Aaniin Kinaweya!



Indigenous Services would like to honour International Inuit day. Since time immemorial, the Inuit have been stewards of the North and continue to make ongoing sacrifices and contributions to the Nation.

““Inuit Day was first celebrated on November 7th, 2006, when the General Assembly of the Inuit Circumpolar Council (ICC) was instructed to “annually proclaim this day as Inuit Day and conduct appropriate ceremonies and celebrations”.

The day chosen by the ICC coincides with the birth date of ICC founder Alaskan Eben Hopson, considered a visionary by Inuit populations internationally. Hopson believed that speaking with a united voice was vital for Inuit to flourish in their circumpolar homelands. The day is thus intended to celebrate the identities, languages, and cultures of over 160 000 Inuit from several Arctic regions in Canada, Alaska, Greenland, and Russia.””

She has resided in Barrie for last 10 years after living in Winnipeg. Mainna grew up up north only speaking Inuktitut with one hour a week of learning English in school until high school.
