Thank you for that question.
I have maintained that, with all the money that was raised by the animal rights groups—animalists, as they call them—they need to pay every Inuk from all the money they have made, $1 million, to repair what damage has been caused and all the death and hunger that Inuit have suffered.
We have to aim high. We have to dream high and that's my dream. It's that more reparations should be given to the communities—not just the “we're sorry we harmed you” kind of attitude that Greenpeace had.
The impact on our community is the most severe, as we had mentioned before, because we are still a hunting culture. We still depend on hunting and sharing the food. When we can't share the food, then people go hungry and no money is made. When the price of the sealskin fell from $100 to $10, our own government had to compensate that amount of money because it knows how important it is for our hunters to keep feeding our communities.
Inuit have borne the cost of this.
