I want to use this opportunity to say thank you for your kind words and warm congratulations following my appointment as Nunavut's Commissioner strengthened by these wishes, I will work for the betterment of the people of Nunavut and Canada in the time I have been given. I am extremely honoured to be asked to speak to you about my culture and language. Whenever, I am asked to speak about my culture, and language, I normally do it with great deal of pride and joy! I want to talk to you about Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit, our words for Inuit Traditional Knowledge. I use Inuit Traditional Knowledge every day in my home and my professional life. At most times, I visioned the future using Inuit Traditional Knowledge. With the coming of the missionaries and the explorers, drum dancing was discouraged and even forbidden. The newcomers believed this expression of joy to be an expression of evil. Heavily influenced by these newcomers many Inuit stopped the practice of drumming. In several regions of Nunavut, Inuit have almost forgotten how to drum.
