Northern Perspectives:
Jane Glassco Fellowship Interviews
In this special feature, Yellowhead conducted a series of interviews with the 2019 Jane Glassco Northern Fellows with the aim of amplifying the research and perspectives of Northern Indigenous policy analysts.
The Jane Glassco Northern Fellowship is a policy and leadership development program recognizing leadership potential among young Northerners who seem to address policy challenges facing the North. The topics discussed in these interviews range from land-based programming, Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit, language revitalization, mental health services, the intersection of education and Land Claim agreements, and more.
Over the next while, we will continue adding new interview features to this page – stay tuned!
Tina DeCouto discusses the application of Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit and Inuit Societal Values throughout the territorial government administration and delivery of territorial government services in Nunavut in this interview.
2018-2019 Glassco Fellow, Ashley Carvill discusses her paper, Turning to Traditional Processes for Supporting Mental Health, which investigates how Indigenous values and practices can have a positive impact on individual and community mental health and wellbeing.
