StoriesNew MSC research project studies historic letters written by Inuit EldersFrom the boundless territory of Nunavut come fragile and carefully kept documents that changed the history of not only northern Canada but the entire country. "These are incredibly important documents of Inuit history in Canada," says Schoeppner. "The translated letters will also allow insights into Inuit resistance, resilience, leadership, and conflict resolution practices," says Schoeppner. While Schoeppner says they have a rough idea of what the letters say, a significant part of this research project will be getting the letters translated. By studying the letters written by Elders who have now passed away, Schoeppner says the research team is excited to bring history into the present.
