Abstract
In the mid-twentieth century, the forced relocation of Inuit from small hunting and fishing camps to larger, more central settlements shattered the longstanding ways of knowing and being that had defined relationships between people and their environment (Qikiqtani Truth Commission, 2010; Nunavut Tungavik Incorporated, 2012). Incorporating family trees, oral history and vivid autobiographical narrative, the author of this paper explores the impact of this relocation in the eastern Qikiqtani on her immediate and extended family. She concludes with the need for healing and the promise that it can happen.
