Language Meeting

The Department of Language, Culture and Tourism for the Nunatsiavut Government held a meeting last evening at the Illusuak Cultural Center.

Rita-Ann Dicker is the Language program coordinator.

She says that approximately 10 people showed up and discussed some ways how to promote more of the Inuktitut language.

Participants spoke about past and current programs and how to enhance ongoing and new Inuktitut language initiatives.

There were participants from all different backgrounds, such as teachers, elders, interpreters, translators, reporters, and parents.

Dicker adds that the meeting was a success and that they plan to have another meeting sometime in the near future.
