The 1st Inuit Circumpolar Youth Symposium on the Inuit Language
was a four-day conference during which twenty Inuit youths
representing four territories (Canada, Alaska, Greenland, and
Russia) arrived in Iqaluit, Nunavut to deliberate on issues
surrounding the idea of a common language among all Inuit
peoples across the world in order to promote a unified Inuit
community. Due to the vast regions that the Inuit call home,
representatives from each region discussed issues occurring
within their own community, whether it is in Alaska, Canada,
Greenland, or Russia. Note: This article is in need of
