The heads of Canada’s four regional land claim organizations have chosen former Liberal MP Nancy Karetak-Lindell to serve as president of the Inuit Circumpolar Council’s Canadian wing.
“Ms. Karetak-Lindell said she was honoured to have been given the confidence of the Inuit leaders who represent the four Inuit land claims organizations in Canada,” said an ICC-Canada news release issued mid-evening April 8.
Karetak-Lindell was first elected MP for the newly-created federal riding in Nunavut on June 2, 1997.
