In June, we commemorate\u00a0National Indigenous History Month<\/a>. During this month, the EMBA McGill-HEC Montreal spotlights some of our Indigenous Alumni. They share about who they are, what their personnal statement mission is and what Indigenous History Month means to them.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Jason Annahatak<\/h1>\n

WHO ARE YOU?<\/h3>\n

I\u2019m Jason Annahatak, an Inuk (singular of Inuit) from the Nunavik region of northern Quebec. I am originally from Kangirsuk: a small fishing village in the Ungava Bay.<\/p>\n

WHAT DO YOU DO FOR A LIVING?<\/h3>\n

I am a Business development manager at Makivik Corporation, an ethnic Inuit organization with several mandates ranging from protecting and growing Inuit heritage funds, advocating for lnuit \u00a0rights, to improving housing, promoting education, and alleviating poverty.<\/p>\n

WHAT IS YOUR PERSONAL MISSION STATEMENT?<\/h3>\n

To be a positive agent in the betterment of our social & cultural community as Inuit, as well as to the economic improvement of our isolated villages<\/p>\n

WHAT MAKES THIS STATEMENT SO IMPORTANT TO YOU?<\/h3>\n

I\u2019m tied to the north by family and friends regardless of the fact that I live in Montreal. I want their\/our communities to improve and thrive. What happens in our arctic communities affects me even if I\u2019m physically living and working in the city<\/p>\n

WHAT DOES NATIONAL INDIGENOUS HISTORY MONTH MEAN TO YOU?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It\u2019s a chance for Canada to see and experience \u00a0indigenous culture be celebrated and built up, rather than the opposite tendencies that have pervaded our history. It\u2019s a chance for our nation to reflect on the merits and disadvantages the colonial system that our entire country is based on.<\/p>\n
