The name of this organization suggests that it works to benefit the about 65,000 Inuit living in Canada's four Inuit regions.
The nonprofit group researches Inuit-related topics for various organizations and helps Inuit communities convey their complaints to the Canadian and British governments.
Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami also hosts several workshops and seminars that aim to educate Canadians about Inuit history and culture while also encouraging participation in legislative efforts to address problems such as racism and territorial claims.
Their primary goal is to maintain the Inuit people's political and cultural unity beyond geographic and temporal boundaries.
