Language

In addition to providing information on this aspect of Nunavut’s history, this research is intended to promote the awareness of, and use of Inuinnaqtun – the local dialect of Inuktitut. Through the research collected, and in future, through the fur trade exhibit, students, community members and visitors will be able to select text and sound files in Inuinnaqtun or English.
