Nuna Aliannaittuk Auttuq —Thawing of the Beautiful Lands of Inuvialuit
This article, co‐led by an Inuk scholar, Inuvialuit graduate student, and non‐Indigenous academic co‐investigators, explores the implications of climate displacement research for public administration, policy, and governance, with a specific emphasis on sensing in relation to policy. Drawing on diverse forms of evidence, we highlight the role of storytelling and sensory experience in shaping climate policy. We reflect on the outcomes of a unique …
In Pursuit of “A Good Life”
This article adopts a cross-cultural lens to understand why Inuit women enter and leave mining jobs in Inuit Nunangat (Inuit homelands), Canada, using Nunavik as a case study. Previous research has often depicted Indigenous women as either victims of mining or as anti-mining activists. Interviews with ten Nunavimmiut women (Inuit women of Nunavik), who had worked or were currently working at one of two mines in Nunavik, complicate these portrayal…
Indigenous Pedagogies in a Global World and Sustainable Futures
The relationship between Indigenous learning systems and sustainability pedagogies has not been sufficiently elaborated despite the recognition of Indigenous peoples as stewards of the world's biological, cultural and linguistic diversity. Indigenous pedagogies are intergenerational, relational, and land-based. This special section addresses intergenerational efforts to regenerate local biocultural knowledge in settings that extend beyond the cla…

The notions of resilience that have emerged in developmental psychology and psychiatry in recent years require systematic rethinking to address the distinctive cultures, geographic and social settings, and histories of adversity of indigenous peoples. In Canada, the overriding social realities of indigenous peoples include their historical rootedness to a specific place (with traditional lands, communities, and transactions with the environment) …
Men's and women's spheres among couples from Maniitsoq (Greenland)

The focus of the study was to figure out what gender roles look like in Kalaallit eyes. Seven couples were interviewed about what work entails in different contexts. All the women interviewed have a job, and they describe their activities in their own homes. They are involved in social…
