Canadian Identity and History

This is perhaps one of the greatest advantages that Canada has as a northern country: our geographic reality has helped to shape our Canadian sense of community and mutual responsibility.The geographical fact of our northernness has moulded our way of viewing the world.-Honourable StLphane Dion:June 21, 1999As we celebrated our 30th anniversary, we [ITK] changed our name from Inuit Tapirisat of Canada to Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami.We also adopted a new logo.At its heart is Canada's maple leaf, circled by Inuit representing the four Settlement Regions, all anchored to the ulu.Together they demonstrate our cultural distinctions and unity, as well as our commitment to Canada.We are more than First Canadians, we are Canadians First!
