Nunavut Students Get To Take Over Role Of Their MLA | APTN News
Politicians are often accused of acting like children.
At the Nunavut Legislative Assembly last week it was children acting like politicians.
They got a chance to sit in the chairs of politicians and ask the tough questions.
The role reversal was also broadcast across the territory.
(V) CANADA: INUIT GAIN THERE OWN TERRITORY NUNAVET
Voice and effects
VOICED BY LOUISE BATES
Canada's frigid arctic region is about to become the latest test of government by the people on a grand scale.
On April 1, this Thursday, an area roughly the size of Western Europe will be given over for rule by people native to Canada's Northwest Territories.
It's a bold experiment -- two decades in the making -- to improve native life through self-rule.
The northern arctic sun rises for a new day on the roof of the North American continent.
It's an area that includes Canada's vast Northwest Territories, more than 1.3 million square miles of forest, ice and frozen tundra.
As of the first of April, the eastern half of this region, some 770-thousand square miles, will officially become Nunavut Territory.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
As a new territory even now we're very reliant on government programs, and we probably will be for a good while.
SUPER CAPTION: Nancy Karetak-Lindell, Member of Parliament, Nunavut.
One of the first big projects is the building of Nunavut's new legislative assembly building.
Workers are still busy finishing up the structure, located in Iqaluit (ee - KA - loo - eet) - Nunavet's capitol town.
The new leaders will tend to a region roughly the size of Western Europe, with a population of just around 27-thousand people, living in 28 far-flung villages and hamlets.
That' s plus says local political leader Ed Picco.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
When I go to the store I see my constituents every day, and they know where my house is. I think just in that itself makes the government more accountable to the people.
SUPER CAPTION: Ed Picco, member elect, Nunavut Legislative Assembly.
With huge unemployment problems leaders say it's time for home-grown solutions..
SOUNDBITE: (English)
What people are saying is if we make mistakes at least they'll be mistakes that we've made, and we can live with that.
SUPER CAPTION: Nancy Karetak-Lindell, Member of Parliament, Nunavut.
About 85 percent of the people who live in this region are Inuit, Canada's aboriginal people, and they'll will get a helping hand from a multi-million dollar Canadian trust fund.
Inuit leaders hope self-rule will bring new opportunity and pride in a unique culture where Nunavut, in the native language, means our land.

The newest territory in Canada, and the largest territory with the lowest population density, Nunavut is a very interesting place and there are many cool facts about it.
So, let's delve into the Top 10 Cool Facts About Nunavut!
Iqaluit is not connected to the rest of North America by road. While it is connected to other communities in Nunavut by road, you need boat or plane to reach the capital of Nunavut.
You can take a taxi in Iqaluit, but it will cost you only one price: $7. No matter where you go in the city, that is what you are going to pay by taxi.
Nunavut may be remote, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have the most Canadian thing ever; Tim Hortons. You can find three Tim Hortons kiosks in stores in the capital city.
Homes in Nunavut, by law, must be built on stilts at least one metre off the ground. The reason for this is the permafrost, and without stilts the home will heat the ground and slowly sink into the ground.
Only 2.5 per cent of the population is over the age of 65. The average age in Nunavut is 30.1 years. A full 52 per cent of the population is under the age of 20.
The Bay of Fundy gets most of the attention, but the second highest tides in Canada are found in Iqaluit. Tides can rise eight to 12 metres during a single change.
Until 1987, Iqaluit was called Frobisher Bay. It was named by Martin Frobisher, who was the first one to sail into the bay on July 17, 1577.
Iqaluit, home to just over 7,000 people, has the smallest population of any capital city in Canada.
The Legislative Assembly of Iqaluit has 19 seats and unlike other areas of the country, there are no party lines. All decisions are made by consensus, much like a city council.
Residents in Nunavut have a water tank outside their homes that is topped up each day. Each home gets about 225 litres of water per day to use.

