Geotimes - December 2003 - Bringing Sustainability to the People of Nunavut Nunavut’s geology is diverse, representing more than 3 billion years of Earth’s history and encompassing many environments that are favorable for large ore bodies. The Government of Nunavut embraces the United Nations’ Brundtland definition of sustainable development, which states that development must be undertaken in ways that “meet the needs of the present, without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs” (see story, this issue). Nunavut has a very young and rapidly growing population; about 60 percent is under the age of 25, and 41 percent under the age of 16. www.agiweb.org /geotimes/dec03/feature_Nunavut.html   (1793 words)

Ausuittuq (Grise Fiord), Ausuittuq, Ausuittuq The "recent" history of Ausuittuq (Grise Fiord), the northernmost Canadian Inuit community, began in 1953 when the Canadian government moved four Inuit families from the east coast of Hudson Bay to the south-east of Ellesmere Island, without taking account of the fact that these people were accustomed to quite different living conditions. The two Inuit groups have failed to integrate and have retained their separate languages and customs; even as late as 1962, when Grise Fiord was founded as a settlement, their houses were kept separate. In spite of Grise Fjord being a show-piece settlement with a number of advantages - relatively well provided with the benefits of "civilization" - these are more than offset by the disadvantages of a small, still somewhat "artificial" settlement with a number of social problems, not the least of which is finding a suitable spouse. www.planetware.com /ausuittuq/ausuittuq-grise-fiord-cdn-nu-nuea.htm   (325 words)
