As part of 2010 Year of the Inuit, we are pleased to announce an exciting new initiative - Inuit Qaujisarvingat: The Inuit Knowledge Centre. Inuit Qaujisarvingat (kow-yee-sar-ving-at) will be located at Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami, in Ottawa, Canada.
The goal of Inuit Qaujisarvingat is to bridge the gap between Inuit knowledge and western science — to provide the tools to help Inuit access the systems of western science and aid southern-based scientists interact fully and appropriately in Inuit communities and with Inuit knowledge.
We would like to thank our sponsors for supporting us during the initial phase of our efforts.
