NUNAVUMMI SIVUMUUQPALLIANIQ (NUNAVUT MOVING FORWARD): SUSTAINING NORTHERN CULTURES IN THE FACE OF PROGRESS The contents of this publication are entirely the responsibility of the author and do not necessarily reflect the view or opinions of the Walter and Duncan Gordon Foundation. [...] The historical relationship between the administrative colonizers and the people of the North has bred an atmosphere of distrust and a feeling of disconnect in modern society. [...] Nonetheless, the most commonly accepted definition is the ability for society to meet the needs of the present without compromising the needs of the future.27. [...] With the signing of the NLCA in 1993, the Inuit of Nunavut negotiated the “surrender of any claims, rights, title and interests based on the assertion of their aboriginal title” anywhere in Canada. [...] The values that are the canvas of the North, and more specifically the Inuit culture, are laid out in a format of Guiding Principles developed by the Government of Nunavut.
