An Inuit Critique of Canadian Arctic Research
Arctic research continues to operate in a colonial framework and with an academic mindset that largely privileges the interests of southern institutions and fails to address Northern societal needs and issues, in particular those experienced in Inuit communities. We have seen research principles go from research on Inuit to research with Inuit, but it is high time we witnessed research by Inuit for Inuit. If research informs policy, and policy arguably leads to change, Inuit need to have a say in how research in Inuit Nunangat (Inuit homelands) is governed to better their lives. This piece filters such matters through the eyes of an Inuk, offering insights into current Arctic research governance, and maps out some of the solutions and opportunities for altering it in the interests of Inuit communities.

Fauna boreali-americana, or, The zoology of the northern parts of British America : containing descriptions of the objects of natural history collected on the late northern land expeditions under command of Captain Sir John Franklin, R.N (BAnQ)
Three volumes of the scientific work Fauna Boreali-Americana, written by John Richardson with contributions from William Swainson and Reverend William Kriby. John Richardson participated in Sir John Franklin’s first two Arctic expeditions as a physician and naturalist. Published between 1829 and 1837, each of these three volumes is dedicated to a specific animal species: insects, birds and quadrupeds. This work is an interesting example of Predarwinian natural history, containing detailed descriptions of the appearance, anatomy and behavior of different species. Descriptions of species sometimes include details about their interactions with humans.
