Firstly, and very importantly Makivik had a new President
presiding over the meeting. Although Charlie Watt is not new to the
corporation he hasn’t sat at the helm for many, many years. He is the
founding president of Makivik and ironically on the 40 th anniversary
of the corporation, the people of Nunavik voted him back in to the
top job to lead the people for the next three years.
Secondly, the annual meeting had a different ambience with the
appearance of the remaining Inuit signatories of the James Bay and
Northern Quebec Agreement. They were invited to take part in the
major theme of the conference surrounding the renewal of talks on
Self Determination in Nunavik.
It’s no secret the signing of the JBNQA had a major impact on
the unity of Nunavik Inuit in 1975 and that division, although less
visible, has not been dealt with until today. One of the main obstacles
to the division was the surrender clause in the agreement and its
conflicting nature with the Canadian Constitution, in particular
section 35, which recognizes Aboriginal Rights.
During the AGM major resolutions were passed and we want to
share photos of the meeting and the resolutions that were passed.
