Hi everyone, I’m Annie Aningmiuq, Nipiitmagazine’s newest editor. Ihave been working at Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami (ITK) for over a year andI have to say, it has been a great one! As the youth coordinator for theNational Inuit Youth Council (NIYC), I’ve been very fortunate to workamongst very talented individuals and have met many admirable youth.

This has been an exciting and successful year! We held the 10thNational Inuit Youth Summit in Iqaluit, Nunavut and the NIYC focusedon celebrating life together at World Suicide Prevention Day on Parliament Hill. You can read about these incredible stories in this11th issue of Nipiit.

The NIYC said farewell to Anguti Johnston and welcomedMaatalii Okalik as its president for a two-year term. A big thank you

to Anguti for his many years of hard work and dedication to repre-senting Inuit youth, qujannamiik! We wish Maatalii all the best in hernew role, tunngasugit!

ITK welcomes its new president, Natan Obed, who will serve a 3 year term. Natan has written a piece in this issue on Inuktitut. On behalf of the NIYC, I would like to thank outgoing President, Terry Audla for his work and dedication to Inuit in Canada.

I am humbled and feel very privileged to have met so manyamazing youth across Inuit Nunangat. Thank you for sharing your stories and inspiring not only myself but many others. Upigivassit!

Hi, my name is Caitlyn Baikie. In January, I was delightfully surprisedwhen CBC Aboriginal news did a website article recognizing the workme and four other Indigenous youth leaders do across Canada. Someof the work that I’ve been doing that was highlighted was my recentappointment as an Ambassador to the University of the Arctic by Memorial University’s President. I also joined a really cool expeditionright after my internship in the North West Passage. Shell Canada advertised to take two Inuit students from Canada on the CanadianGovernment’s search for Sir John Franklin’s lost ships, and we were successful in finding Erebus! These opportunities are available to allInuit youth, if you put yourself out there, believe in yourself and try!

My name is Jason Sudlovenick and I recently completed my contract with the Canadian Armed forces. I enlisted four years agoat the age of 25. From basic training in St. Jean Sur Richeleau, to my posting here in Petawawa, this career path has been an interesting one.

The training and mind set in the army is conformed to the pattern of repetition and discipline. Sometimes conditions are notideal, like being in a trench at 3 o'clock in the morning or being onweekend duty, but you naturally fall back on what you alreadyknow; your friends. Hours of conversations, debates, playing cards,or backgammon; you find a way to pass the time.

I realized this career is not exactly ideal for me, but I surely don’tregret enlisting. I’ve met, lived, trained and travelled with many people that I will have lifelong friendships with.

I’m a student at Jens Haven Memorial School and recently won the Inuit Partnership of Excellence Award by entering the poster contest at ArcticChange. My research group, Inuusuktut Qaujisarnilirijut – Youth Working toGain Knowledge helped to create the poster. We showcased our research onInuit youth perspectives on health, which was solely done by youth, for youth.

My role model is my Anânsiak Sarah Nochasak. She is one of thestrongest, most caring and loving people that I know. She inspires me todo my best at everything and to love people unconditionally. In the futureI hope to go to school for something that has significant meaning and purpose in my life and in others’ lives.

Imagining what I can achieve in 10 years motivates me. Just imaginethe things YOU could achieve! If we uplift each other, we can thrive withthe benefits it brings. Caroline Nochasak

I recently started working for the Kativik Regional Police Force(K.R.P.F.) as a police officer in training. In 2009, the K.R.P.F. created aprogram for Nunavik’s youth to promote policing.The program encourages youth to widentheir future goals, to promote positive life -styles and to introduce the youth intopolicing amongst other things. Whenthe program started, I joined the CadetProgram. It was a great experience forme. I met a lot of new friends anddid a lot of travelling to participatein cadet courses and activities.

Being a police officer in train-ing has been interesting. My fellow colleagues are teachingme the daily work chores in theoffice as well as on the road inter-ventions. In the following year, I hope to be going to college tostudy police technology. My goal is to become a certified police officer. Michael Petagumskum badge#1023

I have been an Inuktitut reporter for CBC North in Iqaluit for the past 2 years; I work in English andInuktitut. I'm also a video journalist. I conduct inter-views, operate my own camera, write stories and putthe TV and radio stories together for the news.

It's very rewarding delivering news to the unilingual Inuit and keeping them informed of howthe world is doing. Every now and then some Elderwill walk up to me and say “thank you for speaking inInuktitut” and to me, that is the most rewarding andit motivates me to continue.

