Hi everyone. How much do you know about the Inuits and "the High Arctic relocation program" conducted by the Canadian government in 1953 and 1955? Why did the government decide to move these people? Did you learn about the Inuit relocation at school? Do Canadians talk about it?
Hi - no I don't think this is very well known. Where are you from ?
Thank you. I am from Poland and here most people don't know anything about this part of Canadian history.
Please post a link for us to read/discuss.
I have been to Resolute and Grise Fiord. The general impression I got was nobody there was thankful to the government of Canada for being relocated to those places simply to promote a form of sovereignty. Not the most habitable places in the world!
Didn't know anything about them. Thanks for bringing it up.Another part of our history not to be proud of, like residential schools and the Japanese internments.
I don't know a lot about the Inuits, and know literally nothing about their relocation nor knew they were relocated.
