Pt 2: In the North & In Every Major City

Welcome back! Are you ready for part two of In the North & In Every Major City?? Stay ulaakkut to Paige Kimiksana Kreps, Paige chats with us about being an Urban Inuk in the big city of Tkaronto (Toronto). We'll give ya a little bit of background Information... Due to many complicated and interconnected factors - housing, availability of education, healthcare and work, etc. (thanks, colonialism) - approximately 30% of Inuit live outside Inuit Nunangat and instead make their homes in cities and towns in southern Canada. Inuit in urban centers continue to face challenges accessing culturally appropriate resources and programs due in part to comparatively small numbers. As distinct people with Inuit specific culture, language, history and specific reasons for moving to urban areas, Inuit deserve access to funding and culturally specific opportunities. Put on the kettle and enjoy!
