Seeking Identity<\/p>\n

Abstract<\/p>\n

Inuit need to know and understand colonization before they can begin decolonizing. They need to name and recognize the impact of colonization in order to start the process of decolonization. This paper addresses my own need to decolonize by describing some of the colonizing forces that have had a negative impact on my life. These forces include experiences in a hospital while undergoing treatment for tuberculosis as well as my forced attendance at a residential school and the impact of an arranged marriage. It considers my experiences as an Inuit educator in the late sixties and early seventies when the school system focused on an assimilationist agenda. Finally, the paper reflects on my own search for Inuit identity and healing. It describes my work with Elders and how this has enabled me to change, decolonize and understand what has taken place for Inuit over the last 60 years. Many indigenous people all over the world have begun to decolonize and some Inuit in Nunavut are now starting this process, which is prompting a rediscovery and reclaiming of our culture, traditions, and language.<\/p>\n

Key words: colonization, decolonization, Inuit, Nunavut, reclaiming, assimilationist<\/p>\n
