Natan Obed
Natan Obed is the president of the Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami (ITK), the national representational organization for Canada’s 60,000 Inuit.
The time to act is now. Supporting Inuit Nunangat University is an opportunity to create a stronger, more inclusive, and just Canada while securing our shared Arctic future.
A national council for reconciliation will be an ineffectual body duplicating work that Indigenous representative groups are already undertaking with the federal government.
The health and well-being of our communities depends on the success of this work which would usher in a new era in Canada as well as a gold standard internationally for the implementation of Indigenous Peoples’ rights.
