There's one deepwater port in Inuit Nunangat, located in Iqaluit. In contrast, Inuktitut, the language of Inuit Nunangat, is not the primary language of instruction for most Inuit students in their homeland. Tyson Prusky, 19, says a university located in Inuit Nunangat would help young people remain connected to their homeland and their culture. She and her brother said they plan to apply to the new Inuit Nunangat University once it opens in 2030 — either as students or staff. Canada's only Arctic-region university is in Yukon, which is not located in Inuit Nunangat.
