Final Report Re-storying NunatuKavut: Making connections through

1 Apr 2019

The historical re-production of the life and culture of the Southern Inuit has often been portrayed by merchants, doctors, academics and researchers with ambivalence and uncertainty. [...] Research questions 1) How can the practice of storytelling by NunatuKavut women destabilize established historical narratives and understandings? 2) How can the involvement of urban youth in multi-generational digital storytelling create new interpretations of the diversity of experiences and Aboriginal identities of Southern Inuit? Objectives 1) To encourage urban NunatuKavut youth to participate. [...] The research followed the guidelines of the NunatuKavut Community Council for community engagement, including the principles of ownership, control, access and possession. [...] Urban youth become a part of the story making and the 3 translation process, with Southern Inuit women as the knowledge holders and providers. [...] The youth involved in the project developed research skills in interviewing, digital storytelling, and historical research, which builds the capability and capacity of NunatuKavut researchers.
