About this listen
In this episode, we learn about Grise Fjord, Canada’s northernmost community, and about the Inuit families that were forcibly relocated there in the 1950’s, serving as human flag poles. Premier P.J. Akeeagok’s family was one of them. Their personal stories reveal how sovereignty isn’t just about borders, but about people. For Inuit, sovereignty isn’t an abstract concept. It’s rooted in survival, sacrifice and home, while bearing a strong sense of patriotism.
With renewed geopolitical tensions, as well as climate change, Canada is looking north. It’s time for a shift from symbolic sovereignty to a real investment, not only in defence and infrastructure, but in communities as a foundation of a secure Arctic.
