Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami (Inuktitut syllabics: ᐃᓄᐃᑦ ᑕᐱᕇᑦ ᑲᓇᑕᒥ, meaning "Inuit are united in Canada"),[2] previously known as the Inuit Tapirisat of Canada (Eskimo Brotherhood of Canada),[3][4][5] is a nonprofit organization in Canada that represents over 65,000 Inuit across Inuit Nunangat and the rest of Canada.[6] Their mission is to "serve as a national voice protecting and advancing the rights and interests of Inuit in Canada."[2]
Founded in 1971 by Inuit leaders, the organization has gone on to accomplish various Inuit priorities such as assisting in the negotiation of land claims, representing the voice of Inuit and their culture by using television, taking legal action against those who have violated their rights, and creating a programme to improve education for Inuit children. The ITK has sought to attain its goals either in cooperation with various levels of government or in opposition.[7] Altogether, the ITK looks to advocate on the behalf of Inuit in Canada.[8] The contributions of the ITK led to the creation of Nunavut.[9]
