I am a resident, educator, researcher and advocate for Northern Canada. I have also been engaged internationally with University of the Arctic colleagues most recently engaging in a research relationship with colleagues from Northern Norway. We hosted a group of UArctic scholars on our campus three years ago and in March of 2014 we hosted another group to build research connections between us. Most recently, in September of this year, I was part of a Canadian-‐North Norway trade mission to Tromso. In sum, we have an active and growing connection with University of the Arctic members. Within my own region and as Dean of the Faculty, I have been active in leading the creating of an Inuktitut language supportive B.Ed. Program for the Nunatsiavut Government. We expect similar programs and other graduate programs will be extended to other residents in the region as well. We are also organizing the 3rd Annual Symposium on Indigenous Teacher Education in Labrador this year. We will have participation in this event of Norwegian and Sami representatives as well as Peoples from Nunavut and Labrador. I understand I may be expected to fund part of all of my travel related to this committee’s work and, as Dean, I have the funds needed. On a personal note, and as per item 3 of the nomination call, I am a Canadian, male, of Mi’kmaq ancestry, and my daughters are Inuit. My email address is: [email protected] and my phone number is 709 864-‐8588. I have also attached my curriculum vitae which provides an outline of my related activities and interest in much greater detail. I am deeply committed to advancing education in the North and serving Indigenous Issues in any capacity I can. If you have any further questions please feel free to contact me. Regards,

Kirk Anderson Dean
