Inuit Studies Conference
Inuit Traditions are a repository of Inuit culture, a primary expression of Inuit identity.
Around this theme, the 2016 Inuit Studies Conference is bringing together Elders, knowledge-bearers, researchers, artists, policy-makers, students and others to engage in conversations about the many and diverse ways in which traditions shape understanding, while registering social and cultural change.
Co-hosted by Memorial University of Newfoundland and the Nunatsiavut Government, the conference will take place in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador from October 7th-10th, 2016.
“Inuit Traditions” has assembled a program of over two hundred presentations, panel discussions, and demonstrations that explore a wide range of disciplines including: education, housing, health, language, archaeology, the creative arts, the environment, public policy and many more.
Distinctively Inuit perspectives will thread through these discussions on community knowledge, language & cultural expression, relationships with the land, intergenerational transmission, technology and change, and community health and well-being.
