The thesis also adds much to the literature by using two works by Inuit\u2014the memoir and documentary film\u2014to emphasize the importance of having Inuit perspectives on the positive and negative impacts of the agreement on the Inuit themselves. She argues that the lessons learned from the agreement are still in play today and that the Nunavimmiut have paved the way for many Indigenous relations with provincial and territorial governments in Canada.<\/p>\n<p>Amy Delo was also an Arctic Fellow (2016\u201317), part of the Jackson School&#8217;s International Policy Institute&#8217;s program.
