ITK President Natan Obed’s opinion piece in today’s Globe and Mail examines why supporting Inuit and Inuit Nunangat would make Canada a stronger, Arctic nation.
“Canada has a tremendous advantage over other Arctic nation-states that seek influence over the region. Inuit are Canada’s Arctic strength – our treaties, land management and historical occupation of a significant portion of this country provide Canada with a foundation for success that few Arctic countries enjoy.
In turn, Canada also has an opportunity, at a time of increased global focus on the Arctic as a militarily and economically strategic region, to bring Inuit Nunangat – the Inuit homeland – into the rest of the country. We have an opportunity to become the nation we want to be.”
