The term “Inuit” like the term “American Indian” or “Native American” refers to a diverse group of indigenous peoples living in the territories of the Arctic which were colonized by the Europeans (French and British) and later became the nation we know as Canada. The Inuit film, “Atanarjuat: The Fast Runner” was made in 2001, 2 years after literally centuries of battles with the Canadian government over land rights finally successfully led to the founding of an Inuit sovereign homeland, Nunavut (the Inukitut term for our land). “Atanarjuat” was produced by an Inuit film company, with an almost all Inuit production staff, with all Inuit actors, for the Inuit peoples.

•According to Ginsburg (2003) and Huhndorf (2003), in what ways does the film represent continuity between the past and the future?
•According to Ginsburg (2003), what does “visual sovereignty” mean and why is “Atanarjuat: The Fast Runner” a good example of visual sovereignty?
