"As someone who would like to see our environment remain as clean and pure as possible, it's difficult to say no to mining development projects that actually bring financial revenues of sorts. (…) Though, the economic aspect of mining can be beneficial to the communities, there's also a long-term negative impact on Inuit way of life."
"I don't think every mining project is created equally. There are certain types of mining maybe we're going to try and stay away from. But it's an opportunity we've been given as a living in Nunavik."
"My husband worked for the prospectors looking for ore while I did the laundry for the white people. I would spend the whole day washing their clothes. In the 2 years I worked, I received just 2 dollars. "
"Before the James Bay agreement, there was really no services at that time. It's only when they [the government] started finding out what potential there was for Nunavik in terms of the minerals, the waters. So only when they saw something, that's when they started being here."
"The Nunavik territory always been considered as a underexplored area. There's a high potential of finding mineral resources. Before, there was on an annual basis about 20,000 to 25,000 claims being designated in Nunavik. And last year we counted about 50,000. So exploration activities has been doubled."
