\u201cComing to know the past has been part of the critical pedagogy of decolonization.\u201d Saa uses this\u00a0statement by Linda Tuhiwai Smith to frame and map her narrative of the Lake Harbour Relocation \u2013\u00a0\u201cthe before\u201d and \u201cthe after.\u201d Three Elders provided the details of the lives of Inuit prior to relocation:\u00a0self-sufficient and nomadic, thriving on their skills and local resources.\u00a0Three adults shared their life\u00a0experiences living in two worlds: traditional versus contemporary. Saa was three when her family was relocated and draws on the details of her own memories as well. Leaving a cooperative culture\u00a0where men, women and children worked together and shared resources, the children began formal\u00a0schooling, predominantly in English, where individuality and competition took over. A chasm\u00a0opened between children and their parents. Saa envisions a new tomorrow: a way of learning that\u00a0reconnects the Elders from before and the children of now.<\/p>\n
