From Alex Usher for people in the network of @NunavutBirder "As an aside here, I would really love it if someone from Nunavut could write an explainer about the politics of the national Inuit organization trying to start a post-secondary institution that will almost certainly overlap with and duplicate programming at the already mind-bogglingly expensive, territorially-controlled Nunavut Arctic College. Please and thank you." #nunavut #inuit #canPol
Here’s another feature (this time from Netflix itself) on the importance of authenticity in production design of North of North.
https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/north-of-north-authenticity-inuit-community
Fashion in ‘North of North’ has generated a lot of comment in social media.
I’ve noticed that many of these come with assumptions about what women would be wearing in Inuit communities, and a lack of understanding of the importance of sustainable design in Inuit culture.
CBC has a great feature with interviews with the show’s creators on the point.
‘The show's emphasis on slow fashion ran counter to a film industry that often operates on a quicker schedule.
"Nothing here is mass-made," Aglok MacDonald said. "So it really is going out to independent artists who are just crafting a few things here and there and seeing if they could put in a bulk order."’

Letztens hab ich hier einen Serientipp gelesen. Hab dann einen sehr ansprechenden Artikel* dazu gelesen und mir die Serie auf die Watchlist gesetzt.
Gestern habe ich alle 8 Folgen der Staffel in einem Rutsch durch gesuchtet 
. Naja, die Folgen sind auch nur ca 30min lang.
Erfrischend, lustig, komplex, traurig, mit tollen Darstellern.

North of North has dropped on Netflix today.
It’s an absolute joy of a show that looks misogyny, settler paternalism and intergenerational trauma directly in the eye but still leaves one feeling delighted, cheering on Siaja’s journey as a young ‘modern Inuk woman’ episode by episode.
A CBC-ATPN coproduction with Netflix, it ran weekly on CBC Gem earlier this year in Canada.
It deserves all the viewing minutes globally.
Starting a rewatch is what I needed this week.

fnmi identity fraud resources (“First Nations, Métis, Inuit” - the new terminology to replace the word “Indigenous.”)

(im not sure how far known this term is so im putting indigenous in the hashtag for better reach, but will remove if called in/out this is actually a resource that's more for non-fnmi so that we can stop getting misinformation from outside the community)
Inuit knowledge of British polar explorer Sir John Franklin’s voyage played a role in finding the wrecks of HMS Erebus in 2014 and HMS Terror in 2016. Franklin brought the two ships to the Canadian #Arctic in 1847 to explore and map the Northwest Passage. All 129 men on the expedition died.
Historically, peaceful demonstrations and public #advocacy have been instrumental in advancing #HumanRights, #PublicHealth, and #EnvironmentalProtection worldwide. Suppressing such activism not only undermines democratic freedoms but also places #Alberta at odds with the global movement toward #climate responsibility. This is doubly our responsibility while we are on journey of #reconciliation with #FirstNations, #Inuit, and #Métis peoples.

…#Trump's vocal interest has shaken up the status quo, & coupled w/the growing pride of the #Indigenous people in their #Inuit culture, put #independence front & center in the election.
In the final debate on #Greenland's state broadcaster KNR late on Mon, leaders of the 5 parties currently in parliament unanimously said they did not trust Trump.
"He is trying to influence us. I can understand if citizens feel insecure," said Erik Jensen, leader of govt coalition partner Siumut.
Canada and the RCMP did/do awful things to Inuit. One of these things was the widespread slaughter of dogs. Inuit relied upon these dogs for food, transportation, and protection.
An elder I know remembers the slaughter. Her father was out on the tundra with his dog team when RCMP came to her community and killed every dog.
He stayed out on the tundra alone with his dogs for months. He had to keep the dogs hidden from the cops or those dogs would've been killed too. He and his dog team kept that community fed all that time. Without his hunting, they would have starved. https://www.rcaanc-cirnac.gc.ca/eng/1732300419996/1732300456676 #Inuit #Canada #RCMP #DogSlaughter #SledDog #TruthAndReconciliation #genocide #colonialism