With what I feel is a successful career at a youngage, I always credit my grandfather who taught me alot of great things when I was growing up. As a familywe went through our ups and downs but I learnedthat what he taught me was only for the good. Oncehe asked me “do you remember when we built thisdoor and you cried because you were scared to operate the skill saw?” and I said “no” and we both justgiggled. We did so much carpentry together, justwriting this brings back hundreds of memories withhim. My grandfather who only speaks Inuktitut wentthrough a lot in the past to keep the language strong.

Inuktitut is one of the most important languagesin the world. It’s unique and not very many peoplecan speak it in the world of 7 billion people. It’s notjust a language; it creates an identity and can evenhelp to change how the Government works. It showsthat you and your family are hunters and use naturalresources that make up a new culture to the rest ofthe world.

Inuktitut is important to me, mainly because I dida lot of things with my grandfather. He’s the one thatshowed me that a person can move a mountain andthat even if you are successful, there’s room to do better.It shows me where I came from and who I am.

After completing medical school, I started my residency at The Universityof Ottawa Heart Institute, and will be done my 6 year program in the summer of 2020 to become a full-fledged cardiac surgeon. Residencyis like an apprenticeship; I am working every day and learning newskills. I spend many months working on various services to learndifferent aspects of medicine and spend lots of time reading up onnew topics on cardiac surgery as well as working on research projects.

I’m excited to see where this adventure will lead me. I am reallylooking forward to completing my residency and being a staff cardiacsurgeon.

In my free time, I like exercising by going for jogs, going to thegym, or doing yoga. I also love eating country food with my family,whenever I can. I enjoy reading about fashion, photography, or traveland some nights I just like to relax in front of the TV with a funny show,or movie.

I feel happy, and I must admit, proud, but also humbled and honoured to be Nunavut`s first Inuk doctor. At the same time, I don’toften think about it much as there is always work to be done: patients tocare for, books and papers to read, and research to get done, I’m oftenfocused on working and ensuring I do a good job for patients as well.But, I feel quite humbled, I cannot emphasize that enough, and I do hopethat by sharing my story there can be some good that can come out ofit for others.

My advice for youth is to find and do something in life that makesyou happy. Surround yourself with people that make you happy, makeyou learn, or make you want to be a better person. And, don’t cut yourself short — fulfill your potential, and pursue what you love, no mat-ter how silly it may seem to others. But, without forgetting, that somethings worth having, or achieving, require hard work, but that shouldn’tdiscourage you. Donna May Kimmaliardjuk

Nipiit sat down with Maika to hear about hersuccessful acting career and to talk about someof the things she has learned along the way.

Nipiit: Can you tell us a bit about yourself?

Maika: I play Anna on Mohawk Girls, a show centred on female is-sues in a small community. There are topics in the show that relateto other aboriginal communities but it’s not just for Aboriginals; itspeaks to anyone in a small town.

I am currently writing my own play which will be on stagenext year; it’s a play that focuses on the Scottish Referendum. Ithought this was an interesting topic to explore because I am reallyfocused on world politics and world issues.

Nipiit: How did you land the starring role of Anna?

Maika: I was in university studying classical theatre when mycousin told me about this Nation Wide Search for Anna. I did theaudition online, inside my bedroom, using my MacBook pro. Youdon’t have to have all of the digital equipment to do an audition;it’s all about the talent that you demonstrate.

Nipiit: This is a really good point for youth that might notbe able to get auditions done in the south; you can submitstuff on your own, even inside your own bedroom!

Maika: Absolutely! The main point is to try! I’ve gotten to this pointin my life mainly because I just try; you just have to keep trying.The worst that could happen is they could say no, but you couldalways try harder next time. This was a once in a lifetime opportunityfor me, so I took it!

Nipiit: The show talks about different relationship themes,how would you describe a healthy relationship?

Maika: A healthy relationship is built around trust; trust is the mainthing. Listening, having compassion and respect is really importantin any relationship.

Nipiit: What advice would you give Inuit youth that mightbe in unhealthy relationships?

Maika: Don’t be afraid to talk, you need to get your voice heard.Talk to someone and if there is no one around, there are phonenumbers that you could call. Above all, you need to be respectfulof yourself to be able to be loving of someone else.

Nipiit: Mohawk Girls is becoming quite popular; do youfeel any pressure to be a good role model for Inuitwomen?

Maika: Yes, completely. I’m in a really cool spot right now for Inuit,for Aboriginal people and for women. I have to respect how I gothere, and I have to give back.

Where I grew up, there was no theatre school, no way to express the creative energy I had and I never got into acting untilI left. This is unfortunate because there is a lot of creative energyup north, with music, the community, and the youth. I hope some-one will pick up this article and read it, or watch an episode of Mohawk Girls and hopefully that one little bit of energy that goesout will be positive for that person. I want the youth to be positivebecause our future is the youth.

