Inuit led, Inuit owned.

from The Arctic Edge · host Agnico Eagle

In this episode, we delve into how Nunavut, once an idea of visionary Inuit leaders, has evolved into a territory defined by opportunities, resilience and cultural strength.  The heart of this episode is the geographic heart of Canada, Baker Lake, and the people who are reshaping the narrative of the North.  Through mining, infrastructure and environmental stewardship, Inuit voices are leading the way. We meet Inuit entrepreneur Derek Irwin, whose profound belief in environmental stewardship, his passion for the land, and his drive to build Inuit capacity demonstrate that Inuit leadership isn’t just about outcomes. It’s about intention, values, vision and lasting impact.  We also hear from Minister of Community Services, David Akeeagok and David Kakuktinniq, president and CEO of Sakku Investments Corporation.  Their insights build on Derek’s message, that Nunavut’s future is defined by a deep commitment to stewardship, meaningful relationships with the land, and the strength of its communities.  To learn more, visit www.thearcticedge.ca
