Broken Promises: The High Arctic Relocation / 1995

In the summer of 1953, the Canadian government relocated seven Inuit families from Northern Québec to the High Arctic. They were promised an abundance of game and fish - in short, a better life. The government assured the Inuit that if things didn't work out, they could return home after two years. Two years later, another 35 people joined them. It would be thirty years before any of them saw their ancestral lands again. Abandoned in flimsy tents, the Inuit were left to fend for themselves in the desolate settlements of Resolute Bay and Grise Fiord, where the sea was nearly always frozen and darkness reigned for months on end. Suffering from hunger, extreme cold, sickness, alcoholism and poverty, Québec's Inuit had become the victims of a government policy supposedly designed to return them to their "native state". Evidence points to the government's wish to strengthen Canada's sovereignty in the Arctic as playing a part in the decision to relocate.

The process was developed by English psychologist and scientist Cecil Stokes, who was the founder and technical director of the company.

the fecund, the lush and the salted land waits for a harvest...her people...ripe with promise, wait until the next blowing season / 2022

In this lyrical and immersive installation by Deborah Jack, shots of lush orange pomegranates mix with the ocean, sky, and shoreline. Filmed by the artist around her mother's home on Saint Martin, these images appear alongside footage of salt mining from a 1948 Dutch documentary about the island. Pomegranates and salt, both emblems of death and rebirth, share a common legacy as commodities of the colonial economy in the region. Using movement, color, and time, Jack's installation serves as a condemnation of the destructive nature of economies based on resource extraction, as well as a reclamation of the Caribbean's visual and material cultures. Her work complicates fixed understandings of the Caribbean, offering an invitation into the myriad, shifting histories and identities held within the landscape itself.
