A new dawn rises in the #Arctic: the #Inuit plan to reclaim their sea
By Ossie Michelin in Rigolet, #Nunatsiavut , Sun 27 Aug 2023
Excerpt: "While there are other Inuit-led marine conservation programs in Canada, this will be the first to bear the title of #InuitProtectedArea. This #ConservationZone, which is now the subject of a feasibility study, would span nearly 15,000 sq km (5,800 sq miles) of the #LabradorSea bordering the #TorngatMountains national park.
"Built on Inuit values and culture, this type of conservation area would allow Indigenous people to continue traditional practices of hunting and fishing.
That was not always the case. Past conservation policies saw Inuit at best only consulted and at worst completely ignored. Many Inuit hunters and fishers faced fines, had their equipment confiscated and their catches from hunting and fishing taken."Despite being granted the power to self-govern in 2005 (after 30 years of negotiations with the Canadian government), Nunatsiavut still lacked the final say over conservation in its waters. Final decisions defaulted to federal or provincial ministers.
"Now, at last, Nunatsiavut can jointly create and co-manage the protected area, based on Inuit priorities, as an equal authority. This will allow Inuit to practise #TraditionalHunting and #fishing in the area, while protecting the waters from industry and development.
" 'Just because we’re small doesn’t mean we can’t do something,' says #JamesGoudie, deputy minister of lands and natural resources in the Nunatsiavut government. 'We can show the world that a small region can protect a massive amount of #BioDiversity.'
"The Inuit Protected Area would only cover about a third of Nunatsiavut’s nearly 50,000 sq km of offshore waters, but the region is home to important populations of fish such as #salmon and #ArcticChar, the breeding grounds for many #MigratoryBirds, and the habitat of Arctic marine mammals including #PolarBears, #BelugaWhales and #Seals.
"Establishing a protected area is also a pre-emptive strike against #ResourceExploitation. Significant #NaturalGas deposits have been found offshore along the #LabradorShelf, but it has remained largely unexplored because of the ice. As the climate warms, however, the region is becoming more accessible – the Inuit Protected Area would prevent such resource exploration."

Nalujuk Night is an up close look at an exhilarating, and sometimes terrifying, #Labrador #Inuit tradition. Every January 6th from the dark of the #Nunatsiavut night, the #Nalujuit appear on the sea ice. They walk on two legs, yet their faces are animalistic, skeletal, and otherworldly. Snow crunches underfoot as they approach their destination: the Inuit community of #Nain.
Despite the frights, Nalujuk Night is a beloved annual event, showing that sometimes it can be fun to be scared. Rarely witnessed outside of Nunatsiavut, this annual event is an exciting chance for Inuit, young and old, to prove their courage and come together as a community to celebrate #culture and #tradition.
#Inuk filmmaker Jennie Williams brings audiences directly into the action in this bone-chilling black and white short #documentary about a winter night like no other.

The search for the earliest traces of life on Earth
uOttawa team explores carbon in 3.9-billion-year-old Canadian rocksThe isotopic composition of carbon in iron formations from the Saglek-Hebron Complex in #Nunatsiavut (northern Labrador) has been seen as evidence of the earliest traces of life on #Earth. But a new study suggests otherwise.

Bei uns kommt der Frühling, anderswo ist tiefer Winter. Die Zeit, die #Miertsching in Okak im arktischen Labrador (#Nunatsiavut) verbrachte, war nicht ganz einfach. Trinkwasser holten die Inuit mit dem Lastschlitten aus Becks Teich, der natürlich zugefroren und mit einer dicken Schneedecke bedeckt war. Immer noch komfortabel, verglichen mit den Wintern auf #HMSInvestigator, wo Eisbrocken geschmolzen werden mussten.

Neulich in einem Zeitschriftenarchiv gefunden - was wir noch gar nicht wussten: #Miertsching hielt einen Vortrag in Hamburg. Einst (am 16. Oktober 1856).
Und nun halten wir einen Vortrag - im Schifffahrtsmuseum Rostock, über ihn. Nächste Woche (8. Februar 2024).

Is it possible that the Christmas tree tradition started even earlier, in #Labrador (#Nunatsiavut ) with the #Moravian Mission Station in #Nain, founded already 1771 – a full ten years before the claim by the town of Sorel, Quebec ? The Moravian archival records, as they mostly are in German language, have not yet been fully explored in this respect. -

#Inuit group calls for bigger role in #ClimateAction
The Inuit Circumpolar Council is seeking to bring the effects of #Arctic #CimateChange on their communities to the attention of participants of the #COP28 conference in Dubai
Alaska Beacon, via Indian Country Today
Dec 8, 2023"The #InuitCircumpolarCouncil includes representatives in #Alaska, #Canada, #Greenland and #Russia. It is one of the six international #Indigenous organizations that have decision-making power at the eight-nation #ArcticCouncil. The Inuit Circumpolar Council has a COP 28 delegation, to include Alaska members.
"One key issue highlighted in the position paper is the Loss and Damage Fund that was created at last year’s COP 27 held in Egypt. As it is structured now, the fund is focused on helping poorer nations in the #GlobalSouth address the impacts of climate change.
"That leaves a big gap, said Inuit Circumpolar Chair #SaraOlsvig of Greenland.
"'This means that as it is structured now, Inuit and other Arctic #IndigenousPeoples will not have access to the fund, although we are among those most impacted by climate change,' Olsvig said by email. Given the rapid rate of Arctic warming and associated effects, 'the inclusion of Inuit in any policy and decision-making is of great importance,' she said."

#Inuit group calls for bigger role in #ClimateAction
The Inuit Circumpolar Council is seeking to bring the effects of #Arctic #CimateChange on their communities to the attention of participants of the #COP28 conference in Dubai
Alaska Beacon, via Indian Country Today
Dec 8, 2023"The #InuitCircumpolarCouncil includes representatives in #Alaska, #Canada, #Greenland and #Russia. It is one of the six international #Indigenous organizations that have decision-making power at the eight-nation #ArcticCouncil. The Inuit Circumpolar Council has a COP 28 delegation, to include Alaska members.
"One key issue highlighted in the position paper is the Loss and Damage Fund that was created at last year’s COP 27 held in Egypt. As it is structured now, the fund is focused on helping poorer nations in the #GlobalSouth address the impacts of climate change.
"That leaves a big gap, said Inuit Circumpolar Chair #SaraOlsvig of Greenland.
"'This means that as it is structured now, Inuit and other Arctic #IndigenousPeoples will not have access to the fund, although we are among those most impacted by climate change,' Olsvig said by email. Given the rapid rate of Arctic warming and associated effects, 'the inclusion of Inuit in any policy and decision-making is of great importance,' she said."
