Nunavut Tunngavik Inc. board considers self-government options – Nunatsiaq News

‘We have to give it a try,’ says QIA president P.J. Akeeagok

Nunavut Tunngavik Inc. board members say they want look more closely at gaining greater self-government for Nunavut Inuit.

How to do that came under discussion Wednesday at NTI’s board meeting in Baker Lake, with several board members expressing disillusionment with the Government of Nunavut and the low number of Inuit among its management.

Kunuk Inutiq, NTI’s director of self-determination, presented a report on the topic. She said a Nunavut Inuit self-government would not fundamentally alter its public government and territorial leaders could still represent Nunavummiut.
