Alan DoyleGUEST

Alan DoyleGUEST
Nunavik, I guess you would call it.
Alan DoyleGUEST
Yeah.
Alan DoyleGUEST
And that was very remote.
Beatrice DeerGUEST
And my dad Has never left.
Beatrice DeerGUEST
So this is in Nunavik.
Heather LouHOST
Yes, this is in Nunavik.
Heather LouHOST
So for anybody who doesn't know Canadian geography, Nunavik is like the northernmost tip of Quebec.
Heather LouHOST
Yes.
Heather LouHOST
So if you
Beatrice DeerGUEST
look at the map of Quebec from the 56th parallel up...
Beatrice DeerGUEST
That's the Nunavik region.
Siransh TikuHOST
That's a territory on its own.
Gary WilsonGUEST
The, the book focused on the three other Inuit regions which are lesser known, so Nunavik in northern Quebec, Nunatsiavut in northern Labrador, and Inuvialuit in, in the Northwest Territories.
Gary WilsonGUEST
So these, uh, the Inuit in these regions were looking to gain greater autonomy within the confines of the existing federal system, and that's the nested element of, of their autonomy.
Siransh TikuHOST
So how does that, how does that work? You know, there's a lot of folks Who don't want to see more government out there, right? At the same time, and like I say, we're gonna-- I'd like to talk about this a little more, I believe it's, uh, really important that p- local people have th-this local decision-making power, that we who live in a place get to decide what happens in that place.
Jesse StaniforthGUEST
And so the, the loss of land was a significant concern going into the, uh, the negotiations for the JBNQA.
Jesse StaniforthGUEST
But there was also the, uh, Naskapi Nation of Kawawachikamach, who are, uh, very close neighbors to the Crees on the territory, and then of course, the Inuit of Nunavik, uh, all of whom, uh, were potentially affected by these, uh, these sorts of changes.
Jesse StaniforthGUEST
And so when we get to the discussions, starting in 1980, but especially in 1995, we're gonna talk about the issue of, uh, sovereignty or independence.
Jesse StaniforthGUEST
Um, this is the background.
Malaya Qaunirq ChapmanGUEST
So the costs can stay lower.
Malaya Qaunirq ChapmanGUEST
But for Inuit living in Nunavut, whether it's Nunavik, Inuvialui, Nunavut, our groceries need to be flown and shipped to our homes.
Malaya Qaunirq ChapmanGUEST
And so what the grocery stores do or should be doing is bringing dry goods on sea lift, which is like a big truck.
Malaya Qaunirq ChapmanGUEST
Ship that brings dry goods to the communities.
Mark RaycroftHOST
Welcome to another episode of Beyond the Wild Podcast.
Mark RaycroftHOST
Today is an exciting episode as Pili and I just returned from Nunavik on our annual musk ox adventure this afternoon.
Mark RaycroftHOST
And I'm in a quick pivot between trips, so I thought it'd be a great time.
Mark RaycroftHOST
Everything's fresh, still very exciting, as you'll hear through the podcast about the week we've had.
Mark RaycroftHOST
And it's the very beginning of the muskox rut.
Mark RaycroftHOST
And...
Mark RaycroftHOST
The herd's doing exceptionally well in the region of Nunavik on Gaba Bay.
Mark RaycroftHOST
And we had a wonderful collection of photographers with us this week.
Fred CampbellGUEST
So I was born and raised fishing, and the Atlantic salmon came along the way throughout my long career in videography.
Fred CampbellGUEST
And the Atlantic salmon came about when I first made a film, I would say 20 years ago in Nunavik, northern Quebec.
Fred CampbellGUEST
And that's where the spark to create this video outdoor clothing company called Huke came about.
Pete TyjasHOST
And for you then, did that mean that you started off with trout as a trout angler first off?
Fred CampbellGUEST
We were doing films for skateboarding, snowboarding, and It got fairly big in the production world, and at a certain point in time, this entrepreneur reached out and asked me if I wanted to produce this TV series about his dad, a great outdoorsman, and he wanted to see if I would take the contract.
Fred CampbellGUEST
And I said yes, and that's when it all started for me because that gentleman was called Michel Gravel, and he was an amazing Atlantic salmon angler.
Fred CampbellGUEST
So I followed him for two years filming that series, and he brought me to Nunavik.
Fred CampbellGUEST
And when I saw those amazing fish on the fly line and the caribou migrations, it sparked in me something and I said, I want to see more of this.

Alberta's expansion of private pay models, British Columbia's reversal of harm reduction and decriminalization measures amid an ongoing public health emergency, Quebec's handling of tuberculosis outbreaks in Inuit communities, and Ontario's cuts to funding for long-term care are all raising concerns among health care advocates about the direction of health policy across the country.
