Two leaders reflecting on how shipping is affecting Inuit communities, priorities, and long-term plans. National Inuit Youth Council President Gwen Natsiq will ask Qikiqtani Inuit President Olayuk Akesuk to share recent experiences, emerging issues, and how Inuit leadership is responding to both risks and opportunities on the water and the ice. The discussion will highlight what our communities are seeing as the most urgent actions for governments, industry, and partners, and where stronger support is needed to advance Inuit-led decision making.
