Kathleen Merritt of Rankin Inlet and Nelson Tagoona of Baker Lake belt out a song during hip hop and
addictions awareness week in Baker Lake this past week.

Lake? Go online to www.nnsl.com/kivalliqnews to vote in this
week's poll. The poll question will be updated every Monday.
Baker Lake
Hundreds of youth bopped
to the music and heard inspiring messages from two young
Kivalliq role models during
Hip Hop Week in Baker Lake
this past week.
The week was co-planned
by Kathleen Merritt of Rankin Inlet, who also played an
active role in the proceedings,
along with featured artist and
event co-ordinator Nelson
Tagoona of Baker.
Merritt works with the
National Art Centre to manage its Music Alive Program
(MAP) in Nunavut.
MAP works with youth in
the communities to educate
and train in both music and
leadership.
Merritt said MAP was
behind a Hip Hop Week held
in Kugluktuk this past year
which also featured Tagoona.
She said the week includes
workshops on beatboxing,
throatsinging and hip hop
techniques, the promotion of
healthy living and a sessionending music concert.
"The National Arts Centre
was interested in holding an
event in Baker Lake, being
how it's Nelson's (Tagoona)
home community," said Merritt.
"Then, during the year, the
RCMP approached Nelson to
ask if he'd be interested in
working with them on addictions awareness.
"We decided to combine
the two, and the entire week
has been funded through the
National Arts Centre and the
RCMP and co-ordinated by
Nelson and the local RCMP.
"It was a good combination to promote the music and
healthy living at the same time
to Baker youths."
Merritt said Tagoona
developed the workshops to
correspond with the different
age groups in Baker, from elementary to high school.
She said she also helped
plan, and took part in, workshops throughout the week
with local students.
"I worked with Paula Rumbolt to do throatsinging workshops with the students.
"We owe a big thanks to
First Air and the Government
of Nunavut for helping make
this possible.
"The kids just loved it, and
they were all very keen to
learn and asked a lot of questions.
"I was surprised to hear
the students really hadn't
heard all that much throatsinging before, but that's mainly
because the Baker elders do a
different style of throat singing than you hear a lot of the
young people doing."
Tagoona said he finds
working with youth to be nothing short of phenomenal.
He said he was amazed by
how intently the students listened to what he had to say.
"With the younger kids,
I talked about music basics,
had a good time rocking out
with them, and taught them
the basics of beatboxing and
rhyming," said Tagoona.
"With the older youths, say
Grade 7 and up, I talked about
the meaning of depression and
how to deal with it if it enters
your life.
"I talked about how depression is a sickness of the mind,
which can really drag you
down at times.
"I talked about depression
and sulking from a metaphorical perspective to relate it to
one of my songs (Depression
Darkness), and to explain how
I use my songs and lyricism to
help clear out any bad feelings
I may have."
Tagoona has been carving
a nice career for himself as a
musician during the past few
years.
His success is a powerful
exclamation point to a message given to the youths that if
they're truly passionate about
something – anything – they
can succeed at it.
Tagoona said he couldn't
have asked for anything more
in how well the students listened and participated in his
workshops.
He said having prizes from
nuSchool to give away during
the workshops was a pleasant
addition.
"The RCMP accessed the
funding to provide the prizes
and the kids really loved them.
"They were really cool
prizes in shirts, sunglasses,
caps and toques.
"It was really neat to be
partnered with the RCMP
in this because I was more
focused on dealing with feelings through addictions awareness.
"I talked to the kids about
having a positive self-image,
and I told the older youths
the reality is that there's really
nothing special, or good, about
drinking or getting high."
Tagoona said at the end of
his workshops, he talks about
the four main highlights of
teaching them about metaphors (how to turn depression
and sulking into a positive perspective), discipline, responsibility and respect.
He said he tries to teach
the youths about responsibility
without the need for discipline.
"I touch on the elders a lot
when I talk about respect.
"I talk to them about Inuit
life long ago, and I talk about
the real meaning of Inuit culture and relate that to hip hop
culture.
"You see their eyes really
start to open when they start
realizing just how important
our elders really are.
"I'm proud of these kids
because they really learned a
lot and took a lot away from
the workshops."

