    Sivertz continues to downplay the devastating effects the Canadian government 's mismanagement had on the Inuit population that was relocated. When discussing how the Inuit people were forced to eat from the dumpster in order to survive, he instead focuses primarily on the issues of regulations surrounding the use of the dumpster, and how the constables in charge of the dumpster were very “gentle and effective”. He outright ignores the glaring issue that the Inuit, who were promised a better standard of living with plenty of food, were eating from a dumpster. Mr. Sivertz also disregards the complete lack of proper investigation and research conducted by the government prior to the relocation. First, Mr. Sivertz downplays how the government’s original “promise” to allow Inuit people to return was not properly conveyed to the Inuit people in Inukjuak by a translator who spoke broken Inuktitut.…

    In my opinion, the article, “Animal Rights Activists and Inuit Clash Over Canada’s Indigenous Food Traditions” by Selena Randhawa, is a text that demonstrates ‘Othering’ within its discourse as the “view or treatment of a group as intrinsically lesser.” The article creates this atmosphere of marginalization—specifically toward the cultural values and opinions of the Inuit as a collective group—through both the nature of its overall subject matter and through the author’s use of particular “power terms.” For instance, by describing the on-going conflict between Canadian animal rights activists and the Inuit over their seal hunting subsistence practices, the article’s subject matter highlights activists’ frequent attempts to supersede traditional…

    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.

Henitiuk begins by stating how translation from a minor language into a major language showcases the inherently unequal relationship between the…
