Chief Vuniani Nakauyaca sharing the word of God in Pond Inlet
In July of 2009, Chief Vuniani and Savenaca Nakauyaca were invited by the community of Pond Inlet in the Arctic, Canada to be guest at their 1st healing the land anniversary and while there they were asked to facilitate the Healing the Land process on an island that have been defiled by past generations through adultery and sexual sins.They were told that the Scottish whalers would come ashore on this island and would drink alcohol with the males of that community and in return they would take the females into the ship for sexual pleasure. And at times even the husband would voluntarily exchange their wives with alcohol.This community were under Gods curse as consequences to their actions. So at this gathering, by the grace of God there happened to be a Scottish couple who heard about what was going to take place, they flew from down south Canada to this community just to repent on behalf of the sins that their forefathers - the Scottish Whalers did.

As Savenaca Nakauyaca shared the word of God on that particular island, the couple from Scotland couldn't hold back tears as they could feel the pain that was so deep in the hearts of the people of what the Scottish Whalers did to the people of this community. As they knelt down to repent before the people there was a complete silence, as words were hardly spoken by the couple from Scotland cause wailing and travailing took over! At the same time the presence of the Lord descend upon the island and people were all on their knees crying out as God as touched and heal the generational hurts in their heart. Also a time was given to one of the man to repent on behalf of all the man that allowed their women to be considered as a sex object to the Sottish Whalers.

Reconciliation between the Scottish descendants and the people of Pond Inlet
This gathering climaxed to the reconciliation between the Scottish descendants and the people of Pond Inlet followed with cleansing of the island by the element for cleansing. At the end of the process Savenaca asked the people; as to what they want to see happen in their community or what they want God to do for them? They all want Bow-head whale and Caribou to come as it has been absent from their waters for 100 years and the Caribou for over a decade. These two of the delicacies that they have missed for a long time. And a prayer of blessings was made to God for the desire the people have in their heart - that is for them again enjoy the meat of Bow-head whale and Caribou. Guess what!A few months later to the surprise of the community, a huge Bow-head whale were swimming their waters after 100 years of absence. One of the leaders in Pond Inlet had this to say via e-mail;
"Greetings from Nunavut!
It has been a year since Healing of the Land process took place near our community where Scottish whalers had their posts. It is quite significant that last week in Pond Inlet, the same week when we held our healing of the land process, caught their first bowhead whale after over hundred years. This is truly a sign of God's wonderful blessing to the community. I'm attaching a photo of the whale caught by the hunters.
Thank you for your obedience to God's voice and going to different nations and doing healing of the land process.....I encourage you to continue to do God's wonderful work!
Yours in Christ,
Martha"

But for the Caribou while Savenaca and Vuniani Nakauyaca were still there, they witnessed the killing of the first one, and hunters say that they have come close to their community in large quantity as never before. Yes when Gods favor comes upon the land He definitely will you the desires of your heart...the people of Pond Inlet got what they desired for from the Lord!

Before there weren't any flowers nor black berry growing on the land because of its geography (rocky and snow), but now flowers are blooming everywhere and black berry bearing as never before.