Junior Canadian Rangers Maliki Kattegatsiak, 15, and Kelsey Aggark, 17, right, of Chesterfield Inlet were among the 51 Junior Rangers from Nunavut to participate in a class about responsible leadership at the Tim Hortons Children's Ranch in Kananaskis, Alta., this past month.
Kivalliq youths among Junior Rangers at training camp

Kivalliq
A group of Kivalliq youths
were among the 84 Junior
Canadian Rangers (JCR) from
across the North who had the
training experience of their
young lives this past month.
The JCRs attended a oneweek enhanced training session (ETS) offered by the
First Canadian Ranger Patrol
Group (1 CRPG).
The one-week session
took place at the Tim Hortons Children's Ranch in
Kananaskis, Alta., from Feb.
21 to 27.
Capt. Steve Watton said
the training concentrated on
core values in traditional, life
and Ranger skills.
He said every youth who

Art opportunity
Kivalliq
Kivalliq artists should be aware of an exciting opportunity
launched by the community of Salt Spring Island, B.C., with the
Salt Spring National Art Prize (SSNAP) launching its inaugural
year in a unique fashion.
This small island, known for its creative passion in arts and
sustainability, is honouring Canadian artists with the first artist
taking $10,000 and a one-month artist residency on Salt Spring
Island. In all, $25,000 in prize money is being offered.
Artist exposure is expected to be extensive, as Salt Spring
Island is known as one of Canada's premier art communities.
A total of 50 final works will be selected and displayed in
SSNAP's artist collective show catalogue.
Original works will be exhibited and for sale at the island's
Mahon Hall from Sept. 25 through Oct. 26.
The list of finalists will be announced on Friday, Sept. 25,
with winners announced at an awards gala on Saturday, Oct.
24.
Artists are welcome to submit original two-dimensional and
three-dimensional works, with the deadline for submissions
being May 31.
Outstanding award
Arviat
Charlene Ukutak of Arviat has received the Nunavut Status
of Womem Council's Outstanding Young Woman Award for her
commitment to engaging youth in her community to prevent
suicide.
The announcement was made earlier this month.
Ukutak's goal is to have people select and develop their
skills and talents.
She helps keep people active and happy so they can overcome obstacles and she enjoys working with all age groups.
New fleet at First Air
Kivalliq
First Air has announced it's actively looking to add new
aircraft to modernize its fleet, while decreasing the number of
aircraft types in use to reduce maintenance costs and complexity in its operations.
The airline is investigating both the ATR 42-500, as well as
Bombardier's Q400 as possible replacements for its turboprop
aircraft.
First Air may order up to 10 of the new aircraft and expects
to receive the first of the new planes by the end of the year.

Rankin Inlet
Agnico Eagle has updated its status report of the Meliadine
gold project on the land near Rankin Inlet.
The updated technical study is based on mining only the 3.3
million ounces of gold contained in the known mineral reserves
(13.9 million tonnes of ore at 7.44 grams per tonne).
In the study, mining operations at Meliadine would be conducted using a phased approach over a nine-year period from
only the Tiriganiaq and Wesmeg deposits.
The current mine plan will focus on mining ore from underground operations in years one to nine with open pit operations
in two pits occurring in years four to seven.
The study outlines mill operations averaging 3,000 tonnes
per day of ore in years one to three and 5,000 tonnes per day of
ore in years four to nine.
The Nunavut Impact Review Board issued Agnico Eagle a
project certificate for the Meliadine gold project at the end of
February, which sets out the terms and conditions under which
the project can proceed.
The expected capital budget for 2015 is about $64 million,
of which about $21 million is allocated towards planned underground development.

Silent world
Group continues to document,
revitalize Inuit sign language
by Darrell Greer
Northern News Services
Rankin Inlet
Darrell Greer/NNSL photo
Dr. Paige MacDougall and her father, Dr. Jamie MacDougall, give the
thumbs-up to a workshop on the revitalization of Inuit sign language in Rankin
Inlet this past week.
A week-long workshop
focused on the advancement
and revitalization of Inuit sign
language (ISL) was held in
Rankin Inlet this bast week.
The workshop was facilitated by the father-and-daughter tandem of Dr. James
MacDougall and Dr. Paige
MacDougall in association
with the Canadian Deafness
Research and Training Institute.
Among the objectives
tackled during the week were
the release of a new booklet
demonstrating ISL signs, the
release of a second booklet
detailing the history of the
ISL project in Nunavut and the
development of a new booklet
describing the life of the late
Yvo Samugshak, a well-known
resident of Rankin Inlet who
used Inuit sign language exclusively to communicate.
The recent international recognition of Inuit sign
language by Ethnologue (a
catalogue of more than 6,700
languages spoken in 228 coun-
tries and information on 7,102
known living languages) was
also announced during the
week.
Dr. James MacDougall said
the workshop was a continuation of the process of the documentation and revitalization of
ISL, which began in 2006.
He said quite a bit of progress was made during the
week.
"We produced some new
materials including a booklet telling the whole story of
the project which has been
translated into Inuktitut and
English," said James.
"We have a lot of interest
from schools now, so we've
been doing a lot of phrases
that we use in elementary and
high school.
"We've had those interpreted into both American
and Inuit sign language in our
efforts to develop new materials."
James said there was a special focus on Yvo Samugshak
during the workshop.
He said the booklet being
produced is a tribute to
Samugshak and his life.
"The booklet contains
highlights of his life, with
graphics, and we're also making a video.
"We showed the preliminary material to his wife,
Susan, and other people such
as Philip Ugjuk, who knew
him very well, and got feedback on what we've produced
so far.
"We expect to have the
booklet produced within
the next few months and we
expect there will be a lot of
interest from across Nunavut
on it."
James has been involved
with the project since its
beginnings 19 years ago.
He said the main focus
has always been to document
the language and promote it
around Nunavut, but the project has progressed to the point
where the group also wants
to see training for interpreters and more accessibility and
employment opportunities
made available for deaf people
in Nunavut.

