Leaders discuss what contributed to changes as part of panel at trade show
The relationship between Inuit and the Government of Canada has shifted greatly over the past decade, five leaders from Inuit organizations and governments said Wednesday in Ottawa.
Makivvik Corp. president Pita Aatami, Nunavut Tunnagvik Inc. CEO Kilikvak Kabloona, Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami legal affairs director William David, Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs deputy minister Valerie Gideon and Nunatsiavut Government deputy minister Isabella Pain spoke of how unity across the four Inuit regions, shared priorities between governments and the establishment of Inuit-led policies are contributing to that positive transformation.
The five were participating in a panel discussion at the Aqsarniit Trade Show and Conference being held this week at the Rogers Centre.
