pitseolak pfeifer, carleton university, who will speak on "inuit in canada: the true north, strong and free?"

this is an insightful overview of the social, political and economic processes, agents, and structures that envelop and challenge inuit self-determination in nunavut and canada. this critical examination invites participants to re-think their understanding of canada’s role in the arctic, by considering the relation between the nation-state, and its citizenry, and the people of the north. drawing on first-hand experience and on interdisciplinary methodology, the lecture features an interactive format that solicits 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 ' engagement. the overall goal is to create a safe space for dialogue that builds awareness of, and new perspectives on, matters of arctic indigenous governance in contemporary times.
