title: Qaujimajatuqangit Consensus
|
|
description: >-
|
|
An Inuit practice of communal decision-making grounded in
|
|
qaujimajatuqangit (traditional knowledge), where elders and community
|
|
members deliberate until consensus is reached, with attention to the
|
|
four guiding principles of working for the common good, respecting all
|
|
living things, continually learning, and serving the community. The
|
|
Government of Nunavut explicitly incorporates IQ into its decision-making.

steps:
|
|
- headline: Convene with elders
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The community convenes with elders present and honoured. Elders carry
|
|
qaujimajatuqangit — knowledge accumulated across generations — and
|
|
guide the deliberation.
|
|
- headline: Frame for the common good
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The matter is framed in terms of the common good (piliriqatigiingniq)
|
|
— what serves the whole community and its relationship with the
|
|
land and living things.
|
|
- headline: Deliberate to consensus
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The community deliberates until consensus is reached. Dissent is
|
|
heard and addressed; the process is not rushed, as the Inuit
|
|
understand decisions must hold over time.
|
|
- headline: Honour the land and living things
|
|
description: >-
|
|
Throughout, the decision is tested against its effect on the land and
|
|
on living things — animals, future generations, the camp — not on
|
|
human interest alone.
|
|
- headline: Pronounce and live with it
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The consensus is pronounced and the community lives with the
|
|
decision, observing its effects and revisiting it if the
|
|
consequences prove harmful.
|
|
outcome: >-
|
|
A decision is reached by consensus, grounded in traditional knowledge,
|
|
with the common good and the land held in view.
|
|
practice: >-
|
|
Elders are not symbolic — their knowledge carries the deliberation. If
|
|
the process is rushed, it fails the Inuit understanding that decisions
|
|
must hold over time. |
