Today we honour Inuit Elders — knowledge holders, survivors, and guides.

As an Inuk End-of-Life Doula, I walk with our Elders at the end of life in the spirit of pijitsirniq — to serve with compassion and care.

Nakummek to those who have walked before us!

Just seeing this great post from @miskoaki.bsky.social highlighting an excellent brief by my friend, @pjc709.bsky.social

Worth a read in the times we're experiencing.

screenshot of an Instagram post. The top half of the post is a photo of a beautiful landscape with trees and plant life in the foreground as well as water and more mountains in the background. The bottom contains text: THE YELLOWHEAD BRIEF APRIL 16, 2025 | #164 Pijitsirniq and Ikajuqtiginniq as an Alternative Approach to Economic Development in Inuit Nunangat by Patricia Johnson-Castle @yellowheadinstitute yellowheadinstitute Economic development strategies in Inuit Nunangat typically borrow the philosophy and tools used in Southern Canada. But this has never - and will never - work in the North. In this Brief, Patricia Johnson-Castle considers the contradictions of capitalist development solutions and proposes Inuit values as an alternative development framework; one that better reflects the realities, scale and culture of Inuit Nunangat. Photography: View of Nain from Annainak's Trail, Patricia Johnson-Castle Read the full Brief, link in bio. Capitalism is another way to discipline Inuit culture towards assimilation by encouraging individuals to build wealth by undercutting and competing with others. This ideology flies in the face of Inuit values, and it is time to ask critical questions of ourselves and our leaders about the shape of our economic futures. - PATRICIA JOHNSON-CASTLE - THE YELLOWHEAD BRIEF Capitalism is another way to discipline Inuit culture towards assimilation by encouraging individuals to build wealth by undercutting and competing with others.
