A society in Arviat, Nunavut, is trying to reinvigorate Inuit laws and practices in the community. "The difficulty we have with saying 'Inuit laws,' is that even myself, I don't know what they are. "We're all hurting in that area, with Inuit laws." Inuit culture was hugely impacted since colonization from the South, said Karetak, so that's why his community began creating subcommittees of elders who will gather Inuit laws specifically for the people of Arviat. (Submitted by Joe Karetak)Karetak said the community will have radio shows to help implement these Arviat-specific Inuit laws, and elders will help make sure the community is hitting its targets.
