Inuit Day

International Inuit Day, also known as International Circumpolar Inuit Day, is a holiday that was created to celebrate Inuit and amplify their voices.

Inuit are a group of culturally similar Indigenous Peoples that live in the circumpolar Arctic and Sub-Arctic regions of Canada, Greenland, Alaska, and Russia. The word Inuit means " the people", and a single person is known as an Inuk. There are approximately 160 000 Inuit worldwide, with 65 000 living in Canada.
