In the eighth episode of our Inuktitut podcast series, we welcome former CBC Igalaaq broadcaster Madeline Allakariallak as our host. She speaks with Inuit leader Mary Simon on the development of the Arctic Council.
Mary Simon is a former President of Makivik Corporation, Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami, and Chair of the Inuit Circumpolar Council. She was Canada’s first Arctic Ambassador, and then Ambassador to Denmark. Mary has received numerous honorary degrees, the Order of Quebec, and the Order of Canada. She’s currently the Senior Negotiator for the Nunavik Self-Determination process.
She was instrumental in the creation of the Arctic Council in the mid 1990s. The Arctic Council celebrates its 25th anniversary in 2021. In this podcast Mary Simon discusses what lead up to its creation, and the work it has done on behalf of Inuit. ICC is a Permanent Participant at the Arctic Council.
Music on this podcast is by Nelson Tagoona, Inuit throat boxing artist from Baker Lake, Nunavut. Additional narration is by Hazel Ootoowak, Project and Office Coordinator at ICC Canada.
