About the Inuit
- Approximately 180,000 Inuit live across Canada, Greenland, Alaska and Chukotka (Russia).
- Three-quarters of Inuit in Canada live in 53 communities in the northern regions of Canada called Inuit Nunangat. Inuit Nunangat is comprised of four regions: Inuvialuit (NWT and Yukon), Nunavut, Nunavik (Northern Quebec) and Nunatsiavut (Labrador).
- At the 2006 ICC (Inuit Circumpolar Council) General Assembly in Barrow, Alaska, November 7th was proclaimed as Inuit Day to honour the birth date of ICC visionary, Eben Hopson, Sr.
