Nunatsiavut Silatâni Kanuingisianinginnik inositsiagillutillu.
We trust that this edition of Nunatsiavut Silatâni will find everyone
safe and in good health.
Daniel (Danny) Pottle and Patricia
(Pat) Ford would like to thank the
constituents of Canada for your
overwhelming support in re-electing us to be your representatives
in the Nunatsiavut Assembly (NA)
for the next four years. Danny has
been reappointed as Minister of
Finance, Human Resources and Information Technology, and Pat has
been appointed as Deputy Speaker
of the NA. We look forward to
working on your behalf, and with
you over the next four years.
Updating Names and
Addresses
As you may be aware, and as
per the Registrar of Beneficiaries (Don Dicker), Beneficiaries of the Labrador Inuit Land
Claims Agreement are required
under Inuit Law to maintain
current and up to date correspondence information, including legal name, and permanent
mailing address.
Current phone numbers and/
or email addresses are other
excellent ways to stay in touch,
especially if names and/or addresses are not kept up to date.
Although maintaining a phone
number and/or email address
is not required, maintaining
current names and mailing addresses is required under Inuit
Law.
The Registrar kindly requests
that you contact the Membership Office to update your name
1
and mailing address, now and
any time down the road wherein
your address and/or name may
change.
The Membership Clerks can be
reached the following ways:
Sheila Angnatok
toll free number: 1-866-9222942 ext. 271, or via email:
sheila_angnatok@nunatsiavut.
com
Ashley Edmunds
toll free number: 1-866-9222942 ext. 226, or via email:

Please be prepared to have
various personal information
ready, possibly including but not
limited to: date of birth, beneficiary number, last known mailing address, etc.
Residential School Law Suit Update
The following is a copy of the
letter from Steven Cooper updating claimants on the Residential
Schools Class Action Lawsuit:
“I’m writing to report on a recent
decision of the Newfoundland
and Labrador Court of Appeal.
Some of you may have already
heard about the decision on the
news, but I wanted to make sure
that you had some more detail.
Those of you who have read my
previous reports will recall that
Canada has made a number of
court applications trying to narrow the issues and undermine
parts of our claim on your behalf.
Each attempt has failed except
one. Canada asked to argue that
some of the survivors should not
be allowed to be included in the
claim. The Court was prepared
to listen to that argument, but we
worried it would further delay the
trial set for this November.
We appealed that decision and
the Court of Appeal recently
agreed that the matter must
proceed to trial as scheduled
with no further applications or
delays. The trial is scheduled
for November 17, 2014 to go
until the holidays re-convene in
January 2015 for a few weeks,
if necessary. Full credit goes to
Kirk Baert and Celeste Poltak
who argued the case before the
Court of Appeal.
We are also looking to identify
a group of witnesses, survivors
mostly, who can talk about each
of the schools and their experiences. We are looking for a good
mix of people in terms of when
they went to various schools,
their individual group (Inuit, Innu
and Métis), the schools that they
attended and their experiences.
We need to show that the government did not carry out their
responsibilities. I expect that
we will also want some people
who are first language speakers
other than English although the
majority will probably be English
speaking. We will need people
that are comfortable taking the
stand in court, and with taking
the time with us to prepare. We
will be in touch with a few of you
to ask if you would be prepared
to participate.
We continue to hope that Canada will put its money where its
mouth has been for the last decade and approach us with the
intent to settle. We still do not
understand why the people in
Newfoundland and Labrador are
being treated so differently than
in the rest of the country. We do
not understand why the Government of Canada wants to put
survivors through a trial, nor do
we understand why the Federal
Government seems to want to
spend whatever it takes and use
up whatever time they can to
avoid healing this wound.
We encourage all of you to contact your political representatives
and press them to get the Government to sit down with us and
settle this claim fairly.
If you have any questions please
feel free to contact me or my
staff at any time.”
Sincerely,
AHLSTROM WRIGHT OLIVER

