News from Newfoundland and Labrador, 4 July.

A canine partner was used to track down a suspect after an incident in the east end of St John's.

2. John Byrne and Crystal Chislett have been charged in Harbour Grace with producing guns and weapons using a 3D printer. The police seized long guns, handguns, some of which were made with a 3D printer, ammunition, and a security uniform complete with body armor

3. Three people were displaced after their home flooded in Sally's Cove due to a partially blocked culvert. The Red Cross has arranged emergency lodging, meals, and transportation for the affected individuals

4. Federal grocery rebate payments will be hitting bank accounts tomorrow.

5. Pierre Poilievre is visiting Newfoundland and Labrador and discussing the burden of green taxes, which a conservative government would nix, he says.

6. Oil contaminants have been found in wild eggs in Labrador's north coast, leading to warnings and guidelines on consumption to minimize health risks.

The contamination is believed to be linked to a diesel spill in 2020, raising concerns about the long-term impact on traditional Inuit diets and livelihoods.

There is a need for increased communication, research, and mitigation efforts to address the contamination source and protect the food chain in northern communities.

Seeing a lot of posts about the Palestinian flag, and it got me thinking about indigenous flags around the world.

Māori:

Kalaallit Nunaat:

Haudenosaunee

Nunatsiavut:

Australian Aboriginal:

Torres Strait Islands:

Rapa Nui:

Kurdistan:

Sami:

Ainu:

Of course, these are just a handful. May they all reclaim their stolen lands.

New dawn for Arctic’s first people: the Inuit plan to reclaim their sea.

The environment Inuit have lived in for millennia is changing fast. Canada’s government once ignored Indigenous knowledge of it but now they are jointly creating the Nunatsiavut conservation area.

Martin Shiwak accelerates his boat to grab the seal he has shot before the animal sinks out of sight. Shiwak has hunted for years in the waters of Lake Melville, by the Inuit community of Rigolet in Nunatsiavut. “Sometimes you have to drive around here in the boat nearly all day to find a seal,” Shiwak says. “ And nowadays you can’t even afford to – $60 only gets you five gallons of gas.” Winter temperatures can average -30C (-22F) with the windchill. The Labrador current brings Arctic ice floes down along the coast, and a host of marine life. From November to June, shipping is impossible because sea ice covers the entire 9,320-mile (15,000km) coastline, so all food and supplies must be flown in. In Rigolet, a frozen 1.5kg (3.3lb) chicken will set you back $25 (£20). Hunting here is not just a tradition but a necessity. harsh environment for so long, the climatic conditions they rely on are changing.

Since 1950, Nunatsiavut has lost 40 days of ground snow a year. Its sea ice is vanishing faster than anywhere in the Canadian Arctic. In his lifetime, Shiwak has witnessed the winters becoming warmer, wetter, and shorter.

La cineasta Jennie Williams nos lleva a los confines del norte de Terranova y Labrador, Canadá, para ver una tradición de Año Nuevo de los Nunatsiavut, el pueblo inuit de la región. Durante el festival, los lugareños emergen del mar con ropa andrajosa y máscaras aterradoras para llevar regalos a los niños buenos y perseguir a los niños malos.
