Notes

1 “I live in a country where both official languages are foreign languages.”

2 I also note the different fields of specialization that we originally come from: Henitiuk works in translation studies and world literature; Mahieu teaches Inuktitut language and linguistics; Yeoman, now retired, worked in the Faculty of Education of NLU; and my work focuses on Indigenous literatures. Evidently, approaches to translating Indigenous texts are shifting; while in some instances, it is all about getting the text “out there” to the general population, in others it is about taking the necessary time to understand what might be the needs and priorities of the communities whose stories are being shared.
