BACKGROUND
Inuit have enjoyed much attention from researchers around the world and
have, in fact, participated as partners in some research projects. While
such partnerships create new practices in the research communities, the
process of communicating the research findings to the Inuit for their
own use lacks attention. Much of the findings are published in non-Inuit
languages, and remain inaccessible to the Inuit.
The 14th Inuit Studies Conference, hosted by the Arctic Institute of
North America (AINA) at the University of Calgary is the place to start
negotiating the follow-up of research procedures to deliver the research
findings into meaningful communication from the researchers to the
researched.
