Nunavik Government / by Marc Malone and Carole Levesque.: Z1-1991/1-41-82E-PDF
“On 15 March 1983, Canada's first ministers (with the exception of the premier of Quebec) and representatives of Aboriginal peoples gathered to discuss the issue of indigenous rights in the constitutional context. This meeting achieved the only constitutional amendment since 1982, on the rights of Aboriginal peoples. During the discussions, a leitmotif permeated exchanges as federal and provincial leaders asked what Aboriginal self-government was or could be, what it might look like, who would be concerned, and how much it would cost. In the midst of a somewhat impressionistic dialogue, Mark R. Gordon, an Inuk negotiator from Kuujjuaq, Quebec, explained how Quebec Inuit were achieving self-government through recourse to public institutions of government in Northern Quebec. He emphasized the present and potential role of the Kativik Regional Government and other regional organizations. Those present at the conference would agree in retrospect that this statement served to disperse uncertainty and apprehension. This report may not achieve a similar effect. However, it is designed to provide practical insight into self-governing institutions in Northern Quebec, or Nunavik as it is now called, and into the Nunavik Government project that has evolved over the past decade"--Intro., p. 1.