Nipiit: Tell us about your work day.

Maika: My work day can go anywhere from 1 to 16 hours a day.Each day is different, some days it’s just a fitting which could be15 minutes or it could be working on an episode for 16 hoursstraight waiting for the daylight to come, there is no 9-5 in acting.

Makeup, hair, wardrobe, sound, lighting, all these take a longtime. Not many people know that acting is a lot of work but it’salso very rewarding. At the end of the day, I’m happy.

Nipiit: What can we expect for Anna in the future?

Maika: I want to see Anna grounded in herself and in her com-munity and I hope she has more school scenes. There are twoscenes where she’s in school and people make fun of her becauseshe’s native and, to be honest, these are things I’ve heard peoplesay before. Having more school scenes will be an educational les-son for others and help break down stereotypes.

Nipiit: What can we expect from you in the future?

Maika: Immediate plans are to do more acting but I would alsolike to go back to school for writing. I’ve always dreamed of myselfas being a famous movie star but until I started working on Mohawk Girls, I realized that there are many different aspects thatI love. I love theatre, I love acting but I want to write plays so, writing is my next step. I want to have an impact on the youth in

my community but I also want to have a world impact and, I think writingis the way that I’m going to do that.

Nipiit: Living in Toronto and not Iqaluit, how do you practice your Inuit culture?

Maika: Eating country food with my family keeps me connected to myInuit culture. I’m not going to lie, I don’t speak the best Inuktitut but at leastI try! Inuktitut is something I want to go back to and keep it prominent, itkeeps me grounded and in touch with my roots. Culture is something thatis really important and I think it’s something that we won’t lose eventhough we live in a city.

Nipiit: What advice would you give young Inuit?

Maika: Respect yourself before anything else and respect others. That’sthe only way to be true to yourself and to benefit from life.

vNboµu5 wkw5 yKo6tzi4 • KANATALIMAAMIT INUIT SIVULIQTINGANIK • FROM THE NATIONAL INUIT LEADER


Our language is Inuktut. Our dialects may be diverse but our language

spans the circumpolar Arctic in one continuous linguistic umbilical cord.

It binds us and nourishes us and connects us together. My Inuit friends

from such far-flung places as Kotzebue, Alaska, Chesterfield Inlet,

Nunavut, Hopedale, Nunatsiavut, and Qakortoq, Greenland are my

circumpolar family that speaks a common language that feels local and

unbroken despite colonial geopolitics.

Even though I am still learning, I am a fierce Inuktut advocate and

will do all I can as President of ITK to improve supports for Inuktut

acquisition, use, and promotion. I understand the urgency in obtaining

and using Inuktut to become our best selves, and also for the health of

Inuit society and the transmission of knowledge from one generation

to the next. I will not give up as I stumble along to keep up with the

jokes and the swear words; the serious political debates and the sharing

of hunting stories; the talk of the future.

But here we are, in 2015, conversing more and more in English

rather than Inuktut when communicating. We all want a better life for

our children than we have for ourselves. We must work hard to achieve

the linguistic sea of change we want for our society.

So speak Inuktut if you can. Support those who are learning. If you

have children, speak to them in Inuktut and send them to school in

Inuktut if you can. Find ways to learn if you need help in becoming fluent.

I will be here at the national level strategizing on how to support

the successful revitalization of Inuktut in our societies and am confident

we will achieve the linguistic strength we have been fighting for since

the 1970’s. I will not accept Inuktut reduced to being an attribute that

is used to divide us rather than bring us together. I want us all to share

in the tremendous positive power of our language.

xzJ3ç3u5 • ANGAJUQQAARMIT • FROM THE PRESIDENT

Quvianaq! I am thrilled to work as the

President of the National Inuit Youth Council

(NIYC). In August, I hosted the 10th National

Inuit Youth Summit (NIYS) in Iqaluit, Nunavut.

With an Inuit Youth Delegation of over 70

youth from across Inuit Nunangat, the

NIYS brought together the unique realities

from each community and region into

one voice.

At the NIYS, we talked about our collective Inuit history with

assimilation policies dating back to our grandparent’s generation.

This included relocations, the introduction of dependencies with the

federal government, and the breakdown of families due to residential

schools.

Three words encompass this period: attempted cultural genocide.

It was clear that our youth delegation celebrated the strength of

Inuit during this era. It was the strength of Inuit that prevailed and

prevented the extinction of our people, our way of life, our culture

and our language. We are here and we celebrate being Inuk.

