Ungava Polar Eco Tours is the first 100% Inuit-owned and operated tour company!!!👏🏼👏🏼🙌🏼🙏🏼 It is located around the Gyrfalcon Islands in Nunavik, Quebec. I love that you get to enjoy activities like hiking, biking, wildlife observation and camping, all while respecting the land and its ecosystem. Supporting Indigenous-owned companies means preserving the land, wildlife and biodiversity. Our tours guides put so much love and care into this project and I'm so grateful to have experienced it! @ungavapolarecotours @nunavik.quebec @tourismequebec

Trigger Warning: Forced Child Removal Keira, a loving mother, being forced to hand over her newborn to Danish authorities just two after after giving birth. The authorities cited concerns based on an FKU test conducted during her pregnancy. This removal was based on Danish standards of parenting that ignore Inuit cultural norms and rely heavily on tests poorly matched for Greenlandic parents. For instance, Keira's parenting style, deeply rooted in Inuit traditions and non-verbal communication, was misunderstood and pathologized as insufficient. FKU (Parental Competence Assessment), is a psychological assessment used in Denmark to determine if a parent can adequately care for their child. The test involves interviews, observations, and psychometric evaluations, all designed within a Danish cultural framework. This test has been highly criticized for its failure to account for the cultural, linguistic, and social contexts of Greenlandic Inuit families, who are significantly "failing" these evaluations. Keira's case is not unique. It's part of a long history of the Danish system tearing apart Greenlandic families, denying us the right to raise our children within our culture, and perpetuating harmful stereotypes about us as unfit parents. This is cultural genocide. It's the erasure of our language, traditions, and connection to our children, all under the pretense of "help."

Annie Mae Pictou Aquash was a resilient Mi'kmaq woman who wasn't afraid to speak her truth. She stood in the frontlines to speak against colonialism. Her story will never be forgotten.
