Representatives from the Canadian government just traveled to northern Quebec to apologize to the Inuit people of Nunavik for the mass killing of sled dogs some six decades ago.
The apology comes with $45 million in compensation. The actions are acknowledgement of the government’s callous regard for the wishes, much less the livelihoods, of the Inuit as it carried out the slaughter of more than 1,000 dogs.
The money will go toward revitalizing sled dog culture through training and operational support. Join Native America Calling to hear about what brought on the action and how Inuit in Nunavik worked to secure accountability.