Arctic Inspiration Prize
The Nunatsiavut Government
has been awarded the Arctic
Inspiration Prize for its initiative, SakKijânginnatuk Nunalik: Healthy Homes in Thriving
Nunatsiavut Communities.
The prize, with an associated
award of $350,000, was one of
three announced at a ceremony
coinciding with ArcticNet’s ninth
Annual Scientific Meeting in
Halifax on December 11/14.
“The Nunatsiavut Government
is proud and thrilled to be honored with this significant award,”
says President Sarah Leo. “It
will help us and our partners
develop sustainable housing
solutions for Nunatsiavummiut
and our communities.”
“SakKijânginnatuk Nunalik is an
outstanding example of using
research for the betterment of
Inuit,” adds the President. “I
want to commend the dedicated
team of professionals for their
hard work with this initiative,
and to thank them for making
this award possible.”
The broad-based SakKijânginnatuk Nunalik (Sustainable
Communities) initiative aims
to build on Inuit knowledge of
the current housing situation
in Nunatsiavut by demonstrating not only the feasibility and
best practices for planning and
implementation of subarctic sustainable communities, but also
the socio-economic benefits of
energy security, healthy homes
designed and built by Inuit, for
Inuit.
“Housing is the most fundamental issue facing our communities
today,” said SakKijânginnatuk
Nunalik team leader Isabella
Pain, in accepting the award
on behalf of the Nunatsiavut
Government. “We are in a
crisis situation, and while the
consequences of this crisis are
felt most powerfully by Nunatsiavut’s homeless and most
vulnerable households, the
implications extend throughout
the region, touching all areas of
community life and affecting the
lives of all Nunatsiavummiut.”
SakKijânginnatuk Nunalik plans
to use the prize money to help
build and monitor Nunatsiavut’s
first sustainable, multi-unit residential dwelling and establish a
prototype for Northern housing
development that addresses
changing climate, infrastructure
requirements and Inuit housing needs and preferences that
could potentially be applied
across the country.

the gathering of Arctic knowledge and their plans to implement this knowledge into real
world applications for the benefit of the Canadian Arctic, its
Peoples and therefore Canada
as a whole. The Prize is made
possible through the generous
endowment of the S. and A.
Inspiration Foundation, the commitment of ArcticNet to voluntarily manage the Prize, as well

Fourth Meeting of the Ungava Peninsula Caribou
Aboriginal Round Table is a Success
(Participants of the Ungava Peninsula Caribou Aboriginal Round Table)
KUUJJUARAPIK, QC, May 29,
2014 - The Aboriginal Roundtable is pleased to report that their
fourth meeting held in Whapmagoostui - Kuujjuarapik on
May 21st and 22nd, 2014 was
a success and good progress is
being made towards the conservation of Ungava caribou.
Since the inaugural meeting of
the UPCART in January 2013
in Kuujjuaq, great efforts have
been made by the members
to develop their own conservation measures and actions
while ensuring that the cultural
and spiritual relationship with
caribou and the food security of
members are respected. These
efforts reported by the Aboriginal Groups at the Round Table
have resulted in a reduction
of the hunting pressure from
the UPCART members on the
George River Herd, which is in
a critical state.
“In the 18 months since the
inaugural meeting, members
of UPCART continue to build
their relationship and strengthen
the trust around the table. This
is leading to real results, and I
have faith that we will achieve a
true model of leadership in managing Ungava Caribou”, says
Sarah Leo, President of the
Government of Nunatsiavut and
Co-Chair of the UPCART.
Discussions regarding access
to the Leaf River Caribou Herd
by the members of the UPCART
Page 10
were also held, as the members reiterated the need to find
alternate means to access this
important food source while
being respectful of the wellbeing of the communities, their
populations and their territorial
responsibilities.
“Sharing is a strong cultural
value for our Peoples, and it is
important to come to an agreement between the members on
how we can ensure our collective food security and maintain
our cultural relationship while
protecting and conserving the
Ungava Caribou”, says Adamie
Delisle-Alaku, Vice-President,
Renewable Resources, Makivik
Corporation and Co-Chair of the
UPCART.
Ungava Peninsula
Caribou ...
... continued
The UPCART is also continuing its work
in developing a conservation plan for the
Ungava caribou herds that will be based
on preserving the Aboriginal relationship
and respect for caribou.
Finally, the UPCART also acknowledges
the work of the Torngat Wildlife, Plans
and Fisheries Secretariat, who attended
the meeting and provided good insights
and recommendations for the management of the Ungava Caribou Herds.

