There are two groups of Inuit: those who live in Inuit Nunangat, in the four Inuit regions, and also Inuit urban youth. I think what happens a lot of the time is that a lot of us fall between the cracks in policies and programs. Being an urban Inuk, I wasn't able to act on those programs in Ajax, where I had moved when I was adopted. I think programs that move us back to our culture in our communities are needed. Sometimes it's not accessible because of finances and such.
I think that programs and funding that allow youth to be able to go back to their small communities and experience their culture are really important. That's my suggestion for the federal and provincial governments, because obviously both are involved.
Thank you very much.
