Compare and contrast Have you ever heard of a group called Micmacs. If you have then you have had an insane life. I am going to describe the Micmacs and the Inuit.

They hunt squirrels and moose for their edible goodies and for other supplies. Their primary language is Eastern Algonquian. One of their housing is Wigman. They mainly use that by reason of how non effort as it is to set it up it's as easy as cake to take it down and carry it. The Micmacs had to travel a lot.

    The importance of the Algonquian native american tribe in the Eastern Great Lakes Region is essential in understanding the region’s political reasoning, this can be understood in the article The Significance of Algonquian Kinship Networks in the Eastern Great Lakes Region, 1600-1701 by Heidi Bohaker, a professor who resides at University of Toronto . The purpose of this comes from an event that occurred in the summer of 1701, author states “the twelve hundred French residents of Montreal played host to some thirteen hundred Native American visitors…” (Bohaker,pg.23) The reasoning behind this was to create a peace treaty, to end conflict with the Iroquois Confederacy.

    Documents 9.2 and 9.3 in Keith Smith’s Stranger Things are both accounts which describe the federal government’s experiment to relocate Inuit from northern Quebec to Resolute Bay and Grise Fiord in the northern Arctic in 1953. However, while both sources recount the government’s experiment the narratives have different perspectives highlighting how people remember events in different ways depending on how they were affected by the outcome. Document 9.2 is a testimony given by Markoosie Patsauq and Samwillie Elijassialuk whose story describes the heartbreak, neglect and empty promises that the Inuit endured because they were removed from their home and thrust into a completely unfamiliar territory with unreliable access to food. In contrast,…

    The article “Of breathing holes and contact zones: Inuit-Canadian writer Markoosie in and through translation” by Valerie Henitiuk (2017) talks about Harpoon of the Hunter, a novel written by Markoosie and published serially between 1969 and 1970 in Canada and known for being the first Inuit novel. The article also discusses the translations of the novel into English and French, the unequal translation relationship between major and minor languages that many times has a history of colonialism and oppression behind it, and the post-colonial contact zones created through certain translational acts. Henitiuk begins by stating how translation from a minor language into a major language showcases the inherently unequal relationship between the…

    In response to these events, he believes that the Inuit should combat them with their culture and the gentle nature that comes with it. He suggests this method of combating conflict using their Inuit culture when he states, “In a world which becomes more complicated with each passing year, we must rely on the simple, gentle ways of our people to guide us,” as this idea shows that he believes the non-violent attributes of his culture are the pathway to creating a more peaceful existence. I addition, Amagoalik also portrays his desire to learn from our past experiences as a society in order to aid in our current conflicts. He suggests this idea in saying “A lot of people tell me that we must forget the past, and instead, look to the future.

    3) Seal hunting has become generally frowned upon in recent decades, as recounted in the case study on “Seal Hunting and the Fate of the Inuit.” Animal rights activists have been able to successfully cause the “collapse” of the sealskin market by drawing public attention to the sometimes brutal ways in which seals, especially baby seals, are slaughtered and harvested for their skins. For a great many people, the successful destruction of the seal industry was a tremendous victory for animal rights and against inhumane practices. However, the clampdown on the industry adversely affected Canada’s indigenous Inuit people, for whom seal harvesting is integral to their economy, way of life, and culture. Thanks in part to the decline in the seal…

Flaherty spent 16 months living with Inuit where he staged sequences of them hunting and building a life in the snow. This essay will discuss how Flaherty’s various stylistic, formal, and technical choices contributed to the overall impact of Nanook of the North.…