people and their families and
they're all equally helpful in
the development of our ideas.
"You have deaf people
like Louisa (Nanooklook)
and Philip (Ugjuk) who went
south and returned, while others such as Johnny (Ugjuk)
went to school here and never
travelled south.
"Clayton Ungungai is the
first deaf Inuit graduate in
Nunavut, and he's just completed his two-year certificate
at Algonquin College in Ottawa on aboriginal studies.
"The unique thing we find
here is the interest in the families, which has resulted in the
integration of deaf people here
being a lot more complete, in a
way, than it is in the southern
part of Canada."
James said the acceptance
of deaf people in Nunavut,
and especially Rankin Inlet, is
really quite remarkable.
He said ISL is quite different from American sign language, although they do share
some aspects.
"There has been some
borrowing, back and forth,
but the signs for most common
objects are different because
they appear different to
people up here compared to
people in the south.
"ISL is a made-in-Nunavut
language and we're seeing
an increased interest in the
language here from hearing
people, not just deaf people.
"A lot of indigenous peoples around the world had
sign languages and, although
it needs more study, we think
there was sign language here
all the way along, probably for
thousands of years."
James said the group will
try to take its developed materials and give them to schools
for curriculum use.
He said even if there's just
one deaf kid in a class, they
seem very keen to learn the
language.
"My daughter (Dr. Paige
MacDougall) has done similar
work in Mexican communities
where there's a high percentage of deafness.
"She's looking at differences and similarities in different cultures with aboriginal
people.
"That aspect is interesting,
as well, from a scientific point
of view.
"From here it's imperative
we get the language established, and then get training
programs started so we can
have homegrown interpreters
for deaf people."

Blizzard unleashes force onto Rankin, halts play after second semi-final
by Darrell Greer
Northern News Services
Rankin Inlet
Mother Nature unleashed
her biggest temper tantrum of
the winter before a champion
could be crowned at the First
Air Avataq Cup senior men's
hockey championship in Rankin Inlet this past Sunday.
Tournament commissioner Justin Merritt suspended
the tournament following
the second semifinal game
between the Huka Inuks and
Repulse Bay (Naujaat) at
about 8 p.m. on March 15.
Winds reached 120 km/h
overnight in Rankin and
were still blowing between
70 to 90 km/h throughout the
day on March 16 with zero
visibility.
Repulse Bay defeated
Huka 4-3 in its semifinal to
set up a championship date
with the Rankin Inlet Miners.
The Miners defeated
Coral Harbour 5-2 to advance
to the title game.
Coral and Huka will meet
for the bronze medal.
Also competing in this
year's Avataq were Chesterfield Inlet and the Rankin
Sea Dogs, who were both
eliminated in the quarter
finals, along with Whale
Cove, Baker Lake and Rankin Inlet's Team Todd and the
Rubber Puckies.
Rankin's Wendel Kaludjak
led the scoring race when play
was suspended with 12 points
on six goals and six assists,
followed closely by Naujaat's
Rodney Taparti (6-5-11),
Coral's Kevin Angootealuk
(5-5-10) and Naujaat's Aaron
Kopak (0-10-10).
The arena crew battled
snow falling onto the ice and
into the stands throughout the
day March 15, as the result of
unusually warm temperatures
that preceded the storm.
Merritt had little choice in
making his decision, with a
sold-out arena full of people
needing to get home safely
before the blizzard hit at its
hardest.
He said it's always tough to
make the call to shut it down
with an event as wildly popular as the First Air Avataq
Cup hockey tournament.
"I'm the commission of
the event and I'm the one who
made the call," said Merritt.
"Of course people were
disappointed, but you have to
put safety first.
"We hope to play the final
two games as soon as the
weather clears enough for
people to be able to make it
to the arena and home again
safely.
"All the teams are still in
town due to the weather and
it's not like they're going anywhere, so we should be able
to get the games in."
As of 2 p.m. on March
16, the weather had still not
cleared enough for a decision
on the games to be made in
Rankin.