Consensus Government of Nunavut - Northern Canada
Consensus government is a form of consensus democracy government[citation needed] in Canada in the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, as well as Nunatsiavut, an autonomous area in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador.
The population of these jurisdictions are majority aboriginal. The system developed in the Northwest Territories beginning during the 1970s, and was adopted by Nunavut when it came into existence in 1999.
In 1905, the provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan were separated from the then much larger Northwest Territories. The Yukon Territory had been created in 1898 to facilitate governance of the Yukon goldfields, and both Ontario and Quebec were granted large areas of northern lands. The remaining lands were considered to be unsettled by Europeans, largely inhabited by Dene, Métis and Inuit, and not requiring much governance. The Commissioner of the Northwest Territories, a functionary reporting to the Minister of Indian and Northern Affairs in Ottawa, was given plenary governing authority.
A legislative council was convened from time to time of worthy notables, learned in matters involving the natives and northern development. The 2nd Council of the Northwest Territories met sporadically, typically in Ottawa, and passed ordinances for the benefit of the territory.
Beginning during the 1950s and 1960s some residents of the territory were appointed or elected to the council. These elected members were initially non-native, but in growing number, were Dene, Métis and Inuit. Members began to secure positions on the executive council, replacing appointed Ottawa administrators, and began to insist on a devolution of authority. In a series of letters, the Minister of Indian and Northern Affairs gradually curtailed the authority of the commissioner and affirmed the authority of the assembly.
The first fully elected executive council elected in 1980 was led by George Braden, and the system of consensus government developed from that date.

INSIDE ARCTIC COLLEGE - Visit an Arctic College class in Qikiqtarjuaq, Nunavut
Ever wondered what goes on in one of Nunavut's Arctic college learning centres?
While many people are aware that Nunavut's Arctic College was set up to provide education and vocational opportunities for those living in Canada's eastern Arctic, many are unaware that outside the major campuses, in places like Iqaluit, there's Arctic College learning centres in many of Nunavut's smaller communities.
There, programs can range from cooking, for those keen on a job as a cook at the local hotel, to traditional skills, for those wanting to keep Inuit traditions alive.
When Radio Canada International journalist Eilís Quinn travelled to Qikiqtarjuaq, Nunavut a predominantly Inuit community of around 500 people in Canada's eastern Arctic, the centre's traditional sewing program was in full swing.
In this video, the centre's adult educator Lizzie Aliqatuqtuq was kind enough to show us around and share her thoughts on what makes Arctic College's learning centres so important and unique.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Nunavut ( (listen); French: [nynavy(t)]; Inuktitut syllabics ᓄᓇᕗᑦ [ˈnunavut]) is the newest, largest, and northernmost territory of Canada. It was separated officially from the Northwest Territories on April 1, 1999, via the Nunavut Act and the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement Act, though the boundaries had been contemplatively drawn in 1993. The creation of Nunavut resulted in the first major change to Canada's political map since the incorporation of the province of Newfoundland in 1949.
Nunavut comprises a major portion of Northern Canada, and most of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. Its vast territory makes it the fifth-largest country subdivision in the world, as well as North America's second-largest (after Greenland). The capital Iqaluit (formerly Frobisher Bay), on Baffin Island in the east, was chosen by the 1995 capital plebiscite. Other major communities include the regional centres of Rankin Inlet and Cambridge Bay.
Nunavut also includes Ellesmere Island to the far north, as well as the eastern and southern portions of Victoria Island in the west and Akimiski Island in James Bay far to the southeast of the rest of the territory. It is Canada's only geo-political region that is not connected to the rest of North America by highway.Nunavut is the largest in area and the second-least populous of Canada's provinces and territories. One of the world's most remote, sparsely settled regions, it has a population of 35,944, mostly Inuit, spread over an area of just over 1,750,000 km2 (680,000 sq mi), or slightly smaller than Mexico. Nunavut is also home to the world's northernmost permanently inhabited place, Alert. Eureka, a weather station also on Ellesmere Island, has the lowest average annual temperature of any Canadian weather station.
