News from Newfoundland and Labrador, 4 July.

A canine partner was used to track down a suspect after an incident in the east end of St John's.

2. John Byrne and Crystal Chislett have been charged in Harbour Grace with producing guns and weapons using a 3D printer. The police seized long guns, handguns, some of which were made with a 3D printer, ammunition, and a security uniform complete with body armor

3. Three people were displaced after their home flooded in Sally's Cove due to a partially blocked culvert. The Red Cross has arranged emergency lodging, meals, and transportation for the affected individuals

4. Federal grocery rebate payments will be hitting bank accounts tomorrow.

5. Pierre Poilievre is visiting Newfoundland and Labrador and discussing the burden of green taxes, which a conservative government would nix, he says.

6. Oil contaminants have been found in wild eggs in Labrador's north coast, leading to warnings and guidelines on consumption to minimize health risks.

The contamination is believed to be linked to a diesel spill in 2020, raising concerns about the long-term impact on traditional Inuit diets and livelihoods.

There is a need for increased communication, research, and mitigation efforts to address the contamination source and protect the food chain in northern communities.

The different arras of the Inuit Nunangat.

bunglejerry:

For those wondering, Nunavut has full status as a territory of Canada; the other three components are semi-autonomous regions of other provinces or territories of Canada. Nunatsiavut is part of Newfoundland and Labrador (the latter, to be specific), Nunavik is part of Québec, and most of Inuvialuit is in Northwest Territories though a small bit is in Yukon.

'Small bit' is a relative term, of course. This is a truly massive area we're talking about.

zone area pop % Inuit

Nunavut 2,039,000km² 36,900 85%

Inuvialuit 435,000km² 5,300 58%

Nunavik 443,700km² 14,000 90%

Nunatsiavut 66,800km² 2,300 88%

That's a total area of 2,985,000km², still a little bit smaller than the Sakha Republic but larger than all but seven countries in the world. And yet a population of less than 60,000.

New dawn for Arctic’s first people: the Inuit plan to reclaim their sea.

The environment Inuit have lived in for millennia is changing fast. Canada’s government once ignored Indigenous knowledge of it but now they are jointly creating the Nunatsiavut conservation area.

Martin Shiwak accelerates his boat to grab the seal he has shot before the animal sinks out of sight. Shiwak has hunted for years in the waters of Lake Melville, by the Inuit community of Rigolet in Nunatsiavut. “Sometimes you have to drive around here in the boat nearly all day to find a seal,” Shiwak says. “ And nowadays you can’t even afford to – $60 only gets you five gallons of gas.” Winter temperatures can average -30C (-22F) with the windchill. The Labrador current brings Arctic ice floes down along the coast, and a host of marine life. From November to June, shipping is impossible because sea ice covers the entire 9,320-mile (15,000km) coastline, so all food and supplies must be flown in. In Rigolet, a frozen 1.5kg (3.3lb) chicken will set you back $25 (£20). Hunting here is not just a tradition but a necessity. harsh environment for so long, the climatic conditions they rely on are changing.

Since 1950, Nunatsiavut has lost 40 days of ground snow a year. Its sea ice is vanishing faster than anywhere in the Canadian Arctic. In his lifetime, Shiwak has witnessed the winters becoming warmer, wetter, and shorter.

Who is responsible for catalyzing change in the policy?

What is most important in the constulation plan and policy review is the engagement of stakeholders. Internal and external stakeholders are those who made the policy, and those who are affected by the policy. This can include policymakers, researchers, students and employees at Memorial University, and more.

But being that this is a policy that directly involves Indigenous individuals and groups, they are a priority as stakeholders. If the policy fails in sustaining a relationship with researchers and Indigenous communities, the policy would be null. They have the biggest impact and influence on the policy, including any ammendments and changes made to it in the future.

Since consultations started, Dr. Adjei has been with external stakeholders such as members of the Nunatsiavut Government in Nain (a community in the north-east of Labrador), as well as leaders in Happy Valley-Goose Bay. They have also reached out to people working in Memorial University.
