Iqaluit hotels don’t respect the Inuit language

I am not impressed with the Frobisher Inn’s hotel services. They are not geared toward the elders who are unilingual in Inuktitut.

I just talked to an elder who stayed at the hotel and he said that elders don’t know how to manage the phone because the guide book is all in English with no Inuktitut syllabics written in it.

Even in the dining room, all the menus are in English, with nothing in syllabics. He told me he chooses whatever is on the menu and gets things he doesn’t want. There are no Inuktitut-speaking waiters or waitresses who work there, even at the front desk.

It seems like the elders are left out in the cold because they don’t speak or read English.

The hotel is in Nunavut. It should at least have Inuktitut written on the information to serve everybody equally, not just in the English language.

I wonder if all the hotels are the same?
