While the basic tale remains the same \u002D a three\u002Dact saga set in the Arctic that chronicles the adventures of a mythical one\u002Deared polar bear over a time span of 500 years \u002D and Inuk theatre artist Reneltta Arluk is back in the director’s chair, the spirit of it has been transformed.
“It was a lot of responsibility to be called in to do this work as an Inuk,” Arluk said. “It meant working with a lot of new , a lot of firsts and a lot of pathmaking.”
She loved the draft, and its “impactful” depiction of the climate crisis, but had concerns about its cultural authenticity because Inuit peoples had not been consulted. “At a certain point we had to go to a larger Inuit collective so it’s not just me – one Inuit voice – giving feedback,” Arluk said.Article content
“I had made many mistakes in my draft, like having the characters eating raw polar bear meat, something that in reality would have killed everyone by the end of Scene One,” Murphy wrote in a 2017 essay. “It was a stupid mistake because instead of checking on that point I just assumed all meat was eaten raw.”

Mounties' union calls on feds to reconsider removal of 'less-lethal intervention options' from RCMP toolkit, citing safety concernsThe union representing RCMP members is raising concerns over the federal government’s push to reduce the number of non-lethal intervention options available to officers, arguing that it should reverse its proposal to limit options such as the carotid control technique, sponge-tipped rounds, and tear gas for the sake of both public and police safety. Both the prime minister’s mandate letter to Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino (Eglinton-Lawrence, Ont.) and a separate mandate letter from Mendicino to RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki outline the government’s move to reform the RCMP in part by “prohibiting the use of neck restraints in any circumstance and the use of tear gas or rubber bullets for crowd control alongside developing national standards for the use-of-force.” “We think that with a new and modernized set of policies around use of force by the RCMP, that it can serve as a role model for other law enforcement branches across the country,” said Mendicino in a May 26 interview with CBC News. In an explanatory video produced by the National Police Federation (NPF), which represents RCMP members and reservists, the carotid control technique is described as a physical control technique that applies pressure to the carotid arteries, temporarily reducing blood flow to the brain. According to the union, it is neither a chokehold nor a neck restraint, and does not restrict breathing or airways. Furthermore, the union says current RCMP training and policy limits the use of the technique to times when an officer assesses risk of “grievous bodily harm or death for themselves or any other person.” Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino’s mandate letter tasks him with ‘prohibiting the use of neck restraints in any circumstance and the use of tear gas or rubber bullets for crowd control.’ The Hill Times photograph by Andrew Meade John Sewell, who was Toronto’s mayor from 1978 to 1980 and is a member of the Toronto Police Accountability Coalition, said the default pos
