- International Inuit Day -
Today we celebrate Inuit unity and commemorate Inuit leadership and achievements.
On this special occasion we would like to thank our delegates once again for their great participation to the ICC Delegates Meeting in Ilulissat, Greenland this summer.
”Meeting in person this summer in Ilulissat, we were reminded of our unity, and of the strength of Inuit coming together to share our culture, our language, our challenges and achievements. Although a big gathering we missed our fellow Inuit from Chukotka, who were not able to travel to Greenland in person. It was as heartwarming to hear their messages when they participated online at our Delegates Meeting, as it was to receive their Inuit Day greeting today. Let us use this day to be reminded of the original foresight of our founding leaders in bringing Inuit together from all over Inuit Nunaat and strive for our unity to be intact. Together, we continue to bring Inuit voices and our message of cooperation forward.” – Sara Olsvig, Chair, Inuit Circumpolar Council
In 2006 at the ICC General Assembly, held in Utqiagvik, Alaska, ICC was instructed to “annually proclaim November 7th, the birth date of ICC visionary, Eben Hopson, Sr., as Inuit Day, and to urge all Inuit governments, agencies, and communities to annually proclaim this day as Inuit Day, and conduct appropriate ceremonies and celebrations.”
