  • The Origin of OUR LAND
    This episode takes us back to April 1, 1999 — the historic moment when Nunavut officially became Canada’s newest territory. More than just a redrawing of borders, the creation of Nunavut marked a monumental achievement in Indigenous self-determination, driven by decades of negotiation, sophisticated leadership, and deep cultural pride. Through interviews with the Honourable Dennis Glen Patterson, Dre Leona Aglukkaq, and Inuit elder Levinia Brown, we uncover the behind-the-scenes struggle that led to the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement — the largest Indigenous land claim settlement in Canadian history.Gain insight into how Inuit leaders combined traditional knowledge with sharp strategy to secure not only land and resources but also political autonomy. With 85% of its population identifying as Inuit and a territory spanning three time zones, Nunavut stands as a transformative model for Indigenous governance.To learn more, visit www.thearcticedge.ca
