to share their knowledge. By actively involving all generations,<br />
Unaaq aims to keep Inuit traditions and language alive and well<br />
in the community of Inukjuak.<br />
History<br />
Unaaq began in 2001 as a small group of men concerned about<br />
social issues affecting Inukjuak’s young Inuit. The men officially incorporated<br />
their group into a non-profit association on July 31, 2006.<br />
Since then, Unaaq has benefitted from the help of many local and<br />
regional funding sources, as well as other organizations that were<br />
working independently to support Inukjuak’s youth and promote<br />
Inuit cultural heritage.<br />
The Association has developed programs to teach the young<br />
men vital skills for hunting and surviving on the land, traditional carpentry<br />
skills, marketable skills like engine mechanics and building<br />
renovation, as well as personal skills for coping with the challenges<br />
of life in the remote community of Inukjuak. These programs are<br />
helping the young men to grow into hunters and leaders of the<br />
community. Unaaq’s activities have expanded over the years from<br />
organizing fishing and hunting excursions on the land to making<br />
kayaks, qamutiks and emergency shelters. The Association also<br />
organizes community celebrations and traditional games.<br />