I would like to acknowledge and thank Inuit who came before

us for their perseverance and I pledge to continue to follow their

footsteps toward self-determination.

Inuit youth are dedicated to work towards a brighter future as

individuals, within our families, our communities, our regions and at

the national and international level. In our lifetime and for the benefit

of the generations to come, we will have the same quality of life as

our fellow Canadians.

How can you help? You can continue to strengthen your

relationship with Inuktut, consider practicing traditional activities,

make healthy decisions, study hard in school, set goals and follow

your heart! Be confident in yourself and do not be afraid to ask

questions. Think critically about what is happening around you and

encourage one another as we rise up.

Don’t forget to stay in touch! Connect with me or your regional

council member to chat about anything #InuitYouth!

#InuitYouth! Maatalii Aneraq Okalik

MAKKUKTUQ INUK SIVULIQTIGIJAUJUQ

The Inuvialuit settlement region was busy with awesome youth projects! We had sum-

mer on the land programs for youth in each community. Whale and fish were harvested

and these programs had full attendance in each community. Mental wellness work-

shops were offered in each of the communities as well as research job opportunities

for youth. These positions are intended to help with climate change studies through a

one year contract with opportunity for extension for interested youth. The bi-annual

National Inuit Youth Summit was held in Iqaluit and we had two participants from our

region attend. Unfortunately the other Inuvialuit participants could not make it to

Iqaluit. Nevertheless it was an eye opening experience for the youth and provided a

lot of inspiration for those attending. I hope everyone had a bountiful and beautiful

summer. Quyannini and take care,

John Stuart Jr.

I am writing from Sanikiluaq, Nunavut. Although I cannot writefor the entire Qikiqtani region, I hope that this will show howyouth are making remarkable progress in sports, Inuktitut andother social aspects.

I had the opportunity to see high school students competein badminton, table tennis and soccer in regional, territorial andnational tournaments. The athletes practice for weeks. Theycompete with diligence, incredible concentration and pushthemselves to come out victorious. I see an amazing change intheir attitude when introduced to extra-curricular activities thatare rewarding. I encourage all youth to try out for activities inyour communities.

I have seen a thirst for knowledge when elders visit ourhigh school. Youth keenly ask elders for information on forgottenwords and ask for advice. We are taught from an early age to respect our elders and to assist them in any way. I am proud tosee this being passed on.

It is a new generation. We are living with the knowledgepassed down from generations before us and we have accessto this vast, diverse knowledge. I have faith that Inuit youth willcontinue to work and excel.

Linguistics is the scientific study of language. Many people have taken this on as a career. As Inuit, we hear that our language is not thriving but our language is alive and being

used in our communities. We have resources and we are exposed to Inuktut.As Inuit youth, we want to ensure that Inuktut is in our future. We desire to learn the

language of our ancestors. For years I have been on a personal voyage to learn and it’s challenging but, slowly I’m

progressing. In my personal journey of seeking balance between tradition and modern day,learning that distractions are blocking my ability to learn, has given me a new attitude. No more excuses, be patient with myself and learn.

If we want to explore the beauty of Inuktut in our many dialects, we need Inuit to pursue becoming linguists. Add Linguist and Linguistics to your vocabulary and to your career dreams. Share this term and this dream. Sarah Jancke

In the Kivalliq region, 21 participants attended a 10 day artcamp. Master stencil artist Andrew Qappik taught stencil artand veteran art camp instructors, Paul Mantrop and Rob Saleytaught water color and portraiture painting. It was a hugesuccess.

In addition, we received funding from the Governmentof Nunavut to run the Pijunnaqsiniq Culture Camp for Inuityouth. KIA Board member, Donat Milorktok helped us holdthis camp at Niaquunguut just outside of Naujaat. There were12 youth and 7 elders who attended the camp. All of the girlscompleted a pair of kamiit and three boys caught their firstring, harp and bearded seal. The participants took part in harvesting fish and hunted caribou. The youth met separatelyin gender groups to discuss issues concerning their personallives and their participation in camp.

The Siqiniq Youth Council will continue to fundraise toattend youth conferences and to run community events andprojects.

I’m Alicia Aragutak from Umiujaq and the president of the new

Nunavik Youth forum. The forum is composed of 11 motivated youth

which includes our vice president, Louisa Yeats from Kuujjuaq; our

secretary-treasurer, Aleashia Echalook from Inukjuak; two coastal rep-

resentatives from each of three coasts of Nunavik; Andy Moorhouse

as the Makivik representative and an elder seat that is yet to be filled.

