• 17th Inuit Studies Conference
  The date for this event has not been determined, Val-d'Or, Quebec Canada. UQAT is proud to invite you to the 17th Inuit Studies Conference, the theme of which will be The Inuit and the Aboriginal World. We would like to suggest an exploration of the sub-theme of relations between the Inuit peoples and the other Aboriginal peoples around the world, in particular their neighbours, the First Nations, the Inuvialuit and the Samí. Organizations which represent the Inuit (Inuit Circumpolar Conference, Greenland Home Rule, Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami, Makivik Corporation and others) have a determining role to play in the future of these peoples and their interactions have local, regional, and international consequences The further sub-themes of education, teacher training and academic success are also proposed in order to establish a connection with current leadership, as well as with the leadership of tomorrow, upon which the future of the Inuit will be built.
