We’re delighted to present the March 2013 edition of the Aumaaggiivik newsletter.
Le premier cocktail-bénéfice d’Avataq, tenu le 5 décembre 2012, à la Verrière du Musée des Beaux-Arts de Montréal, a rencontré le succès escompté. Le généreux soutien de la communauté des affaires a permis d’atteindre l’objectif financier visé de 100 000$. Grand merci au comité d’honneur, à nos prestigieux commanditaires et à tous nos invités.
The AVATAQ Cultural Institute can say “mission accomplished!” AVATAQ’s very first fundraiser, with top Nunavik policy makers, the business community and the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Élizabeth Larouche, as well as Inuit representatives from the 14 communities in Québec’s North, the Institute has raised $100,000, fully achieving its ambitious objective for this first public fundraising campaign.
When the Hudson's Bay Company had arrived in Puvirnituq in the beginning of the 1950's, Juani POV, Tamusi Qumak, and Peter Murdoch would climb to the roof of the storehouse and throw candies and other stuff to the people on the ground.
Beatrice Deer is one of Nunavik’s favorite singer-songwriters. Originally from Quaqtaq, she now lives and works out of Montreal.
