The small community of Arviat has been selected to host the main campus of Inuit Nunangat University, the first Inuit-led university in Canada.
The institution is expected to open in 2030.
Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami (ITK), which represents Canada’s 70,000 Inuit, passed a resolution to develop the university in 2017, “marking a significant step toward self-determination in higher education.”
