Nanisivik had a permanent impact on Nunavut

My two daughters have birth certificates from Nanisivik. The school there is named after my father.

I lived in Nanisivik for a few years with the hope of learning a trade job. My hopes did not materialize, so I say, “Why have an agreement? What purpose does an agreement have when you do not stick with it? And who enforces these agreements?”

The Prime Minister of Canada signed it when he was the DIAND Minister. Can we get retroactive action and compensation? Nansivik was a temporary community with no real status. Yet, lives were lived and life continues even in the midst of being demolished or vapourized.

So, my daughters birth certificates are temporary? Thank you Nanisivik Mines Ltd. for everything.
