PRESERVING AND RENEWING

INUINNAIT KNOWLEDGE, LANGUAGE AND CULTURE

We're an Inuit-led charitable organization that focuses on the priorities of Inuinnait—a distinct regional group of Inuit living in the Central Canadian Arctic. We are reawakening our language, reclaiming our identity, and finding our voices in Inuinnaqtun, so that generations to come will inherit the connection to our ancestors and their knowledge, values, and worldview.

We operate the May Hakongak Community Library & Cultural Centre in Cambridge Bay (Iqaluktuuttiaq), Nunavut—a local hub with a museum space, regional archives, gallery, and community library that welcomes visitors from all over the world. We develop exhibits, create resources, and design programs that communicate our culture and heritage within our community, and beyond our walls.
