The Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami (ITK) and the Inuit Circumpolar Council of Canada (ICC) held their Annual General Meetings in Nain Last Week.
President of the Nunatsiavut Government Johannes Lampe says there were many agenda items that were discussed, issues that are similar across Inuit Nunangat.
Agenda Items included, policy for health, housing, food security, transportation etc.
There was also a press release made by the Nunatsiavut Government on September 27th, 2023.
Nunatsiavut President Johannes Lampe expressed his utmost disappointment over the decision of the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador to issue an apology this past Friday in Cartwright to residential schools survivors and their descendants, many of whom are members of the NunatuKavut Community Council.
This planned apology to an unrecognized Indigenous group precedes any apology to Labrador Inuit residential school survivors and their families – despite concerns expressed to the office of Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Andrew Furey and Indigenous Affairs and Reconciliation Minister Lisa Dempster.
