Inuit Unity Takes Center Stage | Edmonton News
Description
Aluki Kotierk has officially taken the helm as chair of the Inuit Circumpolar Council, succeeding Sara Olsvig from Greenland, and vows to unite Inuit across the Arctic through mutual support. At the landmark in-person assembly in Iqaluit — the first in years — delegates from Greenland, Russia, Alaska, and Canada gathered to affirm shared rights, language, and knowledge. The group adopted a bold new declaration prioritizing hunting/fishing rights, Inuit-led research funding, peace, and sovereignty — while rejecting identity fraud and external claims. With a newly elected executive council and a renewed sense of community, the ICC is poised for global impact, especially with Canada’s leadership and a new Arctic ambassador guiding the way — next stop: Alaska in 2030.
