Adamie Veevee

Adamie Veevee was born in 1950 in a camp near Pangnirtung. His testimony contains childhood memories of his family being moved to Pangnirtung without any of their belongings or supplies. He recalls feeling helpless when he witnessed his father’s dogs being shot by an RCMP officer and an Inuk constable, along with dogs belonging to two other Inuit. After losing their dogs, Adamie and his father could no longer travel or provide their family with food, which deeply affected them as providers. He remembers people being hungry in Pangnirtung, where wildlife was not as abundant as in the camp communities.
