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.

Was pleasantly surprised to see the BBC giving an Indigenous woman more words in this story.

"On one of these annual 186-mile (300km) journeys, Ms Kabloona's grandmother went into labour and gave birth to her father in a tent along the way.

"Two days later, she got up and carried on walking," Ms Kabloona said.

"She did that in every single one of her pregnancies, traversed our land, because that is our way of life and always has been."”

"Show respect to the land and the people who have kept it pristine for your adventures."

tj (i make it past the end)

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.

Windspeaker.comBook explores the Inuit knowledge that helped find Franklin expedition shipsInuit interaction with the Franklin expedition is the thread that runs through The Land Was Always Used: An Inuit Oral History of the Franklin Expedition, but it's the life of the Inuit in Qikiqtaq (King William Island) that is the heartbeat of the story.

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. rcaanc-cirnac.gc.ca/eng/173230 #Inuit #Canada #RCMP #DogSlaughter #SledDog #TruthAndReconciliation #genocide #colonialism

“You're seeing things like people that are being settled for the very first time, sometimes by choice, but most of the time it's forcible or it's coercive that people are being moved from seminomadic camps … to living in permanent sedentary settled lives.”
