Keynote: Natan Obed
Description: Inuit, as an Indigenous people, are implementing their right to self-determination through the realization of a new policy space within Inuit Nunangat—the homeland of Inuit in Canada.
The space offers a distinctions-based approach to all work, and defines our preferred approach to partnering with governments in the implementation of Indigenous human rights.
At the same time, the Canadian government is taking steps towards reconciliation and a renewed relationship with Indigenous peoples in response to the implementation of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People (UNDRIP) and the calls to action within the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