Governor General’s
Leadership Conference 2015
The following is information
about special opportunities at
the 2015 leadership conference
for individuals of First Nations,
Inuit or Métis heritage. The
2015 Conference is approaching rapidly and the application
process is open until September
30, 2014.
The Canadian Leadership Conference occurs only once every
three to four years. It brings together 240 emerging Canadian
leaders from business, labour,
government, and NGOs for two
weeks of unique interaction
across the country designed to
improve the quality and relevance of their future decisionmaking. All members share one
thing in common: they are high
potential individuals selected on
the basis they are expected to
achieve senior leadership positions in their organizations and
communities within ten years.
Each Conference has 15-20
members from First Nations,
Metis and Inuit communities.
For 2015, however, the Conference has agreed to put a
special emphasis on outreach
to emerging Aboriginal leaders across Canada. In fact, the
total Conference membership
is being increased by at least
20 positions in order to double
the number of Aboriginal participants in 2015.
We would greatly appreciate
any help you might provide
creating awareness of this opportunity inside Suncor and
in communities where Suncor
operates.
Worth noting - there is no cost
for individuals attending the
Conference: travel, accommodation and meals are covered
for everyone. For anyone who
may have difficulty accessing
funds to travel to and from the
opening and closing plenaries,
the Conference will make a
number of bursaries available,
on request.
The core information on the
Conference is available at www.
leadershipcanada.ca. The application form also is available
at the conference website. In
addition, for those who have
questions about the value of
the experience, or who wish to
discuss whether they have the
right qualifications, they can call
or email me at any time at the
number below.
With best wishes,

Bridging the Divide:
The Aboriginal Patient Navigator Program
For most patients, a visit to the
hospital will evoke a range of
emotions— many of which are
unwelcome. To some, the health
care system can even feel like
an intimidating, complex maze.
Far from their communities and
culture, some of our Aboriginal
patients may feel particularly
isolated during a hospital stay
in St. John’s. Surrounded by the
unfamiliar, any gesture or support that makes them feel more
at home can help make the
experience a little more comfortable.
Enter Eastern Health’s Aboriginal Patient Navigator (APN)
program. Since its introduction
in 2009, it has been breaking
down cultural and geographical
barriers, and supporting Aboriginal patients, as they make
their way through the acute care
system.
In an effort to provide culturally-sensitive health care, the
APN program offers support
to Aboriginal patients who
are referred to St. John’s for
medical treatment— providing
a valuable link between their
own communities and Eastern
Health care providers.
The journey through our health
care facilities has many stages:
from tests to diagnosis — to
treatment to the return home
— and ultimately, hopefully, the
road back to health. The road to
recovery also stretches from the
busy corridors of a city hospital to the wide open spaces
in places like Conne River or
Natuashish.

The inuksuk, a stone figure in
the shape of a human being, is
one of the most powerful symbols of the Inuit culture. It is
used as a navigational tool- to
show direction- and is a welcome sight to travelers making
their way through a forbidding or
unfamiliar landscape.
The traditional meaning of the
word inuksuk is “you are on the
right path” or “someone was
here.”

senior patient navigator, works
towards guiding Aboriginal
patients down the right path
within the health care system.
As a member of the Nunatsiavut
Government, and one of the first
individuals involved in the implementation of the APN program,
Katie understands the different
needs of Aboriginal patients.
“Before coming here, I was
exposed to the challenges in
Aboriginal health care, in my
own personal and professional
experiences,” Katie says. “So I
understand how some patients
feel completely lost when they
get here. That’s where we come
in— to work as liaisons, and be
there for them from beginning to
end.
“Every day is different— different patients, different needs.”
Aboriginal patient navigators do
a number of things to help their
patients feel more at ease in the
hospital setting:
they provide referral, advocacy
and support to Aboriginal patients to help them access the
most appropriate health care
and community services;
they arrange services for clients’
if they require interpretation
in their own language— InnuAimun and Inuktitut— to make
sure they understand the care
they are given;
they escort patients to medical

vited representatives of the APN
program to speak at a national

behind their innovative practice.
While national recognition is a
positive thing, Katie and Solomon measure their success
by the impact their program is
having on those who depend on
them.

Solomon Semigak is another

working with the APN program,
Solomon has developed an appreciation for the challenges Aboriginal patients face when far

“We emphasize the importance
of Aboriginal traditions and
values,” says Solomon. “It is
because of this that our patients
are forever grateful for what we
do— that is a great feeling.

the words of one patient that are
particularly memorable:

