“The former head of the Manitoba Inuit Association (MIA) is in custody in Winnipeg after being arrested on a Canada-wide warrant stemming from multiple sex assault investigations in Nunavut.
“Nunavut RCMP say police in Winnipeg arrested Nastania Mullin at home. He’s being held until Nunavut RCMP can transport him to Iqaluit to appear in court. No date has been set and none of the charges have been proven. Police haven’t said how many charges Mullin faces or how many complainants are involved.
“According to an RCMP news release Friday morning, the investigation began in October 2025
“after multiple adult complainants came forward reporting historical incidents alleged to have occurred in Iqaluit”.
“Also in October, a grassroots movement dubbed ‘Inuit Me Too’ began, with several Inuit organizations — including ‘Inuit Taparit Kanatami’, the representative body for Inuit in Canada — taking to social media seemingly out of nowhere to denounce abusers holding leadership positions in the community.
“Now is time to act for Inuit organizations to review their governance policies, to create independent reporting systems and to protect survivors and victims because that’s at the heart of this movement”,
Inuk activist Crystal Martin told ‘Global News’ at the time.
“The ‘Manitoba Inuit Association’ (MIA) was one of the organizations in the movement’s crosshairs. Mullin was CEO at the time. In November 2025, he was let go. Mullin is now suing Manitoba Inuit Association for wrongful dismissal. He’s seeking $646,500 for 2.5 years of lost wages, bonuses and benefits plus $75,000 in aggravated and punitive damages, according to the statement of claim. The statement of defence says Mullin was fired for causing
“substantial damage to MIA’s reputation … and severely impeded the MIA’s ability to deliver services”.
“According to its website, thousands of Inuit come to Manitoba to live, work or receive health services and MIA
“provides dynamic Inuit-specific programs and services… to strengthen connections to Inuit culture, language and community”.”

Background:
“The Manitoba Inuit Association’s former CEO is suing the organization for wrongful dismissal months after he was terminated amid allegations of sexual assault.
“Nastania Mullin says his dismissal in early November was “pretextual and without legitimate basis“. and that he was not given the opportunity to respond to any allegations before he was terminated.
“The Inuit association’s board of directors announced Mullin’s termination on social media on Nov. 7, saying it made the decision following an “intensive review” and that it had engaged an outside organization to conduct an “independent and trauma-based investigation“.
“That announcement came one week after an Ottawa woman told CBC News Mullin sexually assaulted her in Iqaluit more than 20 years ago. CBC News has spoken with two other women who have filed police complaints involving Mullin.
…
“Mullin was hired as the CEO of the association, a non-profit that represents Inuit in Manitoba, in September 2022. His total annual compensation was over $250,000 as per an updated contract signed Oct. 21, 2024, the statement of claim says.
“The lawsuit is seeking $646,500 or more in damages for breach of contract, or damages for wrongful dismissal based on reasonable notice of 18 to 24 months.
“It’s also seeking $75,000 in punitive and aggravated damages…”

‘Time for Accountability’ {Jan.22, 2021}:
“So, it seems that the Inuit in the Northwest Territories have a ‘physical and sexual assault’ epidemic and, of course, it’s being presented as
“an example of how the legacies of the residential school system and colonialism continue to impact the lives of ‘Indigenous’ people today”.
Without accountability, their lives won’t improve.
Providing them with excuses, undermines accountability…
“More than half of women and men in the territories have experienced at least one sexual or physical assault since age 15, according to a ‘Statistics Canada’ report released this week…”
