#Inuit have lived off the land for centuries. The bond between people & their natural surroundings, #knowledge & #understanding of wildlife & #WeatherPatterns & #SeasonalChanges plays an #ImportantRole in #InuitCultures ; this needs to be #respected & #amplified the same way other #Canadian perspectives are. Though Inuit have their own governing bodies and policies, they are still affected by federal decision making.
