    Nunavut: un esfuerzo hacia el entendimiento étnico
    (2003) Jorge Morales Gómez
    En 1993, el gobierno de Canada y la etnia Inuit acordaron crear una nueva provincia, llamada Nunavut, nuestra tierra. Por su administracion, los Innuit reciben 1.1 billones de dolares canadienses durante 14 anos pero no haran mas reclamos de tierras en Canada. Los Inuit de Nunavut tienen planes de manejo de fauna y estan invirtiendo en nuevas empresas propias, con el apoyo del gobierno, pues crear fuentes de empleo es una prioridad. Nunavut es una oportunidad para rescatar practicas de caza y pesca en un nuevo contexto, y se espera un renacer del esencialismo etnico. El gobierno canadiense y los Inuit demuestran asi que las minorias etnicas pueden ser duenas de su propio destino. Abstract In 1993, the Government of Canada and the Inuit people signed an agreement for the creation of a new territory, called Nunavut, our land. By this, Inuit besides receive 1.1 billion dollars (can.) during 14 years for its administration, but decline any other land claim in Canada. Nunavut Inuit have developing plans of wildlife management and harvesting for them, and they are investing in trusts and enterprises of their own, with federal supporting. Employment is an urgent need for Nunavut. In this paper I argue that Nunavut is a valid opportunity for rescuing hunting and fishing practices in a new context, and that it will improve directly Inuit ethnic essentialism. Canadian government and Inuit demonstrate that ethnic minorities may be owners of their destiny.
