Two elders, George Agiaq Kappianaq and Cornelius Nutaraq, describe how Inuit would travel and live in the north prior to the arrival of settlers from the south and subsequent development of permanent settlements.Centuries of Inuit traditions and practices emerged from interactions between nomadic groups as they travelled across vast territory. The transition to permanent settlements has therefore profoundly affected the tradition of these nomadic interactions. https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/E2626036892393407029175297205149/Table-5-Book-Tumivut-8.png TUMIVUT 8: Salluit – The Cultural Magazine of the Nunavik Inuit TUMIVUT 8: Salluit – The Cultural Magazine of the Nunavik Inuit.

The program identifies the unique circumstances of designing for extreme northern climates while outlining an intent to implement significant cost-cutting measures to provide housing far below the southern Canadian standard of the time. This is in accordance with the overall philosophy of housing administrators at the time. https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/Z2631158383606868178104940192669/Table-2-Book-A-tenants-handbook.png You and Your Home: A Tenant’s Handbook You and Your Home: A Tenant’s Handbook.

Department of National Health and Welfare, 1960. A study by the Department of National Health and Welfare conducted over a period of five years in the late 1950s documented homes of Inuit families in the Eastern Arctic ranging from seal skin tents at camp and self-built cabins to government-supplied housing. Through a series of photographs government researchers made deliberate observations of the living conditions of Inuit families to explain how mortality rates in the north were rising because of their lack of knowledge of shelter, sanitation, and disease in Inuit communities rather than as an effect of colonialism. This study reveals the deep-rooted discriminatory assumptions held by government officials, which would inform approaches to housing policy in the north for decades. https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/Z2631192130209603830874633364381/Table-2-Book-KI-Magazine-fall-1999.png Kinatuinamut Ilingajuk: How The North Was Lost Kinatuinamut Ilingajuk: How The North Was Lost.

Kinatuinamut Ilingajuk was (“to whom it may concern”) was an Inuit-led periodical published in Labrador from 1972 to 2003 and presented in both English and Inuktitut. This issue from fall 1999 is about the people of Hebron and Nutak from the Nunatsiavut region (Labrador) who were forcibly resettled between 1956-1959 by the Canadian government and church missionaries. The stories in this issue emerged from interviews with those who experienced these relocations, many as children, and who now reside Nain, Hopedale, Makkovik, and Happy Valley-Goose Bay. These stories reveal the profound effect these eviction policies had on the Inuit of Nunatsiavut and how the loss of connection to the land and traditional food impeded Inuit ways of life. https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/B2631247196046506863099901076381/Table-1-base-03112025-2-crop.png https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/M2632422546172469682423909802909/Table-1-Book-Federal-Housing-Advocate-s-Observational-Report.png Federal Housing Advocate’s Observational Report: Inuit Housing Federal Housing Advocate’s Observational Report: Inuit HousingCanadian Human Rights Comission, 2022.

Department of National Health and Welfare, 1960. A study by the Department of National Health and Welfare conducted over a period of five years in the late 1950s documented homes of Inuit families in the Eastern Arctic ranging from seal skin tents at camp and self-built cabins to government-supplied housing. Through a series of photographs government researchers made deliberate observations of the living conditions of Inuit families to explain how mortality rates in the north were rising because of their lack of knowledge of shelter, sanitation, and disease in Inuit communities rather than as an effect of colonialism. This study reveals the deep-rooted discriminatory assumptions held by government officials, which would inform approaches to housing policy in the north for decades. https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/Z2631192130209603830874633364381/Table-2-Book-KI-Magazine-fall-1999.png Kinatuinamut Ilingajuk: How The North Was Lost Kinatuinamut Ilingajuk: How The North Was Lost.

Kinatuinamut Ilingajuk was (“to whom it may concern”) was an Inuit-led periodical published in Labrador from 1972 to 2003 and presented in both English and Inuktitut. This issue from fall 1999 is about the people of Hebron and Nutak from the Nunatsiavut region (Labrador) who were forcibly resettled between 1956-1959 by the Canadian government and church missionaries. The stories in this issue emerged from interviews with those who experienced these relocations, many as children, and who now reside Nain, Hopedale, Makkovik, and Happy Valley-Goose Bay. These stories reveal the profound effect these eviction policies had on the Inuit of Nunatsiavut and how the loss of connection to the land and traditional food impeded Inuit ways of life. https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/B2631247196046506863099901076381/Table-1-base-03112025-2-crop.png https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/M2632422546172469682423909802909/Table-1-Book-Federal-Housing-Advocate-s-Observational-Report.png Federal Housing Advocate’s Observational Report: Inuit Housing Federal Housing Advocate’s Observational Report: Inuit HousingCanadian Human Rights Comission, 2022.
