They're essential. We have such small populations that it's so important to understand in an aggregated but Inuit-specific way what issues are Inuit-specific and what issues are from other parts of the population.
We really don't have a good sense of how to approach some of these and how to advocate for particular changes in legislation or particular interventions in our communities—for socio-economic issues, for mental health issues, for policing—if we have just a basic understanding or no understanding of...and can't interpret the data that is already being collected.
We need better access, and we need more Inuit specificity within the data.
