Talk:NunatuKavut

Inuit, not Metis

This article was edited over by another user, to make the article suggest the people of NunatuKavut were most likely Metis. On the talk page of Inuit-Metis, it was clarified that there is academic consensus that the people of NunatuKavut are Inuit, not Metis. - Oosting (talk) 04:52, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

Casing

Could someone knowledgable with Inuit languages explain what's going on with the camel casing? What are the letters used in the alphabetization scheme? -Iceburg Lettuce (talk) 15:46, 10 November 2013 (UTC)

"unrecognized" - by whom?

do the people unrecognize themselves? 142.163.195.114 (talk) 01:38, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

It was covered further down the page in more detail but I've changed the opening. CambridgeBayWeather (solidly non-human), Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 17:20, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

No, other groups have tried to discredit the organization and choose to not recognize the group. However, NCC has legal standing. LabradorNCC (talk) 03:10, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

Validity in Content

Claims from other groups, such as Nunatsiavut and Innu Nation should not be present on this page. The sole purpose of their claim that they do not recognize NCC is merely to demean the legitimacy of NunatuKavut. It has no bearing to take away from the facts at hand and is NOT necessary to be included in this page. The Supreme Court has aproved NunatuKavut to continue their fight for land claims as they DO have legal rights as a group. https://nunatukavut.ca/article/nunatukavut-community-council-celebrates-unequivocal-win-in-federal-court-on-rights-and-recognition-mou/ LabradorNCC (talk) 03:10, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

pls review WP:Promotion and WP:Conflict of interest.Moxy🍁 03:53, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

If well-sourced content only shows part of the story then it would be appropriate to add text supported by reliable sources presenting the opposing view. I lack expertise/background in this area, but the fact these parties reached the point of a Federal court judgment seems to indicate this is not a random slander of the group but rather a challenge with some substance.

Repeatedly removing content and claiming it's only there for POV can it itself be a form of POV-pushing. It may also be seen as violating rules against edit warring.

It would be helpful if @LabradorNCC could state whether they have a connection to this group. Certainly the username suggests a connection - is this a fair assumption? Oblivy (talk) 04:03, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

This link shows that the federal government DISMISSED the claim that NunatuKavut is not recognized. Please read your sources before posting them. 209.128.11.201 (talk) 15:33, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

posting sources to talk about....said nothing about them. Dont get blocked before you can make your argument. Moxy🍁 15:40, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

@LabradorNCCcannot because they have been blocked since posting. One Indigenous group's opinion about whether or not another group should be recognized does not mean they are not recognized. There is a great deal of racism happening towards NunatuKavut which has actually resulted in the physical attack of a young girl. Having this posted on the NunatuKavut page just further supports lateral violence directed at the group. If you read the link in LabradorNCC's comment, you would see that the Federal government is allowing the group to proceed with their land claims case without any further interuptions from other organizations; i.e., Nunatsiavut. 209.128.11.201 (talk) 15:32, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

Need independent sources.....to be clear .The community was officially recognized as the NunatuKavut Community Council in 2005 correct? Was it metis at the time? Moxy🍁 15:43, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

It was called "Labrador Metis Association" back then as the group is a mixture of Inuit and European settlers. Branching out as NunatuKavut was to better reflect the group that did not perfectly align with the Metis either. You can read about the longstanding battle regarding identity of the group here. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/nunatukavut-inuit-identity-dispute-has-long-history-1.6369649

As stated by the Newfoundland and Labrador government, members have a valid claim of Aboriginal title and treaty rights, and asserts there are two separate and distinct Inuit populations in Labrador: the South Central Labrador Inuit (NCC) and the Northern Inuit (Nunatsiavut Government).https://www.gov.nl.ca/exec/iar/nunatukavut-community-council/. While NCC and NG are different groups of Inuit, they are both valid.

The Innu Nation, also based in Labrador, had asked the Federal Court to throw out the memorandum signed in 2019, saying the NunatuKavit Community council’s land claims overlap with their territory and the Crown had failed to consult with them. The Inuit Nunatsiavut government in northern Labrador similarly does not recognize the council as an Inuit group, nor does Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami but the provincial and federal government DO. https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/self-identifying-inuit-group-court-ruling

To conclude, just because other Indigenous groups in the area choose to not recognize the NunatuKavut based on a history of conflict, the governments of Newfoundland and Labrador, as well as Canada, do. Having the part about other groups opinion at the top of the NunatuKavut page is harmful to their identity as a group and sets the tone of the wikipedia page for readers to view the group as "less" before even reading the entirety. 209.128.11.201 (talk) 16:00, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

You may or may not have a valid point. However, block evasion is not the way to get your point across. Follow the instructions at User talk:LabradorNCC#September 2024 to continue editing and then discuss on the relevant talk pages.

redid lead.....hopefully more clear....and toned down. Moxy🍁 16:54, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

Thanks. It now appears we have proponents of both sides. CambridgeBayWeather (solidly non-human), Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 17:33, 23 September 2024 (UTC)
