The Government of Nunavut has appealed a Nunavut Court of Appeal decision to allow Nunavut Tunngavik Inc (NTI) to continue its lawsuit against NV over Inuit language instruction. NTI is pursuing the territorial government over the lack of Inuit-language education, which it says has eroded the use of Inuktut and negatively affected educational attainment among Inuit students. Nunatsiaq News reports that Nunavut Premier PJ Akeeagok is hoping that the Supreme Court of Canada will stop the lawsuit so that NV and NTI can “settle the key legal issues in this litigation.” NTI President Aluki Kotierk said that the organization is “baffled” by these actions.
