146B (Washington Convention Center )
Udloriak Hanson , Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami, Ottawa, ON, Canada
Ms. Hanson’s remarks will address how Inuit are insisting on a much bigger role for Inuit in the full range of decision making and policy making affecting Inuit Nunangat, the Inuit homeland.   The remarks will touch upon the importance of the 2009 document entitled A Circumpolar Inuit Declaration on Sovereignty in the Arctic, and will argue for both the need for Inuit to attach conditions to natural resource development in Inuit Nunangat and for the world to respect such conditions.
