Christine Qillasiq Lussier is an Inuk and Quebecer woman who recently graduated from a master’s degree at Concordia University in Inuit oral history. Her maternal ties are to Salluit, Nunavik, and her paternal ties are to Tio’tià:ke/Montreal, where she grew up. Her work looks at the implications of forced sedentarization and assimilation in the north and the socio-cultural colonial legacies that shape contemporary villages in the Arctic. Her upcoming work aims to explore Inuit oral history archives and to breathe new life into significant Inuit narratives and historical figures that have been silenced through colonization to undo the shaming of Inuit into western assimilation by colonial bodies. Lussier is also interested in topics relating to community and youth engagement in Nunavik, displacement, structural violence, mental health, resurgence, advocacy, and languages.
