OTTAWA — Greenpeace and the Inuit are joining forces to protest Arctic seismic testing, warning Ottawa that its plans to gauge oil and gas reserves with high-intensity sound waves pose grave dangers to marine life.<\/p>\n

Inuit activists are staging a protest Wednesday in Nunavut’s Clyde River, a tiny Baffin Island hamlet just above the Arctic Circle, a week after Greenpeace took their cause to the United Nations.<\/p>\n

Environment Minister Leona Aglukkaq took aim at Greenpeace this week, challenging the environmental group’s opposition to the seal hunt and alleging it’s using the Inuit to advance its own causes.<\/p>\n

But an Inuit environmentalist is turning the tables on Aglukkaq, a Nunavut MP, accusing the Conservative government of “cultural genocide” for its efforts to open up the Arctic to oil and gas exploration.<\/p>\n

Niore Iqalukjuak says the Inuit depend on the Arctic waterways for food and that Inuit lives depend on them.<\/p>\n
