Nancy Karetak-Lindell, Nunavut’s newly appointed senator, says she is determined to be a voice for Nunavummiut in Ottawa by bringing Inuktitut into the Senate chamber.
“I can easily say if my mother spoke English, she could have been a senator,” Karetak-Lindell said Feb. 26 in an interview at Ottawa’s Victoria Building, which houses her Senate office.
“So, I’m going to speak in Inuktitut for my parents and all the others of their generation who lost control of how they manage their lives.”
