Wanted: civil lawyer to work on rights case

I am requesting assistance from Nunavummiut or others who can direct or guide me to a constitutional or civil lawyer for consultation.

I cannot afford a lawyer but wish to consult with one for a potential case. If there is a proven case, there would be further consulation and a request for representation in addressing rights and denial of access to a better livelihood for others.

It seems there are major learning curves for Inuit as a society and with modern living. Inuit have survived with changes and education for thousands of years.

With today’s drastic changes, many social issues are not properly addressed and many services are not readily or fully accessible. There are some Inuit in the North and in the South who do not have rights.

Our supposed leaders and organizations who represent Inuit are quick to forget who they represent in some way, not all, but most. Most organizations do not seem to have adequate decision-making skills or authority that are necesary for Inuit to succeed, at least some departments or employees.

Most are too busy checking over the red tape to see if “it’s okay” to do something about an issue. From those that are checking to see if the “i’s” are dotted and “t’s” are crossed. There are policies and procedures in place for checks and balances as guidelines to ensure that a job is well done to best represent matters.

However, change is inevitable for a new territory and therefore policies, procedures and guidelines can and must change through time to best meet the core issues that challenge our people and communities as a society.

If you can direct me a lawyer for representation and if this interests you, please contact me by leaving a message at 1-867-793-2598. Or send a fax to: 1-867-793-2315.
