ENCOURAGEMENT AWARD TO “TASIILAQ NUAN” By Søren P. Lyberth In connection with the work on the UN 2019 International Year of Indigenous Languages, ICC Greenland, represented by President Hjalmar Dahl and Special Assistant Tukumminnguaq Nykjær Olsen, visited the small East Greenland town Tasiilaq.
At a meeting on October 31, 2019 ICC donated DKK 5,000 as an Encouragement Award to the newly established association “Tasiilaq Nuan” (Wonderful Tasiilaq). “Tasiilaq Nuan” was established by the citizens of the town, and its chairman Gert Ignatiussen said that the new association was established with the purpose of changing the surrounding world’s view of the town: “Tasiilaq is not only a troubled town as the
INUIT TUSAATAAT · ICC GREENLAND NEWSLETTER · 12-2019
media describes it. In Tasiilaq also many good things are happening.” Ignatiussen also mentioned that since the association just has been established, a board representing various sectors of the society would be appointed. Further the plan is to establish a foundation. Another goal is to make a film about Tasiilaq with focus on the realities going on in the society. 1

ICC GREENLAND EDUCATION COMMITTEE By Søren P. Lyberth At the Inuit Education Summit in Nuuk, February 2018, it was agreed that ICC should establish an education committee. The idea is to work out plans for improving the Inuit education system by exchanging best methods between the four regions. Kattie Egede Motzfeldt and Birthe Møller Therkildsen from the teachers’ organiza-
tion IMAK is the members of the Inuit international education committee. Together with the municipalities and the teachers’ organization IMAK ICC Greenland has established a Greenland education committee where Therkildsen was elected as a chairman and all 5 municipalities will also have a membership. At the meeting a variety of education methods were discussed. Inuit cultures, the environment and living conditions should be teach-

The work of the ICC Education Committee will be presented at the annual ICC meeting in 2022, until then, the committee will continue its work. 2

DIGITAL STORYTELLING, A KEY TO ADDRESS YOUTH SUICIDE By Tukumminnguaq N. Olsen The SDWG Project CREATeS aims to support community and youth involvement towards effective action that reduces suicide and promotes mental wellness among Arctic Indigenous youth and communities. Together with the Arctic Council’s Sustainable Development Working Group (SDWG) ICC has initiated the project and organized workshops with young people
throughout the Arctic, including Nuuk in the spring of 2019. Digital stories have been produced by representatives of the Indigenous youth across the circumpolar Arctic and are now available to view online. The stories are revealing candid, powerful, and personal insights into the issue of suicide. So far there are 20 digital stories from the Inuit youth in Canada, Greenland, and Alaska,
INUIT TUSAATAAT · ICC GREENLAND NEWSLETTER · 12-2019
5 from the Gwich’in and Athabaskan youth in Canada, and another 8 stories that originates from Sápmi and Canada. Out of the 20 Inuit stories, 9 are from different parts of Greenland. The short films, which have been created by the Arctic Indigenous youth, are available for the global community to view at https://www.projectcreates.com/

ICELAND’S ARCTIC COUNCIL CHAIRMANSHIP 2019-2021
By Mads Fægteborg
MINISTERIAL MEETINGS Every Ministerial Meeting up until the 11th has produced a Joint Declaration signed by the Ministers. The meeting in Rovaniemi turned out to be an exception since the United States refused to sign the Declaration, which contained wording on climate change. The compromise became a “Joint Statement” where the members reaffirmed their collective “commitment to maintain peace, stability and constructive co-operation in the Arctic”. Since the Declarations not are legally binding for the Member
States, especially ICC and the other PP’s criti cised the US position. “Refusing to allow the words ‘climate change’ into the declaration is a moral failure,” said Dalee Sambo Dorough, International Chair of the ICC, and continued: “This is the first time the Arctic Council has failed to issue a declaration at the end of a twoyear chairmanship, and it’s a serious blow to the future of what is supposed to be a consensus based body,” “Inuit are feeling the effects of climate change everyday.” “While the US Govern ment concerns itself with semantics, playing games with words, our people are witnessing the adverse impacts of climate change. What about us and our reality?” (ICC Press Release, May 7 2019). The Finnish chair released a separate statement that appeared to be an amended version of what would have been the declaration. It noted, “A majority of us regarded climate change as a fundamental challenge facing the Arctic and acknowledged the urgent need to take mitigation and adaptation actions and to strengthen resilience.” (http://polarconnection. org/arctic-council-ministerial-rovaniemi/)

TOGETHER TOWARDS A SUSTAINABLE ARCTIC The theme “Together towards a sustainable Arctic” of the Icelandic Chairmanship for 20192021 reflects the country’s commitment to the principle of sustainable development and refers to the necessity of close cooperation between the Member States and peoples of the region. With sustainable development as a headline theme, Iceland will highlight four priorities: • The Arctic Marine Environment • Climate and Green Energy Solutions • People and Communities of the Arctic, and • A Stronger Arctic Council. Since Inuit Nunaat is the homeland of Peoples mainly living of marine mammals, ICC welcomes the Icelandic decision on highlighting the plastic pollution in the Arctic Marine Environment. The PP’s including the ICC has often talked about the structure of the Council where the PP’s have no voting rights as the Member States. The PP’s find the time mature to be granted full and equal membership with full voting rights.

When the eight Foreign Ministers met at the 11th Arctic Council Ministerial meeting in Rovaniemi, Finland in May 2019 with the leaders from the six Indigenous Permanent Participant organizations (PP) and Chairs of the six Working Groups, Finland turned over the Chairmanship to Iceland.

ARCTIC LEADERS’ SUMMIT In the days of November 12-15, 2019 the city of Rovaniemi in Finland hosted the the 6th Arctic Leaders Summit - the Arctic Leaders’ Summit (ALS VI).
From press release nov. 16. 2019 The six international indigenous peoples’ organizations, who are Permanent Participants (PP) in the Arctic Council, brought together about 70 participants, who eagerly debated a number of issues of mutual interest.
THE YOUTH ON THE FIELD At this summit, for the first time, a youth summit was organized, in which 27 young people from Alaska, Canada, Greenland, Finland, Norway, Sweden and Russia participated and cooperated on a joint declaration presented to the par ticipants at the actual summit. – The main message from the Youth Summit aroused joy because the joint statement expressed the youth’s commitment and willingness to get involved in the Arctic cooperation, Hjalmar Dahl, President of ICC Greenland said.
DIALOGUE WITH THE OBSERVERS Another innovation at this year’s ALS was the invitation to a dialogue with individual representatives from observer countries and organizations at the Arctic Council (Poland, the Netherlands,
France, the UArctic and the International Arctic Science Committee - IASC). The dialogue was very constructive with specific focus on those areas where the observers directly can support projects, which may involve the indigenous peoples and their organizations.
JOINT DECLARATION ON LANGUAGE AND CLIMATE CHANGE ALS VI was concluded with the signing of a joint declaration focusing on the indigenous peoples’ languages, which are changing as the climate changes. • More specifically, the Declaration states that climate change constitutes an emergency for Arctic lands, waters, animals and Peoples, which is why it is important to enter into partnerships to achieve the progress that is the objectives of the Paris Agreement. • Furthermore, the Declaration states that the Nation States must do more for implementing the Declaration on Indigenous Peoples’ Rights (UNDRIP) from 2007. • A third issue was of course, to make further and greater efforts for children and young people, so that they grow up in healthy communities, also focussing on suicide. • The Declaration, which is official but not legally binding, will in future make a good basis for the future cooperation between the six indigenous peoples’ organizations, Hjalmar Dahl expressed.
