RCMP Spied on Inuit Leaders Seeking Nunavut
Description
Declassified documents unveil RCMPs surveillance of Inuit leaders in the 1970s, including John Amagoalik, the Father of Nunavut. The Mounties built a three-volume dossier under their Native extremism program, tailing Amagoalik and others as they drafted their Nunavut proposal. The surveillance, which included paid informers and electronic bugs, created paranoia and division. The RCMPs top brass has issued a regret statement, and talks with Indigenous leaders are planned for healing.
