Undermining Assessment
This paper contributes to the literature about environmental impact assessment follow-up, with case studies of stakeholder advisory groups associated with three mining projects in Nunavut, Canada. Based on an analysis of regulatory documents, we conclude that stakeholder advisory groups, as constituted and currently operating in Nunavut, are undermining aspects of the environmental assessment process. For example, potential impacts to wildlife th…
The effects of resource extraction on Inuit women and their families
This article presents the findings from research conducted by Pauktuutit, an Inuit women’s organisation, and the University of British Colombia into the gendered social impacts of resource extraction in Qamani’tuaq, Nunavut Territory, Canada. The research used a range of different methods and contributes to a growing body of global evidence on the social impacts of resource extraction on indigenous women and families. It reveals the complex effec…
The Contradiction of Helping
Significant differences in privilege, material resources, and decision-making power exist between Inuit and Qallunaat (or non-Inuit) in Canada’s Nunavut Territory. Holding serious implications, the disproportionate advantages afforded Qallunaat require an examination of the relationship between social work and the State (as employer). The role of credentialism and professionalism in the maintenance of neocolonial relations reveals a professional …
Unequal exchange
For some time, Inuit have made it clear that they wish to play a more substantial role in research with implications for themselves and their territory. To understand how researchers communicate and relate to each other, cultural analysis is often employed. Although cultural differences are relevant to understanding problems in the conduct of research, limiting differences to these realities is overly deterministic and essentialist. Many differen…
Skin for Skin
maintains the nation-state close to the center of the analysis. More references to other dimensions of the LASHIPA project-which was indeed a thoroughly international endeavor-would have helped to overcome this relatively narrow national focus. This book needs to be recognized as one important part of a broader research project that certainly seems to be achieving the author's stated goals. As it stands, some revisions to the doctoral dissertatio…
Wistful thinking
This article interrogates discourse about Inuit in relation to employment issues and the Inuit response to "what was good for them" at the intersection of colonial and postcolonial thought in the 1970s. Attempts to integrate Inuit with a modern industrial economy occurred after Inuit had moved, or been moved, from land-based hunting and trapping camps to new settlements developing in the eastern Arctic. We examine the planning stage (1970-1976) o…
Structural violence and the 1962-1963 tuberculosis epidemic in Eskimo Point, N.W.T.
In the winter of 1962-1963, an epidemic of tuberculosis broke out in Eskimo Point, an Inuit community on the west coast of Hudson Bay in the Canadian Arctic. The outbreak was made possible by bad living conditions, among the worst ever documented in the history of the Canadian Arctic. The epidemic reveals the intersection of social attitudes, the economic logic of a postwar Canadian welfare state, and the difficult transition being made by Inuit …

Mad dogs and (mostly) Englishmen
The Qikiqtani Truth Commission was created by the Qikiqtani Inuit Association to examine events affecting Qikiqtanimiut between 1950 and 1980. Paramount among these was the fate of Inuit sled dogs. Dogs, unlike the snowmobiles that have replaced them, had no exchange value in a market economy. They enabled existential relations dependent upon traditional and personal skills rooted in Inuit culture and personality. It is understandable that their …
Culture as a problem in linking material inequality to health
Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit
The creation of the Nunavut government has been accompanied by an emphasis on Inuit knowledge—Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit (IQ)—in the making of policy and in procedures affecting Nunavutmiut (Nunavummiut). Definitions of IQ parallel those of traditional ecological knowledge (TEK), indigenous knowledge (IK), and traditional knowledge (TK). The extent to which cosmologies and belief systems are incorporated into definitions of these terms and the exten…
A Voice of Presence
Face à la problématique de la souveraineté dans l'Arctique, l'État canadien s'est attaqué, souvent avec réticence, aux préoccupations des Inuits en matière de santé et de bien-être. Coincé entre la crainte de susciter la dépendance et celle d'être accusé de négliger ses responsabilités, le gouvernement canadien a, durant la période 1900–1930, tenté dans la confusion et l'incohérence de concilier les intérêts commerciaux – en particulier ceux de l…
Charity Development in China An Overview
While benefiting from the wealth generated by economic reform, China has also faced increasing social and environmental problems. With the restructuring of state enterprises, the previous occupational-based welfare system has been abolished. To decentralize the state's role in social protection while tackling social problems, the Chinese government has tried to experiment with different social measures to diversify welfare financing and provision…
Why Don't they Get It?’ Talk of Medicine as Science. St Luke's Hospital, Panniqtuuq, Baffin Island
Using diaries, clinical notes and other sources, this contribution explores interactions between Dr J. A. Bildfell and Inuit at Panniqtuuq, Baffin Island, in 1933 and 1934. The article comprises a record of conflict, with two cultures colliding over the provision of health care. Scientific and technological advances in medicine were perceived by Bildfell as possessing the potential to address many of the problems diagnosed among Inuit. However, t…
Art and disarmament
Following the Renamo/Frelimo conflict and the 1992 Rome Accord ending hostilities, the Christian Council of Mozambique undertook to remove arms from the civilian population by trading them for development tools. The weapons were given to artists associated with a collective in the capital, Maputo. The weapons were cut into pieces and converted to sculptures that subsequently focused international attention on the Tools for Arms project, or TAE (T…

Aboriginal Peoples and Politics
Aboriginal claims remain a controversial but little understood issue in contemporary Canada. British Columbia has been, and remains, the setting for the most intense and persistent demands by Native people, and also for the strongest and most consistent opposition to Native claims by governments and the non-aboriginal public. Land has been the essential question; the Indians have claimed continuing ownership while the province has steadfastly den…
