Abstract
The article discusses the unfulfilled promise of educating children in the Inuit language in Nunavut, despite the majority of the population being Inuit. A lawsuit filed in 2021 by Nunavut Tunngavik Incorporated and two Inuit mothers seeks to mandate education in the Inuit language from kindergarten to grade twelve. The government of Nunavut argues that their phased approach to introducing Inuit language instruction is more realistic due to a lack of qualified teachers and standardized vocabulary. The lawsuit highlights the importance of preserving Inuit culture and tradition for future generations. [Extracted from the article]