Since establishing, we’ve gone through governance training,

followed by our first Board of Directors meeting. We came up with a

mission statement and discussed ways to reach out to all of the

Nunavik communities. We will structure our initiatives to take part in

the Quebec Youth Strategy. We have started lobbying for a name in

Inuttitut and have assigned ourselves seats in various organizations.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Elizabeth Annahatak,

the previous Saputiit Youth Association president for standing by her

mandate as a youth representative. Hats off to the temporary board for

preparing documents before our arrival, your experiences are greatly

valued. And, of course, Makivik and Kativik Regional Government for

your ongoing support!

I am especially elated to meet you all as we discuss youth

concerns and discover possible solutions by sharing regional realities.

I am confident that the NIYC will be a great platform to do so!

Nain is the largest community on the north coast of

Nunatsiavut. The road is a long stretch for anyone

to walk, especially for elders, children and for those

with physical disabilities.

A project lead by Kleofas Saksagiak Sr. and Levi

Noah Nochasak involving youth and elders intended

to enhance and beautify the community began in

the winter.

Twelve benches were completed by late spring

and during the summer break several youth helped

with the painting. Two of the benches are painted

with a special verse.

During summer, Levi was diagnosed with

cancer. With his determination to fight his battle, he

would quote through social media updates that he

would “BEAT THIS THING!” This quote is written on

one bench in hopes that people could reflect his

battle or any battle and find strength for him, friends,

and family members or for themselves.

The second bench is outside the primary

school and states, “Be Kind To One Another”. The

“buddy bench” is for children who may not have

any friends to play with. If a child sees another child

sitting on the bench, the purpose is to offer friend-

ship and to include them in play.

wkgcE/5y8i5 scs0J6bsiy • INUTUQARIJATSINNIT UQAUJJUQTAUNISI • FROM YOUR ELDER


I am very lucky to have my grandparents. My Ataatsiak Jacko

Merkuratsuk Sr. is 81, he was born in Itillisuak around the Muggford

Mountains in northern Labrador and my Anaansiak Minnie

Merkuratsuk is 77, she was born in Kangiqsualujjuaq, Nunavik.

My Anaansiak who came from the ukkuatsiajuak family were nomadic

around what is now the Nunavik Park area near Kangiqsualujjuaq. My

Ataatsiak’s mother Emelia was one of the four Spanish Influenza

survivors that claimed many lives in oKak, Labrador in 1918. My

Anaansiak’s immediate family crossed over to the Labrador side

where the fur trapping was great. This is how my grandparents met

at Hebron, Labrador.

After being relocated from the Nutak and Hebron area in 1956,

my grandparents moved to Nain. They continued the Inuit practices

of being out on the land, spending most of their time at Cutthroat

and Tasiujak and the summers at Nakvak, PitukKik, Saglek and

Hebron. My family would travel back Nain to get more supplies then

return to camp.

When my grandparents received a house in Nain, they made

cabins at Silotalik and Tasiujak, a place they would visit often. Being

great hunters and gatherers, my grandparents were asked to be

instructors at youth culture camps. Valuable skills and knowledge

were shared. Practices such as setting up camp, navigation, hunting,

preparing skins, and everything else that is needed to know to

survive out on the land was taught.

I am very grateful and glad for my grandparents. The love they

both have for each other is so inspiring and true.

Although my grandparents don’t go camping anymore, I have

gained valuable knowledge from them and I will pass down the

knowledge and wisdom to my son, one day he will continue their

traditions.

The 10th Biennial National Inuit Youth Summitwould not have been possible without the generous support provided by our many sponsors.

The National Inuit Youth Council and InuitTapiriit Kanatami extend their gratitude to the organizations that provided funding.

Because of your contributions, Inuit youth from across Canada joined together in Iqaluit,Nunavut for five days of learning and sharing.The Summit provided an opportunity for Inuityouth to come together to discuss issues of mutual importance.

Language and Culture, Suicide Prevention andHealth, Education and Employment, Out on theLand Programs and, Youth Political Involvementwere themes that were prominent throughoutthe summit.

We look forward to future collaborations.

Qujannamiik!

Growing up in Nunavut has given me a strong attachment to my culture, people andhistory, which I draw much of my inspiration from. I try to create art with the intent ofhaving people reflect with and have a full understanding of an important subject. I thinkthis understanding can help people in making future decisions; be it political, economic or social. My themes are selected from occurrences that mean a lot to mepersonally and themes I hope to teach to others; this results in many of my subjectsbeing centered on my Inuk heritage. I believe the importance of conveying the trueemotion of the person in the painting is as important as the entire artwork itself; Ithink that when I could not only express my topic effectively, but also truly show thefeelings of the people in the paintings, I have succeeded.
