Nancy Karetak-Lindell calls for Inuit support in keynote speech to Kivalliq Trade Show
Sen. Nancy Karetak-Lindell opened her speech to the Kivalliq Trade Show in Rankin Inlet on Tuesday by asserting, “No one can convince me that my father and mother did not have PhD knowledge.”
Reflecting on the trade show’s theme of “Kivalliq in a changing North,” Karetak-Lindell said the difference between changes in the past and today is that Inuit must now be in the driver’s seat for such change.
“We need to be at the tables and decide what changes should be happening to us and everyone that lives in Nunavut,” she said.