Nunatsiavut President Sarah
Leo says Labrador will always have a special place for
Winston White, just as he has
had for his native land.
“Winston was a true son of
Labrador,” she says. “He was
a well-known figure throughout the region, particularly
Nunatsiavut, and was very
passionate about Labrador
and especially his Inuit roots.”
Mr. White passed away on
June 13, 2014 following a
battle with cancer. He was
72.
A former broadcaster, writer,
author and community activist, Mr. White previously
worked as Director of Communications with the Labrador Inuit Association, playing
an integral communications
role leading up to the initialing
of the Agreement-in-Principle
for the Labrador Inuit Land
Claims Agreement.
Mr. White is also credited with
coining the phrase “The Big
Land”, in reference to Labrador.
“Winston had a deep connection with his father’s
homestead, a place he would
frequent from time to time,”
Winston White Fondly Remembered
notes President Leo. “In fact, he was a strong advocate for having the homestead declared as a heritage site and, at one time, was actively pursuing interested parties to make it a reality.
“On behalf of the Nunatsiavut Government and Labrador Inuit, I want to extend deepest condolences
to Winston’s family and many friends,” adds the President. “He will be sadly missed, but fondly remembered.”

Dental Surgery Grad Getting Back to Roots
Inuit woman says she wants
to give back to community
As one of few Inuit women to
obtain a doctor of dentistry,
Stacey Shiwak may very well
become known as the tooth
fairy in coastal Labrador
communities.

Abriel
The 41-year-old single mother
from Happy Valley-Goose
Bay is about to embark upon
a stage in her life she’s been
working towards for almost 20
years — providing access to
oral care for children along the
coast of Labrador.
She convocated Friday afternoon at Dalhousie University
in Halifax from the doctor of
dental surgery program and
is ready to wage war on tooth
decay.
“In general, it’s the most common chronic disease in children today and this affects an
individual’s growth and development as well as their attitude
toward health as an adult,” Shiwak told The Telegram Friday
as she hurried around her
room getting prepared for the
ceremony.
“Historically, the communities in
Nunatsiavut had limited access
to dental care, which is core
in reducing the disease,” she
said.
In 2012, Health Canada and
the First Nations Governance
Information Centre released
the First Nations Regional
Health Survey. It identified
several priority health issues
for First Nations communities,
including: 40 per cent have
persistent oral pain, 55
Page 16
per cent brush teeth daily compared to 74 per cent of non-Aboriginal Canadians, 23 per cent
have untreated root caries (decay and crumbling) compared to
seven per cent of non-Aboriginal
Canadians, 44.7 per cent have
calculus (tartar) compared to
10.7 per cent of non-Aboriginal
Canadians and 39 per cent have
no access to oral health care.
Over the past 10 years, Shiwak
said, efforts from people such as
Michelle Kinney, Deputy Minister
of Health and Social Development for the Nunatsiavut Government, have resulted in dentists being hired to periodically
service the Inuit communities to
create stability in oral care in the
population. It has met with some
success, she said.
Messages left by The Telegram
for the Nunatsiavut government
were not returned.
“We have people in Nunatsiavut
who have been trying to increase
access to dental care because it
was lacking for a very long time.
Dental surgery grad getting back to roots
And I’m a part of this as well.
I have a return-in-service contract withthem, so I will be going
back home and servicing three
of the communities along the
coast of Labrador — Rigolet,
Postville and Makkovik,” she
said.
But Shiwak is quick to point out
that, contract or not, coastal
Labrador is where her roots are
and it is where she wants to
be. Both her parents are from
Rigolet, but she and her siblings
were born in Happy ValleyGoose Bay.
She left home at the age of 23
to complete the dental therapy
program, which she graduated
from in 1998. After a short time
working, she went back to Dalhousie to do the dental hygiene
program. She graduated in
2004.
At that time, Shiwak told her
family she wasn’t ready to stop
there. For the next 10 years —
between working and school
— she persevered to reach her
dream.
“The fact I’ve done 12 years
post-secondary education is
actually a really great feeling,
to be able to take that and to
return home and be able to give
something back to my community after all these years,” she
said.
“I miss the lifestyle. I miss my
family. I fully enjoy the coast of
Labrador. The people are wonderful and it’s such rewarding
work. I’m coming back to the
things I love the most,” she said.
girl she knew she wanted to do
something to help people. Her
late Aunt Carroll helped her find
her way to dentistry, she said.
“I’ll be hunting and fishing, going
to the cabin, out on the Ski-Doo
in the winter, ice fishing. My dad
takes me hunting. Fresh wild
meat, the traditional way of life
and being near my family is so
close to my heart,” Shiwak says
when asked what she misses
most.
She said her aunt told her about
the dental therapy program
and from there she did some
research, applied for the program, got accepted, graduated,
practised up north, went back to
school and hasn’t looked back.
Most of her family was able to
fly into Halifax for her convocation, but her mom had to stay
home because of an illness.
Shiwak said she will send lots
of photos and video to her mom
back home.
Her dad, one of her sisters, two
nieces and her 18-year-old son
were by her side for the special
day.
“I would eventually like to end
up with my own dental clinic in
Happy Valley-Goose Bay, and
improve access to dental care
in the region, and in conjunction
with that continue to travel the
coast. It’s my home. It’s who I
am. It’s part of me,” said Shiwak, who will return to Labrador
June 28.
“It’s something I would like to
continue with until I’m too old to
do it,” she said, laughing.
Shiwak said that even as a little
Page 17
“Through school and work, it really dawned on me that I found
my calling. I never swayed from
that decision from that point
on and everything I’ve done
since is to be here today,” said
Shiwak, who has practised in
Nunavut, Nain and Conne River
over the years.
She said believing in yourself
and not being afraid is key to
getting where you want to be.
“It is so important. I always
thought you work from the inside out. You have to have courage, ambition (and) motivation
to go after your dreams, and
by accomplishing that you may
inspire others,” Shiwak said.
“When you are able to inspire
others, including single moms, it
feels great, and we need to encourage our children to pursue
their dreams.”

