June 25, 2019 – Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami welcomes the passing into law last week of Bill C-92, An Act respecting First Nations, Inuit and Metis children, youth and families. The law includes core provisions for Inuit children, including doing whatever is possible to keep children with their families, ensuring all care provided is culturally appropriate, and ensuring Inuit children and youth living outside Inuit Nunangat are identified as Inuit and remain in contact with their culture and home community.
