The effects of settlement on the living conditions of Indigenous and Inuit people

The patience of the Inuit could pass for passivity but behind their serene equanimity hides a resilient people, of a curious and enterprising nature. They are patient and not passive. Arctic populations are somewhat in the image of their environment. Behind their nonchalant affability, they are exotic, adventurous, formidable survivors with an unusual inner strength in an adverse environment.

The solidarity of women in favor of profound changes is already underway

Despite the magnitude of the task, despite the appearance of what some call a waterproof wall, despite the dominant discourse that says that the Inuit accept their destiny, we must reject the attitude of "giving up" that there is nothing to do but wait.
Rather, the problems have been identified, measures to redress the situation in depth are being felt.

The complexity of the history of the indigenous people remains the distinctive feature they share

The day when hopes and gestures offer a more equitable development in remote areas, we will imagine that all children will no longer be condemned to live "social suffering". The historical processes of colonization, marginalization and coercive assimilation have contributed to poverty and the ensuing hardships. In my viewpoint, it is a violation of human rights. How can we build self-sufficient communities with the systems in place, the ones that keep the people down.
