\nAfter attending a lecture given by Ottawa consultant, Terry Fenge, in November, I became intrigued by the possibility of accepting observer states in the Arctic Council. Would new observers crowd the Council and\/or overwhelm the roles of the Permanent Participants? If however, we find it appropriate to recommend additional observer states, how could their presence be used for forging international legitimacy in executing common goals of environmental and Indigenous protections? I would like to explore the kinds of connections that the Permanent Participants may use to continue bringing about awareness and positive progress in the international arenas of Indigenous rights and environmental protection.<\/p>\n

\nAfter taking courses that focus on the transformation of human rights in relation to climate change, I am extremely passionate about researching how indigenous communities and individuals have established such a foothold on the global dialogue about the extraction of the bountiful Arctic resources. I especially want to focus on the change of the environment and its effects on international perspectives of human rights in the area.<\/p>\n

\nThe Inuit are a young population, but with a dropout rate of almost 75% there is a large educational gap between aboriginal and non-aboriginal Canadians. In recent years strategies have been developed in order to improve Inuit-centered public education to allow for students to better contribute to Inuit, Canadian and global society which will be key to their role in Arctic security.<\/p>\n

\nFor this task force, I hope to focus my research on issues relevant to indigenous public health in the Arctic, including food sovereignty, water security, disease control, and access to housing. I am particularly interested in the ways in which art mediums can be harnessed to assert sovereignty and communicate the demands of marginalized communities.<\/p>\n
