New Series Alert!
Been wondering what we've been cooking up during those long periods of silence?
The Indigenous Peoples’ Secretariat and On The Land in collaboration with the Permanent Participant Youth Network and the Permanent Participants, brings you a new podcast series. Our Arctic Presence features the story of how the Arctic Council Permanent Participant organizations came to be and coordinate across international Arctic borders. If you are from the Arctic and wonder how Indigenous issues are advocated for, this is the podcast for you. Join us as we hear Indigenous Youth speak to their Permanent Participants’ history and interview leaders.
The Arctic. It has always held its allure. Often known as the “Last Frontier,” the tundra and taiga that defines the topmost part of the northern hemisphere has been the subject of many an explorer’s daydream. This place, this frozen expanse technically known as a “desert” due to the low levels of precipitation that fall each year, is also known as home.
For millennia, the Arctic has been home to the Indigenous Peoples of the North. From Sápmi to Inuit Nunat, Gwichyaa Zhee’ to Denendeh, Tanax to Yakutia, stories ring from these lands. Though the Peoples have always been meeting and engaged in trade and ceremony with one another, Arctic cooperation was strengthened 25 years ago when the Indigenous Peoples joined the Arctic States of Iceland, Finland, Sweden, the Russian Federation, the Kingdom of Denmark, The United States of America, Norway, and Canada in forming the Arctic Council.
This is our Story.
Episode 1 dropping today Saturday, December 18th, speaks to the story of how the Permanent Participant organizations were developed and became involved with the Arctic Council.
