Makivvik Corp. president highlights how Inuit in Nunavik are taking matters into their own hands
Makivvik Corp. president Pita Aatami spoke of Inuit empowerment Wednesday at the Aqsarniit Trade Show and Conference in Ottawa.
“It sounds funny when [U.S. President Donald] Trump talks about renaming the Gulf of Mexico into the Gulf of America,” he said.
But he pointed out that Nunavik Inuit are doing much the same thing by renaming lakes previously named by Europeans.
