In Nunavik, the question of self-determination in health care is becoming increasingly embedded in the community health discourse, which is used by both health planners and Inuit alike to negotiate diverging positions. While health planners envision northern health care as a subset of the Quebec system, Inuit perceive it as a vehicle to ends that transcend conventional health issues. This thesis will provide an overview of the development of Nunavik health services since the James Bay agreement, focusing on how the use of the community health discourse serves to promote, but also shapes and limits regional and community self-determination.
