 | High Arctic Relocation (Canadian history, 1953-1955) | |
| Note: Forced relocation of Inuit families from Inukjuak and Mittimatalik (Pond Inlet) to newly created settlements in Canada's far north. The project was devised by the Canadian government to establish a strong presence in the Arctic during the Cold War and to enforce Inuit return to pre-contact lifeways. Inuit families were sent to Cornwallis and Ellesmere islands with the promise of abundant game and the ability to return home in two years. Neither of these conditions were met; starvation was common and some Inuit were not able to return their home communities until thirty years after their departure. Some of these communities, like Grise Ford in Ellesmere, are still inhabited. In 2010, two monuments were erected in Grise Ford and Qausuittuq (Cornwallis Island) to commemorate the exiled families. | |
