@chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.caSome really good news.
A new university will be built in Arviat, Nunavut, on the western shores of Hudson’s Bay, by 2030. It will be by and for Inuit peoples and all to learn the culture and language of the North and for people in the North to obtain post-secondary education in their language.

@chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.caArctic Solidarity. 🇨🇦🇬🇱🇩🇰
For those not familiar, Nunavut is a Canadian territory encompassing most of the Canadian Arctic including Baffin Island where its capital, Iqaluit, is located.
There are deep historic and ancestral ties, but also very current familial ties between Greenlander and Canadian Inuit peoples. There are international flights between Iqaluit and Nuuk.

@chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.caOur current Governor General Mary Simon -- Titular Commander of our Armed Forces in the King's adsence -- is Inuk, and grew up in traditional life. (yes, dog sleds, Donald!)
Her Inuk name is: Ningiukudluk
It means: “bossy little old lady”.
I am absolutely sure #TheAmericanFascist would hate her. 👍
She has a long career in Arctic/Inuk/Circumpolar politics. She will be in Nuuk next month to open Canada's new consulate.
