The University of Quebec in Abitibi-Temiscamingue (UQAT) is pleased to
invite you to the 17th Inuit Studies Conference, to be held at the First
Peoples Pavilion on the UQAT Val d'Or campus in Quebec, Canada, during
the last week of October 2010 (exact dates to be announced soon). The
conference theme will be centered on The Inuit and Aboriginal World.
Conference organizers suggest an exploration of relationships between
the Inuit peoples and the other Aboriginal peoples around the world,
including: the First Nations, the Inuvialuit, and the Sami.
Organizations which represent the Inuit (Inuit Circumpolar Conference,
Greenland Home Rule, Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami, Makivik Corporation, and
others) have a determining role to play in the future of these peoples -
their interactions have local, regional, and international consequences.
The sub-themes of education, teacher training, and academic success are
also proposed in order to establish a connection with current and future
leadership upon which the future of the Inuit will be built.
A call for proposals will be announced soon. Please check the website in
the coming weeks for more information: http://www.uqat.ca/isc-cei-2010.
