for those of us who are in the process

of learning and reclaiming our language, and unfortunately our own

people can be our greatest critics. I have been ridiculed by my fellow

Inuit for not being a fluent speaker but instead of giving up I have

tried to understand the complex history and emotions that are usually

behind this criticism. Many of our people have unfortunately grown

up struggling with challenges beyond their control, just as the language

spoken in my household growing up was beyond my control, and

some of them direct their anger and frustration towards others as

an outlet. We are all influenced by the particular time and place in

which we grow up but we also have the power to determine who we

become and what we do to support others around us in reaching

their full potential. no matter where you are in Inuit nunangat, and

regardless of where you are on your learning journey, you are all

Inuit and this is where you belong.