The Blake Sisters
Tabitha and Sherry
Blake performing at
Nunatsiavut Day celebrations in St. John’s,
NL
“The Blake Sisters” is a group of
Inuit whose home town is Rigolet, Nunatsiavut. They are the
daughters of Bertha and William
Blake. The sisters currently
reside in St. John’s, NL. The
Blake Sisters began performing
as a group around four years
ago. From oldest to youngest
they are Brenda, Josephine,
Sherry and Tabitha. Before the
group was formed, each sister
followed different paths in learning more about their Inuit heritage. Some took language lessons, researched old traditions
online, spoke to Elders, but all
joined an Inuit Drum Group. It
was through the drum group
that they were introduced to the
Kilaut and throat singing. At that
point a love of the art was born!
The girls learned the basic
methods of throat singing from
the drum group but furthered
their skills by listening to cd’s
and videos online. This allowed
them to learn different techniques of throat singing and
helped in broadening their skills.
The Blake Sisters initially start-
ed out with a local drum group,
but branched out delivering programs at such places as “The
Room’s Corp” in St. John’s, NL.
The program allowed the girls to
become more in tune with their
culture and developed each sister’s skills sets, which helped to
further the group’s success.
The sisters also sing in their
native tongue, Inuktitut. The
love of singing comes natural to
Sherry; she sets the tones for
the rest to follow. The girls give
a lot of credit to their former-fellow drum group members since
it was they in part who awakened and instilled a joy and love
of their Inuit heritage.
The Blake Sisters have performed in a variety of capacities
which include: conferences,
social functions and fundraising events. Some of their past
performances include a “Land &
Sea” TV episode called “Heartbeat”; a drum making and throat
singing workshop at Ecole
Des Grands-Vents; The IAWP
conference (The International
Page 18
Association of Women’s Police);
and are also featured on the
“Hey Rosetta” album Seeds in
the song “Parson Brown” throat
singing, to name a few.
The Blake Sisters say that “to
be a part of the group makes
us proud and honored as not
only do we get to showcase our
traditional Inuit culture, but we
get to provide a service and instill some knowledge and allow
others to get a glimpse of what
it’s like to be Inuit. We hope to
keep broadening the audiences’
knowledge on what our unique
culture has to offer. The more
we learn and grow as Inuit, it
makes us realize how lucky and
privileged we are to be one of
few people in the world to call
ourselves Inuit! It is this knowledge that will be passed on to
our future generations and will
ensure our traditions remain
alive and well.”
Through the sharing of their culture they continue to follow the
ways of their ancestors.

St. John’s Native Friendship Centre’s National
Aboriginal Day Celebrations 2014
On June 21st the St. John’s Native Friendship Centre once again celebrated National Aboriginal Day.
This day is one that we look forward to every year; it gives us the opportunity to share Aboriginal
culture with the entire community in ways that bring the entire city together. This year marked the first
time the St. John’s Native Friendship Centre hosted the majority of the celebrations at a larger venue,
and with all the extra space it was a tremendous success.
Throughout the day people were treated to Inuit Drumming, Hand Drumming, Men’s Drumming, traditional dancing and singing, crafts and much more. By the end of the day, over 250 participants attend
the sunrise ceremony and breakfast, as well as the main event in the afternoon. The St. John’s Native
Friendship Centre would like to thank all the community members, volunteers and guests who truly
make this event a success every year and we look forward to even more success in the future.
