Nunavut Arctic College

The Nunavut Echo is an on-line community and student newspaper published with the support of Nunavut Arctic College and the Nunavut Research Institute. With campuses, community learning centres and research facilities in all of Nunavut's 25 communities, our goal is to cover, publish and share news and information of interest to the education, science and research communities across Canada's Eastern Arctic.

This site is also the home of a volunteer-driven effort to digitize past issues of Nunavut newspapers, such as the Keewatin Echo, the namesake of this web site. One of the first English-Inuktitut language newspapers in Canada, the Keewatin Echo was originally published in Eskimo Point, Northwest Territories (now Arviat, Nunavut) in the 1960s and 1970s by the late writer and translator, Mark Kalluak. In all, this site contains almost five decades of Eastern Arctic news and information and we continue to add more content each month.

We are proud to carry on this tradition, and welcome our students, staff, readers and supporters of Arctic science and education to contribute their articles, poems, stories and news.

Publishing of this site is made possible through the support of the Government of Canada's Knowledge Infrastructure Program (KIP), the Nunavut Arctic College Public Affairs Office and the Nunavut Research Institute.

WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE FOLLOWING ORGANIZATIONS FOR THEIR SUPPORT:
