Do you know an Elder passionate about passing on their knowledge and helping keep Inuit culture, identity, and traditions strong? We invite community members and organizations across Nunavut to nominate an Elder whose contributions deserve recognition.
Inuit Heritage Trust (IHT) is now accepting nominations for Elders who play an important role in sharing Inuit knowledge with younger generations.
IHT's Board of Trustees will select one Elder from each region in Nunavut. Each recipient will receive a commemorative plaque and a $1,500 honorarium.
How to nominate:�Complete the nomination form and submit it, along with a photograph of the Elder through our online form (https://www.ihti.ca/elderawardnomination).
You can also complete the nomination form and submit it along with a photograph by email to [email protected].
Nomination deadline: November 15, 2026
Let’s celebrate the Elders who share their knowledge, strengthen Inuit cultural identity and inspire future generations!

Inuit Heritage Trust (IHT) is proud to help bring Inuit perspectives to the screen with Beneath the Water: The Wrecks of HMS Erebus and HMS Terror National Historic Site.

A public screening is scheduled for October 20 at 6:30 p.m. at the Astro Hill Theatre in Iqaluit.

This 31-minute documentary explores the Franklin expedition and the connections between Inuit knowledge, history, and the ships' discovery. It highlights the importance of Inuit contributions in understanding and caring for these historic sites. IHT co-owns the WETNHS artifacts with Parks Canada.

As a co-producer, IHT works alongside the Nattilik Heritage Society, Kitikmeot Inuit Association and Parks Canada to help ensure Inuit knowledge and perspectives are recognized and included in how this important part of history is shared.

By supporting projects like this, IHT helps promote Inuit heritage and keep Inuit voices central to telling the stories of our past.

On the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, Inuit Heritage Trust recognizes the importance of protecting Inuit culture, language, knowledge and history. The Nunavut Inuit Heritage Centre will create a space where Inuit cultural belongings, stories, knowledge and skills can return home and be shared by Inuit, for Inuit. Through our work in archaeology, collections and traditional place names, IHT is helping ensure that Inuit have a voice in how our heritage is protected, cared for and shared.

What stories can an object tell?

Inuit Worlds, a virtual exhibition created through a four-year collaboration between the community of Igloolik and Université Laval, features dozens of objects from the collection gathered in the 1960s by anthropologist Bernard Saladin d’Anglure. The exhibition brings together the knowledge of Elders, educators, youth, and researchers to share the history, ingenuity, and lived experiences of Inuit.

The website includes photographs, videos, and audio recordings, connecting Inuit history and perspectives with audiences around the world, including Inuit youth. It is available in Inuktut, English and French.

In Toronto, the Inuit Heritage Trust delegation visited the McMichael Canadian Art Collection, which holds important works connected to Nunavut and Inuit art. The visit emphasized the importance of creating a permanent home in Nunavut where Inuit can steward, interpret, and share their own heritage.
Adam Chamberlain, with the law firm Gowling WLG and a fundraising campaign cabinet member for the Nunavut Inuit Heritage Centre project, held a reception to welcome the IHT delegation, bringing together Toronto- and Ottawa-based supporters and friends of the project.
The gathering created space for meaningful conversation about bringing Inuit cultural belongings and knowledge home and about the role that partners and supporters across Canada can play in moving this long-awaited project forward.
Qujannamiik to everyone who joined us, welcomed us, and continues to support this important work!

In June, Inuit Heritage Trust leadership visited TELUS World of Science – Edmonton’s Arctic exhibition, led by Kimberley Tologanak. It was encouraging to see public education focused on the Arctic and to reflect on the importance of sharing northern knowledge, science, culture, and lived experience with care and respect.

Mike Lupien welcomed the delegation to the Little Big Boss launch, which celebrates the memoirs of Alex Gordon and his work and travels in the Canadian Arctic through the 1960s and 1970s.
Visiting Métis Crossing, Alberta’s first major Métis cultural interpretive center, was another highlight of the trip. The IHT team learned from Audrey Poitras, Juanita Marois, and Paul Bercier about building a place where Métis and visitors can gather, learn, practise culture, and share stories. Their leadership offers important insight as IHT advances the Nunavut Inuit Heritage Centre and Heritage Network.
Qujannamiik and thank you to everyone who welcomed us so generously!
