Support linguistic and cultural survival.

We focus on the critical needs of Inuinnait—a distinct regional group of Inuit living in the Central Canadian Arctic. The Inuinnaqtun language—the foundation of Inuinnait culture—has less than 600 fluent speakers remaining. By most estimates, it is a language that will be extinct in less than two generations. The disappearance of Inuinnaqtun precipitates the loss of culturally unique knowledge, relationships and engagements with the world.

Our initiatives are providing opportunities for Inuinnait to reclaim language and knowledge, which is restoring cultural continuity and advancing community wellness and wellbeing. Support a specific Strategic Priority, project, program, or allow us to apply your gift to a pressing need.
